The Oregon Ducks club hockey team fell just short again last Thursday, losing 3-2 to the visiting Utah Utes. The second game of the two-game series between the Ducks and Utes was eerily similar to the first game. However this time the Ducks were able to get their first shot of the game just 27 seconds in (compared [...]

Oregon Hockey games, Timbers final home game and ESPN’s College Gameday in Eugene; it’s been a fun last few days for me in sports with lots of driving and little sleep, unfortunately I have run out of time to do my weekly Pac-12 picks.

The Oregon Ducks club hockey team lost to the Utah Utes in last night’s season opener here in Eugene. While an opening game loss is tough for the Ducks to swallow, there were some positives to build on going into tonight’s game against Utah.

Dick Vitale won’t be there. Camera crews from CBS or ESPN won’t be there either. Millions of brackets won’t ride on the outcome. Nets won’t be cut down. Madness won’t ensue. So who cares right? For many fans of Oregon athletics, going to the championship of the College Basketball Invitational tournament is nothing to get [...]

If you ask coach Chip Kelly which drive was the most important to his team’s success this season, he would undoubtably respond with a quick, simple and clever rebuttal that danced away from any answer you were looking for. At the same time in no way would he lead you to believe that any one drive this season [...]

Impressive. If you only had one word to describe the Oregon hockey team’s performance against USC two weekends ago, it would be impressive. Coming into the matchup with long time rival and fellow championship contender, USC, the Oregon fans didn’t know what to expect. The series meant the first time fans got to see their [...]
