Remember a time where you were the new person and everything around you was different and you felt almost completely lost? Take high school for example. That very first day of school, you arrive on a way bigger campus then middle school, there’s a lot more people, and you have no idea where your first class is located. You’re utterly lost. …
Oregon’s offense boils down to a series of constraint plays.

Last week has been full of news; unfortunately it has been off field; I am glad to report that the suspect for the Auburn Shooting has turned himself in and they can start to put that case to rest. Also, the Sandusky trial has begun. I feel bad for Penn State players and fans, because this trial will drag …

Father’s Day got me to thinking about who would be considered the “Father” of some of the sporting traditions that we hold dear. …

Oregon’s baseball team fell just short of making it to the 2012 College World Series this week, a win against Kent State on Monday would have earned Oregon its first trip to the College World Series since 1954. Unfortunate that Oregon couldn’t advance as it may be, it still is a remarkable feat to host a Super Regional in just …

The 6’4, now 309 lb. Vanderdoes put opposing lineman on roller skates, blowing through, past, (insert many adjectives here), opposing linemen in a series a drills held inside Autzen Stadium.
