EUGENE, Ore. — Talk about the pot calling the kettle green.Or yellow. Or chartreuse. Or whatever color Oregon happens to be wearing in a given week.The Ducks on Saturday sported cleats that change color according to your body temperature. For more than two decades, Oregon’s performed in more wardrobe combinations than Elton John.So, yeah, the idea of Ducks football coach Dan Lanning pointing fingers at Deion Sanders and CU for choosing sizzle over steak is pretty rich.But you do you, young man.“(We’re) rooted in substance, not flash … the Cinderella story is over,” Lanning told his guys before the game in, ironically, the most click-worthy story of a painful 42-6 Buffs backside-kicking.“They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins.

EUGENE, Ore. — Even at 3-0, darlings of the nation, Deion Sanders warned those jumping onto the Buffs Bandwagon — some seats might’ve just come open, by the way — that CU was still about a half-dozen or so “dawgs” away from where he wanted the program to be.On Saturday, it became painfully clear, right away, that most of those missing pieces are along the offensive and defensive lines.The Buffs allowed 240 rushing yards — 161 in the first half alone — and 522 yards of total offense to the tenth-ranked Ducks, who scored on five of their first six possessions, led 35-0 at the half and cruised to a 42-6 win over the No. 19 Buffs.“I think that was a good old fashioned butt-kicking,” Sanders, the Buffs’ first-year coach, said after suffering his first loss at CU and largest margin of defeat ever as a college coach. “No excuses. No nothing. Their coaches did a heck of a job preparing their team. Obviously, we didn’t. I mean, that was a really good, old-fashioned butt-kicking.”Click here t...

Santa Rosa’s Scott Alexander shut down with hamstring strain. Will he be back with SF Giants in 2024?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:01:00 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Scott Alexander, a Santa Rosa native, has possibly thrown his last pitch for his hometown San Francisco Giants.Alexander, 34, strained his left hamstring before Saturday’s game while running sprints, landing him on the injured list and ruling him out for the rest of this season. In a corresponding move, the Giants called up outfielder Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento.While Alexander told the Bay Area News Group that he would like to return next year, the sinkerballing left-hander is set to be a free agent this offseason, and the Giants might prefer to build their bullpen next year without him.“I like it here a lot. I would love to come back,” he said in an interview last week. “But it’s kind of out of my hands.”The Giants signed Alexander to a minor-league contract last May when he couldn’t find any takers. His shoulder was injured, but doctors couldn’t pinpoint the exact ailment. The Giants allowed him to rehab unde...
