Oregon beat Oregon State on Saturday. "Huge" games ahead for both teams? I looked the Civil War in the eyes in this column:

Civil War final: Oregon 41, Oregon State 7 Column coming.

The Platypus Trophy finally gets the big stage. ESPN's College GameDay spent three days in Oregon telling the story of the long-lost trophy. Emptied my notebook on the Civil War and Apple Cup here:

I went 8-3 against the spread last week. My Week 4 thoughts, picks, and predictions are out:

Is one of the answers to UCLA's big problems under its nose? Column:

Tom Dundon is worth $1.7 billion. He's buying the Trail Blazers for $4.25 billion. "This is not Steve Ballmer buying the Clippers." Here's how Dundon is pulling it off:

Oregon State WR Trent Walker (WED) and Oregon LB Bryce Boettcher (THUR) will join me on the radio show this week. What's your Civil War game score?

The photo gallery from Oregon's 34-14 victory over Northwestern is up. Darby Winter's amazing pictures told the story from Evanston, Ill. View it:

The Civil War could be a Civil Bore. But we're still calling it the "Civil War" aren't we? Column:

Oregon Ducks QB Dante Moore refused to strike a Heisman Trophy pose on Saturday. Moore looked (and sounds) like he's chasing something else. Column:

Ex-Ohio State coach Urban Meyer on beating Oregon in the 2015 national title game: "We knew we could dominate them at the line of scrimmage." Buckeyes rushed for 296 yards in that game. *Must win the line of scrimmage to win it all.

Bill Walton looks prescient. Chip Kelly looks smart. UCLA football, 0-3, looks like toast. Column:

A father. A daughter. A race to the Friday finish line. A human-interest story for you:

Saint Mary's is plotting (and adding sports). Will a Pac-12 invitation come? Column:

Nike vs. Adidas... who ends up right about Penn State? One sneaker company turned its back and is betting elsewhere. The other opened its arms. Column:

Nobody ever mistook Gundy for Gandhi. It was the dumbest thing ever for Oklahoma State’s coach to incite an Oregon team capable of a 69-3 massacre. Column:

Oregon State lost in a sloppy, profane, undisciplined way on Saturday. The focus is now on coach Trent Bray. Column:

Oregon State coach Trent Bray at halftime on The CW: "We're fine. We've allowed ourselves to create their success. Both in special teams -- a fucking joke -- and on big plays on defense." Oregon State trails Fresno State, 20-15, at halftime.

Northwestern President Michael Schill told me once that he didn't know much about football. I suspect that eventually cost him a job. Column:

Southern Utah will join the Pac-12 conference as an affiliate member in women's gymnastics beginning in the 2026-27 season, sources tell me. That gives the new-world Pac-12 four women's gymnastics programs: Oregon State, Boise State, Utah State, and Southern Utah.

My Week 2 thoughts, picks, and predictions are out. There were clues left everywhere last week. Read:

College football's billion-dollar question: Does your school have a donor with a bazillion bucks? Column:

Mario Cristobal got a signature victory at Miami. Meanwhile, Oregon's Dan Lanning traded verbal punches with Mike Gundy. Is this football season headed to a date with destiny? Column:

My photographer who worked the Oregon State-Cal game on Saturday night had some interesting sideline observations. His comments and the OSU-Cal game photo gallery are up:

Was Cal that sharp? Or Oregon State that shaky? There's joy in Berkeley today... and frustration in Corvallis. My column on OSU's season-opening loss:

The Oregon Ducks played loose and free on Saturday. Takeaways, thoughts, and opinions from the 59-13 season-opening win:

The CW lined up for new-world Pac-12 football games in 2026 and beyond. Plus: • Oregon's VIP experiences • Dallas Baptist's addition to Pac-12 in baseball • Coach 'games' the Top 25 More:

Portland State coach Bruce Barnum has a vote in the FCS football coaches poll. He knows that beating ranked teams helps and adjusted his preseason vote strategy accordingly. "If you're on our schedule," he said, "good for you." Barnum can't be alone in this thinking.

On the same day Tom Dundon agreed to buy the Trail Blazers for more than $4 billion, a convicted felon who lives in Arizona sold more than $33 million in stock. Connecting some dots on the Trail Blazers sale:
