Oh, You Are So Totally Grounded


In case you haven't seen this yet, the young Oregon fan giving the double-bird salute from the stands here toward UCLA's Kevin Love got into big trouble when he returned home. It seems that Sports Illustrated ran the photo with its story about rabid college sports fans a couple of weeks ago, and the guy's dad saw it. Result? Dad took away the kid's car. More »

Oregon Ducks

1. Should of Just Been a Duck. The Oregon student section, or The Pit Crew, was awesome enough to get mentioned (with an accompanying picture) in Sports Illustrated as one of the nastiest, most verbally abusive, over-the-line student sections in the country. Oh wait, not so awesome. When Portland native Kevin Love made his way up to Eugene in January, The Pit Crew exacted their revenge on his going to UCLA instead of Oregon (where daddy Stan played with Ernie Kent) by posting his cell phone number on Facebook (leading to death threats), throwing things at his family in the stands (including his Beach Boy uncle, Mike Love) and chanting things about Kevin Love that I won't get into here. Ok fine, they insinuated that he enjoys the peen. More »

Not A Good Week To Quack

Credit this morning goes to Adam Rank at The Fanhouse, who correctly predicted St. Mary's upset of Oregon last night. See? This blogging thing is easy. More »

Not A Good Night To Be A Duck

With everything else going on and dominating those sports pages of ours, it almost passed notice that the BCS race imploded again last night with Oregon's loss to Arizona. It also obliterated Dennis Dixon's Heisman chances; he's not likely to play the rest of the season. All told, a rather eventful evening. More »

Dennis Dixon Takes Tougher Classes Than Matt Leinart

You might remember a couple of years ago, when everyone had their proverbial panties in a proverbial bunch about Matt Leinart taking only one class his senior year, ballroom dancing. This ultimately didn't turn out well for Leinart; all that extra time just gave him more impregnation opportunities. We hope Oregon's Dennis Dixon has more luck. More »

Two Undefeated Teams Demoted To Sorta-Defeated

• Oregon 35, Arizona State 23 — ASU decided to go with the "dig selves a 21-3 hole, and see if we can get out of it" defense, but it backfired against them. Oregon will probably move from their previous ranking of 5th up to third because...
 
• Florida State 27, Boston College 17 — ...a football team in Boston actually lost a game. Matt Ryan's third interception of the game fell into the hands of Geno Hayes, killing the last-minute rally. The BC Eagles are now exiled from the laundry of list of why Boston sports rule this year, and are substituted with the New England Revolution of the MLS. More »

Wouldn't Be A Final Flour Without Florida

The wheels were very very slow to come off for Oregon. They fought and they battled, and they were in the game with under a minute left ... but it always sort of felt like a slow death march for the Ducks, as you knew that foul trouble and Florida's advantage in the paint would kill them at some point. God, it seems like it's been years since we've had a Final Four without Florida. More »

Florida Overcomes Some Ugliness

Florida spent the first ten minutes of the game handling the ball like the handsome gentleman who spent so much time attempting to fix the net. They looked extremely uncomfortable to start the game, turning the ball over and being totally out of sync. More »

Gators vs. Ducks, Coming At You

The tournament's lowest-remaining seed is about to take the court against the defending national champions ... though it's not quite the underdog story that those two facts might lead you to believe. Florida is favored by 7, though. More »

Oregon Ducks

1. Not that Aaron Brooks. From the same school that gave the sports world another Jaison Williams (current WR) and Steve Smith (former CB), comes current point guard and Pac-10 Player of the Year candidate Aaron Brooks. He can't throw 50-yard backward passes, but highlights before this season include breaking his wrist after punching a basket support at UCLA and then nearly breaking a semi-albino shooting guard's face. In all fairness to Brooks, I'm not sure if popping a Washington Husky is technically a punishable offense.

2. Mac Court is really old. McArthur Court is about 80 years old, and if you go to a game there, you might die. OK, maybe not, but a lot of the stands are supported by wood, and when fans start getting excited and get on their feet, being in the building becomes, to say the least, uncomfortable. The rumor is that a new arena won't be built until there's a new coach, due to the fact that people (read: those with the greenbacks) seem to want Ernie Kent out. A 23-win regular season, however, probably ensures that somebody will be hit with a roof shingle or fall through the stands at some point next season. Also, on a somewhat related Mac Court topic, the student section was told to tone it down after starting a "Your Son Hates You" (clap clap, clap clap clap) chant directed at Henry Bibby. Classy all the way.

3. Fun Duck Facts. The uniforms (save for maybe the bright yellow ones) probably won't blind anybody and have no diamond plating or fade paint ... Backup point guard Adrian Stelly worked as a janitor at Mac Court his freshman year before walking on the following year ... shooting guard Chamberlin Oguchi plays for the Nigerian National Team ... shooting guard Bryce Taylor has improved significantly since cutting off his Sideshow Bob dreadlocks before the season ... It's not a typo, forward Maarty Leunen really does spell his name with two As ... Freshman Tajuan Porter is 5'6" and somehow tied the Pac-10 freshman record for threes ... I once saw backup forward Mitch Platt in a Quizno's. I don't remember his order, but it didn't impress me, much like his 30.8 percent free throw percentage that season. — Dan Rubenstein

It Might Save Oregon Some Money To Just Give Everyone In The Crowd LSD


In their ongoing quest to burn the retinas of anyone who watches them, the Oregon Ducks have unveiled the newest part of their continually changing look: helmets that change color depending on the angle from which they are seen. I'm glad no one's told them about Hypercolor t-shirts. More »

That's Not A Fun Way To Lose

Saturday was an outstanding day for college football — particularly if you went to Syracuse, grumble grumble — but it was not so pleasant for Oklahoma fans, who, as this video rather clearly shows, were screwed out of a big road victory against Oregon. It's funny, because one wouldn't think it would be possible for so many calls to be missed on a play as simple as an onsides kick ... but there it is, regardless. More »

Oregon Ducks Continue To Assault The Pupils

We've never had the inherent fascination with sports uniforms that some folks have — it is, after all, laundry — but we couldn't help but note the new Oregon Ducks football uniforms, which they call "the next step in uniform development," which we suppose is true if that step involves playing football during an Elton John concert.
