The Traffic Report: The champagne problems of Oregon football

Nov 14 2024 63 mins

The Oregon Ducks are undefeated. They haven’t lost since December and, frankly, haven’t even flirted with defeat in more than a month. They’re No. 1 in the country — and they’re the team whose last few wins are being skipped over in the national discussion and needled a bit locally. Every week can’t be the Ohio State game, which is why in this week’s Traffic Report, J

The Traffic Report: Riding in the carpool lane

Nov 08 2024 49 mins

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to a new(ish) era of The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report. For the rest of the football season, I’ll be joined by friend of the show Justin Myers, who will bring his Oregon football insight, history and much better broadcasting skills to this program weekly. This week, we begin by talking about why that’s possible before getting into a discussio

The Traffic Report: A clean break from Chip

Oct 18 2024 26 mins

For the last decade, even as Oregon reached a national championship game under Mark Helfrich and won a Rose Bowl under Mario Cristobal, it’s felt like the UO program had still been chasing the ghost of the Chip Kelly era. The coolness. The popularity. The branding. The dominance. But after Saturday’s win against Ohio State, that era is finally beginning to feel like a long time

The Traffic Report: The Buckeyes are finally here

Oct 09 2024 53 mins

This one has been in the works for a long time. The Ohio State and Oregon home-and-home series was initially announced in October of 2012. The Ducks and Buckeyes would play in Eugene in 2020 and Columbus in 2021. And of course, it didn’t happen that way. But now, as conference rivals, the No. 2 Buckeyes will finally make their trip out to Eugene for the first top-5, top-4, top-3

The Traffic Report: Aidan Schneider returns

Oct 03 2024 33 mins

A lot has happened in Aidan Schneider’s life in the last year. The former Oregon kicker has moved. He’s gotten married. And he’s lately found himself in the heart of Husky country as a new Seattle resident. After way too long of a layoff, Aidan rejoined the Traffic Report on Thursday to catch up, reminisce about playing in that Michigan State game from 10 years ago and talk a

The Traffic Report: Catching up on a big week for Portland sports and previewing UCLA with Justin Myers

Sep 25 2024 53 mins

So, a bit has happened around Portland in the last week. The city landed a WNBA team, the Portland Diamond Project dangled its latest carrot and the Blazers announced they’ll be broadcasting their games over the air. Justin Myers and I got together to talk about it all in our latest Traffic Report. Then, it’s on to UCLA — a program that Myers says, much like Tuesday, has no f

The Traffic Report: Jerry Allen on the new era for the Ducks and Beavers

Sep 11 2024 35 mins

Really fun Traffic Report out today. I spent 40 minutes with UO broadcaster Jerry Allen inside the Hatfield Dowlin-Complex, diving into what this week’s game against Oregon State means, why he initially hated his “Kenny Wheaton is going to score” call and that time he got mad at Mike Jorgensen for hiding under a table. For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or f

The Traffic Report: Hello Boise, goodbye Shane

Sep 05 2024 49 mins

In this week’s episode of The I-5 Corridor’s Traffic Report, Tyson and Shane recap Oregon’s opening weekend against Idaho, take a look ahead to Boise State and wonder what exactly happened to DJU down in Tallahassee. Then, it’s the Shane Hoffmann exit interview. Tyson grills Shane on his favorite stories, interviews, places to eat and moments in Oregon before his move down

The Traffic Report: Putting a bow on the Olympics with Andrew Greif

Aug 16 2024 31 mins

Andrew Greif saw Raygun happen in person. That should be good enough on its own to carry this week’s podcast, but our longtime friend of the pod stops by to share some of his other favorite moments from covering the last two weeks in Paris. Greif breaks down Cole Hocker’s win in the 1500m, Noah Lyles’ gold and silver medals and, yes, what exactly happened during that breakdan

The Traffic Report: The Hoff's final ride

Aug 07 2024 35 mins

In this week’s Traffic Report, Shane Hoffmann returns to the podcast desk to talk with Tyson Alger about Cole Hocker’s run to Gold, why he thinks college football’s regular season means more in the 12-team playoff and…his upcoming move to California. In more important news, Tyson gives his review of Twisters. For more, listen to this podcast in the player above or find us o
