Eventful news came out yesterday regarding Oregon’s track and field team’s performance at the Don Kirby Elite in Albuquerque, N.M., the Millrose Games in New York and the Husky Classic in Seattle, WA. However, the outstanding aspect in those track meets was the school records that were snapped. First, sophomore Edward Cheserek broke the school record with a mile run …
Just over a week ago Grantland Staff Writer, Ryan O’Hanlon, posted an article questioning just how far Marcus Mariota would slip in the draft. Here is an excerpt from that piece. “A report from an anonymous scout captures the general sentiment around Mariota as a prospect: ‘See, the thing about this guy? He has a great arm. He reads a …
The Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team matched up against Steve Alford and the UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion on Saturday afternoon, and came up short in a 72-63 loss.

If there was a weakness for the Ducks last year, it was without a doubt, the offensive line. As difficult as it is to say, the line play is the reason we lost the Arizona game, and almost lost against Washington State. But when we got healthy, we were once again the usual explosive offense us Duck fans were used …
Phase 1 of the Eagles’ next step is done: Chip Kelly has assembled his complete coaching and front office staff. Many have complained of “Oregon Bias” (especially in Kelly’s player selections) or “New Hampshire Bias” (with his recent choice of Ryan Day — Kelly’s first great QB — as the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach).
