November 14, 2024 by David Gillaspie

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 […]

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 […]

WINNING NOW: PHIL KNIGHT vs JERRY JONES

January 16, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Winning now, right now, is more important the older you get. It’s like that when you have more seasons behind you than you do ahead. Phil Knight is eighty-five; Jerry Jones is eighty-one. Would it be too much to ask that they go out winners? First for the Ducks:

DUCK BREATH FROM HURRICANE TO PAC12 SIGH

December 2, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Duck breath is the same as Husky breath. If the Huskies had lost. Duck breath is a long exhale of joyful expectations and maybe a little spit. That’s what happens when a big one gets away, and the final PAC12, PAC10, PAC8 game was a big one.

GAME CONTROL: FROM COLLEGE FOOTBALL TO EVERYDAY WIN

November 29, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Game Control? That’s what you need to focus on when you’re doing good. But not good enough. Because, you know, winning the day isn’t enough. You have to control the game. What do I say? Good luck with that.

OREGON DUCK FOOTBALL WIN OPENS FLOODGATES OF HOPE

November 25, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Oregon Duck football is to sports fans what hot sauce is to a taco. A favorite food-stuff is easily ruined by the wrong sauce. But the right sauce brings glory and memories flooding out like the Columbia River pouring through a Bonneville dam turbine.

WEST COAST WIPEOUT FOR PAC-12?

September 3, 2023 by David Gillaspie

The west coast finally achieved what the smart sports guys from the eastern time zone have said for years: The Pac-12 is a minor league athletic conference. They always blamed the three hour time difference for media neglect. Was it ever all about the clock? Now time has run out. What happened? No respect, that’s […]
