While the above title shouts “Ripoff!” of the 1982 Rocky movie with Clubber Lang, it has serious relevance for how Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is preparing his team for its five-game season-finishing run. It is a crucial set of games that will determine whether or not Our Beloved Ducks make the College Football Playoffs. I had to take a …
I know I have written a title like you see above every fall for the last couple of years, but this year it is much more real, with a much more daunting future than I could have imagined. Let’s look at the roster, and see if the Ducks actually have a “young” team. After I glanced over ChileDuck’s Oregon football …
Are Our Beloved Ducks the No. 1 program in all of Big-10 (B1G) sports? I had checked into this during the spring, and later heard we did well, but I wanted to investigate and report to my Duck-Buddies who read this site, and chat in the forum for us all to enjoy. I actually had to take a break from …
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 …
As you know, I enjoy pondering about Our Beloved Ducks, and do so effectively out loud between these FishDuck articles, and our free, safe forum for Oregon fans. There were grumbles after the Rose Bowl loss about our defensive shortcomings that day, and I began to cogitate on what is a reasonable goal for points being given up by Oregon’s …
With the final 2025 National Letters of Intent signed, it now makes sense to examine the football recruiting for this incoming class among the 18 teams of the Big Ten (B1G) Conference. This overview does not include Portal Transfers, as there are not as many of those each year, (Oregon has only nine for 2025) and such players are meant to …
Making the Super-Regionals two years in a row is something never done at Oregon, but making the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska is the goal. I should say that I, as a fan, am targeting the CWS, but Head Coach Mark Wasikowski (Waz) has stated that Omaha and winning a ‘Natty is his ultimate goal for Our Beloved Ducks. …
Recently the entertaining SEC propagandist, Paul Finebaum, asserted that the SEC is still the best conference, “top-to-bottom.” I’ve heard of over-the-top exaggeration before in college football, but he says it with a straight face despite how the B1G has won the last two national championships, and how the SEC was not even in the Championship games of 2023 and 2024. …
It is time. We have all discussed in the Our Beloved Ducks forum how Oregon has clearly not completely opened both the defensive and offensive playbook over the course of this 2024 season. We agreed that it made sense to save unique plays, and new sequential plays off our base plays for the Playoffs…and that time has come. To beat …
What was once an obvious choice in a discussion has now become a question to many Oregon fans. Should an expansion take place on Autzen Stadium as bantered about, or are other options better for the Oregon Athletic Department? This is a subject of pondering that pulled me away from looking into casinos.com to get the top bonus offers as …
The title might be a bit of a stretch, but these two Oregon football websites are more than just “sleepers” in the niche’. Only Dan Lanning has been a bigger surprise than FishDuck.com and the Our Beloved Ducks forum for Oregon fans, and the stunning reach to devoted Ducks. I’ve been pondering sharing these surprises with FishDuck readers, and decided …
