It’s hard to imagine that only a few, short weeks ago, the Oregon men’s basketball team was ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press. The wheels have nearly come off the cart, with four straight losses, two of which occurred in the confines of Mac Court. Without a strong injection of intensity, both offensively and defensively, the hopes of an NCAA bid will be replaced with the lackluster ...

Playing off any possibility of missing the upcoming Super Bowl in two weeks, Tom Brady mentioned that playoff games tend to knick you up and such, but that there is no way he'll be missing the game. It seems Mr Brady was spotted sporting a walking cast by TMZ.com while out on the town. Obviously, a cast does not mean "it's no big deal." At the same time ...

After the most topsy turvy college football season in a long time, if not ever, we come to the pinnacle of the NFL season, and it all seems so bland. Maybe it's just because I am a west coast guy and no one from my side of the continent is representing. Maybe it's the fact, that for some reason, I have grown "un-fond" of the Patriots since Drew ...

While it was exciting to watch Jonathan Stewart’s exceptional performance against South Florida in the Sun Bowl, it certainly was a bad omen for Duck fans seeking his return for a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidacy. It could not have been scripted any better, as he breached his best single-game yardage total while dismantling a strong defense fielded by the Bulls. Perhaps it was destiny, or his strong faith, ...

The season just ended for my Cowboys as the Giants and Eli Manning shut down what had started out as a spectacular season. As I closed the lid of my laptop last night, disgusted by the score on the ESPN.com live cast scoreboard, I started thinking. The last few weeks have been dismal for the Boys and there are certain factors that may or may not have played ...

To the casual observer, the Oregon football team’s dominating win over South Florida was the result of an excellent rushing game (Career-high 253 yards by Jonathon Stewart) and consistent, virtually error-free play at quarterback. The offense had been the question mark since Dennis Dixon went down with a season ending knee injury in mid-November.  Just as important, however, was the aggressive play and resulting tone set by the ...

Not a lot to be said here, the video speaks for itself. A new world record was set last night, New Years Eve, by Robbie Maddison. 322 feet and 7.5 inches. Thats a football field - goal line to goal line. This jump obviously brings thoughts of the king dare devil, Evel Knievel. Like many things in sports history it is hard to draw conclusions with past and present ...

So I guess I am a little outdated. I don't subscribe to cable. With 4 kids and plenty of more productive activities to consume our time, my wife and I decided long ago that we would do without. The few channes we get over the air, DVD's and a dash of internet video keeps us more than satisfied... except for one area. It used to be that college and ...

With the departure of Aaron Brooks, the biggest question facing the Oregon basketball team entering the Pac-10 season was who would be the clutch performer down the stretch. A unique mix of talent and diversity will form a committee approach that should keep opposing defenses guessing. Seniors Malik Hairston, Maarty Leunen and Bryce Taylor have all shown the ability to score from all corners of the court. Where ...

Just more than one month removed from the Oregon-Arizona football game in Tucson and I still hear grumblings over Mike Belotti's decision to start Dennis Dixon with a torn ACL. The divisive subject seems to carry little middle ground, with one side exhalting Dixon for courage and competitiveness and the other critiquing the coach for the selfish pursuit of a national championship at any cost. In my opinion, a few ...
