THE OREGON WAY OF OREGON DUCK FOOTBALL FANS

December 31, 2015 by

The right Oregon Duck football uniform makes all the difference. The experienced Oregon fan knows the drill by now. It’s not the first post-season, but one that matters more. Someone else plays for the national championship, or the semi-finals to get in. Oregon football made the run last years, right up to the end. This […]

A NEW WORLD OF SPORTS

October 14, 2015 by

The New World Of Sports Forgot This? The world of sports turns at the same speed for everyone, though the Oregon Duck football season seems to spin faster than other seasons. And it should. You get that in a sport with fewer games, greater risk, and rabid enthusiasm than other sports. It goes even further. […]

STEPPING ON YOUR DUCK FOOTBALL?

September 29, 2015 by

Oregon Football Stepped On Their Duck. Now What? Watching the Ducks fly south at Autzen was a shocker that’s settling in slowly. That it was the worst defeat since the 1977 season was an unwanted reminder of dark Duck days. As a UofO student in 1977 high scores for the other team didn’t feel as […]

OREGON DUCK MAKES HISTORY TEAM

June 7, 2015 by

Oregon, Oregon Duck Marcus Mariota, And The Oregon Historical Society. A lesser Portland writer might ask why Nike paid three days of admission at the Oregon Historical Society. Not this one. Everybody who walk in the door? Free. Thank you, Nike. A lesser Portland blogger might ask why Oregon? Why not Portland State? Why not […]

THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL AND CARDALE

January 14, 2015 by

The Oregon v Ohio St. Title Game. Hidden agendas make the best conspiracies. That’s where things get dirty. College football is no exception. The good news is the first College Football Playoff Championship looked as clean as big time college football will ever get. There’s still plenty of suspicion.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS DONE RIGHT IN OREGON

December 9, 2014 by

Originally posted on Oregon Sports News. The College Football Playoffs’ final four works out for Oregon as long as the past stays in the closet. They lost to the SEC before, Auburn and LSU in a short 2011 time frame? Lock that door. Lost to Ohio State in the 2010 Rose Bowl? Nail it shut. […]

THROUGH AN OREGON DUCK’S EYE

November 12, 2014 by

The top this year is the 1-4 ranking for the first scheduled College Football Playoffs. No matter what else you’ve got going, a winning team makes it […]

4 REASONS THE NEED FOR SPEED IS WRONG, RIGHT?

February 19, 2014 by

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 […]

Marcus, THE MARCUS, Blazers, and Ducks

December 20, 2013 by

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

December 10, 2013 by

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 […]
