In: NCAA hoops
3 Aug 2011The Northwestern basketball program, which has been stuck in purgatory for its entire existence – people still don’t believe me when I tell them the Wildcats have NEVER made the NCAA tournament – is setting about rebranding itself by putting a new court on the floor at Welsh-Ryan Arena. For most teams, this is a [...]
This week in the Pac-10: It’s a trap!
In: NCAA football
5 Nov 2009I’m kicking myself for not picking Oregon last week – the signs were all there for a Duck victory – but I just couldn’t pull the trigger. Now, sitting on top of the league, the No. 8 Ducks face the dreaded trap game as they travel to Stanford. On paper, this just seems like another [...]

In: NCAA football
9 Oct 2009Since the rocky, and controversial, start to its season, Oregon has found a way to get back on track and position itself to win the Pac-10. But it hasn’t been easy for the Ducks.

OTPB college football preview: The Pac-10 outlook
In: NCAA football
2 Sep 2009No conference has been identified more by a single team over the past decade than the Pac-10 and USC.
