Oregon Reaches Midpoint of Spring Practices
Posted on 15 Apr 2011 by Rob Parness.
As the Oregon Ducks hit the midway point of spring practice it is becoming clearer that there is still a lot of work to be done in the months to come prior to the season opener. Chip Kelly’s high-flying offense has yet to find the groove and pace that allows them to soar. At this point they can barely spread their wings without having a talented and aggressive defense pounce on turnovers. The...

Duel in the Desert: Instant Classic
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Leslie Charles.
Stick a PITCHFORK in it I have seen numerous Duels in the Desert but last night's was definitely one for the ages. Though it didn't get interesting until well into the second half, this game became everything that rivalry games are about. Defensive slugfest early…little bit of offense in the end…and pure skill, luck and execution to finish the game off right. Each team was looki...

Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
It is truly remarkable to think about how the Notre Dame season ended. Yes, it’s only 7 -5 (exactly what this space predicted in late August, but the way), but it’s the best kind of 7 -5. It’s the pleasantly surprising kind. We know the story, heard it a million times. But somehow, it doesn’t get old. At 4 -5 and coming off a brutal home loss to Tulsa, it looked like Notre Dame’s bowl...

Notre Dame/ Tulsa : The Call That Ended 2010
Posted on 1 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Welcome back to rock bottom. Welcome back to playing out the stretch. Welcome back to thoughts like “I’ll be happy if it’s a game in the fourth quarter”. Oh, how I haven’t missed this lonely land where football seasons go to die. But hey, at least theirs only three more weeks on the schedule before the focus shifts to 2011 and beyond, if it hasn’t already. Face it, year one of the B...

The Rambling Wreck of Georgia Tech Got WRECKED!
Posted on 23 Oct 2010 by Adrian Wilkins.
After spewing off three consecutive losses with two of them coming from ACC rivals, the Clemson Tigers had several questions they needed to answer and the one to answer them was not head coach Dabo Sweeny who basically turned his weekly press conference into something of a self-defense session. “I wish we had a little bit better record, but this season isn't over,” Swinney said. How...

With six games to go, and a bowl berth on the line, ASU must play the last half of the season with a renewed sense of purpose. And it all begins this Saturday vs. the Cal Bears.

Maryland – WVU: Renewing a Rivalry?
Posted on 16 Sep 2010 by Scott Lowe.
Everyone knows about the Maryland-Duke rivalry in basketball. Throw the records and rankings out the window when those two schools square off. The student bodies despise each other, the players don’t care for each other, the fans and alumni can’t stand each other and the coaches – although they seem to get along well off the court these days – compete against one another as fiercely as ...
