The season is over and we all can at least agree on one thing….Alabama is good! I don’t think anyone could have matched up with them in the title game this year. In other news, coach Chip Kelly is back at Oregon. He probably feels 2013 will be the year to end the streak of SEC national titles. 1. Did …
Fiesta Bowl Signals Big 2013 for DAT
With the release of the 2013 football schedule this week, Oregon fans were given the blueprint to the 2014 National championship game. Oregon’s tougher non-conference slate gives way to a manageable PAC-12 schedule, which features a big Thursday night showdown at Stanford in November. Looking at the schedule is fun and all, but it won’t determine where Oregon ends next season. …
Hobby Ideas For Chip Kelly
Well we dodged a bullet, friends. A week ago it looked like we were looking at the end of the Chip era of Oregon football. But he’s back.

Is Chip Equal To Christopher Nolan?
Chip Kelly and his innovative offense has certainly taken the football world by storm since his tenure began in 2009.

An Open Letter To Chip Kelly
Dear Coach Kelly, By now most Duck fans seem resigned to the notion of the Fiesta Bowl being your last game as Oregon’s coach. In the media and at the proverbial water cooler, your visor has long been packed for the National Football League. And that’s a compliment to all that you’ve accomplished here: taking our Ducks to four straight …
Chip Kelly: The Caesar of Football
At first blush, the comparison might seem odd. What do a football coach and a general/politician/dictator separated by over two thousand years have in common? How could a man who singlehandedly destroyed the republic of Rome have anything in common with a modern-day football coach? The answers might surprise you. Football is a form of simulated combat, so the metaphor …
Will The Chip Kelly Offense Revolutionize British Football?
The English South Division of the British American Football League (BAFL) is a “Smash Mouth” division if ever there was one.
