So much hoopla surrounded the Ducks football program in the last week or so, specifically whether head coach Chip Kelly would officially leave for the NFL or not.

The Lady Duck Report: Oregon looks to rebound vs. UCLA
With so much well deserved attention going to the men’s basketball program and their unexpected and impressive 14-5 (5-2) start, I think it is about time that we give the women’s team some some recognition as well.

Way too Early Pre-Season Top-5 Predictions for 2012
When I started writing this (Friday evening) I had ZERO knowledge of Darron Thomas foregoing his senior year. Having met Darron in the off-season last year and watching him prep the incoming receivers and seeing how hard he trained, and how much of a teacher and leader he was, I just like everyone reading this was shocked at the news …
A witchhunt in Duckland
It all began, as far as I could tell, at about mid-morning Saturday when Fecta23 tweeted there might be some not-so-good news coming soon in Duckland. Well, that’s what I understand Fecta23 opined.
