Tristan's Bio

Having lived in Portland most of my life my Uncle got me interested in Ducks football when I was only seven. Since then I have been a rabid Ducks fan and college football devotee. What, you want more? You'll have to buy me dinner first, honey.

Media and fans do not realize just how good a team that the Broncos beat. the Ducks are a very solid team and I look for them to play very well today and a win for Oregon will not surprise me at all. Stay in there Tristan, enjoy your game

LeGarrette Blount's punch stole the headlines, but Oregon has more important things to worry about after losing to Boise State.

Hey guys, if you would please read this article on the comparison between Vince Young and Tim Tebow.

This is actually the most important piece to me that I have written, so I kindly ask that you give your feedback on the situation, and help with the promotion of the article.

Thanks as always guys,

Hey Tristan,

Your coverage of the Ducks is awesome. I'm ceding to you! Will stick to my Cougs and the Beavers. Hope someone with half your talent comes along to cover the Beavers.

Suggestion. Your notes on the rest of the Pac-10 were entertaining to read. Why don't you post them as a separate article, giving you a good chance to expand on games you feel strongly about? Just a thought.

Keep up the great work!

Your Ducks coverage is worthy.
