Nick Reed goes back-to-back Academic All-American
Remember, too, that Reed is a History major – not a common choice by athletes – which makes his great academic record even more impressive. I’d say Reed does strike me as a somewhat cerebral person. Not really much of a talker, (at least with media), but he does actually listen to the content of [...]
ASUO Senate meeting of Nov. 24
After last week’s battle royal, this week’s ASUO Senate meeting was much tamer by comparison. There was little conflict, little argument, and many senators who usually enter the EMU Board Room scenting blood came in with smiles on their faces and laughter in their hearts. Derek Nix (Seat 11, Undeclared Majors) typified this attitude. Usually, [...]
Ducks cruise past Alabama
Oregon’s men’s basketball team looked terrible in the first seven minutes against Alabama in the Maui Invitational’s first round.
Then something happened. I believe it was the bench play, namely Matt Humphrey to start everything going well. That seemed to ignite the starters, like Michael Dunigan and especially Joevan Catron.
And how about the resolve of this [...]
ASUO Meeting of Nov. 19, 2008
You could tell Wednesday’s ASUO meeting was important. You could tell from the acronyms under “Benchmark Presentations” on the agenda, which meant the Senate ultimately allocated nearly $10 million in theoretical budgeting. You could tell because some senators were all tarted up in their finest makeup and business attire–including an elastic tie that began the [...]
Jeremiah Masoli grabs second Pac-10 offensive Player of the Week award
No surprise here after that incredible first half. Release via GoDucks.com:
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — University of Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week on offense for Week 12, commissioner Tom Hansen announced Monday.
Masoli tied a conference season-high with five touchdowns (three rushing, two passing) and tied the Oregon single-game record [...]
No. 8 Oregon vs. No. 5 Washington: Set 4
The fourth set had an altogether different feel than the first three sets. Knowing that they were potentially down to their last set to try and stave off another loss, Oregon battled for each and every point. After 22 points combined, Oregon was up two 12-10, led by some timely hitting from Gorana Maricic. There [...]
No. 8 Oregon vs. No. 5 Washington: Set 3
The Ducks again took the early advantage, going up 4-2 behind two blocks from Neticia Enesi. Enesi was everywhere for the Ducks through the first 13 points they scored. She had two kills and five blocks, helping Oregon to a 13-8 lead.
But the Huskies stuck around and came back from the five point deficit, going [...]
No. 8 Oregon vs. No. 5 Washington: Set 2
The Ducks raced out of the gate in the second set, taking an early 6-2, led by three kills from junior captain Sonja Newcombe and a block from sophomore Heather Meyers. The Huskies stopped the run with 4-0 one of their own to tie the game at 6-6, and then tied the game again at [...]
