CAN AXON SPORTS TESTING HELP BOOMERS?

Athletes are different. How different is always the question. What happens after your favorite players leave their sport is the best view of how different they are. No one enjoys seeing their sports heroes fall back to earth. You watched them soar with the eagles, then watched as they tumble back to normal. And it’s […]

A CLASSIC OREGON DUCK EXPLOSION

Oregon vs Michigan State Had A Familiar Feel. Football has so many gut references it’s no wonder fans gorge like there’s no tomorrow on game days. A couple of the gut basics: Punch in the gut. When the offense runs through the defense on an important drive. Gut check? That’s what a team does after […]

OREGON DUCKS NEAR THE TOP: TIME TO FLY

By the end of each college football season it’s easy to say the last team standing was the clear pick. Choose Alabama early and it’s hard to go wrong. Florida State? They’re the returning national champ and the returning Heisman Trophy winner. And here comes Oregon. Around here we’ve expected the Ducks to go all […]

DEAR BOOMER, IT’S OKAY TO CHANGE TEAMS FOR CHIP KELLY

From Cowboys To Eagles It’s Okay To Change Football Teams. Other Teams Are Up To You. Off-season training works for players and fans. As a fourteen year old I met a few Dallas Cowboys with my brothers, my Dad, and my Granddad. We’ve all been Cowboy fans ever since, from the late Sixties until now. […]

THE CHIPPER THAT SLICES AND DICES

Fast track coaches do things differently. They take risks. Chip Kelly is one of those coaches. The former Oregon Duck head coach and current top man with the Philadelphia Eagle was trending recently for cutting DeSean Jackson, Eagle wide receiver. That’s either a fast track coaching move, or career killer. Who does that? This is […]

4 REASONS THE NEED FOR SPEED IS WRONG, RIGHT?

Don’t ask the Oregon Ducks. In the world of contact sports, big and fast is usually the bet to make when the other choices are small and fast, or big and slow. Size matters on the football field where coaches at the top college and professional teams count on their big fast guys to win games. Somehow […]

The End Of BCS BS And Oregon Duck Football

Saying goodbye to the Bowl Championship Series era of college football means saying hello to the reasons Oregon played Texas in the Alamo Bowl on 12/30/13. The troubling question is how did the 10-2 Ducks, #2 in the PAC12, end up playing the 8-4 Texas Longhorns who finished #3 in the Big 12? If you […]

What should LaMarcus Aldridge teach Marcus Mariota? The big names from a past NBA draft were Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge. Draft junkies said the Portland Trail Blazers whacked a home run, scored a touchdown, hit a hole in one, and every sports cliché the gang trots out. This time they didn’t say enough. From the team Portland turned out […]

Oregon Ducks Deep In The Heart Of Texas

The final year of the Bowl Championship Series won’t produce a real #1. How can it if Alabama isn’t playing? At least the SEC got in. Auburn’s a good substitute, same state and all, but they know they shouldn’t be there. War Eagle, or Tiger, or any other secret name, scored on a last second […]
