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 …
The changes in college football has left us behind what the coaches are thinking and doing, and often as fans we are catching up to the new ways of thinking in the Portal/NIL era. It has been gradual, but over the last two seasons my opinion about quarterback recruiting and roster management has changed due to what the Ducks have …
I have to say that I was surprised by the results of the B1G recruiting for the 2025 class. Yes, there are some who will be signed in the February period, but over 90% of recruiting is done, and it was quite interesting to see the breakdown in Oregon’s new conference. I even had to take time away from my …
It is always fun to see new plays introduced over the course of the season, and to occasionally get some commentary about them from the TV analysts covering the games. We witnessed a new play against the Huskies in the first drive that was fun to watch develop, and then see what the analysts had to say about it, but …
The more the history of Washington Husky Athletics becomes known to the members of the B1G, the more likely they will begin to regret their invitation to Montlake. Yes, the conference will take the additional revenue generated by the Seattle market, but the sordid history of the Men of Washington is embarrassing to all. Fortunately, the Hapless Husky men are …
Who is the most crucial defender, the most important position in the Dan Lanning 4-2-5 MINT defense? How much emphasis does the coaching staff give this spot, and how far is Oregon from accomplishing their goals at recruiting and coaching this position? I took some time from my interest in online betting and casino fun to ponder these questions about …
For those of us who are Greybeard age, we recall 30-35 years ago when Washington was a perennial power and crunching Oregon at every turn. I recall an ugly Husky fan calling to tell me to, “just combine Oregon and Oregon State, and maybe then you will have a respectable number of wins.” Good gosh, the disrespect! But what could …
Just the words of “Bend-But-Don’t-Break Defense” gets some Oregon fans angry. They did not like it a dozen years ago when Nick Aliotti employed it successfully during our first ‘Natty runner-up showing, and were not happy to see it continued in the second ‘Natty runner-up season after he retired. I paused from my research for a good car accident lawyer …
My many Duck-Buddies…I know I should not be looking ahead, but I did so in order to provide perspective on how experienced and savvy this 2024 Oregon Football team is. Doing so made me wince and cringe, as I realized that I had better enjoy this special 2024 football season, because next year appears to be a major rebuilding effort …
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 …
