Oregon Football 2012: Over/Under – Offense
The Oregon Ducks further cemented their reputation for explosive offensive prowess in 2011. Nationally, when people start to talk about Oregon, the words Nike and points are not far behind…lots and lots of points. Right along with uniforms and speed, the Ducks seem to be viewed as a trifecta of all of these attributes, and for good reason. In 2011, …

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. The old cliché goes, ‘everything’s bigger in Texas.’ Up until 2010, the Ducks softball team had played small ball that did not lead to the …

Oregon’s measured recruiting approach
Amid all the happiness over Oregon getting a verbal commitment Friday from heralded Texas running back Dontre Wilson was one thorny issue. Wilson is only the third soon-to-be high school senior to pick the Ducks so far. A few years ago, that would have been three more than Oregon typically had at this point in the recruiting cycle. Oh, how …
Notes from around college football: LSU vs. Bama the best thing for college football? Can new summer programs help fans?
Another week is in the books, and your favorite team still remains in your favorite conference…or does it? If realignment and rumors were a part of the game, then we would have so much more to talk about and analyze this past week. Of course it comes down to Notre Dame, the school whose tradition somehow remains relevant to the …

And something tells me that you would like to see something with …
Bennett or Mariota? Why it doesn’t matter
As the Oregon Ducks football team prepares this summer for the upcoming 2012 season, many personnel questions will remain unanswered, as voluntary practices and workouts will continue to go unseen for the foreseeable future, all media and the public barred from attending. We expect to be watching a few new faces on the field next fall, but no question that one of …
Building a Program In the New Pac-12: It’s as Simple as Simple as Simple as Repetition
Creativity is something that is trending in the PAC-12, just look at the new hires for evidence of that, with two new coaches in the state of Arizona as well as at UCLA. Modeling Chip Kelly’s wide open spread laboratory is now a mainstream practice on the west coast, but the matchup that football strategy junkies everywhere are looking forward …
