Why Do I Hate the Huskies?

Kim Hastings FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

I hate them because, without the Don James cheating years, they never actually dominated anything. I hate them because they knew they would win if they knocked our quarterbacks out of the game with cheap (and late, way late!) hits in the 80’s.

Joel Gunderson FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

To say that Washington week elicits a reaction from Ducks would be an understatement. While some say that Oregon’s in-state competition is the biggest rival, any true Duck fan knows that simply is not the case.

Recruiting Update: How the heck do you say that kid’s name?!

Mark Flores FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Football Recruiting Prospects It’s difficult to imagine that current running back Kenjon Barner will no longer man the Oregon backfield following this season. Just think of where Oregon was at when he arrived–Oregon coming off a Sun Bowl victory over USF after it seemed like the Ducks were finally over the hump and bound for the BCS, until Dennis Dixon’s knee …
