Newsroom Super Bowl Picks

By Craig Edwards

Hey gang. With a certain big football game coming up, I decided to talk to folks in our newsroom and get their picks, complete with a winner and a score. Just for the sake of being different, I'm going to go with the underdog and say Giants win it 31-28.

Here's how my "esteemed" colleagues think the big game will play out. What do you think?

Ashamed At Duck Students....

By Adam Bjaranson

By no means will I win over Duck fans/alumni with this...but hear me out.
Tonight, UO's Athletic Director Pat Kilkenny issued an apology to the UCLA Bruins basketball team, as well as to Kevin Love and his family. I'm told Kilkenny made numerous calls to help put this to rest. It all stems from last Thursday's game....with ALL of the derogatory chants directed at Love and his family. It's easy to see what ...



The Axe Falls in Corvallis

By Craig Edwards

Sporting Events still going on past 9:00pm pacific time are fairly rare on a Sunday night. But breaking news out of the sports world is even harder to find at that hour. The Oregon State Beavers broke the norm tonight.

The school fired Men's head basketball coach Jay John, ending speculation that had been around all season, but really intensified in the last week.

In all, John spent about 5 1/2 ...



Throwing the Rock

By Craig Edwards

My New Year's resolution for 2008 is a simple one; try as much new stuff as I possibly can. That idea lead me to the ice rink at Lloyd Center a couple of weeks ago to try a little curling.

Curling has been around for centuries, but saw a surge of interest here in the U.S. during the 2006 Winter Olympics. A bunch of us here at the station talked about trying it, so when an opportunity finally came, I jumped a...



Rocket Fuel....

11:54 PM Mon, Jan 07, 2008 |

By Adam Bjaranson

It is becoming "must see TV", isn't it? From a personal standpoint, I didn't give a lick at what Roger Clemens had to say before reporters today. That is until they unveiled and played his taped conversation with former trainer Brian McNamee. That was some good stuff!!! This is about to get quite entertaining. Should be interesting in the next days, weeks, months to come how each of the presenting attorn...



A Leopard & His Spots....

12:11 AM Fri, Jan 04, 2008 |

By Adam Bjaranson

You know the saying, right? A leopard never changes his (or her) spots. This is exactly what I think of when the name C.J. Giles comes to mind. He was intially deemed the "savior" to the OSU Beavers basketball program. And after watching this team fight tooth and nail tonight against 21st-ranked Arizona, I realized what an incredible impact he "could have" made.
But, Giles was nowhere on the floor...



Favorite Christmas Gift...I Found It!!

Let me preface this with "I dont' get a cut of the proceeds". And apparently, neither does Chuck Norris.
I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping on the 23rd....when I found the book of ALL BOOKS. "The Truth About Chuck Norris....400 Facts About the World's Greatest Human". I've read all 400 'facts' about 6 times each....and giggle like a child every time :)
Let me share a few of them...
