Why Leave The Civil War Up to Chance When I Can Jinx Oregon State?
Posted on30. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
The biggest game of my life as a sports fan is Thursday. And as the clock creeps closer to kickoff with each minute ticking by, I am only getting more and more nervous.
Obviously, I can’t do anything to directly help Oregon increase their chances of winning, so I will resort to doing what I [...]

And the Funniest Fake Athlete Twitter Account Goes To…
Posted on18. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Everyone knows Jay Cutler is a douche bag. Everyone knows that Mike Dunleavy is a terrible coach. Everyone knows Al Davis is off his rocker. And everyone knows that if JaMarcus Russell spent half as much time practicing football as he did eating, he might actually be a good quarterback.
We always joke about athletes and [...]

Oregon Hoops: A Return to Respectability Is on the Horizon
Posted on17. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
It’s basketball season already? Seriously? I’m not ready to move on to a losing sport; it’s still football season, gosh darn it!
At least for now, Oregon Ducks basketball is the University of Oregon’s proverbial red-headed stepchild.
Why anyone would spend time following a team coming off of an 8-23 season, including losses to San Diego, Oakland, [...]

The Miracle Run Comes to an End as Oregon Lets Down at Stanford
Posted on08. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
After the last four weeks, and especially after last week’s blowout of USC, I thought we were invincible. I thought Chip Kelly would never let his team show up unprepared, I thought the defense was for real, and I thought going on the road wouldn’t matter.
But boy, oh, boy was I wrong. And Toby Gerhart [...]

The Definitive Oregon Green Dude Interview
Posted on05. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
He is a man of simple taste. He enjoys safety blitzes, the Oregon spread-option attack, and the colors green and yellow. He prides himself on being the most fanatic, intimidating, and downright terrifying force in Autzen stadium. He makes visiting players, well, to be honest, piss themselves.
No, I am not talking about the Most Interesting [...]

Week Nine NFL Power Rankings: Saints Brees Their Way to the Top
Posted on03. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
So, basically, what I learned this weekend is that the NFL cannot compare to college football. Not a great hook to keep you NFL fans reading, right?
Well the two would be a lot closer if I didn’t wake up Sunday to the biggest horror story in the history of our planet Earth.
No, I didn’t have [...]

Week Eight NFL Power Rankings: The Saints Go Marching On
Posted on27. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Another week down and another crazy shake-up in the rankings. The Bears and 49ers faced reality checks, and I finally gave the Bengals the ounce of credibility they deserve. Due to midterms, I’m keeping the intro short and sweet this week.
On to the rankings.
32 (32) – Rams:
Poor, poor Steven Jackson. 143 rushing attempts on the [...]

Rivalry Renewed: Oregon Ducks Look for Sixth Straight over Huskies
Posted on22. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
I remember going to my first Oregon Duck football game last fall as a freshman. Because of weird scheduling circumstances, the Washington Huskies came to Autzen in just the second week of the season.
And being a fan of the Ducks for several years before I stepped on campus, I was well aware of the rivalry [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week Seven: Vikings Ride Brett Favre Mojo
Posted on20. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
This was one of the worst sports weekends of my life. The Oregon Ducks had the week off, the 49ers were on a bye, the A’s are long gone, and it’s still preseason for the Warriors and the Sharks (wait, we’re two weeks into the NHL regular season already? I had no idea).
Without the privilege [...]
