@Kphaze8 All this momentum, a series win and then...one loss tomorrow and you get to watch Ducks celebrate title on your field. 11:28 PM May 26th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Kphaze8
@Kphaze8 Hmm, you don't sound like much of a believer. After tomorrow's baseball win, there's nothing stopping it. 9:53 PM May 26th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Kphaze8
Wow I didn't think that was a real thing. RT @robbledog: Mercy rule in play for @OregonSB. Gotta love that 7:41 PM May 26th via Twitter for iPhone
Are you allowed to troll in softball? RT @mcshanem: U MAD @TexasSoftball?” 6:45 PM May 26th via Twitter for iPhone
Operation win 5 spring sport national titles looking good with softball up 4-0 in super regional. This is happening! #goducks 6:35 PM May 26th via Twitter for iPhone
Classic Portland. Walk to happy hour in pure sunshine. Walk home in an outdoor shower. At least the beer was good. 7:35 PM May 24th via Twitter for iPhone
@robbledog 1) anywhere that has that many 18-34 yr old women will eventually attract men and 2) the nursing profession is 94% women 7:47 AM May 18th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to robbledog
Hey Portland, put a shirt on! 4:05 PM May 13th via Twitter for iPhone
@mcshanem Oil up so flips easy. After flip, get cheese on quick. Toughest thing is getting cheese to melt before dough burns. @stumptherob 10:30 PM May 7th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to mcshanem
@StumpTheRob Used to do that once a week in SD. Whole different level of pizza making. @mcshanem 9:39 PM May 7th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to StumpTheRob
@mcshanem You ever put that on the BBQ? That's a hell of a summer pizza right there. @stumptherob 9:35 PM May 7th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to mcshanem
Yelling at January 2nd Darron Thomas right now that the NFL Draft is a trap. He's been warned. 7:03 PM Apr 28th via Twitter for iPhone
@MattMcLaren Didn't look close today but I never seriously considered that Mariota could win the job until now. 5:34 PM Apr 28th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to MattMcLaren
Watching the Rose Bowl (need more football) and really can't understand why Mariota isn't starting here, people. 5:28 PM Apr 28th via Twitter for iPhone
@MattMcLaren Had a good time. Little weird being at Autzen in April but quarterback battle is intriguing. 5:16 PM Apr 28th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to MattMcLaren
If by NFL, you mean Chip Kelly, then yes #TeamMariota RT @KegsnEggs: The NFL has blocked Darron Thomas' transfer back to Oregon. 4:52 PM Apr 28th via Twitter for iPhone
@StumpTheRob @mcshanem Always associated him w/Christian McLemore. How males ever stopped wearing half shirts I'll never know. Wait, what? 10:13 PM Apr 26th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to StumpTheRob
Went to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight. Their $.65 boneless deal is an affront to all that is holy about chicken wings. Bone must be left in. 9:55 PM Apr 26th via Twitter for iPhone
@mcshanem WTIII was an egregious omission from Kirk's all uniform team. 9:46 PM Apr 26th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to mcshanem
Interesting reading everyone's perspective of future draftable Ducks. Top payers on defense. And this isn't new. Been that way for awhile. 9:41 PM Apr 26th via Twitter for iPhone
