Championship Week has come and gone, and it was a good one. Well, a good one for Alabama fans, but a weekend to forget if for Georgia fans. The SEC title game was one of the games of the year, while the Big Ten title game was one to forget. As for the ACC title game, I was going to …

Dateline East Philomath: (AP) Chaos broke out in the back woods last Saturday when an Oregon State Beaver fan, overcome with what was happening on the field, spontaneously combusted. A mop and bucket brigade were dispatched forthwith to Section 125, where the unfortunate event took place.     While at first the identity of the Beaver fan pictured above was …

On Sunday the BCS match-ups will be released, with Oregon’s opponent in the Fiesta Bowl (this, of course is assuming the Ducks make it, which at this point is a 99.9% certainty) likely being either the Kansas State Wildcats or the hated Sooners of Oklahoma. Both are formidable foes, but the biggest opponent Oregon will face this bowl season will …

We always get a fascinating perspective on recruiting from Chris Charbonnier as he gives us probabilities on the chances of landing particular players and why.  As we wind down the last two months of recruiting he will offer an occasional column where he answers questions that are posed by Oregon fans.  What would you like to get his opinion on?  …

A Kicking Savior? When people look back on Oregon’s special teams play this year, all that many will remember are missed field goals, and justifiably so. Oregon went 5 for 12 on the year, including two crucial misses against Stanford that led to the team’s only loss. While the field goal kicking left a lot to be desired, the kickoff …

Position coaches are expected to make in-home visits with an emphasis on gauging where preps stand as the college football universe creeps every closer to signing day. The next few days will prove vital in Oregon’s continued success on the field for years to …

If the rumblings are true, Oregon’s fearless football leader and master of the abrupt sound bite could be headed for the NFL at the end of the season.  Last night’s Monday Night Football game may have served as a pseudo audition, as talented underachievers like Carolina and Philadelphia begin to circle the pro football toilet bowl with 3-8 records.  Their fans …

I cannot say that I am surprised with the results of last weekend’s games, especially as they pertained to the Oregon schedule. Most of them called for “upsets” that were long shots, and were mostly made up of diehard Duck fans’ dreams of a national and conference title. Now that the dust has settled on the final weekend of the …

After the loss to Stanford last week, many fans felt as if Oregon’s season was for naught. A special blend of blowouts seemed to have gone wrong and dominance turned to mush amidst the formidable Stanford defense. Saturday turned all of those feelings around and made the season magical again. Simply put, there is no better feeling in the world …

How would the Ducks respond? That was the big question going into Saturday’s Civil War matchup in Corvallis.  After a devastating loss only a week earlier, how would they find the energy and motivation to beat a resurgent Oregon State team? Turns out, the Beavers gave them all the motivation they would need. In a chippy Civil War that, saw …
