Haloti Ngata entered Oregon in 2002 as the most prolific defensive player in the history of the school, tasked with taking the program to the next level as the next generation of Oregon athletes following in the wake of the unprecedented success of the Joey Harrington-era. By the time he left in 2005, following his junior year (which included a …

Top 10 Duck off-season story lines
Free association, anyone? I study a news photo Friday of caged ducks being sputtered off to market in Vietnam (a sad sight if there ever was one); from there, I jump to recalling where some Duck football players ended up in past off-seasons (I know, my bad); which, in turn, has me pondering news about the team since its Jan. …

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 …
