If you're a Seattle Mariners fan, one word can easily describe the 2008 Major League Baseball season for you: "Bleh!"

Last night, the Mariners recorded loss #100 for the season. Seattle hasn't dropped 100 games in a season since way back in 1983.

Ducks starting QB Justin Roper hurt his left knee in overtime of their win over Purdue 32-26.
Head Coach Mike Bellotti says that he expects Roper to be out 2 to 4 weeks.

Harper has seen playing time in all three of the Ducks games this season. Oregon also has...

It's week two of Friday Night Flights and "The Ace" Sports Photographer Brian Warner and I are headed to West Linn to cover the game with Lincoln.

As everyone knows...I like to get a bite to eat on Friday Night Flights. That actually started years ago at West Linn. We were going to do a highlight package of the game and normally we do what is called a standup in the story. That's where the reporter stand...

Sadly, it's happened to Pilots forward Rachael Rapinoe once again. The Redshirt Senior is out for the season with a knee injury for the second year in a row. She re-tore the ACL in her left knee. It's the same injury she suffered a year ago...four games into the season.\\

This time, it was three games into the season. Rapinoe went down in the first half against top ranked USC on Monday at UP. Rapinoe was hop...
