As the equine industry grows, we are seeing many universities offering Equine programs where students can learn more about the different disciplines that involve horses. We’ve been around horses for thousands of years, and during this time our interaction with these beloved animals has grown stronger and stronger. We might not use horses for transportation anymore, but the equine industry …
Dan Lanning and company are the best recruiters in the country right now. Now, anyone who wants to go ahead and look at recruiting rankings will note that Oregon did not finish first in 2024, but the reality is that there are three parts to recruiting, and no single ranking encompasses them all. These three parts are high school recruitment, …
For our Oregon Ducks football program, we have a ton of players on this roster to be excited about entering the season. A Nix-less, star-studded offense will spring out to surround Dillon Gabriel, and they should translate almost immediately to success in the Big Ten. Traeshon Holden and Tez Johnson will surely lead this group, with Evan Stewart working in as the …
Coming off a 12-2 campaign in 2023, the Oregon Ducks have high hopes for the 2024 season despite the program making a move to the Big Ten. As a team with College Football Playoff aspirations, the Ducks also have hopes to win the Big Ten during their first season in their new home. Of course, with the Big Ten being …
The NFL draft happened over the weekend. As a devoted Duck fan you may not have watched it live, as rounds four through seven happened on the day our beloved Ducks played an electric spring game. I am here to tell you that it was a home run of a weekend not only on the field, but on draft night …
Quarterback depth at Oregon has been fleeting and has often led to lost seasons for the Ducks. In 2007, Dennis Dixon was on the verge of winning the Heisman and the Ducks were on the road to the National Championship game, until Dixon blew out his knee and the entire season fell apart. In 2013, Marcus Mariota and Oregon were …
In commemoration of 4/20 this past Saturday, today we take four big-time hits, man: Kenny at ASU We tend to pull for former Ducks whether they are players or coaches. With that, and the fact that I have had many fun (i.e. effing crazy) nights on Mill Street in Tempe, I am pulling for Kenny Dillingham to succeed at Arizona State. …
With the NFL Draft fast approaching this week, it’s a really exciting time for our Ducks of the future to see players translate to the next level. We saw six Ducks get their name called and several more work their way onto rosters through the 2023 season, could we see six more Ducks in 2024? Who Goes in the First …
Over the years, there have been massive upsets in the world of college football. Sports Illustrated ranks the three biggest college football (CFB) upsets. Mr. FishDuck took some time from his fun with NFL Betting to reminisce with me about these stunning games. Yet the bigger aspect in these games are the presence (or not) of Blue-Chip Rosters within the …
Well, now we have NO Chance…or Grace, or Kennedy or Priscilla. (My granddaughter gets credit for that opening NO Chance line.) Just when I was getting ready to write a piece that I was going to headline, “In Defense of Coach Graves,” another mass exodus of players hits. For those of you who have read any of my three-part series …
Bo Nix finished his college playing career with a huge super-senior season playing for the Ducks in 2023/2024. After setting the FBS record for completion percentage in a season, throwing for 113 career touchdowns, and winning the Fiesta Bowl, Nix seems like a sure-fire thing for a first round pick, right? Despite his illustrious final two seasons, Nix is one …
Our Oregon Ducks football program has gone through a monumental change in the offseason to reshape a title-contending team into a dominant power in the Big-10 Conference. Now, the Ducks join the Ohio State Buckeyes, Michigan Wolverines, and some familiar faces from the PAC-12 to deliver a brand-new brand of Duck football in the Midwest. When I pulled Mr. FishDuck …
