My curiosity toward this 2015 Oregon Baseball team is just enormous; rumor is the pitching is inexperienced and this might be the first year George Horton cannot rely as much on defense. Yet Oregon brought in four JC transfers that are starting against the Hawaii Warriors primarily because of their batting? This was a bit much to digest after all …
My FishDuck.com friends…please indulge me today as I write from a place of pride about my nephew. He has been ascending the impossibly difficult ladder of Professional Motorsports. As a young man, he faced an equally difficult choice: college football or open-wheel (formula car) racing, having grown up doing both. Winning regional formula car races marked the beginning of his career, eventually culminating in a National Championship. …
Once Oregon gets consistently into the Top Five…wins major bowls, becomes one of the top winning programs in the nation–and if the Ducks play twice in five years for the National Championship–THEN our beloved Ducks will recruit like the BEST. Hey you Greybeards. You know who you are in age, and like me, you have thought the above. Heck–I didn’t …
My head is going to explode from the old, but new national narrative about Oregon being “soft.” Yes, I know I am supposed to provide you and a couple of hundred coaches an analysis article each Tuesday, but we have 51 other weeks for that. We have to slay this dragon once and for all while providing you a link …
I waited eleven days for THAT? Duck fans everywhere are very disappointed right now, because after the opening drive we had few moments to cheer. I was supposed to have a short game analysis last night, and my usual Tuesday analysis today? The heck with it. The objective of this site is to keep learning and enjoying the game more, …
How will Oregon attack Ohio State in the National Championship Game? It is an interesting question to ponder as Rory Davidson and I of FishDuck.com (who have been creating analyses throughout the season for this site) sat down to discuss it yesterday. While there are many technical aspects within the Oregon offense and defense that could come into play, we agreed on five concepts/strategies …

I agreed to do a post-game short analysis for the Managing Editor of FishDuck.com, Paul Jones, but my reaction was the same as fellow analyst Rory Davidson and Hawaii Coach Tony Hoolulu. As we watched the game, we did not observe anything unusual about the Oregon offense or defense in the Rose Bowl– the Ducks just played the same tactics with superb …
Site Principal’s Note: Rory Davidson has been the outstanding opponent analyst at FishDuck.com during the season, as I have covered Oregon. As a special preview feature we are joining forces to give Oregon fans some tactics and strategies to watch for by Oregon against Florida State. Each team has their weaknesses — let’s look at the Seminoles and some likely …
Our thirst for wins and championships poses an interesting question: how far will we go? When Oregon played Auburn four years ago in the National Championship game — I recall getting into a tit-for-tat email discussion before the game with a Tiger engineer who was very erudite and pretty challenging to play against in our chess-with-words. Yet as our emails continued, …
Oregon’s defensive performance against Arizona in the Pac-12 Championship ranks as one of the best ever at Oregon for a game of such importance. The majority of the credit goes to the Duck defensive line which shut down the inside running game of Arizona using techniques that we have barely covered before at FishDuck.com. Let’s take a look at the …
Oregon played extremely well to pull off a tough 77-70 win in Chicago at the United Center, home floor to the Chicago Bulls Saturday. Joseph Young, suffering through a shooting slump recently, did not start but was the second leading scorer for Oregon with 15 points. Emerging freshman star Dillon Brooks scored 24 points and Dwayne Benjamin added 13 to …
