With the big game less than a week away and Oregon fans descending on Los Angeles to indulge the final Oregon football game of the season, we at FishDuck thought it was as good of a time as any to let you know about all the great events happening around the Rose Bowl. See, for anyone who has gone to …
Getting To Know Wisconsin: Special Teams
The Oregon Ducks landed in Pasadena yesterday, and the final build up to the Rose bowl has officially begun. It has been 25 days since the Ducks clinched the inaugural Pac-12 Championship, and it is about time for some football! This week, we take a look at the key Wisconsin special teams-specialists, and how they have fared this season. The …
Cheese Badger Don’t Care…
It’s about time to win a Rose Bowl, “Cheese Badgers don’t care…” I quite honestly could have stopped there and just had that be this week’s entry, but come on now, FishDuck doesn’t do weak sauce like that & neither do I! 1917. No that’s not the number of push ups Duckie has done this season (by the …
Biggest Christmas wish: Keeping Kelly around
OK, Duck fans, let’s be real here, let’s think big. It’s the morning of Dec. 25. You are about to tiptoe to the Christmas tree stationed in the living room. You are about to start snipping the ribbons, ripping the paper, popping the boxes. You are about to uncover socks, jackets, sweaters, ski boots, iTunes cards, Kindle tablets and HDTVs. …
Here Comes Santa Claus
It’s a cold morning at 90 degrees north latitude. The big fella hops into his chariot on skis annnndddddd…away he goes. He drops in at New Zealand and then Australia where he refuels with a Vegemite sandwich along with his milk and cookies. He sails across the open sky to Kazakhstan, Belarus, Greenland and the U.K. before heading north on …
Keeerrrttt1’s FishDuck.com Weekly Video Log – Episode #22
Greetings Fish Friends! Every week I create video blogs (vlogs) to update all you fine folk on all things FishDuck, a free-form discussion of current events about Oregon Ducks sports and all that’s new with FishDuck.com, with the occasional off-topics or rants. It’s a little off-the-cuff, perhaps slightly pretentious, somewhat rambling, and hopefully entertaining…so kick back, relax, drink up, and …
For former Oregon student-athletes, a little recognition and respect is all they ask
Doing this weekly column for FishDuck.com has been a great pleasure for me, not only being able to relive many great moments from Oregon sports past but also to interact directly with the student-athletes I idolized while growing up in Eugene, hearing their personal stories, all the great tales on the record and a few off the record as well. …
Getting To Know Wisconsin: Defense
Another week has come and gone, and now we find ourselves just 14 days from the 98th Rose Bowl Game. The break from Duck football the last few weeks has been a harsh adjustment, to say the least. Sort of like losing an arm- crippling, painful and awkward at first- you are left with no choice but to adapt and eventually get the hang of the day to …
Jared’s Patented™ Dream BCS Playoff Scenario
Greetings Duck Fans & FishDuck enthusiasts. I wanted to start my first column here on FishDuck with a quick hello! Many of you may already know me, but if you don’t very briefly I have been an insane Duck fan since birth, going to games at Auzten since 5, and in the last couple years I have created Oregon Ducks Vlogs …
Keeerrrttt1’s FishDuck.com Weekly Video Log – Episode #21
As co-owner of FishDuck.com, every week I create video blogs (vlogs), a free-form discussion of current events with Oregon sports and all that’s new with FishDuck.com. It’s a little off-the-cuff, perhaps slightly pretentious, somewhat rambling, and hopefully entertaining…so kick back, relax, drink up, and let’s talk a little Duck sports. The views expressed in these videos are strictly my own …
Bowl-gazer: Pac-12 to go 4-3
How could it be? How could the Pac-12 have three teams in the top six of the final regular season AP poll and still be underdogs in six of the seven upcoming bowl games? USC’s ban from postseason play, for one, which meant league also-rans got bumped up to better bowls. Match-up problems, for another. And lest we forget that …
Through the Years
Playing “Who’s Your Favorite?” as a Duck fan offers hours of fun in remembrance. Most of us have a favorite play, favorite player, favorite moment, or favorite year. Sometimes it’s the great player (Joey Harrington, Jonathan Stewart, LaMichael James), or the great play that sealed the great season (Maurice Morris rolling over Colorado…literally.) Sometimes, though, it’s the player or team …
