It’s set. Thanks to some late game heroics, we will not be having an SEC vs. SEC title game. Notre Dame held on for the late win over their bitter rival USC. It was rivalry week, and boy, did we have some big games (UF vs. FSU, Clemson vs. South Carolina), and then we had some others no one even …

Most fans don’t realize that today’s Oregon-Oregon State game wasn’t always going to be called The Civil War.  There was a resolution brought before the Oregon State Legislature in 1965 that would have made our game the first one to be sponsored by a nationally recognized company. The Dee Andros Thanksgiving Feast Classic, Sponsored by Dexatrim Dee Andros was a big man on …

Heading into today’s 116th Civil War matchup in Corvallis, Oregon looks to right the ship after last week’s heart-wrenching overtime loss to Stanford, which dropped them to fifth in the BCS. The 17-14 loss to the Cardinal not only derailed the Ducks’ quest for perfection, it showed the conference (namely Oregon State) that Oregon is beatable, after defeating opponents by an …

When the fallout cleared from USC’s pseudo-return to college football last year, Oregon had the benefit of playing a disparaged Oregon State squad in Autzen Stadium. Right from the get-go, Sean Mannion threw a pick straight into an Oregon defender’s hands, the Ducks scored on the ensuing possession, and the rest is history. Unlike last year, the biggest problem for Oregon …

Oregon – more so than other programs – has a propensity to look for athletes. Players listed as athletes often don’t fit the classic profile for a specific position. It is not uncommon for these players to be a bit underrated. In the haste to make everyone fit in a box, athletes like this can be somewhat overlooked. And yet, …

Basketball Recruiting Signings Last Thursday, Head Coach Dana Altman & Co. signed a program-changing low post presence in power forward Jordan Bell (4-Star/Long Beach, CA). Heralded as one of if not the top shot blocker in the nation, the 6’8″, 225 lb. defensive force is an early headline in Oregon’s 2013 recruiting class. “Bell is an absolute stud of an …

The Civil War is one of the most historic and heated college football rivalries in the NCAA. It may lack the pizazz and national attention of, let’s say, a Michigan vs Ohio State rivalry game, but this end-of-season matchup has been marked on the calendars of football fans in the Northwest for decades. A strong argument can be made that …

I do not know about everyone else but I think Saturday’s game gave me a few grey hairs and brought me within reach of a heart attack. I honestly felt a little sick to my stomach as I watched Stanford’s field goal sail through the goal posts. In that one moment, the Ducks went from being national championship contenders to potentially …

Sports Medicine Shoulder Injuries By Dr. Jack Dreisen Figure : Dion Jordan Reinjures Shoulder – We Hope He Recovers Soon!   Figure : “This is what happens with shoulder injuries.” As I am not privy to the type of injury Oregon players sustain or the severity of it, I can only discuss shoulder injuries in general.   Figure . Shoulder …

It has happened. BCS chaos is back and Notre Dame can be declared back (until USC whips them in LA next week). For the first time since 2007, the #1 and #2 team have lost on the same day. One loss was not pretty while another loss is going to sting for a very long time. To add onto the …

The #1 Oregon Ducks’ national championship title hopes took a significant blow last night when they dropped their match with #14 Stanford, 17-14 (OT). In a game where statistics demonstrated how closely matched this contest was, small errors loomed large. What was particularly disconcerting to fans, however, was the fact that (losing notwithstanding) we did not recognize the team that …
