Just saw a blog by an Oregon track & field writer on last Saturday's Pepsi Team Challenge in Eugene, and couldn't help but notice the spikes on Oregon sprinter Mandy White: http://www.steveritchieontrack.com/ Is Jordan Brand planning to get into track & field any time soon?

BTW, saw Tinker at Hayward Field on Sunday for the Nike Prefontaine Classic sitting in the East Grandstands in front of the pole vault pit. After Brad Walker won with an American record jump of 19-9 3/4, Brad did a victory lap around the track, then was stopped by Tinker when he ran by...

What about a white guy in a high profile sport, or a golfer? What white guys in the NBA wear Jordans? Could any of you see John Daly walking around the course wearing Jordan golf shoes, while puffing a cigarette and pulling a beer out of his bag? On a serious note, I wish JB would retro the...

Onemore link: Can anyone from Eugene please post photos of the scoreboard?

I can't wait for the new scoreboard at Hayward Field thatTinker designed. When I was in Eugene a few weeks, ago, they were laying down the base for it.

It's not a big seller, but he designed the Zoom PVLite, which was the shoe Tim Mack wore to win the 2004 Olympics in the pole vault. I saw Tinker in Athens at the Olympics sitting in the section with allthe pole vault coaches...he was one of the happiest guys in the stands when the pole vault...

If I'm lucky enough, I can actually get away with CHILDRENS XL Jordan Brand clothing (sweats usually--not with tshirts)...tends to fit like a mens medium. Bottom line--just have a good eye for what's available in kids Jordan clothing, and get over the fact it's tagged as children's clothing.

Note the second photo that shooter125 posted of Bowerman and the fedora...that's also the inspiration for the Bowerman Series logo that's on the insole of every shoe in the series (Pegasus, Structure Triax, etc.)

If you missed the commercial, it's at: www.nike.com/nikerunning/usa/home.jhtml?promoID=adv#prefontaine I believe that Phil Knight is narrating the commercial. Hey DS 530s finest, I do remember Hailu...he and Pre had a helluva battle (your uncle ran at Oregon State)...it was a race Pre...

Great column in the May 29th Seattle Times on Pre by Blaine Newnham, who covered Pre when he was the sports editor of the Eugene Register Guard. Go to:seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2002292096_blai29.html?syndication=rss Also, a quick bio is posted at...

My guess is that something will be done at the Nike Prefontaine Classic in Eugene on June 4th, which is the biggest and best annual world-class invitational track meet in the United States, and televised on NBC. For many of Nike's contracted track athletes, this is as close to a mandatory...
