Starting quarterback Keith Price was having a record setting season for the Huskies and there was renewed optimism about the long term prospects for the Huskies. Oregon would go into

With ESPN Gameday on hand for the Ducks matchup with the University of Washington the eyes of the college football world will be focused on the game in Seattle.

Today I saw this quote:"I don't think so. I think our guys, we have a bunch of guys who have played in big games. Obviously for our newer guys who haven't played a ton there will be some element of newness but yeah, you package that with the new stadium and the nature of the rivalry, it will certainly be a new flavor." That is a diversion from the Chip Kelly faceless opponent mantra and one I ...

Three years ago, Oregon played a Jeff Tedford coached Cal Golden Bears squad that gave Oregon its toughest match-up in their run towards the BCS Title game. During the game, Aaron Tipoti was instructed to fake an injury on at least one, very obvious, occasion by assistant Tosh Lupoi.Many fans round Oregon felt as if Tedford had used Lupoi as a scapegoat; that the game plan and idea was Tedford's w

Now? It looks more important than ever with Lyerla's announcement that he is leaving the University of Oregon to turn pro. Rather than w

We did a Q&A with Buff Stampede Publisher Adam Munsterteiger who broke down the Colorado team for this weeks game. Defensively, what is the goal for Saturday? "Well, if you ask Colorado's coaches of course they will give you a politically correct answer about how they expect to compete against Oregon. In all reality, though, Colorado is going to give up a lot of points on Saturday. If the

APU stood for "All Players United" and it was a message that there are players across the nation who
