From the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex at University of Oregon for FishDuck.com… Three days out from the 2014 edition of the Civil War, Ducks head coach Mark Helfrich discussed the upcoming game, one of the oldest — and fiercest — rivalries in college football. On the Beavers As we jostled for position at this morning’s media scrum, one of my colleagues pointed …
Oregon fought hard, but could not prevail over 14th ranked Virginia Commonwealth Tuesday night in Brooklyn at the Legends Classic Basketball Tournament. The Rams tried to turn the game into a rout, but the Ducks continued to stay close despite some fans chanting, “Just Give Up!” Dillon Brooks had 15 points and Elgin Cook posted 11 points for Oregon as …
Football Recruiting Visits Oregon’s thunderous 44-10 win over a hapless Colorado squad gave all in attendance something to remember. Among the onlookers, top-ranked JUCO linebacker Davon Durant (4-Star/El Dorado, KS) came away with a new twist in his recruitment. “The visit was everything I expected,” said Durant. “I knew there would be nice stuff but that isn’t why I went. Oregon …
If you were an Oregon fan watching the College Football Playoff show — you were very bored. How fortunate if you missed it as you had a more productive half-hour than mine! Oregon was barely even mentioned–and that to me states volumes in what was NOT said, and can generate some thoughts from us fans about our “invisible” status. My …
For an offense that’s supposed to be using a running back-by-committee approach, it’s fair to say Royce Freeman is the committee chair. The Freshman phenom is well on his way to placing his name among other Oregon greats at the RB position, as the 230 pounder from Imperial, CA has already broken LaMichael James’ freshman TD record with 16 on …
This morning I spoke with Tony Washington in the post-practice press conference for FishDuck.com at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. It’s the week we all wait for every year, the week we all rep our green and yellow more than usual and probably one of the most hostile weeks in Oregon from Eugene to Corvallis. It’s the week leading up to the …
You might not know it if you didn’t live in the great northwest, but the Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State has become one of the premiere rivalry games in college football.

The regular season is winding down to its last week, and the state of Oregon is preparing for a yearly tradition that has taken place since 1894: The Civil War. Although Oregon State hasn’t enjoyed the same level of success as their rival in Eugene in recent years, the Civil War is always one of the most anticipated events in …
The Ducks had a rough first half against #19 Michigan in their semifinal game of the Progressive Legends Classic tournament. A penalty on the tip, originally won by Oregon, gave the ball to the Michigan offense. Michigan Sophomore Zak Irvin knocked down a three to put the Wolverines up and they led the entire first half until Dillon Brooks went …
The weekend is finally approaching. The last game of the regular season. A game that can change it all. A game that many call the “not so civil” war, Ducks vs Beavers. If you can remember last year’s game, the Ducks came out on top in a nail biter 36-35 on a last minute pass in the end zone from …
After Saturday’s manhandling of Colorado the Ducks are preparing for their final regular season game against the hated Beavers. Senior cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu is looking forward to his fourth and final appearance in the Civil War. Caleb Couturie of FishDuck.com was at the Hatfield Dowlin Complex to talk to the All-American senior about the rivalry and how he is getting …
Hroniss Grasu was down, Doug Brenner got the call in the Utah game, and yet there was Hamani Stevens on Oregon’s opening drive snapping the ball to Marcus Mariota. More importantly Stevens, who hadn’t played center since his senior year of high school, played admirably in the Ducks’ romp over Colorado. Today I got a chance to talk to Stevens …
