Football season is finally here.

Tyson Alger and Justin Myers close the book on Oregon’s fall camp and take a look at what’s ahead for the Ducks in 2026. How much can we really learn from a schedule in the transfer portal era? Which games should Oregon fans actually be worried about? And has Oregon reached the point where a national championship is the only thing left to accomplish?

They dig into the baggage that comes with Boise State, circle USC, Nebraska, Illinois and the brutal November stretch, wonder what exactly happened to the aura of Chip Kelly and debate some of the most consequential inches in Oregon football history.

Plus: Costco complaints, dangerously hot Mexican restaurant plates, the rules surrounding half-eaten office donuts, a plea to stop saying “spill the tea” and a small tease of Tyson’s 800-mile attempt to understand Dan Lanning.

It’s the final Traffic Report before Week 1.

Tyson Alger and Justin Myers are deep into the doldrums of fall camp, where the dock is far behind, the island isn’t any closer and the content machine still has to be fed. After a quick detour into concert-ticket panic and a YouTube comment calling out their “bro talk,” the guys dive into the story that briefly set Oregon Twitter on fire: the rumored collarbone injury to running back Jordon Davison.

It's Week 2 of fall camp and the Pac-12 is looking a little different than it used to.

Tyson and Justin get into new Oregon State coach JaMarcus Shephard’s pretty blunt message to Beaver fans, what “sticking with us through adversity” actually means and whether fans really want coaches to be honest with them.

On the Oregon side, they zoom out on Dan Lanning and the national-title-or-bust expectations surrounding the Ducks, how coaches handle pressure when the cameras are on and Tyson shares a few special teams notes from camp.

Then it’s Mariners baseball — where the vibes are nowhere to be found and Ichiro is still the coolest person alive — and Justin taking a landscaping flyer far more personally than anyone should.

Tyson Alger and Justin Myers kick off August with fall camp in full swing and a fake controversy leading the Oregon news cycle: Dylan Raiola’s perfectly standard “I like it here better” transfer quote somehow becomes a national talking point.

From there, they zoom out on college football’s weirder traditions: Do we actually still need the coaches’ poll? Are conference media days useful, or just content cosplay and an excuse for writers to expense a trip? Is all the “culture/chemistry/retreat” talk any different from what every other program is doing?

Then the good stuff: Bend vs. the coast, what it’s like to be a civilian at a packed Zach Bryan show at Autzen (fireworks and all), and the emotional journey of being awarded — and then mentally defending — a coveted work parking spot.

The World Cup is over. Whatever will we do?

Oh right, this is a football podcast. So this week, we're back on football -- with a slight turn toward the end about the billionaire trying to ruin our basketball team.

Tyson Alger and Justin Myers mourn the end of the USA’s World Cup run and ask the big question: Didn't we do this a couple of years ago with Colorado? They relive the wild scene in Seattle, debate why decades of MLS growth still haven’t moved the needle for Team USA on the global stage then pivot to the most American thing possible: Big 12 Media Days. They break down the now-infamous “tortillas vs. noisemakers” question, imagine a world where each school can ban one rival tradition (goodbye chainsaw, shout, and dotting the i), and share war stories about asking long, winding questions in press conferences while a coach quietly sharpens the knives.

Ja Morant is a Portland Trail Blazer. OK, then. On this week's Traffic Report, Tyson and Justin digest that news, then dig a bit into LeBron's next stop, the World Cup, the Savannah Bananas at Autzen and what it would take for Oregon to have a Joey Harrington-billboard-like cultural moment again.

Tyson is back from the World Cup to debrief Justin on USA/Australia, crossing the border and the reason why Americans are finally following the world's game.

The World Cup is here. Tyson is excited, Justin is doing his best, and on this week's Traffic Report, the two preview the upcoming tournament and reminisce about the last time the U.S. hosted in 1994. Then, it's on to Brennan Scorsbey, Texas Tech and the college football scandal de jour.

The Oregon Ducks are on to the Super Regional in Austin after a sweep through the Eugene Regional -- and Oregon State. Tyson and Justin discuss what this means in this week's I-5 Corridor Traffic Report.
