After a two-week break, Tyson and Justin are back for the start of fall camp, and this week they catch up on media days, early-season hype and whether the Ducks and Beavers should keep doing the weird September thing. Then, it’s on to Ichiro. The Mariners’ legend is officially a Hall of Famer, but where does he rank in the pantheon of best Mariners of all time?

It’s a Saturday night. After a dismal start to the Chip Kelly era in Boise, the Ducks have rattled off six straight wins to climb to No. 10 in the nation with No. 4 USC and its seven consecutive Pac-10 titles in town. It’s not the strongest team of the Pete Carrol era, but it’s still USC talent and the Trojans feature the No. 1 overall recruit in the country, Matt Barkley, at...2025-07-041h 11The I-5 CorridorThe I-5 CorridorThe Traffic Report: On OKC hate, big $$$ NBA sales and Oregon's Big Ten rivalsThis week, Justin and Tyson talk about Oklahoma City hate, what the Lakers’ $10 billion sale means for the Blazers and whether or not the Ducks have developed any rivals in the Big Ten other than Ohio State.

For Oregon, that means it’s Hall of Fame season. Nationally, former Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart has been selected to be on the 2025 National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame ballot. Locally, Oregon has released its own list of honorees, with Marcus Mariota and Hroniss Grasu leading the class of athletes to be inducted into the Oregon Hall of Fame t...2025-06-111h 38The I-5 CorridorThe I-5 CorridorThe Traffic Report: The diamond bluesThe beauty of baseball and softball is that, when you’re good, you get to enjoy it for quite a while. The Oregon baseball team played 58 regular-season games. The Oregon softball team played 64 games. The folly of those two sports is that one can be that good, for that many games, and still watch it end in the blink of an eye. For the Ducks baseball team, it was two-and-out at the Eugene Regional. For the softball team, which reached the Women’s College World Series for the first time in seven years, the Ducks lasted three game...2025-06-041h 08The I-5 CorridorThe I-5 CorridorThe Traffic Report: When cannonballs backfireRichard Wesley will not be an Oregon Duck. But don’t expect his commitment video to disappear anytime soon. You may remember Wesley as the 5-star EDGE player who signaled his commitment to Oregon earlier this month by jumping into a pool with a shirtless Dan Lanning. As it turns out, Lanning taking the shirt off his back doesn’t mean anything in today’s college football world, as Wesley decommitted from the Ducks earlier this week. Are the Ducks left in the wake of a cannonball gone wrong? Tyson and Justin discuss this...2025-05-311h 29The I-5 CorridorThe I-5 CorridorThe Traffic Report: Building the Oregon 25On this week’s episode of The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report, I needed a little help from Justin Myers. See, it’s 2025, which means there’s a lot of “Best 25 [insert noun] of the first 25 years of the century” lists going around. Notably, over at The Athletic they’ve put together lists of the top 25 coaches, players and college football teams of the 2000s. They have Chip Kelly at No. 24. They have Marcus Mariota at No. 15. And, well, I wanted to go a little deeper.

That’s Oregon State’s thing. That’s the one thing Oregon’s money couldn’t seemingly buy success over the Beavers since reinstating the program in 2009.Well, let’s go to the internet to see how that’s going:O...2025-05-011h 19The I-5 CorridorThe I-5 CorridorThe Traffic Report: Getting tech'd outWelcome back to The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report, where this week Tyson and Justin are just about done with replay.

The terms? The fourth-year Ducks coach has reportedly agreed to an amended contract that will increase his salary to nearly $11 million per year through 2031. The contract will be up for approval on Friday during a UO board of trustees meeting. What does this mean?

With the national championship coming up on Monday, we kick off this new series by transporting listeners back to January of 2011, when the Oregon Ducks and the Auburn Tigers met in Glendale, Arizona with all the Tostitos on the line.
