Our Oregon Ducks football program trounced Purdue as we all expected, but what some of you may not have expected was Georgia bullying Texas in their home stadium. Now, the Ducks have propelled to the top slot in the country. As the best-ranked team in the country, fanbases from all over have convened and started arguing over the top five-to-ten …
Something big is going to happen, Ducks fans. Call it good fortune, serendipity, or divine football providence. The No. 2 Oregon Ducks rolled to a 35-0 rout of the Purdue Boilermakers, easily handling their business on Friday night at Ross Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. Sure, the Boilermakers are Big Ten bottom feeders, but the Ducks (7-0) avoided the …
We are at the halfway point of the 2024 season and this new era of college football. The B1G added four West Coast teams to the league this season, and there are some clear winners in this conference expansion. The Oregon Ducks are flying high after their win over Ohio State, and the media executives at Fox and NBC couldn’t …
There has been so much written about Oregon football in the last couple of days, yet I sense there is a major element to the remainder of the season that national pundits miss. It is a combination of components that I’ve been kicking around that came to fruition after the big victory over Ohio State. I had to take a …
The Ducks peaked at just the right time in putting together their first (not perfect) complete game of the season against Ohio State. The scheduling gods were on Oregon’s side, as Duck fans were able to see improvement from week to week. Had this game been played a couple of weeks earlier, the outcome might have been much different. One …
Our Oregon Ducks football program showed out this weekend. In one of the best games in team history, this back-and-forth bout lived up to the billing. The Buckeyes were swinging for 60 minutes, but the Ducks swung just a little bit harder and won Dan Lanning’s biggest win in his short tenure at Oregon so far. As for the team’s shining stars, …
After years of heartbreaking defeats and losing the “Big One” over and over, a midseason Big Ten matchup proved the game that would silence years of criticism, fair and unfair, against the Ducks. With the eyes of the nation upon Autzen Stadium on Saturday night, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks changed the narrative, defeating No. 2 Ohio State 32-31 to …
I had no sweat coming into this week with Oregon’s game versus Ohio State. This was not a make-or-break situation like it was under a four-team playoff, as we could make the CFB Playoff with a loss, so this game was a classic good-or-good kind of result. But I had to interrupt my fun at sweepstakes casinos to consider some …
Conferences are in charge of hiring, training, and assigning their referees to games. This is a dated approach that hasn’t changed in college football. It creates inconsistency among the conferences’ referees and leads to often inconsistent calls and drastically different ways of interpreting the same rules. Mr. FishDuck took some time away from his fun at stay casino 20 free …
After the tough loss in Seattle last year, the teeth were gnashing in Eugene about some fourth down-short yardage play calls by Oregon Offensive Coordinator Will Stein. While it was true that quarterback Bo Nix missed an open receiver in one of those plays, the focus of the blame from the Duck fans were directed at Oregon’s young OC. In …
The Ohio State-Oregon game will be the B1G version of Georgia-Alabama. It is a battle of conference heavyweights that should set the tone for the rest of the season. If the Ducks play like they did against Michigan State, with a strong defensive performance, good ground game, and flashes of passing brilliance, they can win if Dillon Gabriel can make …
Having picked up three wins from their first three games, albeit their opening two victories not being the most comprehensive, the Oregon Ducks are well placed when it comes to the betting odds for the Big Ten Conference. Dan Lanning’s team held off Idaho and Boise State in the first two games of the season in a rather sedate fashion …
