The No. 24 Oregon Ducks softball team unleashed a scoring downpour this weekend in sunny San Diego, racking up 42 runs in a five-game sweep at the 32nd Cartier/Campbell Classic at SDSU Softball Stadium. The Ducks (8-2) closed out back-to-back doubleheader wins on Friday and Saturday with a 12-5 rout of UC Riverside on Sunday morning to give Oregon its …
Oregon had a strong one-two punch this last year in its two main running backs, Bucky Irving and Noah Whittington. Both had their moments and regularly generated explosive plays. Oregon also rotated in Jordan James and Sean Dollars at times, though in more limited roles. Dollars has since left the program and James will continue to grow as Oregon’s big-back …
Since the hiring of Coach Will Stein as the new Oregon Ducks offensive coordinator, it has been pretty well established that he has built a large portion of his offense around RPO concepts. And we’ve kind of taken a basic surface-level look at a couple of different RPOs. Now let’s go just a little bit deeper and dig into a …
All the changes to college football with the portal, NIL, conference realignment and media rights have created discussions we never dreamed of having as Oregon fans even five years ago. The change has been so rapid as to easily surpass our patience with much of it, and yet when you have movement one direction–there are equal repercussions in other directions, …
Like a lot of Oregon fans, I was surprised when I heard the news that Brock Thomas, a quarterback from Eugene’s Sheldon High School, committed to the Ducks as a preferred walk-on. After all, Thomas was not only not recruited by any of the “big-boy” programs, he was not offered a scholarship from any Power Five school. His list of …
It is my contention that the players in all sports at the LA schools have not truly thought through the movement to the B1G. Note I stated it is the actual players, not the fans or administrators who will regret the move eventually, although I have not heard of many UCLA fans who are in favor of leaving the Pac-12. …
Our Oregon Ducks football program has had some all-time great scorers in the past. Now, with offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham out, we can expect the offense to look a bit different in 2023 with a new touchdown king potentially taking the throne. Of course, this excludes passing touchdowns, but does not exclude quarterbacks. Bo Nix was in fact the touchdown leader in 2022 …
As popular as traditional team sports, athletics and racing remain, people all over the world are getting involved in competitive gaming. We now live in a digital age, and, like it or not, screens play an important role in how we work and how we play. Gaming itself has undergone a huge transformation in recent years – modern games are …
Kenny Dillingham did wonders for the Oregon offense in 2022. He helped resurrect Bo Nix’s career by developing him into a top-10 quarterback, he reintroduced a high-flying, explosive offense that fans had been desperately craving, and perhaps most importantly, his influence helped Oregon reclaim its identity as an offensive juggernaut. Dillingham is deservedly now running his own program, and that …
We haven’t seen an official announcement or media introduction yet, but it appears that Dan Lanning has hired Chris Hampton to replace Matt Powledge, who left to become the DC at Baylor. Hampton’s twitter bio states that he is Oregon’s Co-Defensive Coordinator and Safeties coach, and there are tweets that show he is out on the recruiting trail, which is …
A huge part of Coach Will Stein’s offense with the UTSA Roadrunners was the RPO. Every team in college football runs them to some degree, but Coach Stein’s system is built around them. Though the Oregon Ducks offense will largely stay the same as this past season, fans can expect to see an uptick in the use of RPOs. Coach …
What is the NBA? The NBA is basketball at the highest level possible. The home of the game is the United States of America, and no matter how much it has spread around the world, no matter how popular it is, it’s still the strongest championship on the planet – in fact, the United States Open. The NBA is one …
