Matt Knight Madness was featured at Matthew Knight Arena last night, and if you missed it, you missed out! The #5 Womens volleyball team played the Washington State Cougars, and they were followed with appearances by the Oregon Mens and Womens basketball teams. The PAC-12 has traditionally featured some of the best volleyball teams in the nation, and this year …
Outside of the Stanford game last year, Oregon’s biggest statement game under Chip Kelly was probably against UCLA on a Thursday night in 2010. The Bruins opened the game with a long drive into Oregon territory, and then took a shot downfield only to find John Boyett waiting for the ball. The Oregon offense got the ball, and took over. …
“3 and Out” is a completely informal, marginally educated, and completely biased look at the most current highs and lows of the Oregon Ducks and their next opponent in a short and simple format that should be easy enough for even an OS(U) or UW grad to read! This week’s take: Halftime! Three Down: 1. Injuries “If Jimmy didn’t have a bum ankle, …
We have learned a lot of the Xs and Os in the past year about the Chip Kelly Offense, but something that is essential about a team is it’s philosophies and it’s internal moral code.

The time before a season starts for your favorite team can be magical. Everyone is 0-0 and nothing has been yet determined on the field, court, or arena. Optimism is boundless for many, in the hope that your team can play well in the upcoming season. Some will and some won’t, but that’s to be determined in the days and …
There are few pleasures in life that are as satisfying as Oregon’s perennial dog-pounding of Washington each fall over the last nine years. This last game was one of the most enjoyable because so many of the Husky faithful and their coach felt that enough Washington depth had been built to hang with us. As the truth became apparent in …

It’s a little off-the-cuff, perhaps slightly pretentious, somewhat rambling, and hopefully entertaining…so kick …
There’s just something about Washington week, nothing stews the hate juices in fans more than the annual battle with the Huskies as a precursor to the Civil War down the road, ya know, that OTHER rival. Former players mark it on their calendar as the one to return back to Eugene for, never satisfied with beating UW enough both in …
