The font is Melior. Oregon's branding is done by Nike, which took over from Disney. Thanks to @jweise from Books By Chance for ID'ing it.

Know your foe - Oregon has all the rest you'd need to know.

The Oregonian is hosted on OregonLive.com, which will be familiar to you if you have seen or suffered through MLive. They print a charming Ann Arbor, for uninitiated which name-checks Bob Seger, Iggy Pop, the MC5, Gerald Ford, Robert Frost, Arthur Miller, Bob Ufer, Fielding H. Yost, Fritz Crisler, Don Canham and Bo Schembechler.

The pull quote is

With its tree-lined streets, coffee shops and jaywalking, it's not unlike Eugene -- if Eugene lacked mountains and had a much bigger football stadium.

Awesome Twitter coverage of the game.

@osmedd: Game over, Oregon 39, Michigan 7. And so ends the Michigan season for all intents and purposes.

@peterhoneyman this game is mercifully over. 7-39. it's official: michagan sucks.

@srah If this year is bad, next year will be worse: No Hart, new QB and - presumably - new coach.

@toddmundt i'm wearing an Iowa shirt today. way to go Michigan :(

@argedee: Bo and Four

A roundup from the sports blogs:

FanIQ: Oregon Ducks Embarrass Lloyd Carr, Michigan Wolverines 39-7

Lloyd Carr is going to be lucky if he makes it through the season ... alive. I realize the Wolverines lost some key starters to the NFL, but a defense this bad is unacceptable. The amount of missed tackles is only eclipsed by the number of boos. Even worse, an offense that has no excuses for not being explosive could only muster 7 points? What is going in A-squared?

Ann Arbor News: U-M falls to Oregon, 39-7

A week after Appalachian State's upset made Michigan the nation's laughingstock, the Wolverines didn't do anything to redeem themselves Saturday against Oregon.

Quo Vadimus, Michigan Loses to Oregon -- Unbelievable, Yet Entirely Predictable

Michigan has now lost four in a row dating back to last season, having lost each game since Bo Schembechler's death before the Ohio State game last year, and are completely lost, on every level.

Here’s some halftime analysis from our beat writers. But if you’re looking for a good laugh to cheer you up, go and read some our pre-game predictions (cough) Bromwich (cough).

I'll leave @bkerr with the final word: OREGON
