*Sorry for 2 sports posts in a row, Robin. When Ted Miller wrote a column for the Seattle P-I, he was appropriately focused on the Huskies. When I heard he was moving to ESPN.com to cover the Pac-10, I thought that that his analysis would be tinged with a purple haze, but he is turning out to be really fair (read: he gives credence to the Oregon teams). This week Ted posted his Pac-10 coaches...of clock management. I'm hoping to be at the Cal game at Reser on November 14th. Mike Riley (OSU) - Coach has this terrible personality...

I headed up to the Willamette River near Oakridge tonight expecting a bonanza. As you can see from the landscape photos, that's not what happened. Not many golden stones, or even caddis flies for that matter. Small, pale mayflies were on the water by 8pm though, size 16 PMD's were a good match. I didn't catch any large fish tonight, but caught quite a few native rainbows. The...of river — an invasive species and popular garden plant in the Pacific Northwest.

I am a subscriber to ESPN: The Mag, but I check out SI from time to time on their website. The August 15 issue of Sports Illustrated is hitting mailboxes around the nation with regional covers. Just in case you weren't aware; everyone east of the Mississippi is a Buckeye's fan and (of course) everyone west of the Ol' Miss is a Trojan's fan. Just so you know. As I sat and watched the Seahawks'... The teams that aren't on ABC or ESPN every blinkin' weekend. Let me 'splain something to you. OSU has the SECOND BEST win total in th...

Note: Just a little over a year removed from competing with Oregon State in the 2007 Men's College World Series, former OSU closer Eddie Kunz was called up to the New York Mets on August 3rd. Since most of us do not have the best access to Eddie, I called upon Eric Simon of Amazin' Avenue who graciously provided us with some information. What follows is a report on how the Mets and Eddie are...

"I'm sorry, Ted. It's not that I wish to subject you to ridicule for your opinions, I just look at it more as a learning opportunity for someone who lives in Scottsdale to get a closer look at the Beavers. I'm talking about what we'll agree to call your 'reasons' for ranking OSU 6th in the conference." --ESPN's Ted Miller quoting CV3000 [Miller didn't attribute it, but...obviously, how could it...

In two weeks,the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB) will hold a hearing in Eugene on the future of the Coos Bay rail line owned by the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad (CORP). CORP is seeking to abandon 94 miles of line between Eugene and Coos Bay. At the same time, the railroad has petitioned to discontinue service on 22 miles of track between Coos Bay and Coquille that it leases from...businessto make itworthwhile (previous blog here).Switchinglinks...

Today we're sharing the final photos from the Geosciences Club's Death Valley trip. Thanks to Barry Walker for providing the photo descriptions in both posts. Mosaic Canyon. The river (apparently very ephemeral) has plastered layers of breccia onto the sides of this canyon, creating an amazing effect.

Get a screen full of this? ...It's nice to see that the All-Important, Almighty NATIONAL CFB MEDIA regard a team with: A perennially dominant defense, reloads no matter who is lost to graduation A returning, physically overhauled, undefeated quarterback A recent tradition of big-time tailbacks nearly unrivaled in the NCAA An All-American receiver being added onto a team that went...best known for their off season workouts at the optometrist Has to play ASU, CAL, USC, and OSU--the team they haven't beaten in a Lan...

It's YouTube Wednesday, folks. After a comprehensive search that included the likes of WILDER McANDREWS, MIKE REMMERS, BtD's CV3000, and UNA SMILEY -- Coach Cavanaugh has finally settled on a right tackle: Yep, it's left tackle Andy Levitre! Okay, okay. We tricked you. While we're not ruling out the possibility that the 6-3, 317 pound senior could play both right and left tackle simultaneously,...
