It's getting late early for Oregon
Let's see if this week's episode has a little more shelf life. This week, Tyson and Justin try to make sense of Oregon's offensive meltdown, the growing pressure on Dan Lanning and his coordinators, and whether the Ducks can salvage their season. Plus, looking back at some historically bad Oregon...
-
It's Raiola Time
Dylan Raiola is getting his shot. What happens if he makes the most of it? Tyson and Justin are back to preview Oregon's matchup with undefeated UCLA, a game that could have major implications for the Ducks' season — and their quarterback situation. Is UCLA following the Indiana blueprint? Can...
-
Oregon vs. USC: The Battle for the West Coast
Oregon-USC is back, and this one comes with a little more weight than usual. Tyson and Justin look ahead to the Ducks’ trip to the Coliseum, why Saturday feels like a prove-it game for both programs and how Oregon-USC evolved into one of the West Coast’s defining matchups. They also revisit the...
-
Where do the Ducks go from here?
Oregon’s loss at Oklahoma State was bad. The days that followed weren’t much smoother. Tyson and Justin dig into whether the Ducks’ early-season struggles are actually part of a larger Dan Lanning September trend, what Portland State can realistically tell us and whether Oregon can get things…

One of those Oregon starts
Tyson and Justin are back to unpack Oregon’s much-too-interesting 34-27 win over Boise State. Was it a concerning opener or are the “Oregon is a fraud” takes getting a little ahead of themselves? The guys talk Dante Moore, Dakorien Moore’s growing fun factor, Evan Stewart and the punt-return...
-
Oregon in 2026: Our final predictions
It’s finally football season. Tyson and Justin open with the most important question of Week 1: What exactly is perfect college football weather?

-
Oregon in 2026, one inch at a time
Football season is finally here. Tyson Alger and Justin Myers close the book on Oregon’s fall camp and take a look at what’s ahead for the Ducks in 2026. How much can we really learn from a schedule in the transfer portal era? Which games should Oregon fans actually be worried about? And has…

Bro Talk & Broken Bones: Inside the fall camp doldrums
Tyson Alger and Justin Myers are deep into the doldrums of fall camp, where the dock is far behind, the island isn’t any closer and the content machine still has to be fed. After a quick detour into concert-ticket panic and a YouTube comment calling out their “bro talk,” the guys dive into the...
-
On the Beavers' reality check, Lanning's title-or-bust expectations and the lowly Mariners
It's Week 2 of fall camp and the Pac-12 is looking a little different than it used to. Tyson and Justin get into new Oregon State coach JaMarcus Shephard’s pretty blunt message to Beaver fans, what “sticking with us through adversity” actually means and whether fans really want coaches to be…
more -
On Raiola, fall camp and fireworks at Autzen
Tyson Alger and Justin Myers kick off August with fall camp in full swing and a fake controversy leading the Oregon news cycle: Dylan Raiola’s perfectly standard “I like it here better” transfer quote somehow becomes a national talking point. From there, they zoom out on college football’s…

Back to chasing the natty
The World Cup is over. Whatever will we do? Oh right, this is a football podcast. So this week, we're back on football -- with a slight turn toward the end about the billionaire trying to ruin our basketball team.
-
USA soccer as Colorado football and Tortilla justice
Tyson Alger and Justin Myers mourn the end of the USA’s World Cup run and ask the big question: Didn't we do this a couple of years ago with Colorado? They relive the wild scene in Seattle, debate why decades of MLS growth still haven’t moved the needle for Team USA on the global stage then pivot...
-
On Ja, Japan, the World Cup and Eugene going Bananas
Ja Morant is a Portland Trail Blazer. OK, then. On this week's Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin digest that news, then dig a bit into LeBron's next stop, the World Cup, the Savannah Bananas at Autzen and what it would take for Oregon to have a Joey Harrington-billboard-like cultural moment again.

A regional 18 years in the making

-
The May Grab Bag
It's May, Justin had the weekend to himself and Tyson is sunburned from his trip to LA, which led to an off-the-rails episode of the Traffic Report that includes our thoughts on Oregon recruiting, hockey movie power rankings, using 1990s power hitters as a metaphor for a current health trend and...

-
Portland's Frugal Billionaire
We scraped together enough cash to pay our internet bill to bring you this week’s episode of The Traffic Report, where we exalt and praise the business practices of new Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon. Who cares about the fan base or the momentum of a playoff run when there’s a bottom line to…
more -
The Blazer Bandwagon
Welcome to The Traffic Report -- a Portland Trail Blazers podcast. OK, so maybe we haven't talked much about one -- we're looking at you, Netflix -- of Portland's professional sports teams, but seeing as Portland is playing in the NBA Playoffs on Sunday, we figured now is the time to jump on the...

The Traffic Report: It's bracket season
Before heading out to Austin to cover the first round of Oregon’s run through the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, Tyson had to catch up with Justin this week to put a bow on the men’s season and share a few stories about how, uh, unique Chicago was. Then, we’re talking brackets and the men's...
-
It's March. Where's the Madness?
It's that time of year when everyone starts talking about college basketball. And while the Oregon women are set up nicely for an NCAA Tournament selection, it's looking like a long, quiet and far too sane March for Dana Altman's men.

Hoo Hoo Hoo's the next Hoosiers?
This week on the Traffic Report: Does Dante Moore's return make Oregon the front-runners in 2026? Or is there another Indiana out there ready to take the sport by storm?
-
The Traffic Report: Dante Moore ruined this podcast
It's a good thing, folks. Because while 99 percent of the following podcast was recorded an hour before Moore announced his return to Oregon for 2026, well, we figure the news of Moore's return outweighs an instantly dated episode that wraps up Oregon's 2025 season. I speak briefly on Moore at…

The Traffic Report: Hello again, Hoosiers (Plus: Orange Bowl recap)

The Sun Bowl Replayables
Yes, there is plenty of 2025 football to talk about on this week's Traffic Report. Tyson and Justin share their thoughts on the bracket, on James Madison and the first home playoff game in Autzen Stadium history. But really, we're all here for the 2007 Sun Bowl Replayables, right?
-
On Oregon's win, coordinators departing and the playoff picture.
We missed a week and boy do we have a lot to catch up on. This week on the Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin go over the Washington win, catch up on the news of Will Stein and (maybe) Tosh Lupoi departing for head coaching positions, take a look at the playoff picture and then try to put this 11-1...
-

-
The Traffic Report: A corn-fed victory

-
The Traffic Report: The Hoosiers are coming
The No. 3 Oregon Ducks beat Penn State, flew back home to Oregon, rested during the bye and are welcomed back to football with the No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers coming into Autzen for another top-10 matchup. This week, Tyson and Justin voice their concerns about Indiana’s offense, try to figure out what...
-
The Traffic Report: The Oregon Ducks win a classic
Well, that was a fun one. I’m back from State College after a whirlwind weekend, and Justin and I didn’t think it would be right to wait any longer to dive into Oregon’s win over Penn State in this week’s Traffic Report. Listen for our thoughts on the game, the experience at Beaver Stadium and a...
-
Bonus pod: The last word on Penn State
Well, we’ve largely said what we’re going to say about this Oregon/Penn State matchup. At least that’s what I thought until friend of the Corridor Shane Hoffmann gave me a ring. With the No. 6 Ducks and the No. 3 Nitnay Lions kicking off tomorrow, I caught up with my old pal for a few final...

It’s No. 6 Oregon and No. 3 Penn State with College GameDay in town, a White Out planned, Big Ten bragging rights on the line and playoff implications aplenty. What more could you want? After getting off to a 4-0 start, Oregon’s first true test of 2025 is here: an experienced Penn State team,...
-
The Traffic Report: One last time (for now) for the Ducks and Beavers
The game is coming back. The Oregonian reported earlier this week that Oregon and Oregon State have struck an agreement to resume their annual rivalry game beginning in 2027 — meaning we’ll only have a one-year hiatus after Saturday’s 129th meeting between the two programs. But on this week’s I-5...
-
The Traffic Report: The Ducks might be good*
No, Oregon hasn’t played anyone. No, we’ll probably not know anything until Penn State. But through two weeks, could the Oregon Ducks have looked any better? Tyson and Justin get together on this week’s Traffic Report to talk about Oregon’s 2-0 start, preview the Northwestern game and wonder just...
-
The Traffic Report: Oregon's fast start, Lanning vs. Gundy and what happened to mouth pieces?

The Traffic Report: Is this thing on?
