Off-Season Surprises that Bode Well for the OREGON OFFENSE

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Admit it — after the bowl game, weren’t you were worried about the future of the Oregon offense? I was and I wrote about it, as did retired college coach and former Oregon player, Ken Woody. It was an ugly showing that got us all wondering, but as you know about me — I truly spend a disproportionate amount of time …

The Stunning Cristobal Recruiting that DOES NOT COUNT

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Photo above of Elkanah “Kano” Dillon by Dennis Akers of SoFloBulls.com I know you are rolling your eyes at that title, and newer readers to the site would probably accuse me of “clickbait,” and while there is some merit to that — the rest of you know my shtick. I write something semi-outrageous and then go about backing up the …

Join Former Oregon Players to Help our Beloved Ducks!

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Our beloved Ducks put so much into their sports while at Oregon, but the transition to building a career after college is what the Oregon Athlete Foundation strives to help with. Join us on July 13th at a dinner with the Oregon Athlete Foundation. You may have noted this announcement before, and I personally would like to urge you all to …

Our Transition Update and What the Future Holds …

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

The Oregon offense and FishDuck.com have a couple things in common: We both are going through the first major transition in over six years, and the future of both will be quite interesting to follow. I will be writing a very tasty article coming up, “The Off-Season Surprises that Bode WELL for the Oregon Offense,” and it is just the beginning …

Lies, Damned Lies and the Chip Kelly Offense Narratives

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

A subject of great debate with Oregon fans, Bruin boosters and even the sports media has been whether the Chip Kelly offense that he began in Eugene will work at UCLA. I can give reasons in both directions, and I will do so here while providing an ultimate conclusion, a prediction on the level of success Chip Kelly will have …

Will Chip Kelly Avoid the OREGON MISTAKES at UCLA?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Some of you must think I’m off my rocker, as Chip Kelly is known for great success through his extraordinary 46-7 tenure in Eugene. Yet he made some mistakes that prevented him from winning the National Championship; mistakes that were not football related. The question on my mind: will he repeat these blunders at UCLA? Did he learn and grow from these …

Gotta See This: Haloti Ngata’s Tongan War Dance for Ducks!

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Seeing Haloti Ngata perform the Tongan War Dance in Portland on July 13th is only one reason among many to join me at a dinner with the Oregon Athlete Foundation. The $100.00 donation for the event helps you learn more about all the different ways the OAF supports former UO student-athletes, including the Spread Your Wings job program. Part of the …

Is Rob Mullens on the Warning Track?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

In a spring in which two Oregon teams are contending for national championships in the next two weeks (Women’s Track & Field and Softball), it would appear odd that I call out Rob Mullens on his questionable decisions concerning another program. In baseball, you have a warning track to let you know you might be in danger, and I can’t …

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

It’s done! It has taken over 100+ hours of work on weekends (30 hours in the last two weekends alone) at night, and in the early mornings and I’ve been laboring on it since last December. I’ve been slowly rolling out one section at a time over the last three months, and it is exciting to have one superb reference …

Oregon Men’s Basketball: Are you Getting a WEIRD VIBE, too?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

I’ve been getting a weird vibe from Oregon Men’s Basketball and am wondering if any of you feel it as well. This has nothing to do with the tremendous job Dana Altman has done during his time at Oregon, but is more of an acknowledgment of how the changes in college basketball have finally caught up to Oregon. It feels …
