About Tyson Alger
That’s me.
I’m from Alaska, went to school in Montana and have been making the commute from Portland to Eugene to cover Oregon and Pac-12 sports since 2014 for The Oregonian and then The Athletic.
I covered every game of Marcus Mariota’s Heisman-winning season, was there when a scrawny kid from Eugene with “Herbert” on his back made his debut out on the Palouse and chronicled Mario Cristobal’s conference-altering tenure with the Ducks.
This is mostly going to be an outlet to keep telling stories about those Ducks, with in-depth features, analysis and profiles on the coaches and players that make up the West Coast’s premier football program.
