Oregon has added another website to their internet family.

More accurately, it looks like new life has been pumped into OregonGridiron.com.

For reasons unknown to me (as far you know – thanks, George S.), the original OG became stagnate, fatal for anything online. If I had to guess, OG is back up and running as an approved recruiting tool for Coach Kelly (I think the previous site looked too good and caught the attention of compliance – that’s just a guess).

Here’s the rundown of what you will find at the new OG:

Coaches videos -

Chip Kelly
Nick Alliotti
Jerry Azzinaro
Gary Campbell
Scott Frost
Steve Greatwood
John Neal
Tom Osborne
Don Pellum
Jim Radcliffe (bio only)

And here’s a link to the 2009 Oregon recruiting video that popped on and off the internets about as fast as you can say “spread option offense”.

Looks like features on the facilities and Nike are coming soon (If you’re looking for help, we here at DSN use a great production company that does a great job – sometimes too good. If you want their contact information, just drop us a message and we’ll get that to you right away.)

Blogs also seem to be a new feature on OG. So, keep checking back right here at DuckSportsNews.com for more updates on OregonGridiron.com.

Jay, here.

Cumulus Broadcasting in Eugene is shaking up the lineup on ESPN Radio 1320 “The Score”. Good news for some. Bad news for others.

First, the good news. Congratulations to our friend Steve Tannen. “Sports Talk with Steve Tannen” is returning to the sports talk airwaves next week on ESPN Radio 1320 “The Score”. With the addition of Steve to KSCR’s lineup, they not only have cornered the sports talk radio market, but they have also cornered the market on all local talk radio in the Eugene-Springfield area.

Now for the bad news. You may not know this, but Costco always maintains the same number of products in their stores. So, whenever they add a product, they have to drop a product. Well, with the addition of Steve Tannen, KSCR is dropping Jim Rome from their broadcast store. Clones, Jim Rome is now in the basement. Good night now!

Here’s the press release and new lineup from Cumulus Broadcasting.

For immediate release…

“I am thrilled and delighted to be back on the air in Eugene with 1320, The Score” said Steve Tannen. ”…there’s a terrific spirit of sports people and sports attitude inside this building, and I’m excited to be a part of it”.

Jerry Allen, KSCR Program Director and voice of the Oregon Ducks added: “Steve Tannen brings solid sports knowledge, a quirky fun attitude and a great passion for sports. His show will strengthen an already solid station”.

Jay, here.

I don’t quite know how I stumble upon stuff like this on television.

Well, in this case I do: my wife called my attention to it.

And, in some ways, I wish she had not. And I’m not sure Eugene residents are going to appreciate the attention, either.

Honestly, I don’t know what to say here. So, I’ll let FOX News’ Brit Hume and Dan Springer (with some help from Lane County Commissioner Bobby Green and the Eugene Chamber of Commerce’s David Hauser) take it from here with a story (“Too Politically Correct?”) on Eugene’s unique preparations for the upcoming U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials.

FOX News’ Too Politically Correct?

So, DSN visitors, who’s stereotyping who here?

Is sensitivity training for Eugene residents necessary before the Olympic Trials?

Should FOX News undergo some cultural competency training of their own(Dan, the “Eugene Hotel” is not a hotel.)?

Or am I the only one being overly senstive here?

React and Duckcuss. But, please, do it sensitively.

Do you have writer’s block?

Well, George Schroeder does.  Starting today.  And you can, too.

Beginning today at 2:00p.m. on KSCR 1320AM in the Eugene/Springfield area,  Cumulus Broadcasting debuts “The Writers Block” with The Register-Guard’s George Schroeder,  and Justin Myers.

George is a friend of DuckSportsNews.com.  Considering the state of sports talk radio in the Eugene/Springfield area, we would encourage you to check it out.  I don’t think this area has heard anything like him before.

Get “Writers Block” before your friends do.  It will be well worth it.
