The I-5 Corridor's Traffic Report

On this week's I-5 Corridor Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin take a look at the first College Football Playoff rankings and see how the Oregon Ducks stack up as they enter the final month of the season. Is Saturday against Iowa a must-win? We think so.

This week on The I-5 Corridor's Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin talk about the 18-innings of baseball madness in the World Series, dry out after Saturday's monsoon at Autzen, catch up on what happened with Chauncey Billups and the Blazers and dive into the state of Oregon's backup QB position. (Sorry for the late Wednesday posting, folks. Got tied up today.)

This week's I-5 Corridor Traffic Report begins with the heartbreak of the Mariners' Game 7 loss to Toronto in the ALCS. It ends with talk of the Grateful Dead, Tie-dye and whether or not we just don't get it. And in the middle, the two dissect Oregon's 56-10 beating of Rutgers.

The Oregon Ducks are undefeated no more. After a disappointing loss to Indiana last week, Tyson and Justin take a look at the challenging road ahead for a team that still has everything to play for. Plus: Tyson's review of Game 3 of the ALCS and the two talk about a wildcard of an Oregon State coaching candidate.

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 happened to Penn State against UCLA and enjoy the moment of an unexpected Mariners’ playoff run. For m...

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 review of Pittsburgh — a great American city. For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or f...

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 thoughts about Oregon and Penn State before the White Out sets in over in State College. For more, listen to...

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, coming off a bye, looking for revenge after its 2024 Big Ten Championship Game loss. It’s as big of a road...

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 Corridor Traffic Report, Tyson Alger and Justin Myers wonder just how much of a rivalry will be left t...

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 how good this Oregon team could be. For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us ov...

One game down, and there are no apparent issues for an Oregon Ducks football team that thumped Montana State 59-13 on Saturday in the season opener. Tyson Alger and Justin Myers break down what they liked, what they still need to see and more in this week's episode of The I-5 Corridor's Traffic Report. Then they dive into the comment war between Mike Gundy and Dan Lanning and close with Justin's b...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve made it. Eight long months have passed since the Oregon Ducks’ football season came to an end in Pasadena. In the time since we’ve seen portal additions, headlining returns, position battles and a new mantra from a team that spent half of 2024 ranked No. 1: Double Down. Do we think the Ducks can run it back in 2025? Tyson and Justin discuss on this week’s I-5 Corridor T...

The I-5 Corridor Traffic Report is back to break down the biggest sports story in Oregon this week — OK, so maybe we recorded this before the Blazers news dropped on Wednesday. However, Tyson and Justin do touch on the changes happening here at The I-5 Corridor, share their thoughts on college football coaches’ injury policies, recap Ichiro’s Hall of Fame weekend in Seattle and then Justin shares...

All season, the Portland Timbers’ fan base has been desperate for the front office to make a move to bolster the team’s run to the postseason. All season, the Seattle Mariners’ fan base has been desperate for the front office to make a move to bolster the team’s run to the postseason. Well, the Mariners didn’t just make one move, they made two. Same with the Portland Timbers. And now, Tyson and Ju...

Welcome back to The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report. 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 Mariner...

This week on The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report , Tyson and Justin revisit some dorm horror stories, wonder why The Athletic doesn’t find much value in Oregon’s football rivalries , outline trophy etiquette, discuss the Pre Classic and dive deep into Justin’s disdain for backup cameras. For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us over on Apple or Spotify. Programming note: As I...

It’s the Fourth, but allow us to take you back to Halloween of 2009 on today’s episode of The I-5 Corridor Traffic Report’s Replayables. 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 Carro...

This 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. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.i-5corridor.com

We’re still a little more than two months away from the start of the 2025 college football season, but we’ve hit the part of the offseason where folks are feeling a bit celebratory. 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, O...

The 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....

Richard 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 decommitte...

On 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...

It’s happening. The Portland Trail Blazers are up for sale. And no, Phil Knight isn’t interested. In this week’s Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin dive into what this means for the franchise and the city. They also recap Sabrina’s return to Eugene, talk far too long about the merits of In-N-Out versus Burgerville and finish up with the one thing Justin just can’t stand about modern television. For...

The Oregon Ducks are on a bit of a cold streak. Yes, here on May 8, UO’s 2026 football recruiting class is ranked 21st in the country. And yes, the Ducks have recently watched other schools like Georgia, USC, Ohio State and Washington reel in fish Oregon thought it had on the line. Is the sky falling in Eugene? On this week’s episode of The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin are here...

It’s been a tough couple of years for our friends in Corvallis, with conference realignment making it challenging for Oregon State to keep up with Oregon regarding revenue sports such as football and basketball. But while the Ducks are lapping it up in the Big Ten, the one thing the Beavers have held onto is baseball. That’s Oregon State’s thing. That’s the one thing Oregon’s money couldn’t seemin...
