Special Thanks

I wish to give special credit and thanks to ESPN, ABC, CBS, FOX, Comcast, and Versus companies/networks for the telecasts that provide these images for pictures and short videos. Closely studying Oregon football brings more fans to their production/product and builds a greater appreciation and interest in their product by so many more fans due to the basic tenets of Oregon football presented here. I personally thank them for that opportunity to learn and enjoy their product that much more!

Charles Fischer has been an intense fan of the Ducks for thirty years and has written reports on football boards for over a dozen years. Known as “FishDuck” on those boards, he is acknowledged for providing intense detail in his scrimmage reports and in his Xs and Os play analyses. He and his wife Lois, a daughter, Christine, and their dog (Abbie) reside in Eugene, Oregon, where he has been a financial advisor for 27 years serving clients in seven different states. He does not profess to be a coach or analyst, but simply a “hack” that enjoys sharing what he has learned and invites others to correct or add to this body of Oregon Football!
