Back in the 1960’s, when I was a struggling law student at the University of Oregon, I used to wonder whether there was enough room in the State for two PAC-8 Conference football programs. “The state of Oregon just doesn’t produce enough high school players of that quality,” I mused. Mr. FishDuck took some time from his fun at mostbet …
Having grown up Catholic, I am well-schooled in the fine art of self-flagellation. (Full disclosure…I considered wearing a hairshirt. I know, I know. Think how I feel.) My latest iteration of this pursuit is following all the former Duck women basketball players who have transferred out of the program and who are now playing on teams that qualified for The …
The Oregon Ducks are known for their flashy uniforms, state-of-the-art facilities, and (thanks to Nike) general “cool” factor. But, that zest for being a leader in cutting-edge sports innovation finally caught up to the Ducks over the weekend as 2025 5-Star basketball recruit Keoni Thompson made it known that he was passing on the Ducks. He made no bones about …
Our Oregon Ducks football program is right in the thick of the offseason, and has an incredible slate of games to look forward to this fall. Moving to the Big Ten may prove to be the biggest thing to ever happen to the Oregon football program, giving a handful of college football juggernauts a chance to stomp out some Duck …
Hello, Rob, this is Obidiah Dee, thanks for taking my call. How did I get your private number, you ask? Why shouldn’t you hang up, you ask? Well, Rob, a good friend of mine is one of the founding members of Division Street and he gave me your number to be used one time only. I’d be happy to let …
When Dana Altman scratches his head and gives that little rueful smile of his it means he’s just as confused as the rest of us. And there was a lot of head scratching going on last weekend, like when I pulled Mr. FishDuck away from his fun at minimum deposit casino to share in our amazement of Our Beloved Ducks. …
Admittedly, I am weary of reading posters to the Our Beloved Ducks message board chastise OSU and WSU over funds in the PAC-12 accounts, and that will come into those accounts that they have received through Court Order. It was not hard to pull Mr. FishDuck from his study of popular gambling states in the US since he has demonstrated …
What is the best way to determine the 12-team College Football Playoff field? Will the CFB Playoff Committee (Committee) simply use the won/loss records of teams when deciding on the Delightful Dozen? Or, like the College Basketball Committee, will there be a more nuanced approach? In an era of super-sized conferences with unbalanced schedules, it will hopefully be the latter …
Oh, Stewball was a racehorse, And I wish he were mine, He never drank water, He always drank wine. I bet on the gray mare, I bet on the bay, If I’d bet on ol’ Stewball, I’d be a free man today. 1966 – Peter, Paul and Mary According to one gaming site, the favorites for the 2024 Power 4 …
Recently I posted the beginning of a planned multiple article look into Dan Lanning’s goal to elevate Oregon Football from Good to Elite in the OBD forum. Today I want to begin focusing on areas of improvement, starting with the external.When I spoke to Mr. FishDuck about this topic, he took time aside from his fun at IPL betting cricket …
Bo Nix is regarded today as one of the best signal callers to ever join the Oregon Ducks football program. Some even consider him the best player in team history. Now, in just over a month, Nix will be embarking on his pro career and join one of 32 teams ready to reshape their franchise with a new-look offense. So …
I admit that I was wrong. I have been saying for a couple of years that after Chip Kelly leaves UCLA (after being fired or “asked” to resign) he would either become a head coach in a lower division like his former school New Hampshire, or, if he was able to put his ego aside, become an OC in the …
