I have been looking over various media outlets’ predictions for who will make the upcoming 12-team College Football Playoff. Naturally, the first thing I do is check to see where the Ducks are placed; nothing new there. Then, my instincts are to check on how many Pac-12 teams have made the field. Oops. Of course, that’s where the new reality of …

One proposed rule change coming up for college football is reducing the team rosters down to 85-95, but there is no consensus on the set number at this time.

It was a delightful surprise in 2022, when OC Kenny Dillingham unveiled an old “I” formation with a tight end operating as a fullback. Oregon would use the additional blocker to the tight end side on the line-of-scrimmage to power many plays into key first downs or touchdowns. We have begun to see the tweaks that new OC Will Stein …
Our Oregon Ducks football program is currently favored (along with Notre Dame) to go undefeated through the regular season.

While this doesn’t necessarily …

Every college football team has their own bread-and-butter plays that are central and crucial to their offense. The Will Stein Oregon Offense has fascinated me because of how he is dedicated to a passing game that scores boatloads of points, but yet he is also absolutely committed to a powerful run game. I took some time out from my fun …
After a season to forget for the Trail Blazers, who finished bottom of the Western Conference, the look ahead to next season has begun in earnest. Portland’s finest ended the campaign with a 21-61 record with a .256 percentage and the season felt like it was over before it had really started. That means all the pressure is on the …
OK, let’s get it out of the way. Yes; his quirky, rambling, meandering and obscure commentary during basketball telecasts could be extremely frustrating — evoking reactions ranging from cute to cursing, endearing to eye-rolling, joy to “you’ve gotta be joking,” and from a sense of comradery to cursing. And, for some, simply anger. But, for many of us, doesn’t that …
Our Oregon Ducks football program lost some huge pieces of the team’s identity this past offseason, and it’s rare that you can say the team looks completely fine after losses at quarterback at WR1.
