Dillon Gabriel, you are an Oregon Duck. The Oregon QB room looked shake on Saturday morning. Bo Nix will be starting his NFL journey after coming in 3rd place in Heisman voting and hopefully winning the Ducks a Fiesta Bowl. Other than that, Oregon didn’t have any players on the roster with a start logged after high school. But on December …
The 2023 selection of four teams to compete for the title of College Football National Championship, and the included placement of eight teams into four New Year’s Bowl games has met with a cacophony of responses from football fans nationwide, a few of which responders are posters to our wonderful “forum with decorum.” Vandownbytheriverduck says: “Thi$ committee is a joke. …
OK, Oregon lost twice to UDub, lost twice to a coach, Kalen DeBoer, who is now 9-0 versus Top 25 opponents. Including the three wins by a total of six points against Oregon, UW won eight games this season against bowl-eligible teams, and two wins against now No. 8 Oregon. Won on the road against No. 14 Arizona, No. 19. …
Though the Ducks came up short, the best Pac-12 Championship Game ever featured the two schools who were afterthoughts to the B1G in the realignment game. While USC — the only team the B1G wanted but had to take UCLA — was exposed as a total fraud in limping to a 7-5 record. The fact that USC was so vehemently …
Our Oregon Ducks football team had a glorious regular season that still has a Fiesta Bowl appearance on the horizon, and tons of new recruiting talent on the way. But as the regular season closes, it’s time to take a look back on the Ducks’ season, finding our favorite plays of a year to remember. Dan Lanning led a spectacular team …
This last loss has hurt more than any other loss I can recall, and when I came to write this article I reflected on a video from It’s OK to be Smart entitled The Strange Psychology of Superfans. I highly suggest that everyone watches it, because it is telling in just what makes us tick. During the video they go …
Seventeen days before early signing day and Oregon appears to be in a fantastic spot on the recruiting front. Currently sitting at second in the Big-Ten, how is the Ducks current class preparing them for the move to their new conference? Class Strengths Perhaps the most important position for Oregon to improve at, defensive back, sees the team with several …
It was all on the line for Oregon on Friday night in Las Vegas, and they blew it. Not showing up for the first quarter was a pretty bad start. Being down 20-3 was never going to lead to an easy win. But the Ducks had a shot in this one. Oregon went up 24-20 with 1:51 left in the third …
We all remember some of the scenes of Washington quarterback Michael Penix appearing to be hurt in the latter stages of the game with Oregon, and we’ve heard the murmurs about his performance last week in the Apple Cup. We all assume that he will be ready, and will give the Ducks fits as he has in the last two …
In the consideration of whether Bo Nix or Jayden Daniels should be awarded the Heisman trophy, I could not resist applying my professional experience as an appellate attorney to just what the voters should evaluate. Mainly, do they look simply to a candidate’s personal football skills, or do they also consider the candidate’s impact on the team. In the circumstance …
Our Oregon Ducks football team has been on a historic run to the PAC-12 Championship in 2023, as Oregon stands primed and ready for a rematch with their rival Huskies. They have a potential Heisman winner across from them in quarterback Michael Penix Jr., flanked by Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan, while Oregon has their very own Bo Nix right in the Heisman race as …
The Pac-12 started this season with a whopping six teams ranked in the AP poll, and peaked at Week 4 with eight. This didn’t last, as Week 4 was the beginning of conference play, and though the Pac-12 may not be the best conference, it surely is the most competitive from top to bottom. The football season is long and …
