OREGON VOTER REMORSE HISTORY

November 2, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Regrets? Oregon voter has had a few. American elections seem to have the same choices: Bad and Worse. Pick one and you wish you’d picked the other. Like early pioneers’ choice of floating the Columbia River rapids, or traversing the Barlow Road, once you take one you wish you were on the other. The 2016 […]

OREGON DUCK MAKES HISTORY TEAM

June 7, 2015 by David Gillaspie

Oregon, Oregon Duck Marcus Mariota, And The Oregon Historical Society. A lesser Portland writer might ask why Nike paid three days of admission at the Oregon Historical Society. Not this one. Everybody who walk in the door? Free. Thank you, Nike. A lesser Portland blogger might ask why Oregon? Why not Portland State? Why not […]

OREGON’S HOCKEY HISTORY

February 15, 2014 by David Gillaspie

When you play the game, play to win. Every business, institution, and individual have one thing in common: If you’ve heard of them, they’re doing something right. They matter. To what degree they matter is the next question, which often depends on branding. Consider sports branding as a current model for success. Not everyone understands, or enjoys, a rabid […]

SUNDAY WRESTLING DRIVE TO OREGON STATE

November 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

I took a Sunday wrestling drive to Corvallis for a match. But it’s always more than a wrestling match at Oregon State. It always turns into a question of decisions made and paths taken. While it’s always a fun time, this time stood out.

OREGON LOCATION FINALLY REVEALED

November 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The Oregon location is where it’s always been, somewhere between Seattle and San Francisco. That’s what I got from talking to foreigners in their own country. No idea of Oregon, Washington, or Portland. But Seattle? Yes. California? Yes. Why does Oregon get the same confused reaction from sports analysts?

OREGON DREAM SEASON CONTINUES @ #1

The Oregon dream season at #1 in the nation continues. In what was called an introductory season in the Big 10, with low expectations playing against the traditional powerhouses of college football, has turned into a dream season. The other teams in the conference know the drill. Oregon would have to work their way in […]

The Oregon Ducks show no signs of slowing down. They’re not migrating, not flying south for the winter, not going anywhere. No problems in Duck-land?

LONG WAY TO THE TOP FOR OREGON DUCKS

October 19, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The long way to the top started with Ohio State where the Oregon put one duck foot in front of another until the end. It wasn’t the usual end for games like this. Ohio State had it wrapped up and ready for delivery with ten seconds to go, then six seconds. One thing led to […]

DIFFERENCE MAKER FOR OREGON FOOTBALL, PT.2

October 15, 2024 by David Gillaspie

A difference maker is a game changer on the football field. They run faster, throw further, hit harder. It all shows up in video review. “Look at him go.” But what if it’s not a player, but a coach?

Oregon Ducks football roster includes ninety-nine players, thirty-five transferring in from other schools. They came to Saturday ranked #3, one spot below their opponent. They woke up Sunday with a one point win over #2 Ohio State. And as the new #2. How sweet is that team?
