Why Leave the Civil War Up To Chance When You Can Jinx Oregon State?
11/30/2009
I am a sophomore at the University of Oregon and I have an unhealthy addiction for sports. The Oakland A's and Major League Baseball are my biggest passions, but for some reason college football and the Ducks are creeping up as a close second. I am double-majoring in Sports Marketing and Public Relations, and am currently interning with San Francisco-based boutique tech PR firm, Vineberg Communications. Inspired by Bill Simmons and the guys from Around the Horn, I am not your typical sports writer.

Normally I would be angry about the Ducks having a week off, but to tell you the truth, I could use a break. I am completely spent from that down to the wire, pulling out my hair, covering my eyes, instant classic, comeback win down in Arizona...
This kind of thing isn't unique to Arizona. Oregon has had its own troubles with unruly fans in the past. I agree the Arizona administration should...
Things started so well for the Arizona Wildcat faithful. College Game Day announced they would be live in Tucson, the Athletic Department successfully organized an almost frighteningly intimidating ...
I’m usually a pretty confident guy, arrogant even, you could say. But coming into the Arizona game this weekend, I was more nervous than any other Saturday this season–and it had absolutely nothing to do with the players on the field...
Nice job Keith. It looks as though we're the only two who's gonna be writing college basketball for the Ducks. Hopefully we can put 'em back...
