Do you like the Ducks? Are you also a fan of really bad iPhone photography? Great, me too! Now come with me on a journey I call “Photographed Football.”

Run It Back: Oregon vs. California – Close Enough For You?
A win is a win is a win is a win is a win. Should I go on? 1. Wait, you thought this was going to be easy? EASY!? Well, yeah, me too. Look at all the teams with one loss right now. Some of them look unbeatable. Wisconsin goes for 83 points? Ohio State [...]
Home Bears vs. Road Ducks Split Stats
The last post had some interesting splits on California’s home/road stats. Why don’t we compare Home Bears to the Road Ducks and see what we get (H/T @ Giraffe’s prior comment. I’ll split out the Ducks home and road another time). This looks like a titanic Pac-10 showdown when you do it this way. Cal [...]
Beware of the Home Bears
There is nothing more perplexing in all of college football than the California Bears. Perhaps the career arc of Lane Kiffin, but that’s not up for debate right now. Cal is essentially fielding two entirely different teams this season. You have the home Bears and road Bears. One team looks like a national title contender, [...]
Twelve Sunday Thoughts From Oregon vs. Cal
Sunday is so much nicer after a win. I’m young. I always operate under the assumption that football started in 1994. So when I say that was the best all-around performance in a regular season game by Oregon, it’s without a lot of perspective. Still, it’s hard to imagine the Ducks ever being more abusive [...]
What Do You See? UC Nightmare
If there is a diametric opposite in this universe to what we witnessed against Boise State, it was shown for four hours Saturday in Autzen Stadium. It was as dominant a performance as has ever been seen from an Oregon team and in drubbling Cal 42-3, the Ducks announced their return to the Pac-10 title [...]
If Picking Oregon is Wrong, I Don't Want to Be Right
Week 4 Predictions PreNicktion: Oregon 27, Cal 20 FOTB Prediction: Not this week. The retro unis are in effect, thereby taking all the fun out of guessing the uniform combination. You wanna’ know something? I’m a fan and if I don’t want to be logical, then dammit, I don’t have to be. So sets the [...]
Professor Stat Geek is in the Building
With 25% of football played and Pac-10 play beginning, I’m going to channel my inner geek (let’s be real, it’s outer, too) and go inside the numbers to weed out some influential factors for the upcoming game. For the three of you that are still reading by the end, thank you for indulging me. The [...]
Time for the Defense to Shine
Say it with me, now. “I trust the Oregon defense to win this game.” Do you feel better? No? Neither do I. But the concept is true. The Duck’s defense has rarely been so important to the outcome of a single game. For all the time I’ve been following Oregon football (and it’s not that [...]
What We Need is Some Hate
Warning: If you lack a sense of humor and cannot understand sarcasm, please exit and learn. It’s a big game Saturday. And it’s not a natural rival. In fact, I always kinda’ liked Cal. But that won’t do. Friends we cannot be. We need to manufacture some animosity to get this thing going. So with [...]
