I liked the Bruce Willis/Ben Affleck one better.

After Tommy John surgery, Cal Scolari anchors Oregon’s 10-1 start After a major surgery delayed his college debut, Scolari is finding rhythm and command and is the Ducks' ace so far.

The Ducks are very familiar with Cal Scolari's surgically-repaired right elbow.

It's why they're so confident in his blistering start to the 2026 season.

19.6 seconds left to play at MKA and Oregon has taken its first lead of the game.

Timbers brought back to earth in 2-0 loss at Colorado A week after a promising opener, Portland’s road struggles resurface in a flat performance against the Rapids.

Portland's 2-0 loss to Colorado on Saturday couldn't have been more different than a week ago.

And it began at the start.

That's two quality wins in a row for the Oregon men's basketball team.

Is it too late? Most definitely for this season. But on a day when the administration reportedly put its support behind Altman for next year, that was some -- mostly -- sound hoop played tonight at MKA.

Takai Simpkins tries to throw a lob to 6-3 guard Drew Carter. By Altman's reaction -- immediately slumping against the scorers' table -- I don't think the Ducks drew that one up.

"Big Ten Rivalry Series" here at MKA between heated foes...checks notes...Oregon and Wisconsin.

Second to last home game of the year. Energy in the building is palpable.

8 p.m. tip here at Matthew Knight Arena and we have a coach challenge 26 seconds into the game.

See y'all tomorrow.

Went to Yardy Rum Bar here in Eugene for dinner tonight before hoops for the first time.

I don't say this lightly: One of the best chicken sandos I've ever had.

Obviously excited to be here, but this sort of thing is for the fans. We're just taking it one story at a time and focusing on the next lede.

Timbers start 2026 with a comeback and a clearer identity It's just one match, but the start of the season has a much different feeling than a year ago after Portland's 3-2 win over Columbus.

You can't make too much out of a season-opener -- see the 2025 Timbers -- but this year's squad will certainly take its 3-2 win over Columbus.

On a Portland club that looks like it actually has a feel for itself:

'Oregon is a hockey school': Crowds turn out at team’s final homestand From sweaty bus rides to packed nights at The Rink Exchange, Oregon hockey has come a long way.

No, it's not the Big Ten.

Still, @UOHockey is putting on a heck of a show.

Like Red Panda, Ducks aren’t ready to throw in the towel Behind a combined 44 points from Nate Bittle and Takai Simpkins – along with a Red Panda halftime appearance – Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena was a lesson in overcoming adversity.

Like Red Panda, these Oregon Ducks aren't throwing in the towel. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/ducks/...

This is a landmark year in American soccer, and I don't think the Timbers have had a season with this much pressure and expectation since they entered MLS. #RCTID

The internet mostly sucks, but getting Seahawks parade and Mariners spring training clips on the timeline isn't half bad.

I’m not a Duck fan (#GoCougs), but I am a fan of good stories, good writing, and @tysonalger.bsky.social. This story is a hat trick of those in my book.

It all began with some scrap metal and a dream: Checking in with the OG O-chain guy Tanner Faris didn’t just want to go to Oregon β€” he wanted to belong. A homemade chain helped him find his place, his people and his own little legacy.

I'm on vacation this week -- and my colleagues at @lookout-es.bsky.social are doing far more important work.

However, here's a goofy story involving Oregon, scrap aluminum and Flavor Flav.

Oregon's 2026 football schedule is here With eight straight games after a bye, road trips to Columbus and L.A. and a home date with Michigan, the Ducks have their work cut out for them in 2026.

A gentle ramp-up followed by an 8-week sprint to the finish.

In a first half where the Ducks can't get anything to drop, Katie Fiso shot puts a half-court heave that swishes -- but didn't quite beat the buzzer.

Gophers up 27-24 here at the break.

The complicated feelings about Mario, Miami and the Natty As Miami and Indiana meet for the championship, Ducks fans are left balancing resentment, gratitude and the legacy of Mario Cristobal.

Four years after he left, Cristobal's legacy in Eugene is a complicated one as he prepares to coach in tonight's title game. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/ducks/...
