After two sub-par seasons, Oregon basketball should be heading into next season with some momentum. I was down on the Ducks after three starters were declared out for the NIT.

Oregon Ducks Football: Christian Gonzalez Must Go Top-10 in the NFL Draft
Christian Gonzalez made a career-defining decision to join the Oregon Ducks football program. Fortunately for him, that choice was the right one.

Now, our Ducks look ahead to the draft where Gonzalez aims to become …
Lanning Can’t Accept Defensive Mediocrity in 2023
When people talk about Oregon Ducks football, very seldom is the defense mentioned. And if it is, it’s not in a positive way. For as much as Oregon’s offense exploded in Dan Lanning’s inaugural season with the Ducks, its defense failed to deliver far too often, ultimately costing the Ducks a shot at the conference title and a potential Playoff …
This First-Year Coaching Rule Should Be Made Permanent
There is a strange rule in College Football where a first-year head coach with a program has the ability to remove players from the football team, and the team will regain that scholarship right away.

Pac-12 Football: In George We Trust
There are a lot of hot rumors circulating around the Pac-12’s forthcoming media rights deal. Most of them are on the bad side. People are losing their sanity over the length of the negotiations because the assumption is that the longer they go, the worse things are. And, while that could be true, it certainly does not mean that it …
Will Stein: Oregon’s New OC and Miracle-Maker?
The title looks like classic hype to promote a blah-blah article, or serves as typical web click-bait. Yet those of you who have watched my videos and read my (Over 600) articles created over the last 11 years know I back up extraordinary claims with proof, or a logical rationale that makes sense.

Oregon Ducks Football: 4 Ways Lanning’s Ducks Can Finish Games Better in 2023

Hopefully, these changes will …
It’s Time to Feed the Beast – Get Bucky Irving the Ball
Oregon had a strong one-two punch this last year in its two main running backs, Bucky Irving and Noah Whittington. Both had their moments and regularly generated explosive plays. Oregon also rotated in Jordan James and Sean Dollars at times, though in more limited roles. Dollars has since left the program and James will continue to grow as Oregon’s big-back …
Oregon Fans Should Brace for Lanning’s Mudslinging Strategy
All the changes to college football with the portal, NIL, conference realignment and media rights have created discussions we never dreamed of having as Oregon fans even five years ago.
