Check Out Oregon's Pink Uniform Schemes
The Oregon Ducks steamrolled Washington State 62-38 Saturday night, and they looked aesthetically pleasing doing it, donning pink accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It must be fun to play on a program with an infinite uniform budget. Even coach Mark Helfrich wore a pink polo....

Oregon's Cheerleaders Would Like To Haunt Your Dreams Now

Oregon's New “Football Performance Center” Is A Decadent Monstrosity
The University of Oregon just opened a brand new $68 million, 145,000-square foot football facility that would make Ozymandias—but not Phil Knight—blush. It is completely bananas. Let's take a look at some pictures....
The NCAA Has Wagged Its Finger At Oregon And Chip Kelly

Thus...
Arsalan Kazemi, Oregon's Iranian-Born Glue Guy, Was Subjected To A Whole Lot Of Racism In His Time As A Student-Athlete
Arsalan Kazemi was Oregon's hustling forward and best rebounder this season, averaging nearly a double-double and shooting almost 60%. He was also, according to USA Today, "the first Iranian to recieve a scholarship to play Division I basketball," and boy, did he hear about it. ...
College Pitcher Gets Ball Stuck In Glove On Comebacker, Throws Entire Glove To First
Quick thinking from Oregon's Jeff Gold to hurl the entire package when he realized the ball was stuck in the webbing of his mitt. But credit should also go to first baseman Ryon Healy, who was able to spot and corral the ball as it came loose from the glove in mid-air....
Oregon Already Has A Job Listing For A New Head Coach
For some reason, Eagles fans are currently tracking new head coach Chip Kelly's flight from Eugene to Philadelphia. (I think because they saw college fans do it, and it looked fun.)...
Chip Kelly Is The New Coach Of The Philadelphia Eagles
Um, what? Remember last week, when Chip Kelly decided he would be staying at Oregon rather than jumping to the NFL after having been wined and dined by both the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles? Well, forget all of that. ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Kelly has in fact decided to ...
An Oregon Player Faked An Injury During The Fiesta Bowl So That His Teammate Could Get Into His First And Last Bowl Game
According to The Oregonian's John Canzano, last week's Fiesta Bowl featured a real-life Rudy moment. Coming into the game, Oregon's Dane Ebanez had never made a bowl-game appearance, despite playing at the school for four years and being named scout team player of the year in successive seasons....
<em>Newsday</em>, Like Twitter Users, Simply Cannot Tell Brian Kelly And Chip Kelly Apart
Two college football coaches, both named Kelly.

Brian has one of the two teams playing for the n...
Chip Kelly Is Reportedly The Next Head Coach Of The Cleveland Browns
We mentioned Thursday night that we're big fans of Chip Kelly and the team he built at Oregon in his four years as head coach. We also mentioned that the Fiesta Bowl—which Oregon won, 35-17, over Kansas State—would probably be Kelly's Ducks' last hurrah....
Tonight Is Probably Your Last Chance To Watch Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks. Don't Miss It.

Chip Kelly will coach Oregon against Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl, and then he'll interview for NFL head-coaching jobs (chats with Philly, Cleveland, and Buffalo are scheduled so far), an...
Oregon Football Boosters Are Mad That Chip Kelly Doesn't Hang Out With Them
The Chip Kelly era has brought the Oregon Ducks to two Rose Bowls and a BCS Championship Game in three seasons—and a Fiesta Bowl appearance this season—so it'd seem difficult to complain about the then-unknown New Hampshire offensive coordinator who took over a Pac-10 program. And yet, some of the ...
A Skeptic's Guide To The 2012 Heisman Trophy
Remember the lullaby afternoons of September, when we all figured we'd see a Heisman winner who merited the award? Maybe a Geno Smith, slinging the ball all over the yard, or even a Matt Barkley, who despite being named after Big Bird's dog had the right pedigree and weaponry (Robert Woods and Marqu...
Kansas State Gets Blown Out By Baylor And Oregon Falls To Stanford At Home As The Top Two BCS Teams Get Their First Losses On The Same Night
A week from college football's end-of-season reckoning and Kansas State and Oregon, ranked first and second respectively in the BCS standings going into today's games, have taken their first losses of the season. The defeats likely pave the way for a new BCS leader in (gulp) Notre Dame, a 38-0 win...
Lee Corso Almost Killed A Duck On College Gameday
At this point, we have no grounds for saying whether or not the duck is dead. The duck could be alive, it could be in the final, painful throes of death, it could be totally OK—maybe ducks are more resilient than they look. Maybe. We're not veterinarians. All we know is that the duck was not happy...
Your College Football Open Thread, For Talking About Basically Anything But College Football
