For the first time in a decade, the Ducks and Lil’ Troy Boys will meet as ranked opponents with conference and College Football Playoff positioning on the line when No. 7 Oregon hosts No. 15 USC on Saturday at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) and Trojans (8-2, 6-1) enter in a three-way tie with Michigan for third …
There is very little that makes Oregon fans happier than ruining USC’s season. With a victory over the Trojans, the Ducks will help pad their playoff resume while simultaneously destroying whatever chance USC had to make the playoffs. Our Mr. FishDuck was at https://worldpokerdeals.com/rakeback-deals/best-poker-sites to study the best online poker sites, when he stopped briefly to rage about his feelings …
Our Oregon football program is closing out the regular season with a pair of tough, familiar matchups: the Huskies and the Trojans. Fortunately, winning this weekend would almost guarantee a College Football Playoff run for the Ducks, and if Oregon finds a way to get to 11-1, they could squeeze into the B1G Championship for the second season in a …
Oregon has finally found its identity, which seems strange to say as we just wrapped up Game 10 in the regular season. This is a physical run team with a vertical passing offense that is also incredibly physical. But hasn’t this been Oregon’s identity all year long? Yes, this was the end goal for what this team’s offensive identity should …
Last Sunday, as I read through all of my go to college football websites to recap Saturday’s action, I came across this point from The Athletic’s college football insider Stewart Mandel: “Finally, if you’re about age 45 and older, you remember when Oregon State was a decades-long punching bag in the old Pac-8/10, before rising up in the late ’90s …
Seems like a trick question, right? Well, it’s not as simple in 2025. Winning the conference for the second straight season and earning a top seed in the College Football Playoff just doesn’t mean what it used to mean in years past. Overall, our Oregon football program has had a gritty yet successful reloading season through nine games. Close wins …
Is Oregon physical enough for the B1G? If you are reading this article you are probably a Duck fan, and your reaction is going to be an emphatic YES! I know our Mr. FishDuck took a break from his preference to bet on sports in AZ to give me an earful of his thoughts, and I imagine many of you …
2025 is priming up to be a coaching carousel, the likes of which we have never seen. Many of Oregon’s opponents might make a change, which, of course, could affect the Ducks moving forward. UW’s Jed Fisch has ties to UCLA. If he bolts to the Bruins, will the Huskies replace him with a winner or a loser? Lincoln Riley …
Our Oregon football program entered 2025 in a season we expected to be a rebuilding year. That turned quickly into a reload, and lofty expectations were set after an all-time poised performance by Dante Moore on the road in Happy Valley. Unfortunately, Penn State decidedly did not hold up their end of the bargain the rest of the season, and have massively diminished a …
This year I find myself missing the Pac-12 and all the chaos it brings. The B1G is just too top-heavy, and that’s the problem with super conferences; they generate a whole lot of mediocre games. The marquee match-ups have been great fun. Watching Oregon play Ohio State last year was one of the best games in Oregon’s history. The games …
As a transplanted Hawkeye, I’m sure I follow Iowa football more closely than anyone else on FishDuck.com or the Our Beloved Ducks forum. Here are a few things you should know about this year’s Hawkeye football that even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his gaming fun at online sports betting to learn. Phil Steele’s 2025 College Football Preview This …
Ever since Mike Bellotti was able to recruit mega-donor “Uncle” Phil Knight 30 years ago into the Oregon fold, no “outsider” has won the national championship. When I say “outsider,” I mean a program that is either not a traditional blue-blood program, or at least lacking a rich football history. Tennessee in 1998 is maybe the low man on the …
