The McLemore Era…On the Defensive Side
This four-year stalwart played a huge role in Oregon’s success through the late 90’s. Many remember the “McLemore era” for the amazing career of superstar receiver Cristin McLemore (1992-1995), but his brother Brandon excelled equally on the defensive side of the ball through the latter-half of the 90’s.

Ducks on Deck: It’s been a while
It’s been a while…Since 1989 to be exact. That is the last time the Oregon softball program made its first and only College World Series appearance. They can now add 2012 to the media guide.

If you are married, you would probably say your wedding day. I am getting married in July, which matters because for the first …
