Oregon Apologizes for Foul Ducks: Oregon officials have apologized to UCLA, freshman center Kevin Love and his family for inappropriate behavior by the university’s fans last week during the Ducks’ 80-75 loss to the Bruins. Oregon fans apparently have not forgiven Love for leaving the state to attend Pac-10 rival UCLA, and they hurled homophobic insults at Love and his family, who attended the game. Love’s father played for the Ducks in the 1970s. UCLA coach Ben Howland and Love said they appreciated the gestures by Oregon officials. [1/29/08]
