“To see the World in a grain of sand and Heaven in a flower” William Blake I admit to not being at such an exalted state of enlightenment as to be able “To see the World in a grain of sand” as the Romantic poet William Blake suggests. However, I do enjoy noticing those moments where the micro reveals the …
Fellow FishDuck.com writer Darren Perkins did a terrific job of covering the Pac-12 2023/24 bowl games. Here’s a take on the seven bowl games that will be contested among seven ‘New B1G’ teams versus seven ‘New SEC‘ teams in the postseason; the final season of the Pac-12. In all, 13 of 18 B1G teams, 72% of the conference, and 11 of …
Our Oregon Ducks football program will finish the season on New Year’s Day next week. Bo Nix will lead the team in his final game with Oregon, as well as several other veteran Ducks closing out their collegiate careers in the Fiesta Bowl at 10 a.m. PST. While several players have opted out ahead of the NFL Draft, the Ducks …
Oregon is set to play Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl on January 1st. For many Oregon fans, this game isn’t all that interesting or exciting for a couple of reasons. One, it’s not a playoff game and it feels like a consolation prize for a season that could have been something really special. Two, it’s against No. 20 Liberty, a …
Do you know what could save a lot of grief, angst, gnashing of teeth, and tearing of hair in CFB?

Lanning is the first coach since Mike Bellotti to not win a conference championship in their second season (besides Willie Taggert who only coached one season). …
Christmas came early for me this year–thanks to Our Beloved Ducks. That six-game win-streak between those two bad-bookend losses was as good a run as I have experienced in my nearly 50 years of watching Duck football. It reminded me of the first two years of Chip Kelly and The Blurrrr Offense. I do not remember a more dominant run …
“Disgusted and infuriated,” said Coach Mike Norvell when he saw that Alabama got the last playoff spot and his FSU Seminoles were left out by the CFP committee.

Rumors are swirling about Kirby Smart becoming the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. This, of course, would almost certainly put Dan Lanning at the very top of the list of candidates to replace Smart. I would not be surprised if “Dan Lanning” is the only person on that list.

Our Oregon Ducks’ football program has had a SPECTACULAR past two weeks. Primarily, at the quarterback position. Following a Heisman finalist leaving the program in superstar Bo Nix, you might expect there to be a bit of a talent drop-off. Fortunately, even before Nix has officially even left the program, quarterback has quickly become a strength of the Ducks. Dan …
Dillon Gabriel transferring to Oregon for the 2024 season is a big deal, as it gives Oregon a top-tier quarterback right away. Gabriel is going to have a loaded roster, even with some key contributors in Jackson Powers-Johnson, Bucky Irving and Troy Franklin leaving for the NFL.
