Our Oregon football program took a massive blow this offseason, losing Evan Stewart for the foreseeable future as WR1. We took some time post-injury to evaluate who would step up as WR1 now, since Stewart was a massive downfield asset for stretching defenses and allotting Dillon Gabriel time in the pocket last year. Dakorien Moore is a reasonable answer down the road, just …
For me, June is a favorite time of year as the summer is kicking in, concerts are aplenty, and I know we have three months of nice weather to enjoy as we slide into football season. It is easy to predict the best possible regular season outcome for the Ducks. That would be 12-0. Which, if the Ducks execute and …
Oregon is getting beat on the recruiting trail pretty badly this off-season. It’s been ages since the program has had a major win. It appears that Dan Lanning and Oregon’s main NIL cooperative, Division Street, may be changing their strategy, with a greater focus on spending NIL dollars in the transfer portal rather than on high school recruits. Mr. FishDuck …
A surprising ten players from Oregon were picked in the 2025 NFL Draft last month, the most over the last 10 drafts. It was thrilling for Duck fans to see two players were picked in the first round, defensive tackle Derrick Harmon to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21, and offensive tackle Josh Conley Jr. to the Washington Commanders at …
This is not a conversation I wanted to have about Oregon football in June. In case you missed it, Evan Stewart is expected to miss most (if not all) of the 2025 season due to a torn patellar tendon. Following the injury, he addressed Duck fans with this message: “Don’t put a timeline on me.” As someone who believed in …
Even with Saint Nick Saban co-chairing the newly formed Commission on College Athletics, I don’t believe Congress is prepared to ride in and fix what ails college athletics. Even Mr. FishDuck is skeptical, and took a break from his study at FanDuel betting, and Ncaaf latest news to share his doubts with me. College sports need NFL-like Congressional relief from …
In 2024 Oregon head coach Dan Lanning seemed to have broken football. He found ways to exploit rules to his advantage, and the result was not one but two B1G blue bloods going down to the new blood Ducks. While one of these exploits got the most media attention as it resulted in a one-point win over the eventual National …
Back in 1981, Video Killed the Radio Star was the very first music video ever played on MTV. It represented a big change in the way media was absorbed and signaled a huge shift in the music industry. The transfer portal has done the same to college football regarding how teams acquire players. Even Mr. FishDuck had to take a …
Duck Nation, buckle up and grab your rally hats — it’s postseason mayhem in Eugene, where both the Oregon softball and baseball teams are storming into the national spotlight, wings flapping, bats blazing, and dreams of Omaha and Oklahoma City coming true. Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at non-GamStop game providers for UK users and his time …
The NCAA has a new slate of rules for 2025. I am going to summarize what these rules mean for the game and then give them a rating between 1 and 5 where 1 will be awful for the game and a 5 should be an amazing addition. ESPN published an article reviewing these new rules, which can be found …
Each year it becomes more evident that the talent level and experience on the defensive line at Oregon is becoming even deeper over the offensive line, and this year’s eleven sacks in the Spring Game confirmed that assertion. We are familiar with many of the names that have been waiting their turn on the defensive line, but the 2025 Oregon …
Want to see something new about Our Beloved Ducks from the Oregon Spring Game? Yes, there have been tons of summary articles written about it, but I thought I’d share a slight adjustment I noted in the game that I had not noticed before to this degree. I had to take a break from my interesting study of Organic THCA …
