Tyler Shough is the only player since Marcus Mariota to start in multiple seasons for Oregon after not starting as a true freshman. Sure, Mariota is the greatest Oregon Duck of all time, but he left the team nine years ago, and during that time only Shough has pulled off what seems to be a pretty simple feat? So what has happened during …
Troy Franklin has officially declared for the NFL Draft, and it’s time for one of the Ducks’ best to ever line up outside the numbers to go pro. Expectations couldn’t be higher, and it’s as good a time as ever for Oregon to finally have a true No. 1 receiver in the NFL. Now, we all might think extremely highly of …
Offensive coordinator Will Stein introduced a number of plays to the Oregon Ducks offense this season that made it one of the most formidable units in the nation. Much of what Coach Stein does from a passing game standpoint comes from the West Coast Offense, which utilizes horizontal and quick passes to force the defense to adjust before taking a …
Bowl season is here and below are my straight up predictions for all the games except for one — that’s right, the Fiesta Bowl. I am so uninterested in this game that I literally just yawned as I typed “Fiesta Bowl.” Even Mr. FishDuck had some words about the bowl as he was having fun on a brand new independent …
Our Oregon Ducks football team has had some major movement at the quarterback position over the past week. Bo Nix was a Heisman finalist just this past weekend, and it looked like former four-star quarterback Ty Thompson may have been in the driver’s seat to take on the next starting job at Oregon. Unfortunately for Thompson, the Ducks’ staff thought otherwise …
Yesterday we looked at the background of Oregon Womens Basketball and what brought us up to this moment. So that brings us to the case at hand. Oregon Women’s Head Basketball Coach, Kelly Graves. He was 66-26 in his three years at St. Mary’s. (CA.) He then completely turned around the Gonzaga program and it became a national powerhouse. He won …
There are losses and then, well, there are losses. As a fan of Oregon Women’s basketball, I have had concerns for some time now per the health of the program. But losing to the Portland Pilots? By 91-60? I can be pretty doom-and-gloom, but I wasn’t ready for that one. About all you can say is props to the Pilots. …
Dillon Gabriel, you are an Oregon Duck. The Oregon QB room looked shake on Saturday morning. Bo Nix will be starting his NFL journey after coming in 3rd place in Heisman voting and hopefully winning the Ducks a Fiesta Bowl. Other than that, Oregon didn’t have any players on the roster with a start logged after high school. But on December …
The 2023 selection of four teams to compete for the title of College Football National Championship, and the included placement of eight teams into four New Year’s Bowl games has met with a cacophony of responses from football fans nationwide, a few of which responders are posters to our wonderful “forum with decorum.” Vandownbytheriverduck says: “Thi$ committee is a joke. …
OK, Oregon lost twice to UDub, lost twice to a coach, Kalen DeBoer, who is now 9-0 versus Top 25 opponents. Including the three wins by a total of six points against Oregon, UW won eight games this season against bowl-eligible teams, and two wins against now No. 8 Oregon. Won on the road against No. 14 Arizona, No. 19. …
Though the Ducks came up short, the best Pac-12 Championship Game ever featured the two schools who were afterthoughts to the B1G in the realignment game. While USC — the only team the B1G wanted but had to take UCLA — was exposed as a total fraud in limping to a 7-5 record. The fact that USC was so vehemently …
Our Oregon Ducks football team had a glorious regular season that still has a Fiesta Bowl appearance on the horizon, and tons of new recruiting talent on the way. But as the regular season closes, it’s time to take a look back on the Ducks’ season, finding our favorite plays of a year to remember. Dan Lanning led a spectacular team …
