Oregon fan invoices coach after loss

[utvolpj]

And to think of all the money I could have gotten from my travels

Oregon alum Tony Seminary is well aware of the protocol: Travel, cheer, take what comes. But what came was so bad, Seminary decided to fire off a pointed e-mail to Kelly, anyway, complete with an invoice from his IT company, even though he never expected a response:

I was so angry with the game (even before the post-game melee) I am sending you an invoice for my trip to Boise. The product on the field Thursday night is not something I was at all proud of, and I feel as though I’m entitled to my money back for the trip. Please see my invoice attached in this email. I will happily send along receipts if need be.
​

and Coack Kelly's response?

A cathartic lark good for $439, signed by the boss himself (signature distorted here, for obvious reasons) and confirmed with Seminary. Who will not be cashing it, of course; this kind of unique novelty is worth 10 times the face value in party conversation, fleeting Internet notoriety and old-fashioned personal pride.

Did he send him a dead duck? Oh.... the irony.

 

[dantheman617]

mmm...What is Fulmer's address?

 

[the.one.the.only]

That real?

 

[BigPapaVol]

Think Fulmer will respond similarly. If so, I better move fast because the line will be brutal.

 

[TXA&M07]

Oh My God! Thats is crazy awesome. Where in the hell did you find this?

 

[dantheman617]

exactly. It is not like he doesn't have a extra 6 million a year laying around

[3L with debt]

fulmer can keep his money. I would just appreciate a handwritten apology.

[VOLinthaNATI]

This is old, not about UT and the Oregon coach sent a check and the fan sent it back...

 

[TXA&M07]

youre a little late, but this story is funny as all get out.

 

[rowsdower]

Y'all should send a check to Fulmer for the past x number of seasons. That buyout should be able to recupe some fans' sorrow.

 

[JonWard]

And every other coack in the country wishes they had thought of this, lol.

 

[orangestorm]

How many other coaches will get letters like this now?

I'm waiting for the story to pop up where Tedford writes a check refunding Droski's Cal tickets.
