December 2005 ArchivesWill Haloti stay or go to the NFL ? As he was walking off the field I asked him if this was the last time he would be wearing a Ducks uniform. He said probably not. When a couple more reporters came in to join our conversation he backed off and said he wasn't sure what he was going to do. After the hoopla of the game wears off and the realty of life sets in I think Ngata is gone. And with good reason. Right now he's a ... Like I said before I left for the Holiday Bowl, the Ducks future is in the hands of Dennis Dixon, and the results are mixed. Dixon and the Ducks ran into the quickest and best defense they had seen all year. At times Dixon looked a bit flustered during the game. I had a feeling he would pull the ball down and run when his first receiving option wasn't open and that's what happened. But remember Akili Smith's first year. He did ... As I head down for the Holiday Bowl I firmly believe all eyes should be on Quarterback Dennis DIxon. So much is riding on this game for him. If he goes out and puts on a masterful performance against Oklahoma, in the back of their minds, Duck fans will be thinking BCS next year and a run for the Heisman for Dixon. However, if Dixon looks confused and tentative then he comes into next season with a big question mark on his jers... If I'm Ernie Kent I better take a close look at myself in the mirror. Because right now he and his team are close to unwatchable. I was at the Chiles Center and watched as Michael Holton not only outcoached Ernie and the Ducks, but the Pilots backcourt tandem of Darren Cooper and Pooh Jeter stole the show. I'm a huge fan of Michael Holton's. There isn't a classier coach in the northwest. He not only coaches his players well, bu... Let me go "off the board" for this blog entry. I'm at the U2 show and from behind me I hear this weird, shrill of a voice. I usually don't pay attention to anything around me at concerts. I feel it is simply 2 hours of people connecting with the band and I think it's great. But I glanced back and saw this lady. She had to have been about 75 years old. She had opera-type of binoculars and was singing. It was one of the strangest, yet be... With Dan Hawkins about to be named head football coach at Colorado let me tell you how close he came to getting the job at Oregon State. Hawkins was on the list of candidates. However, Mike Riley was the guy that Bob DeCarolis wanted all along. DeCarolis went through the interview process but it was Riley's job to lose. In fact Fitz Hill, the former head coach at San Jose State was interviewed. Could you imagine selling Fitz Hill to yo... I have a 2 and a half year-old daughter so I know a thing or two about flying objects. But this story takes the cake. The 2 year-old son of Utah Jazz rookie center Robert Whaley threw a knife at him and Whaley had to go to the Emergency Room and is out for a few days because his hand is cut. First off, knives and 2 year-olds should never be in the same sentence. Was Whaley planning on having the kid cut up some carrots ? <...You got to love the Ducks for stepping up to the plate and doing a home and home with Tennessee. But the first game in that series isn't until 2010. Let's look ahead to next year when the Ducks start the season at Fresno State and then host Oklahoma. Like I said on the news last night the Ducks and Oklahoma will play eachother 2 of the next 3 games. I don't know if I've ever heard of a scheduling quirk quite like that. As Matt ... Had an interesting conversation with Derek Anderson prior to Sunday night's game with Houston. First off, he's thrilled to be a Rocket. However, he took some major league shots at Blazers General Manager John Nash. Anderson accuses Nash of telling people he was hurt when he wasn't. Anderson says there were times last year when he could have played, but Nash wanted to play the youngsters. Anderson says Nash made ...
These days the supposed "off-season" is just as intriguing as the regular season. In any sport. The Baseball's Winter Meetings just started and it seems like there's a deal going down every couple hours. I had a friend call me from there and it sounded like he was in Times Square on New Year's Eve. Without Dick Clark of course. He also said besides a lot of front office personnel and players there are a lot of women there. If ... So you think the Seattle Seahawks might get some respect, after the 42-0 drubbing of the Eagles on Monday Night Football. Think again. Nothing's going to change for the NFL's Rodney Dangerfield. With ESPN slowly taking over the world, television Sports Departments across the country have to stay local. That means people like myself have to give viewers what they can't get on ESPN, and that's local sports coverage. For the past 4 days Adam Bjaranson and photographer Tim Jacobsen have been doing a tremendous job in College Station, Texas following the University of Portland Women's Soccer team and its run to the national title. ... I must admit I am a little disappointed that Tom and Katie haven't invited me to their wedding. But I'm going to do the right thing and send them a gift anyways. If you would like to do the same here's their registry. http://justjared.blogspot.com/2005/12/tomkat-wedding-registry.html Ron Pivo Having grown up in Los Angeles I know a little bit about this USC-UCLA game. It seems to me that it's one of the only rivalry games that doesn't have a nickname. This year's game is the biggest I can ever remember. This article from the L.A. Times tells the story. |
