Duck fans, Iām certain you were all as excited as I was when OSU took down Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. I mean, just the prospect of playing a third-string QB in a National Championship game is enough for some to already start ordering Ducks Championship T-shirts. But for now, we need to pump the brakes. Although yes, the Ducks ā¦
So, it was announced a few weeks ago that Oregon chose to go with the all green uniforms for the Rose Bowl, since the threeĀ other teams in the College Football Playoff all shared red as a common color. Most people expected Oregon to go with some mix of green and yellow forĀ its uniforms inĀ the National Championship against Ohio State next ā¦
Many people liked to talk aboutĀ Chip KellyĀ by describing him as very cold and dry. Many would compare him toĀ Bill Belichick,Ā with hisĀ often short, to-the-point answers and dry wit. On top of this Kelly is known for being very businesslike in his management of his football program, maybe even somewhat aloof at times. And even though they were winning, it seems there ā¦
Under the old system, this game doesnāt even happen. The BCS would have assembled a final of Alabama and Florida State, the current participants in a hypothetical bronze medal game (Wait, why isnāt there a third-place game?) instead of the finalists of Oregon and Ohio State. The Buckeyes donāt get in either under the old system, and the 2010 Rose ā¦
Mike Merrellās Three-and-Out The 101st Rose Bowl was in the books. Most of the press had not yet made it to the room for the post-game conferences, so I greedily claimed a front-row seat, wanting to be as close as possible to those whom I viewed as the biggest villains in college football: Jimbo Fisher and Jameis Winston. I couldnāt ā¦
If youāre like me, youāre still talking and smiling about the Rose Bowl. Oregonās domination resulted in a 59-20 win, accumulating 10 Rose Bowl records in the process.

Meyer has studied the football philosophies of offensive guru and former ā¦
Four years ago, we as Oregon fans experienced both our proudest moment and our most heartbreaking: a national championship lost on the last play of the game. At the time, as much as we wanted our beloved Ducks to break through against Auburn and win the title, it was still hard to even believe theĀ amazing heights to which the Ducks ā¦
Coming into the season, no one knew how our beloved Ducksā basketball program would perform. Many questions, with no answers. To be fair, the Ducks have played their hearts out with the talent that theyāve procured for the season, and their success is unquestionable with their dominant record. Coach Dana Altman has once again taken a difficult situation for the ā¦

Oh how the mighty have fallen. West Coast football fans haveĀ been saying it for years, but finally the SEC took an undeniable turn and it wasnāt in an upward direction. The storied āpowerhouseā conference saw itās least successful bowl season in years among ranked teams, of which it led the nation with seven. When the final bowl game with a ā¦
It was the opening kickoff of the Rose Bowl. Redshirt freshman track star and Oregon quarterback Marcus MariotaāsĀ go-toĀ receiver Devon Allen returned the kickoff. After a tackle, Allen instantly grabbed his knee and limped off the field. He neverĀ returned to the game. It was a sad moment for the USATF champion track star, his teammates, and Duck fans. Enter redshirt freshman ā¦
