Ernie Kent: "Depart, I say......."



Last night my Oregon Ducks lost to the Cal Bears by 32 points in Men's Basketball The 4th loss in a row and after several seasons of poor performance from his teams there is no debating the issue.

To Oregon Basketball Coach Ernie Kent! "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

A phrase used on two dramatic occasions in the British House of Commons. It was first spoken by Oliver Cromwell in 1653 when forcibly ejecting the remaining members of the Long Parliament: 'You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!' The passage was used by Leo Amery on 7 May 1940 in his attack on Neville *Chamberlain.


Ernie is a Duck and will always be a Duck and as someone who bleeds green and yellow he must understand how destructive this season is on the University of Oregon, the team and himself. Many fans have given up on Oregon Basketball and the results will be seen in the empty stands at the next home games and in ticket sales for the new arena for next season. . The Athletic Department needs to act fast as they have a disaster on their hands. Oregon Duck fans are in rebellion! He needs to go NOW!
