This isn't so much a college issue, but I have a microphone, and you don't. So you will listen to every damn word I have to say! I realize that this may seem idealist, but every movement starts with ideas. Help me spread them. After all, what have we got to lose? Obviously...

With all the talk about hoops, lets not forget about football. Here are some links if you haven't read tehm already: It looks like Pryor won't be visiting, and probably won't be coming. I've stated my opinion on this in the past: I don't really care, just end...

What a frustrating game. A ten point lead at halftime, and absolutely no reason to lose this game. But in the second half we were outcoached--woefully. This game was a mirror of the season. In no game have we failed to compete. We have had the athletes and the talent to win ev...

There is no Duck news of note, so lets talk other Pac-10 news. OSU specifically. It looks like the Beavers have hired Brown coach Craig Robinson for their mens basketball opening. Robinson might be best known for being Barack Obama's brother in law. He's been a head coach for ...

Well, for the first time in a while, there is a ton of actual football news. So let's jump in to it. Football News: I'll start out with the bad. Derrick Jones wasn't there, and isn't enrolled in Spring Term. This should not come as a surprise, but I am quite disappointed. Th...

Woo! What a win we had on Thursday. That was a must win game, and winning has several implications: It puts us at 17-12 overall, but more importantly, at 8-9 in the Pac-10. Win tonight, and we move to 9-9 on the conference season while sweeping Arizona and putting them at 8-10, mean...

I'm really not quite sure what to say. The game tonight is beyond words. That was not the Oregon Ducks that lost to Arizona. That was something unrecognizable. We came into this season as deep as any team in the nation at the skill positions. Yet, somehow, the injuries k...

First off, I want to apologize for the sparse coverage as of late. As my regular readers know, I coach high school basketball. My primary responsibility is as head coach of the JVII team. Our practice slot is from 7:30 to 9:30 PM, meaning most Thursday games are difficult for me to ...

I realize that I haven't posted a lot lately, for reasons that I have already explained. However, I wanted to take the time to express some thoughts on basketball season. In all fairness, I have watched fewer than half of the conference games this season. Its not that I don't care--...

I guess I should announce that I am back at the blog full time, and will be posting every day. Sadly, our basketball season ended with a close playoff loss this week. We played well, but just couldn't close it out in the end. Its sad that our season is over. However, the 20-25 &nbs...

I just want to apologize again for the lack of content lately. It has not been my intent to ignore the site. And, no, its not because I don't care about basketball. Its a matter of coaching my own team/having a new baby/buying a house/work. Essentially, real life has gotten in...

I've now had a day to think about the Sun Bowl and I still lie in shock. Not that Oregon won the game--as I said, win the turnover battle, and we have a great chance of winning. But I was surprised at how thoroughly the Ducks dominated South Florida in every facet of the game. Stati...

We all know the story by now. South Florida, like Oregon, was ranked #2 in the country at one point. Like Oregon, they fell from grace soon thereafter with a thereafter with a three game losing streak. Unlike Oregon, those losses weren't due to injuries, they were due to being able ...

Here is some video of our only in-state recruit. Scott is projected as a DB. A lot of these clips show him at RB, but you can see explosiveness that could make him valuable as a kick returner. Has a few really nice interceptions in here as well, though. Enjoy Tigard's finest. GO DU...

Bill Bellamy has a good piece on Kilkenny's first year in today's R-G. It includes the recent news that the $100 million Knight gift has an expiration date of June 1 if state-backed bonds are not secured for the arena project. Needless to say, this would be disastrous if the...
