It has been nearly five years since the Oregon Ducks basketball team was last ranked in the AP top-25. Not since the days of Ernie Kent, Marty Leunen and Malik Hairston have the Ducks been deemed good enough to be considered one of the country's top teams. There have been a few bright spots in the abysmal five-year stretch, but an overall record of 87-81 (38-52) and a football program that has been flourishing over that same period has made basketball an afterthought in Eugene. It's time to start paying attention to the Ducks' basketball team again. The Ducks are off to a 5-1 start and are coming off a very successful appearance in the Global Sports Classic in Las Vegas this past weekend. The Ducks were able to take on two ranked teams during the tournament, upsetting #18 UNLV on Friday night before falling to #22 Cincinnati on Saturday. The good showing in Vegas confirmed what those who had been following the Ducks season thus far already suspected; th...

Oregon Ducks flying high early in the season

Climbing the Pac? Sitting at 5-1 on the season as of Tuesday afternoon, the Oregon Ducks have surprised many pundits and fans coming out of the gates. Currently sitting fourth in the PAC-12 standings, the Ducks, who during the preseason were predicted by many (including myself) to sit in the bottom half of the division standings and hold a NIT ticket are making a push for the Big...

To Be A Real Fan Or To Be A Duck Fan, That Is The Question

Via Oregon Sports News  |  November 28, 2012
It’s time for another column to be written. I take a sip of my Gatorade. I remember my trainer telling me not to drink it unless I’m working out. I glance down and realize what I’m wearing: an Oregon Ducks sweatshirt. I’m still psyched about the outcome, as all of us “fans” are.   The Oregon Ducks ran up, over, and around the Oregon State Beavers in the latest...

Duck And Run Oregon, The SEC Is The Only One Who Can Afford To Be Hit

That’s it.  As slowly as it comes, it quickly goes away.  For all intensive purposes the 2012 college football regular season is behind us.  Sure, Oregon State has a glorified scrimmage against an also-ran Nicholls State team Saturday and the various BCS conferences are playing their league championship games as well, but the National Title Game has been decided and we’re...

Oregon Ducks 2012 football season rewind

One to Go The Oregon Ducks didn’t get to where they hoped they would be at the end of the season but came awfully close to doing so. Had Zach Ertz‘s controversial touchdown towards the end of regulation been upheld as an incomplete pass (as many officials have come to believe), the Ducks would be priming themselves for yet another Pac-12 Championship game and a likely date with...

Arguing on behalf of the Oregon Ducks

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  November 28, 2012
Forget the SEC Before we start, let’s get something clear: the Oregon Ducks will not be going to the BCS National Championship this season. While they may be one of the top college football teams this season, they sit behind No. 1 Notre Dame (12-0), No. 2 Alabama (11-1), No. 3 Georgia (11-1), and No. 4 Florida (11-1) with no more games left to play and no chance of moving into...
