After years of heartbreaking defeats and losing the “Big One” over and over, a midseason Big Ten matchup proved the game that would silence years of criticism, fair and unfair, against the Ducks. With the eyes of the nation upon Autzen Stadium on Saturday night, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks changed the narrative, defeating No. 2 Ohio State 32-31 to …
Congratulations are in order. After surviving a white-knuckle hell ride against the lowborn Bruins last weekend, the No. 6 Oregon Ducks put the “quack” back in “victory” after steamrolling the visiting Michigan State Spartans 31-10 on Friday night at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Of course, I joke about UCLA. There’s nothing funny about a Big Ten basement dweller nesting in …
After a series of bizarro non-conference games, the No. 6 Oregon Ducks opened their Big Ten schedule with a 34-13 road victory over the UCLA Bruins in a midnight clash at the Rose Bowl. The Ducks improved to 4-0 for the second-straight season, gaining some traction in the AP rankings after backsliding due to underwhelming victories. Since sleepwalking past Idaho …
The No. 9 Oregon Ducks have a bye this week after trouncing in-state rival Oregon State 49-14 last weekend in Corvallis. The Ducks (3-0) hit refresh after two weeks of weird, buggy nail-biters against less talented opponents that effectively deflated the preseason hype balloon. I pulled Mr. FishDuck from his fun at nové online casino to review the unusual position …
After two weeks of lukewarm Oregon football, Ducks fans can sleep a little easier. No labored breathing, chest pain, night sweats, irritable bowels and midnight calls to urgent care this weekend. No, sir. Not for this guy. The No. 9 Ducks (3-0) FINALLY lived up to their billing, delivering a long-awaited 49-14 butt-whuppin’ of the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday …
Fans and pundits took to social media to express their disappointment over the No. 3 Oregon Ducks‘ 24-14 season-opening win against the Idaho Vandals. In most dimensions of the multiverse, the Ducks steamroll the lowly Vandals, and the postgame cleanup crew peels them off the astroturf with a spatula. Mr. FishDuck took time from his fun at online sports betting …
Like a majority of college football teams, the Oregon Ducks didn’t play this weekend, leaving a gaping void inside the green and yellow hearts eagerly awaiting the start of another exciting college football season. While there are so many things to look forward to starting next week, including a new stud quarterback (Dillon Gabriel), a new conference (Big Ten), and …
By now, it’s become clear the No. 6 Oregon Ducks’ offense is loaded with talented skill-position players, like a football multi-tool, capable of scoring from anywhere on the field. Even Mr. FishDuck took some from his fun reading Today’s NFL odds, and listening to his Sports Betting Podcast to share his astonishment of the 2023 Oregon offense with me. Bucky …
Somebody had to lose. In a long history of gridiron battles, the first-ever top 10 matchup between longtime Pacific Northwest rivals the No. 8 Oregon Ducks and No. 7 Washington Huskies was a doozy — a titanic slugfest between two very polished teams. This time, the Dub ended up with the “W.” After the game, a close friend of mine …
After Saturday’s football clinic in Eugene, it would be easy to take potshots at Colorado and mercilessly crow over the Buffs’ 42-6 loss at the hands of the No. 9 Oregon Ducks. The final score speaks for itself. Of course, the most succinct and well-phrased game description came from Colorado head coach Deion “Prime Time” Sanders in his postgame interview: …
Of all the stats this weekend, the most impressive was The Duck’s 546 push-ups during No. 15 Oregon’s 81-7 beatdown of Portland State on Saturday at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Seriously impressive. Mascots aside, the Oregon Ducks’ Week 1 showing was everything fans were hoping for and a little bit more. Scratch that — a whole lot more. In their …
Some people take action, stay ahead of trends and live on the bleeding edge of change. And others simply like to watch the world burn. And so here we are with the Pac 4, the smoldering ruins of a storied 108-year-old conference, decimated by inflated egos, overconfidence and incompetence under the failed leadership of former and current commissioners Larry Scott …
