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? The Playoff Committee (committee) keeping its collective mouth shut so that the final rankings reveal is the only reveal. Just leave things up to the AP Poll, Coaches Polls, and other guesses before the Grapevine Gurus come forth with the Playoff …
Dan Lanning has a lot of pressure entering this offseason. Sure, the new year will determine weather the Ducks land a major bowl win, but the offseason is where the pressure really starts to ramp up. 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. Injured FSU quarterback Jordan Travis posted on social media that he was: “Devastated. Heartbroken.” Coach Norvell said further: “What is the point of playing games? Do you tell players to quit if …
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. Georgia would come fast and furious and hot and …

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. With the addition of Gabriel, the Ducks will be a contender for the B1G …
“How did they leave out an undefeated conference champion from the Playoff? And then they push out the two-time national champion (who has only one narrow defeat) from the Playoff entirely? How biased is this Playoff Selection Committee?” I read the accusations about the integrity of the CFP Committee, and wonder whether their choices of playoff teams will negatively impact …
Tyler Shough is the only player since Marcus Mariota to start in multiple seasons for Oregon after not starting as a true freshman. Sure, Mariota is the greatest Oregon Duck of all time, but he left the team nine years ago, and during that time only Shough has pulled off what seems to be a pretty simple feat? So what has happened during …
