WORTHY ENOUGH: OREGON DUCKS

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.

OREGON FOOTBALL SET TO BE A BETTER EXAMPLE NEXT YEAR

January 2, 2021 by

Oregon football takes the national stage today as the PAC12 Champion against BIG12 runner-up Iowa State. And rightfully so. After all, it wasn’t Oregon’s fault Washington opted out of the title game against USC due to covid. Someone had to play the Trojans.

THE SUN DEVILS SHOCKER OVER OREGON
