Oregon’s starting lineup on defense was beyond startling to me, and while other media have casually passed it off–I am not, as I think it tells us more about head coach Dan Lanning, and how he plans to utilize starters and substitutions. It raises a ton of questions, and yet is also somewhat comforting. Bottom line is that I’ve never …
How much are your predictions based on your gut feel versus the facts? I like to look at the factual stats and makeup of a team when making my predictions, but ultimately–when I pull the trigger–it is from my gut. Last year I never did make a prediction because I just did not have a feel for what to expect. …
I was on top of the world as an Oregon fan in 2021, as Mario Cristobal secured the greatest recruiting class in the history of Oregon football, the best in over 100 years! It finished ranked No. 3 in the nation as you can see on Rivals, and had an astounding 19 players signed who were either 4-Star or 5-Star …
Everything in life changes, and my beloved “Famous FishDuck ManCave” is soon to be gone, as I am selling my house after 32 years in it. So much of my joy and fun as an Oregon fan was lived in that room that you see below in a video, and so many articles were written for FishDuck in that room …
Coach Dan Lanning brought some Georgia blitzes with him to Oregon, and Duck fans are going to see more of them in action this next season. Because the 4-2-5 MINT defense that Lanning likes to run was in a transitional stage between aligning the right talent with the assignments in 2022, the need for applying pressure without leaving the secondary …
Watching the development of players is one of the smaller rewards of college football that is satisfying and part of our overall enjoyment of the sport. We see players break-out each year, and while that occurred a few years back for Jeffrey Bassa, when he moved from safety to linebacker–it was fun to see his exciting sack from perfect blitzing …
Oregon does have a freak problem with their football team. It is not a bizarre problem, but one that is unusual because of what Dan Lanning is trying to achieve at Oregon, and soon. As you may have guessed, this problem has nothing to do with using crypto in US gambling but if you have a desire, you can study …
Late Kick journalist Josh Pate has been very kind to Our Beloved Ducks in some of his recent videos concerning both high school and portal recruiting. However, he just began a new campaign, a new line of reasoning for why a Pac-12 team should always be considered inferior to an SEC team…even an SEC team with a worse record! It …
Talk about a topic I never saw coming a couple of years ago! The amount a college player will receive in a year to play football? Who saw that in the future, even five years ago? Nonetheless, I was surprised to be notified about this article that listed the table below for the projected NIL amounts the top ten college …
If you are looking for something sweet, then this article about the Oregon Spring game is not for you. I offer my perspectives of the game without any reason to suck-up to anyone, and my views do not represent the feelings of our staff at FishDuck. I wish to offer a balanced “take” of the beginning of the second year …
I have to admit to being pleased with the current line-up of receivers for 2023, along with the additions present for Spring Football and coming this summer between high school LOI signees and portal transfers. I was learning about pay-by-phone casino sites as one of the latest and most exciting ways of online gaming at PayByPhoneBillCasino.uk when I took a …
Oregon fans will know soon what the new Pac-12 media deal is, over the anticipated five or six year period. So much has happened in the last nine months, and I am sure that you have been whipped around in your emotions as I have. Have you softened your position about moving to the Big-10? (B1G) I was having fun …
