OREGON DUCKS, #1 COLLEGE FOOTBALL, BUT . . . ?

November 10, 2024 by Leave a Comment

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?

OREGON DUCKS FOOTBALL THIS YEAR, NOT NEXT

October 13, 2024 by

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?

OREGON SPORTS ILLUSTRATED COVERS AND MORE

January 20, 2024 by

Oregon sports didn’t begin with Steve Prefontaine, but he was the first Oregonian on the cover of Sports Illustrated. At least that’s what the smart-guy talent online say. Sports Illustrated and I were born the same year. With the end of the magazine this week everyone is sad. I’m sad even though my subscription lapsed […]

November 29, 2023 by

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.

LOSE BETTER FOR THE NEXT WIN

November 13, 2022 by

“Lose better” Oregon Ducks and Blazers. At least don’t lose on the same day. In the same time window. One is enough, and if I had to pick one loser on Saturday it would have been ‘your Portland Trail Blazers.’ This is where I start crying about the Ducks. Again. Waaaaaa.

Five Miles From Tigard Equals Yellowstone?

August 18, 2018 by

  Looked for wildlife far and wide from Idaho to Wyoming to Montana and Washington.   Then I looked near Tigard in the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge five miles from home in Oregon.   There was more wildlife in one place than there was in four states.   Go Tigard, Go.

Wild Life And Life In The Wild Not The Same

July 22, 2018 by

  Wild life is what you might see on a safari, or a drive from Portland to Bend. Or your front yard if you live in the woods where deer come to the door.   Living a wild life is not the same. Living wild takes so much energy. Being wild is a tiring option […]

BIRD WHISPERER OF TUALATIN NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

November 27, 2017 by

Try and count the times you’ve learned something new only to find it something as old as time. And you didn’t learn anything new at all except for being wrong about what you thought you knew. Like birds.   A bird whisperer visited the wildlife sanctuary just past the junkyard on Highway 99 before Sherwood […]
