The Oregon men’s basketball team is currently in a dogfight for the PAC-12 title and, barring a total meltdown, will almost certainly reach the NCAA tournament in March. How far into the tournament can this team go? That same question was being asked in 1960. The 1958-1959 version of the Ducks basketball team had not fared well, finishing with a 9-16 record. The …
With the Pac-12 schedule released last week, analysts everywhere have broken down, in detail, how the schedule will impact the 12 teams in the future. While analysts break down how the schedule impacts each team on the field, I was curious about how the schedule shakes out for the Oregon fans. (If you haven’t seen it yet, go here.) Let’s take …
EUGENE, OR.- There’s no other way to put it, the Ducks are in big, big, BIG trouble. After such an impressive start to the season, the Ducks haven’t been able to carry their mojo into league play, as they are now 1-3 in the PAC-12 after their heart-breaking 82-80 loss to the Stanford Cardinal on Sunday afternoon. Just when …
What an amazing ending to the BCS. Every game was non-stop action and ended in epic fashion. The Championship game had an amazing start and a thrilling finish. With the BCS gone, we can now start the debate over the “Final Four” of college football. With the end of the season, we have National Signing Day on Feb. 5 to look …
Another football season has come and gone. Overall, it was another successful run for the Ducks, even if they did not meet their ultimate goals. Another 11-win season. Another win in a bowl game. Another top-ten ranking to wrap up the year. Mark Helfrich proved that he can handle the pressure of running a major college program, Marcus Mariota continued …

EUGENE, OR. – The Golden Bears came into Matt Knight Arena on Thursday night to take on the Ducks, in a battle that was initially thought to be somewhat of an easy win for Oregon. California had won 11 straight games against Oregon prior to Thursday night’s game, and Coach Altman was determined to do anything possible to ensure …
Leading up to the kickoff against Nicholls State, Duck fans were anxious to see what Oregon would look like under new coach Mark Helfrich. Chip Kelly had led the program to previously unprecedented heights, and had done so using a unique and distinctive approach. His trademark spread option attack put up staggering stats, and routinely churned out over 300 yards …
Chip Kelly’s first season in the NFL ended with a field goal – kicked by the New Orleans Saints as time expired in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. It was a rough ending to a great season, and very likely Michael Vick’s last game as an Eagle. No one is happy about the loss, close as it was, but …
Coaches don’t get gray hair in November, they get it in January. This is the time of year, while most think college football has gone cold and dark, that coaches everywhere are making a frenzied final push to sign the best class they possibly can. This includes ensuring their class doesn’t suffer any losses, which is tough considering the number …
Following a loss to the Colorado Buffaloes, Oregon men’s basketball is now 1-1 in the Pac-12 and, it would appear, their season is a complete loss. Wait a second . . . not so fast, my friend! Sure, everyone hates to see a good win streak ended, but we all need to remember, the basketball season is a marathon and …
Figure 1. The doctor is in. New research from Finland suggests that thousands of people who have arthroscopic knee surgery to fix a torn cartilage, might be wasting their time. A report on the Finnish Degenerative Meniscal Lesion Study (FIDELITY), published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, finds that the benefits of keyhole operations to repair degenerative meniscal …
