It’s over. St. Patrick’s Day, that is. You can put away the green beer now, Corvallis and Seattle. Before it gets any worse. We know what you were up to. We saw you. Our crack photographers, hired just for the occasion, spent a solid 12 hours Saturday documenting the Secret Lives of Beavers and Huskies. We now know you wear …

Not only is it easy being green, it’s downright refreshing! First a little history: St. Patrick was born in 367 in the town of …

The Ducks were playing post-season March basketball again, and were coming off of just the second stretch of back to back 20+ win seasons in school history. While the record may not look …
Duck Fans, This week I had the distinct honor of sitting down with one of the real brick layers of the Oregon Duck Football program, Mr. Anthony Q. Newman.
