Media Day for the Ducks
The Oregon Ducks open fall football practice Wednesday with high expectations after back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances. At Monday’s media day, head coach Dan Lanning described his team as “hungry” as Oregon looks to take the next step toward a national championship. Senior quarterback Dante Moore returns to lead the offense, while a veteran defensive line is expected to be among the nation’s best. The Ducks begin preparations for the 2026 season this week in Eugene.
Ems to Play in Fire Ravaged Spokane
The Eugene Emeralds begin a key six-game series in Spokane tonight despite wildfires impacting parts of the city. The matchup carries major Northwest League implications, as the Ems trail the first-place Spokane Indians by just one game entering the series. A winning week against the league leaders could move Eugene into sole possession of first place as the regular season race heats up. Officials continue to monitor wildfire conditions, but the series is expected to proceed as scheduled.
