How can you not feel good about the turnaround that the OSU Men's Basketball team is enjoying right now? Maybe Duck fans aren't overly thrilled, but it's certainly some great exposure for the Beavers hoop program. So, they've won 4 games in a row. I know, it's not against some of "the upper echelon" teams...but baby steps are good.
I just think that whatever Craig Robinson has going... keep it up! OSU may not make a lot of noise ...

Let's be honest...nobody gave the Portland State Vikings much of a chance against 7th-ranked Gonzaga on Tuesday. Even as a proud Viking alum...I would have put my money on the Bulldogs. Gonzaga entered the night having won 55 of the 57 games they've played in the McCarthey Center. So, nobody thought PSU would leave "The Kennel" with a win. But they 'woofed' their way right past said Zags.... and beat a ranked ...

Every fan of the Oakland Raiders will agree.... nothing will change until Al Davis relinquishes control of the team.

And their 2 of their 3 wins are against possible playoff teams (Denver and NY Jets). If it sounds like this is a moment for me to vent.... IT IS! Oakland'...

The Washington Huskies have their guy! Current USC Offensive Coordinator Steve Sarkisian won't admit it publicly... but numerous national sources say that the 34-year-old former BYU quarterback has been offered the job.
Funny that all this happens roughly 48 hours after Chip Kelly-- agreed in principle-- to take over for Mike Bellotti once he steps down at Oregon. I'm curious if the Huskies had Kelly as a serious target--and really, ...

I'd like to say that I'm shocked... but I'm not. Mike Bellotti is stepping down as Head Football Coach at the University of Oregon.
This has been rumored to be in the works for a couple of years now.
But no need to worry Duck fans... Bellotti isn't going far.
He will eventually be taking over as Athletic Director.
Here's the rub with all of this. We have absolutely no idea on when this will happen. >> Continue reading: Bellotti To Step Down As Ducks Head Coach

For the third time in his brief NBA career, Blazers guard Brandon Roy was named the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday.
Roy led Portland to a 4 and 0 record.... averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists per game.
You can't say enough positive things about how Roy carries himself as a professional athlete these days.
With the news in NY about Marbury and Plaxico.... Roy is simply a breath of...
