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 …
The Pain of Being a Superfan
This last loss has hurt more than any other loss I can recall, and when I came to write this article I reflected on a video from It’s OK to be Smart entitled The Strange Psychology of Superfans. I highly suggest that everyone watches it, because it is telling in just what makes us tick. During the video they go …
The Oregon Duck Offense: Will Stein’s Top 5 Play Designs in First Season
The Oregon Ducks will end the 2023 regular season as the nation’s No. 2 offense, according to ESPN — and offense that racked up 527 yards of offense and 44 points per game.

Heartbreak for the Ducks in Vegas
It was all on the line for Oregon on Friday night in Las Vegas, and they blew it. Not showing up for the first quarter was a pretty bad start. Being down 20-3 was never going to lead to an easy win. But the Ducks had a shot in this one. Oregon went up 24-20 with 1:51 left in the third …
Oregon Ducks Football: Huskies Being Underestimated?
Our Oregon Ducks football team has been on a historic run to the PAC-12 Championship in 2023, as Oregon stands primed and ready for a rematch with their rival Huskies. They have a potential Heisman winner across from them in quarterback Michael Penix Jr., flanked by Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan, while Oregon has their very own Bo Nix right in the Heisman race as …
Has Pac-12 Cannibalism Struck Again?
The Pac-12 started this season with a whopping six teams ranked in the AP poll, and peaked at Week 4 with eight. This didn’t last, as Week 4 was the beginning of conference play, and though the Pac-12 may not be the best conference, it surely is the most competitive from top to bottom. The football season is long and …
Oregon’s Strange Red Zone Problem
Down the stretch this season, Oregon’s offense has been on an absolute tear. Heisman hopeful Bo Nix has put up ridiculous numbers. Perhaps the most telling is his 78-percent completion rate, which is the best in college football history. However, Oregon does have a strange problem in the red zone — and it isn’t the kicking game. When the Ducks …
Dan’s Ducks Destroy Dam Dwellers
It feels nice, doesn’t it? Certainty, that is. The Ducks throttled the Beavers on Friday night, with no Pac 12 after dark vibes to speak of.

Will the Oregon Ducks Face Michigan in the Rose Bowl?
Bryan Fischer of Fox Sports posted his bowl projections this week, as Washington notably doesn’t crack the College Football Playoff, and our Oregon Ducks football program catapults into a matchup with Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Now, ahead of our rivalry game this Friday against the Oregon State Beavers, these predictions may feel a bit erroneous. Still, it’s a fun …
Beavers are Over-Valued, Over-Paid, Ungrateful and Unaccountable
I am sick of the pretentious articles by John Canzano and other writers who portray the Beavers as the aggrieved party in the Pac-12 dissolution, painting them as noble heroes fighting a righteous battle as the little guy against the Genghis horde of ten other Pac-12 programs. It is wrong, and it is emblematic of modern day journalism that presents …
