The recent gloomy weather sums up Coach Horton’s mood surrounding the Oregon Ducks. Frustration mounts, both in the dugout and the clubhouse.

Ben Salaman FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Oregon football is known for coming out on top of the Pac-12 at the end of each season. They finished their 2014 run winning the conference championship, the Ducks did the same in their 2011 season, and in their 2010 season when the conference was originally called the Pac-10.

Oregon Baseball World Series Bound?

Yet Oregon brought in four JC transfers that are starting against the Hawaii Warriors primarily because of their batting?  This was a bit much to digest after all …
