One-On-One: Oregon WR Joe Reitzug (1986-90)

FishDuck Staff Men of Oregon: Players and Coaches

Joe Reitzug had arguably the best hands of any receiver in UO history

Each week FishDuck.com’s Kurt Liedtke (better known as Keeerrrttt1) speaks with current/former student athletes, other FishDuck contributors, and outside experts in a one-on-one conversation–the FishDuck.com One-On-One.

This week Kurt is joined by Oregon Ducks receiving legend Joe Reitzug. Joe came to Oregon as a walk-on wide receiver in 1986 from Tacoma, WA, and found his way onto the field quickly as a valued target for legendary QB Bill Musgrave. Reitzug quickly became a fan favorite for his great hands, his ability to make unbelievable acrobatic catches, and his flair for big blocks and fearless play despite his diminutive stature.

Joe spoke with Kurt about his days as an Oregon Duck, the skills required to make acrobatic catches, his favorite games, a few memorable behind-the-scenes stories, and what Joe Reitzug is up to these days.

For the Exciting 2024 Football Season….

We will be publishing between four and six articles per week during the football season, as we skip Saturdays with all the distraction of GameDay for us. Check through the week, and in particular check for Analysis articles on most Fridays.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
