Our Oregon football season concluded semi-unceremoniously, as the Buckeyes ended the Ducks’ 13-0 season in the Rose Bowl. After a blowout loss that does not reflect what Oregon was able to accomplish in 2024, we look back at the season and take some time to acknowledge what the Ducks achieved in its first year as a part of the B1G. …
And just like that, it’s over. The No. 1 Oregon Ducks‘ historic season ended in devastating fashion with a 42-21 loss to No. 6 Ohio State. The Buckeyes delivered a statement performance in the 111th Rose Bowl, routing what once was the nation’s only unbeaten team to advance to the College Football Playoff semifinals. In shock, Mr. FishDuck retreated to his study of future …
The Rose Bowl was the most embarrassing game of Dan Lanning’s career. Even if Ohio State goes on to win the National Championship this year, this game will leave a sour taste in the entire Oregon community’s mouth. Unlike Lanning’s opening loss to Georgia in 2022, this one just stinks. Against that Georgia team, the Ducks were massive underdogs and …
Here we are, the day before arguably the third-most important game in Oregon history (the two National Title games being the biggest, of course), and how the heck are we feeling, Oregon fans? Even Mr. FishDuck has the jitters, and took time from his fun at Pin-Up Casino to share his intensity for this game. Of course, we are feeling …
Our Oregon football team heads into the Rose Bowl as underdogs against a familiar opponent, marking their first meeting with the Buckeyes since October 12th at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks came out on top in a controversial conclusion to their heavyweight bout, beating Ohio State 32-31, and igniting a 13-0 start that’s carried the Ducks to be ranked first overall …
As New Year’s Day approaches, the bluster and banter over the Rose Bowl quarterfinal game between the No. 1 Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes has reached a fever pitch. Last weekend, the Buckeyes’ 42-17 throttling of the Tennessee Volunteers in a first-round College Football Playoff game at the Horseshoe changed the conversation in favor of Ohio State, while also …
The 12-team Playoff is here and let all fans rejoice! That is, until Round 1 began and we saw just how large the disparity is between the highest-ranked teams and those lower in the bracket. The results were rather clear cut across this first round. The better rosters destroyed their lower-ranked roster competition. Coaching and game prep had very little …
It is time. We have all discussed in the Our Beloved Ducks forum how Oregon has clearly not completely opened both the defensive and offensive playbook over the course of this 2024 season. We agreed that it made sense to save unique plays, and new sequential plays off our base plays for the Playoffs…and that time has come. To beat …
For 13 years, from 1984-1996, the NFL’s NFC conference dominated the league. They won 13 straight Super Bowls and mostly in commanding fashion. The NFC was just way better than the AFC in those days, as they usually had the four or five best teams in the league. Because of this, the NFC Championship (the semi-finals) had become the quasi-Super …
Well, there you have it. After a not-so-competitive opening weekend to the College Football Playoff, our Oregon football program is set to face the Buckeyes in the wake of the Tennessee Volunteers being completely demolished in The Shoe. Following a rocky finish to their regular season, Ohio State finally gets a chance to avenge their first loss of the year …
Ducks fans, fasten your seatbelts, put your tray tables up and adjust your seats to their upright position. The possibility of a high-stakes postseason rematch between the No. 1 Oregon Ducks and No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes is a reality, and things could get bumpy. Mr. FishDuck was so concerned that he took a break from his fun at Richard …
What was once an obvious choice in a discussion has now become a question to many Oregon fans. Should an expansion take place on Autzen Stadium as bantered about, or are other options better for the Oregon Athletic Department? This is a subject of pondering that pulled me away from looking into casinos.com to get the top bonus offers as …
