He does, that's why we are playing Oregon this year. I wouldn't count on any games scheduled for Rivers though, my guess is K knows he won't be around long enough to play in the game. I think it's a reward to the player in question, which means you've got to earn it. (That might not be true at all, but it's my gut feeling.) Luckily Kyle stuck around long enough to play in his.
