David Pyles The cool Saturday was clothed in dreary gray with uncharacteristically wet weather, and it only got drearier in Tuscan for the No. 5 Oregon Ducks. Although most in press row wondered aloud if Arizona had publicized the contest at all when the game kicked off, thousands of empty seats were quickly filled as news spread that the Wildcats were putting …
We had upsets galore this week and probably now have some coaches out there looking for new jobs. Most of the top teams took care of their business, but it was the Baylor’s offense going into hibernation mode and Oregon’s offense was already on vacation in the desert, and stayed there. Ohio State, FSU, and Alabama were all …
from Video The Philadelphia Eagles are now in first place in the NFC East, on track to make the playoffs just a year after finishing last and losing 11 of their final 12 games. They have their bye this week, well timed to heal up some injuries and refocus for the final push. It won’t be easy. In December they …
Kevin Cline This week, there is plenty to get excited about. With a win last Saturday, this Oregon football team heads to Tucson with a 9-1 record for the season, and has a chance to become just the 9th team in school history to win 10 games. Thanks to Stanford’s loss last weekend to USC, the Ducks have also reasserted control of its respective …
While it’s not a “day that will live in infamy” to the same degree as Pearl Harbor, today is an anniversary of it’s own. It was four years ago tonight that Oregon cheerleader Katelynn Johnson was struck in the head by a thrown water bottle at the end of Oregon’s 44-41 double overtime win in Tucson. We at fishduck.com/anychancetopostphotosofKatelynnJohnsonisokaybyus like …
Kevin Cline Oregon men’s basketball has been rolling with a relatively new coach in Dana Altman, a beautiful new basketball arena presented by the gracious Phil Knight and recent success as the 2011 CBI champions and an appearance in the sweet sixteen last year (only losing to the team that ultimately won the tournament). It was only a matter of …
Kevin Cline Two weeks ago, the Oregon Ducks endured one of the toughest losses in recent memory when they fell to the Stanford Cardinal, 20-26, to move to No. 6 in the BCS standings. As frustrating as this loss was, the following media attention hurts nearly as much. “The Ducks can’t win the big game.” “Oregon’s gimmicky offense will always …
Craig Strobeck Football Recruiting Visits Saturday’s 44-21 stomping of Utah took the edge off a week filled with uncertainty. Now, back in the driver’s seat for the Pac-12 Championship and a Rose Bowl berth, the Ducks look to make a late recruiting cycle push to add to an already impressive class. Saturday’s matchup saw a few visitors with the firepower …
The team that pulled last week’s big upset against Oregon, was in turn the victim of college football’s Week 12 big upset, as Stanford fell in dramatic fashion to USC, 20-17, on Saturday night. This loss propels Oregon back in the driver’s seat in the Pac-12 North. The Ducks are now the top one-loss team in the nation and, if chaos …
Craig Strobeck Saturday’s schedule saw a huge win for Oregon, and I’m not talking about what USC did. While the game against Utah may not have been an overly impressive victory – Oregon didn’t score at least 55 against an unranked opponent for the first time all season – it was still one that was sorely needed for Oregon, both for 2013 …
Craig Strobeck The Utah Utes have been unpredictable so far this season. Earlier in the year, they lost to UCLA by only seven points, and shocked the Pac-12 when they beat then-No. 5 Stanford. However, Utah has now lost four straight after falling 44-21 to a hungry Oregon Ducks team, moving to 4-6 on the season. The Utes were frustrated after …
Kevin Cline This has been a year of firsts for Mark Helfrich, and after his first loss as a head coach, Saturday’s game against Utah was another: preparing the Ducks to respond to adversity. And respond Oregon did. It wasn’t much of a surprise that the Duck came out a bit flat, after all, just nine days prior they had …
