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.

If the 2022 recruiting cycle was your oven, consider the present day to be the pre-heat setting. In fact, with roughly a year and a half to go before 2022 prospects can officially sign a letter of intent with the program of their choice, labeling this as the pre-heat stage may even be a tad […]
It’s been practically two full months since the 2019 season ended for the Oregon Ducks; a season that will be long remembered as a year of resurgence for the Oregon football program.

In what was billed as arguably the biggest remaining game on their schedule, the 7th-ranked Oregon Ducks delivered hands down their biggest statement win of the season.
