Bo Nix has been in the spotlight since he first stepped onto a college football field. As a true freshman starting for Auburn in 2019, Nix would lead the Tigers on a game-winning drive on a national stage to open the season against the…Oregon Ducks. Circumstances would lead Nix to leave Auburn in 2022 and bring him West, to Eugene for a fresh start to his football career. Helping Oregon to a 10-win season and bowl victory last year, Nix returns as the Ducks have their sights set on a run through the College Football Playoff. I recently had the chance to sit down with Bo and his wife Izzy during Ducks Give 2023 for a conversation ranging from how he got to Oregon to how he and Izzy met. It was a great talk that peels back the curtain on one player under the spotlight in Eugene.This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is Bo and Izzy Nix…A Couple Ducks from the SouthSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rich Brooks

Most of the students walking around campus at the University of Oregon have long known the football program as winners. A national powerhouse. Conference championships. Rose Bowls. It’s all become the norm in Eugene. But that success didn’t happen overnight. It was a long and winding road to become a destination spot in college football. A road that points back to one man. Before Lanning and Helfrich…before Kelly and Bellotti…there was Rich Brooks. Brooks would bring success to the Ducks the team hadn’t seen in over a century of playing football. After taking Oregon to their first bowl game in over 25 years, Brooks had his sights set on more. Not only for the Ducks, but for himself as well.This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is part two of our interview with Ducks legend Rich Brooks…Pasadena and Beyond.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tanner Smith

Dreams usually take a lifetime to achieve. It’s something we use to continue to push ourselves to constantly keep moving forward to reach our goals. But what happens when you reach that goal at 18? That’s where Tanner Smith found himself when he first dawned the green and yellow. Smith has not only continued to keep pushing for the betterment of himself, but also, for the betterment of the team. That drive has helped push Smith up the Duck baseball record books, something he’s dreamed about since he was a boy. This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is Oregon baseball’s Tanner Smith…A Duck Born and Raised in SC See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do it nice or do it twice. The mindset of a perfectionist can be a tortuously rewarding experience. Always giving it your best effort is something every athlete, whether amateur or professional, has been taught since they were in grade school. Having that mindset is tough in softball, when getting a hit less than half the time puts you in the record books. Allee Bunker has re-written the records during her time at Oregon, whether it be on the diamond or off. In the field of play, Bunker will finish off her Ducks career in the top 5 in hits, runs and RBIs.

Adam Snyder

Adam Snyder is the definition of a grinder. Head down. Do your job. The rest will fall into place. Snyder wasn’t highly recruited out of high school. He wasn’t a top draft pick in the NFL. Even after being selected in the 3rd round of the NFL draft, he wasn’t sure if he belonged. But all that added fuel to the fire and drove Snyder to be the hardest worker in the room. After a stellar career as a Duck and a decade in the NFL, Snyder still has that edge to be the very best that he can be.This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is former offensive lineman Adam Snyder: Rising from the Trenches   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

101. Adam Snyder: Rising from the Trenches 

The sentiment when it comes to kickers in football is they have the easiest job in the world. Run on the field. Kick the ball. Run back to the sidelines. Mission accomplished. Rinse. Repeat. Camden Lewis wants you to know that’s there a tad more that goes into it. A soccer goalie in high school with the nickname “Cannon” because of his leg strength, Lewis tried out for the football team and fell in love with the game. But he also knew he’d have to work his tail off to get where he wanted to be. The effort would pay off as Lewis was offered a scholarship at Oregon. It hasn’t always been easy, but the kicker originally from Carolina has carved out a place in the history books for the Ducks. This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is Oregon football’s kicker, Camden Lewis: Just for Kicks  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trust the process. That phrase has become a part of pop culture verbiage in the last decade, thanks in large part to the Philadelphia 76ers. At the core of the phrase is to not worry about the dark times and difficult situations because brighter days are ahead. And what better way to describe Terra McGowan’s collegiate softball career. A star high schooler on the diamond and in the classroom, McGowan went to Arizona State to play ball for the Sun Devils. Culturally, ASU wasn’t the right fit for McGowan. Her mental health was too important. Eugene provided the perfect fit culturally. But the tough times continued as she had to sit out her freshman year after transferring…and then COVID…followed by an injury that cut short her junior year.

Ernie Kent

Ernie Kent made a name for himself as a player who left everything he had on the court in the late 70s with the Kamikaze Kids. Sacrificing his body for his teammates would take a toll, as injuries would cut short any pro aspirations. That wasn’t the end of Kent’s basketball journey though. Not by a long shot.

Join host Rob Moseley as we take you inside the stories of current and former student-athletes, coaches, staff members and fans in a way that's equal parts entertaining and interesting.

Ernie Kent had never been west of the Mississippi River before heading to Eugene. An All-American in high school, Kent would arrive on campus not knowing much about the Ducks but could feel just how one-of-a-kind Eugene really was. Kent wanted to be apart of something special and he would find that in coach Dick Harter’s Ducks, or as their most commonly referred to, the Kamikaze Kids. In part one of my chat with Kent, we look back at his childhood growing up, getting to Eugene and what it was like playing for those special teams in the 1970s. This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is part one of our conversation with Ernie Kent: Becoming a Kamikaze Kid.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Life can be hard. The ups and downs of the daily grind can be overwhelming at times. Most of us have a support system to fall back on in order to help us get through the tough times. Our parents usually top that list. Imagine taking that away? It would be easy to give up and feel sorry for yourself. To go down a path that not many recover from. But that’s not what Gloria Mutiri wanted for her life. She didn’t let her circumstances define her. She continued to fight.

She dared to dream.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

90. Gloria Mutiri: Dare to Dream

Endyia Rogers

We’ve help tell a lot of great stories in the nearly 100 episodes of this podcast. Tales of triumph. Tales of heart break. And tales of perseverance. Stories that would jump off the pages of a book. Te-Hina Paopao and Endyia Rogers have similar stories but author them in vastly different ways. Paopao is a vocal leader for the Ducks who has overcome significant injuries in her playing career well before she got to Eugene. Rogers is reserved on and off the court, even in the face of family tragedy. One bond they’ve shared since an early age has been basketball. The game has helped them face adversity and lead them both to Oregon. And that’s why we’re giving you a super sized episode with the ladies of the Ducks basketball team. For them to share their story…in their own words.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

88. Aaron Wise: Birdies for the Duck

John Robinson

Ahmad Rashad

Dan Fouts

Oregon football has made its name as a national power, especially over the last 30 years. Many memorable moments have helped cement the Ducks as perineal title contenders and the class of the Pac-12. But Bowl games haven’t always been a given. There were some lean years for the Ducks in the 70s and 80s. A stretch in which Oregon didn’t go to a bowl game for over 25 years. As a new decade came into focus, one team did stand out. The 1970 Ducks were one of only two teams during the decade to have a winning season. That team earned the nickname, “the fighting Ducks,” and one game in particular couldn’t have resembled that nickname more. October 10th…Oregon vs UCLA at the Coliseum. Oregon, down 40-21 with under 5 minutes to play against UCLA, scored three touchdowns to shock the LA crowd.This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is our look back at one of the most dramatic comebacks in Ducks history featuring Dan Fouts, Ahmad Rashad and John Robinson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
