Eugene, Oregon, despite its predominantly white demographic, has long been a place proud of its diversity and equality. “Keep Eugene Weird” is the popular common slogan used today, though a place where people are allowed to be themselves judged by their actions not the color of their skin or other unfortunate societal misconceptions and stereotypes of the past shouldn’t be …
Introducing DAT, future track All-American?
Many expect De’Anthony Thomas to eventually earn All-America honors in football. His freshman season at Oregon was that spectacular.

The Full Court Press: Dana Altman’s Magic Powers
He’s honest, down-to-earth, talented, forthcoming, and most importantly; he’s humble. He is Dana Altman. The Oregon Ducks Men’s Basketball head coach. In only his second season he has coached his 2011-2012 team to a 16-7 overall record, and a 7-4 Pac-12 Conference record. This may seem like old, or even repetitive news, but in looking at where Oregon was not …
Got Butte? Duck signee does
Thirty some odd years ago, I found myself in Butte, Mont., one Saturday in football season loaded up on sauce and ready to cheer and perhaps rumble. Carroll College at Montana Tech. The Fighting Saints at the Orediggers. The funny part is I don’t recall today who won the game. I was going to Carroll at the time (before transferring …

The Full Court Press: Jazzercise, Hair, Super Glue, and Joey
Last Sunday the Ducks and Beavers played against one another for an NCAA-record 336th time. Contrary to the typical talk about the Civil War, the electrifying exchanges about Sunday’s clash before and during were not so much about the game itself. Rather, the conversation was about all of the details that make this rivalry so intense. As it should be. …

From the first football game played at Oregon in 1894 (a 46-0 victory over Albany College) to the Ducks’ 45-38 victory in the Rose Bowl a few weeks ago, Oregon has been extraordinarily fortunate to maintain coaching stability for the vast majority of its history. The University of Oregon has long been a place of tremendous individual talents, even when …
Lessons learned from the Kelly-not saga
You can feel the relief, even now. A week has passed since Oregon coach Chip Kelly appeared to be out the door on the way to the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers only to let it be known in the midnight hour he wasn’t going anywhere.
