Few things in recent memory were as protractedly loathsome across the board as 2020. And while the residuals of the past year linger to this day with COVID protocols remaining in place for most areas of the country, this spring offers a level of hope and optimism that simply did not exist at this time […]
As Oregonians know so well, sometimes when it rains, it pours. That’s the general feeling in Eugene these days, as the Ducks – still licking their wounds from a crushing loss at Oregon State this past Friday – were dealt another dose of souring news Monday when Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star wide receiver […]
Since Mario Cristobal was elevated to head coach at the conclusion of the 2017 season, there hasn’t been much for Duck fans to gripe about, particularly for those who closely follow the year-round recruiting intrigue. However, if there has been one nit to pick, it would be the fact that Oregon hasn’t quite figured out […]
Occupying a very small corner within one of the wildest years in modern human history has been a college football offseason and now season that has appropriately reflected our current day and age.

A Pac-12 Championship. A Rose Bowl victory. A second consecutive star-studded recruiting class signed, sealed, and all but delivered. Those types of accomplishments […]
It’s official: We’ve formally reached the “Please don’t screw this up” portion of the Oregon football schedule. Roughly three months ago, that would have seemed like a borderline preposterous thing to say, especially considering the growing momentum Arizona State had seemingly been gaining under the direction of head coach Herm Edwards the year before.

Some guys have all the luck, and some, like Oregon true freshman wide receiver Mycah Pittman, can’t seem to buy a lucky bounce.
