Amidst all the x and o analysis flying back and forth over the National Championship Game on Monday, it’s easy to forget that some of these players weren’t even starters when the season began. Despite the frenzy of speculation over responding to the up-tempo offense, defending the deep ball or stopping the run, one of the most important factors both …
Just when you thought the awards might be over, they keep coming. The Associated Press announced its All Bowl Team, as reported yesterday by 247sports.com. And as expected, Marcus Mariota was selected as the most valuable bowl season quarterback. To go along with Mariota, Troy Hill was selected as one of two cornerbacks, further helping to represent the University of Oregon. You might say that this …
Behold the view from the outside of the newly renovated University of Oregon Student Recreation Center. Quite a site if you ask me… This week has been huge for Oregon fans everywhere, but it may have been even bigger for students. YES, we destroyed FSU in the Rose Bowl and are now moving on to the National Championship in Dallas, but that …
Did it start in 2012 when the Ohio State Buckeyes robbed the Oregon Ducks of highly touted all-purpose back Dontre Wilson right under their noses? Or did it begin before that when Ohio State out-recruited Oregon for top high school prospects? Either way, the 2015 recruiting class will not be different, with the Buckeyes winning this contest by a large margin …
I can’t hate Ohio State University. I’ll admit, it was pretty easy with FSU — they gave Oregon fans, and college football in general, plenty of ammunition over the course of the 2014 season, but Ohio State? – naw. The Buckeyes are a team who have faced similar adversity to the Ducks. Key injuries, early season loss, Heisman contender, and …
The amazing thing about sports is that it brings people together. Sometimes it provides a form of escapism, and other times it serves as a form of relaxation. Eventually, however, a special player comes a long and captivates the audience unlike any other player before. Oregon football fans have had a unique experience the last three years. Not only have …
Sorry Duck fans, its not what you think. Today the College Football Playoff announced they will offer travel assistance to the families of players for both Oregon and Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Championship Game. Duck fans, you’re still on your own to get to Dallas. For families of players, up to two parents or legal guardians can …
Ask any football analyst and they will tell you the difference between a good team and a championship team is timing. A great team that peaks too early can wind up crumbling while a mediocre team that peaks at the right time can win a championship. Oregon however is something very rare, a great team that is peaking at the …
Though he doesn’t plan to slow down for anyone, Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost isn’t counting on the quack attack’s trademark tempo taking Ohio State by surprise. The Oregon offense is used to sending defenses reeling with its patented barrage of quick and deadly play calls, a strategy which can rapidly put a poorly conditioned defense back on its heels with hands on hips …
It is a Crab Attack! He is outside the Rose Bowl…destroying things….looking for Jameis Winston! You have to admit….you didn’t see that one coming! Our thanks to Glenn Hanna for his skills again…so we all get a laugh. Glenn only makes winners! To put it in your Facebook as a video–the link is here. See more in the GIF section–go …
“The mind,” Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer once famously quipped, “is a fragile thing.” I was thinking of that Meyer quote the other day as I watched the post-Sugar Bowl press conference. Specifically when the Buckeyes coach reacted to the news the Oregon Ducks had thoroughly cleaned Florida State’s clock earlier that same day in the Rose Bowl. A …
It was winter break. I walked into the local PacSun, a clothing store in San Francisco‘s biggest mall. I donned a bright yellow “O” on my shirt, and while shopping in the back a girl pulled me over and asked me if I went to Oregon. I replied yes, and she told me how her best friend went there and …
