Mike Merrell’s Three and Out Sport for sport, the University of Oregon is one of the most successful athletic schools in the country. Cross country and track & field national championships — or at worst, high top ten finishes — have become the norm. Championships in football, softball, baseball, women’s volleyball, men’s basketball and golf have been close enough to …
In what was a fairly even-set game, the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball team are coming home with a loss tonight against the Washington Huskies. Although there was a lot of back and forth throughout the night when it came to the lead, overall the Ducks were down. In the grand scheme of things, there were two different games played on that court …
Trevor Manuel, the Lansing Everett High School power forward, is 6’9″ and does it all. Perhaps the tallest member of the Oregon Ducks men’s basketball 2015 class, the 4-star recruit out of Michigan dunks, shoots three pointers, grabs rebounds, assists and has superb ball handling skills. Last night, Manuel posted a triple-double against Ottawa Hills, finishing with 42 points, 14 rebounds and 10 blocks. Our guy …
So… the season is over. The hype is over. The best season in the history of all seasons thus far ever is over. It’s all so over. BUT, my friends, don’t you worry your pretty little Oregon Duck selves… I started a little countdown and there is ONLY 229 days until the 2015 season starts!! Isn’t that great?! Countdown until the first …
While most Oregon fan have all but forgotten Bryan Bennett after he lost his job to Marcus Mariota, I have been following him at Southeastern Louisiana University (SELU). SELU, being the college I will attend in the near future, made it particularly interesting to me when Oregon’s QB transferred there. Ironically, while everyone is jumping on the “Mariota’s overrated” bandwagon, …
As a Ducks fan, I can’t stop fathoming at all the great times that happened this season. From beating Stanford to finally annihilating Arizona, this season will be remembered as one of the best years of the Oregon Football program. Unfortunately, all of us didn’t want all the hype that was occurring to suddenly end in a depressing fashion as …
Feature Writer Caleb Couturie will be spending the next six weeks breaking down the 2015 NFL Draft, with focus on Oregon’s Marcus Mariota. Marcus Mariota had a season of legend. His 2014 campaign, highlighted by a Rose Bowl win and Oregon’s first Heisman Trophy, the redshirt junior posted mind-shattering numbers: 4,454 yards passing/42 passing touchdowns/68% completion rate/15 rushing touchdowns/one receiving touchdown …
Aloha, Marcus — This is hard to put into words. Seriously, what you did for the Ducks’ football program, the University and the state of Oregon meant so much to so many that I’m going to go out on a limb and say that a lot of baby boys born this year will wind up with the name “Marcus.” First and …
Since former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly left Eugene for the head coaching position with the Philadelphia Eagles, more and more former Ducks have appeared on Kelly’s NFL active roster. And there is one special Duck that many would love to see play for Kelly: Oregon’s Heisman Trophy and Manning Award winning quarterback, Marcus Mariota. During a phone interview on Philly Sports Talk, legendary …
Toward the end of the college football season, a man with a very distinct voice and a ridiculous haircut is brought on the set of ESPN and asked to give his opinion on the pending NFL Draft. This man is named Mel Kiper Jr. and despite what people say about him, he is the one on T.V. giving his opinion on which college football …
Having to head to class the day after watching the almighty Ducks fall to the No. 4 team in the country was heartbreaking to say the least. To make matters more interesting for some Duck fans, Oregon lost two of its key players in DE Arik Armstead and Heisman QB Marcus Mariota to the NFL Draft. It’s been one eventful …
Though it hasn’t been confirmed by either university, several sources report that Oregon wide receiver Chance Allen will be transferring to the University of Houston. Allen, a 6’2″ redshirt sophomore, didn’t make a catch for the Ducks last season. A man claiming to be Allen’s uncle posted on Twitter that Allen would be transferring to the University of Houston to be closer …
