#EmbraceDebate: Pac-12 Championship edition. Did Washington State win the Pac-12 on aggregate or did Oregon State and Wazzu split the conference title? Is there a secret third thing?

Lupoi, who helped to build a brand of physical football in Eugene after NFL and other NCAA stints, will take his first head coaching job with the Golden Bears. #GoDucks🦆🏈 #DucksGoing

Bend, Oregon, holds worlds of contradictions. Tourists come for the resort-like down-to-earth atmosphere, and yet Bend has also been described as “poverty with a view.” Read about Jonathan Bach’s book, High Desert, Higher Costs: Bend and the Housing Crisis in the American West, in Eugene Weekly.

For me it’s this classic

Road-Kill Squirrel Remembered As Frantic, Indecisive

And you usually get some smartypants saying "But discs can go bad!" Yes, discs can go bad. Film and burn. 16mm copies can rot. But one thing film history has taught us is that titles are far, far safer in the hands of affectionate amateurs than they are with the studios.

You may see people advising you to grab WB-owned titles on physical media and you may wonder if this is overreacting. It isn't. Movie studios have always put preservation and convenient availability last, outright junking films that they no longer value. Being a movie fan is rife with stress.

Some ridiculous artist made this for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary (it popped up in my FB memories) and it really deserves another watch. #TakeOnMe #DoctorWho youtu.be/IpVUCv6q5Lg

This headline has a couple of problems: 1) Making me wonder how Doctor Who was involved. 2) Suggesting that being dead doesn't affect your hunger for ketamine. Honestly, don't put the most important word last.

Braga, King, and Ski talk living to 100, Lanning fiending for 5 stars, USC hoarding 3 stars, the best WR room Oregon's ever had, who replaces Tosh and Stein, bro Dan, Husky copium, Automatticus, the return of Bryant/Moore/Stewart, possible playoff matchups, the dead MBB team, top road trip snacks.

Wild. Seems they hate #Oregon. #GoDucks youtu.be/fTOdtbyOcnI?...

during realignment, one of @danrubenstein.solidverbal.com’s good and correct takes was that we give up those decades of accrued scar tissue. but: watch this video, and you will be convinced that the Oregon Ducks have undoubtedly scarred Penn State. also, Pat Kraft is an unserious man

Other fanbases yell “NIL!” Oregon keeps building a home. Coaches leave. Players stay. Culture holds. That’s the difference — and why the Ducks are built for what’s next. 🦆🦆#GoDucks New Flock Talk: Our House 👇 www.ducksportscentral.com/2025/12/floc...

My wife wanted to climb the tree in our front yard to hang Christmas lights, but my toddler cried and begged her not to so she wouldn't get hurt. It's was a warm, caring moment that showed how much she loves her mom. Moments later, she suggested I climb the tree instead.

Seems about right..

On this day 175 years ago, the first edition of The Oregonian hit the streets of Portland. If all had gone to plan, the newspaper would have celebrated its 175th anniversary last month. But when its printing press never arrived, Dryer suspected sabotage! www.oregonlive.com/history/2025...

An employee working in a trench was directing an excavator operator above him when the 3,000-pound bucket fell off the machinery’s arm, crushing the lower half of his body. The worker survived but was hospitalized for more than a month.

Virginia’s Tony Elliott named the ACC Coach of the Year

LOL, he would know!

Clark has more than 10 sponsors that made up 99% of her total 2025 earnings of $16.1 million. Her WNBA salary and bonuses totaled $114,000.

Digging through a random drawer at @oregonian.com and discovered a trove of classic Blazers prints. These are so cool.

Ducks counter coordinator losses with record recruiting haul By Tyson Alger buff.ly/x8hbHGw

How does a team counter losing key coaches in consecutive days? Loading up with 21 players and the No. 2 class in the country is a start. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/ducks/...

Oregon shot 74% from the field to take a 30-point halftime lead and coasted to a 96-73 win over Oregon State. The Ducks are now 10-0. Point guard Katie Fiso scored 23 points (9-11 FG) and added 14 assists. Fiso is Oregon's best player since Sabrina #GoDucks #cbb #cbbsky

Culture wins. Oregon Women's Basketball defeats Oregon State 96-73, moving to 10-0 on the season. #GoDucks Via: GoDucks

The least drama filled national signing day of Dan Lanning’s tenure was no less successful for Oregon.

Oregon WBB 10-0, team has found its identity and is taking no prisoners. Katie Fiso can’t be stopped or contained, next great Graves guard.

After the Ducks failed to defend their Players Era Festival crown last week, many of the same issues reared their ugly head in a loss to the No. 24 USC Trojans. #GoDucks🏀

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Week 15 /r/CFB user poll, in #CFBball comic form! (🧑‍🎨 /u/TB25Uga)

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Always good to start the day with banana smiles and our donkeys

Column: The committee found a strange way to elevate Alabama over Notre Dame, which is strangely elevated over Miami. The last rankings before THE rankings were an exercise is puzzling logic and twisted facts. bit.ly/48ATmIY

admittedly I find it a little funny when the playoff committee decides to talk about their rankings like Your Least Knowledgeable Coworker

Alabama conspiracy is real on this one. Well, not a conspiracy, but a multiyear intellectual beating that Greg Sankey has somehow delivered into these people's minds, as I wrote about after the FSU debacle @splitzoneduo.com www.splitzoneduo.com/p/college-fo...
