In about 3 hours, the 113th Civil War game will kick off at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. In the history of the game, the stakes have never been higher.  The winner will go to the Rose Bowl.  If the University of Oregon Ducks lose, they’ll end up in the Holiday Bowl.  If the Oregon State Beavers...

Last Saturday, Ohio State and Michigan finished their football season the way they always do—playing head-to-head in a game that redefines the term “rivalry.” Even though Michigan’s record was dreadful this season, the game was still huge. It always is. Many consider Ohio State/Michigan to be...

LaGarrete Blount hurdles a BSU lineman rather than punching him. (Note: This article was originally published on September 4th.) I’m trying to remember a worse day to be a Duck fan. It was nearly comical. The Oregon Ducks-Boise State Broncos matchup to kick off the college football season ended...

Saturday was a tough day for Burnside’s two official college football teams. First, the Oregon Ducks decided to run up the middle about a million times in the first half. It was a decent strategy considering their quarterback couldn’t throw the ball, but Boise State is a team known for upsets,...

Why do I have a feeling I’ve stolen Chad Gibbs’ title? That Star Wars nerd… Tomorrow, it’s Duck season. This is my favorite time of the year, a time spent with friends with Otto’s Sausage and pristinely-crafted fresh-hop harvest pale ales. Last year, the grill was flaming...
