After two nights full of bunts, stolen bases, and walks, Oregon’s offense shredded the Hawai’i pitching staff to win game three of the opening series, 9-5. The Ducks had a season high 16 hits, a nice change of pace from the usual low scoring affairs Oregon (3-0) is accustomed to producing. Hawai’i (0-3) was showing signs of improvement agains the …
There’s nothing like an early season nail biter as Oregon’s pitching staff came through with some big outs late in the game against a pesky Hawai’i squad to win 5-4. After a low scoring affair to start the season, both Oregon (2-0) and Hawai’i (0-2) saw a little more offensive production in game two of their opening series. Hawai’i’s starter …
Behind by three points and the clock winding down in overtime, WSU’s Royce Woolridge wanted the ball. As he dribbled toward the 3-point line from half court, the sophomore guard fired up his 36th point of the night on a long three with under 10 seconds remaining that tied No. 23 Oregon, 77-77. The Ducks didn’t hesitate and moved quickly …
As the days drag endlessly by, awaiting the arrival of spring ball, the time for reflection has arrived for Oregon football fans. Gone to Philadelphia is Charles Kelly, the man most often credited with taking the Ducks to the next level in the eyes of college football pundits. He left a blistering 46-7 record, three straight conference championships and a brazen, we-can’t-be-beaten attitude. That …
Recruiting is over and college football down time has begun…unless you are Nick Saban. He gets to spend the next couple of weeks going over police reports and seeing if he can still keep these players on the Alabama payroll for another season. I hope he takes a stand and kicks them off the team…he does oversign…so it’s not like he …
I just finished my yearly wrangling of the tax code through my friends at Turbo Tax. Though TT is quite good at finding the more obvious deductions, I had to coax it along to find actual tax breaks that are a little more…obscure. Posing Oil: (Tax Code Summary 2004-117) As you can probably tell from my profile picture, I’m cut …
I have been picking up on some interesting signs lately in regards to the Ducks, Mark Helfrich, and how the next era of Oregon offense could potentially go. Now, I am definitely not psychic; if I was I would have won the lottery by now and I would be paying somebody to write this for me. Or maybe I would …
If there were any concerns about having Jake Reed at the top of the rotation, they were put to rest quickly as the sophomore ace was nearly flawless in the Ducks’ season opening 3-0 victory in Hawai’i. Reed (1-0) pitched six shutout innings, striking out seven batters, while only allowing four hits, opening a new season with a fantastic performance, …
With Signing Day come and gone, and the Spring Game still two months away, we’ve now reached the one of the quietest periods of the sports year: six weeks of post-Super Bowl, pre-March Madness doldrums. While the Ducks’ basketball teams are in full swing, those games are only a couple of hours per week; besides, college basketball makes no bones …
This continues a new Friday series: the OREGON UNKNOWNS, where we look at interesting aspects about our beloved Ducks that few fans know about. In the 1980 season, Oregon notched victories against each of the other three Northwest schools: Oregon State, Washington, and Washington State. The Northwest sweep stood out in particular that season, marking the first time the Ducks …
SEATTLE – When Oregon’s E.J. Singler hit a fade-away, falling out of bounds three-pointer to complete a quick 7-0 run to open the game Wednesday night at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, the Ducks sent a strong message to the Washington players and the Seattle crowd. Oregon was back — back to playing the kind of basketball that has pretty much been …
We all remember what happened back in September of 2009. In perhaps the worst start to a season (and a new era under head coach Chip Kelly) imaginable, the Ducks’ nationally renowned offense was held to 152 total yards in a 19-8 loss to Boise State. Things only got worse after the game, when stud running back LeGarrette Blount answered …
