Most of the writers seem to be more interested in a personal agenda rather than informative, unbiased articles. If you didn't know it was an Oregon paper, you might think it was the newspaper from a rival school/state.
The truth about those workouts is that it happens more than gets reported. Several players came out afterward and said the workouts were not as strenuous as portrayed in some articles and they actually implied that the players who were hospitalized should have been in better shape. Not as sensational of a story in reality, but that's obviously not their m.o. Players throw up and faint all the time, not that it's right, but it happens frequently. These guys obviously had a different, more severe reaction. But the biggest overreaction came because of the articles. Too many people believe whatever they read in newspapers like it's all true, like the newspapers are more reliable for whatever reason. But most Duck fans will tell you that a majority of articles about the U of O have a slant against them. One example was last year when the generalization of most stories about Altman and Tinkle was that Altman was on his way out and Tinkle had OSU headed in the right direction. Typical bias around here.
