Businesses close in Portland for three reasons as far as I can tell: landlords, retiring, and being owned by Micah Camden

Every day, I link to at least two recent articles from other Oregon news outlets in our morning newsletter. Lately, it's been so dispiriting to see many local news sites' sidebars full of Capital Chronicle stories and little else, in a marked difference to last year.

It’s pronounced buh-GOE-tee

MIGHT AS WELL, CAL

The Seattle Mariners (laudatory)

Holy shit!

Pete Buttigieg is not a serious national politician and anyone taking him seriously is not a serious political figure themselves

THE JETS?!?

Chau Smith-Wade pick-6 on Michael Penix, as the Apple Cup gods intended

IT’S OUR BOY!!!!! The first Griz player from Browning on the Blackfeet reservation!!!! gogriz.com/sports/footb...

Did anyone alert @sickoscommittee.org to what Valley City State and Eastern Oregon did today eousports.com/news/2025/9/...

Devon Dampier is a legit Heisman contender

First NFL sack for Jamaree Caldwell. His football journey almost ended when, during COVID, he moved back home to help his mom with her catering business. He got up to 430 lbs. In his final college season at Oregon, he developed into an elite space eater.

Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74

Fascinating dynamics at work here. Per below, Bonham is headed to D.C., but will he seek elected office again? He endorses Drazan for the OR Senate too. They are all terrible, but Oregon Rs in leadership seem to have punted on the idea of winning federal races that aren’t OR-2 in favor of statewide

This cannot have been an easy column to write, which makes it that much more powerful

George Will Look the Other Way

Tamika Catchings and Cheryl Miller are better players than both Bird and Taurasi, come after meeeeeee

“I suffered and so must you” seems to be at the core of so many of these people and their followers.

LOL Cam Ward is what Bears fans thought Caleb Williams would be

The NFL totally slept on Bhayshal Tuten in the draft process. Dude runs like a boulder on a black diamond slope

I’m really sad about Deshaun Foster. This was an inevitable outcome based upon results…he really seemed to care about his alma mater succeeding, though. I hope he lands well elsewhere.

This is the first article re: Oregon K-12 ed I’ve seen that acknowledges that 197 school districts (!!!) might be problematic. What it DOESN’T mention is that some districts have 30% FEWER days of class & the majority are run by Moms for Liberty/Moral Majority types. www.wweek.com/news/state/2...

Kansei Matsuzawa has Kanji on the back of his jersey, apparently Hawai'i has now gotten permission from the Mountain West to do this for the rest of the season

Shoutout to the UTEP fan on the Fullcast After Dark Call-In Show who just yelled "ARCH MANNING COULDN'T SCORE 41 POINTS ON US IF HE HAD A *GUN*" All-timer

SILENT IN SOUTH BEND

Devon Dampier is a legit Heisman contender

Hey @tinakotek.bsky.social check out how a real leader acts

Someone at Ole Miss threw a basketball on the field and the ref got a BUCKET

RIP shutout. Alas

Northwestern looks like a bowl team until the Wildcats cross the Oregon 40-yard line

Gonna think about this for a little while tomorrow as NFL stadiums across the country observe a moment if silence

DIERRE HILL JR.! This Oregon backfield is NUTS

Boise State’s goth volleyball player back at it for her junior season

Bryce Boettcher turned down a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros to show up at a temporary stadium in Illinois at 9 a.m. and hit people while running at full speed. No choice but to stan

A Development to Monitor for Oregon Football has appeared

I don’t know if Isaiah World and Emmanuel Pregnon are fully in sync yet Terrifying prospect for Big Ten defenses

That NW timeout is a gift for Oregon, which is clearly looking for two scores to end the half

Oh dear Preston Stone

Very few backfields in the country in which Jayden Limar would not start. His balance and vision both look improved and he’s making very disciplined plays today.

Oh that playcall was BEAUTIFUL

Northwestern is very disciplined in executing their game plan of keeping Oregon’s offense off the field That pick notwithstanding

As Oregon prepares to knock down Northwestern’s temporary stadium, congratulations to my high school alma mater on its first win in football since 2021

Cars I saw on the road today: -Subaru Outback L.L. Bean edition with a Blue Lives Matter flag sticker -Late-90s Ford Bronco, Alaska plates, spare tire on the rear door, with a transgender flag bumper sticker reading THESE COLORS DON’T RUN Oregon will never beat the charges

I know a couple of SPED teachers in Oregon who should probably update their resumes

Meanwhile, in extremely cool and good local news

the following are reactions that guests had to @pablo.show reveals during this episode: “oh come on” “jesus christ” youtube.com/watch?v=mKJy...

College sports are in a hell of so many leaders’ making

“At least two HBCUs in Virginia shut down their campuses on September 11, 2025, after receiving threats. Virginia State University and Hampton University both issued urgent messages to protect their students, faculty, and staff.”
