If you're the type that loves good juju and the Oregon Ducks, you have a great reason to smile.
Way before Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich landed on the sideline at Autzen Stadium, he was a three-year all-American quarterback at Southern Oregon University in the early nineties, where he set all-time records for passing yards, touchdowns, and total offense.
Just days ago, Southern Oregon won its first-ever NAIA national title, and Helf had a nice little exchange with his alma mater on Twitter. The Raiders let Helfrich know that it's his turn to bring some hardware home to the state of Oregon:
