It does not seem we have seen this rendition of Oregon football play its best ball. Which begs the question: Will they? Here are some ramblings as I stew over Oregon’s upcoming Orange Bowl appearance against Texas Tech… The Second Half Letdown Against JMU I am not going to overreact to what happened to the Ducks in the second half …
It is my belief that if this season is to be considered a “success,” the Ducks must at least advance to the CFP semifinals. Even Mr. FishDuck took a moment from his fun at no KYC betting sites to agree with my standards. Here are my thoughts on all potential outcomes: A First-Round Loss The only way the Ducks could …
…in the name of keeping my B1G/Oregon Ducks homer mentality in check, if the Ducks were in the same position as the Irish, I would say the same thing. The Art of Becoming a “No-Brainer” Regarding the NCAA basketball tournament, I laugh out loud (which means “LOL”) when teams on the bubble claim to be getting screwed over by the …
It is that time of year, here are a few reasons why the Ducks are in a better position to make a run at the national championship than last year… They Have a Loss Having a loss creates a built-in reminder to the Ducks of what will happen if they do not bring their “A” game. Indiana gives Dan Lanning …
For the past several decades, the Oregon State Beavers have been Oregon’s in-state rival and proverbial “little brother.” The Beavers have had stretches where they were just no competition for big brother. They had stretches where they were very challenging for Big Brother. But, ultimately, they could never overtake Big Brother. Their path to challenging Big Brother often resembled a …
There is very little that makes Oregon fans happier than ruining USC’s season. With a victory over the Trojans, the Ducks will help pad their playoff resume while simultaneously destroying whatever chance USC had to make the playoffs. Our Mr. FishDuck was at https://worldpokerdeals.com/rakeback-deals/best-poker-sites to study the best online poker sites, when he stopped briefly to rage about his feelings …
Last Sunday, as I read through all of my go to college football websites to recap Saturday’s action, I came across this point from The Athletic’s college football insider Stewart Mandel: “Finally, if you’re about age 45 and older, you remember when Oregon State was a decades-long punching bag in the old Pac-8/10, before rising up in the late ’90s …
2025 is priming up to be a coaching carousel, the likes of which we have never seen. Many of Oregon’s opponents might make a change, which, of course, could affect the Ducks moving forward. UW’s Jed Fisch has ties to UCLA. If he bolts to the Bruins, will the Huskies replace him with a winner or a loser? Lincoln Riley …
Ever since Mike Bellotti was able to recruit mega-donor “Uncle” Phil Knight 30 years ago into the Oregon fold, no “outsider” has won the national championship. When I say “outsider,” I mean a program that is either not a traditional blue-blood program, or at least lacking a rich football history. Tennessee in 1998 is maybe the low man on the …
The B1G. Outside of having three teams ranked in the Top 6, the rest of the conference is mediocre to bad. The conference is currently the very definition of “top-heavy.” Michigan and Illinois are flirting at the bottom of the Top 25, but they have a low ceiling. Even our Mr. FishDuck took a break from his study of the …
Hopefully, when you first gazed upon the featured photo above of the Indiana Hoosiers partying it up at Autzen Stadium, it has fueled something within your soul. Oregon’s loss to Indiana last Saturday better dang well be fueling the Oregon football team. It sure has our Mr. FishDuck taking a moment from his gaming fun with Crusino Casino no deposit …
An up-and-coming program, little to no historical success, riding high on the strength of a high-powered offense. Just put some flashy (sometimes ugly) uniforms on the Indiana Hoosiers, and the Oregon Ducks are looking at the late 2000s version of themselves. 2007 was Chip Kelly’s first year as the Oregon offensive coordinator, and he took the Ducks’ offensive from very …
