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 …
FishDuck’s first State of the Union: FishDuck Needs You!
Some notes from FishDuck: a FishDuck.com State of the Union FishDuck.com Needs YOU! Greetings Fish-Friends, it is four months in to FishDuck.com’s existence, and Kurt and I felt it was time to speak with you directly, our website visitors. The amount of people that have come to our site daily, participating in our boards and emailing us with notes of …
Getting To Know Wisconsin: Offense
As the Ducks and Badgers begin their preparation for the seemingly fast approaching Rose Bowl Game on January 2nd, it is time to start looking a little deeper at the Ducks opponent. This week, we focus on the Badger offense. The Big 10 champions were able to be successful this season on offense by having a very balanced attack running and throwing. Wisconsin led their …
Keep doing what you do, Darron Thomas
We have a new coach at Arizona State. Sorry, we take that back. Chip Kelly for the NFL! For what? Go, Matt Barkley. Go pro. The regular season in college football ended a week ago (not counting Army-Navy), leaving everyone who reports or blogs about the sport — like a heroin addict in search of a fix — scurrying high …
Cue The Duck Choir
I know, I know. You’re tired of the crowds, you’re tired of the rain, and the people riding the bikes downtown forgot to pay homage to your Family Truckster. Your wife is making broad hints with the Kay Jewelers ads, your kids want a Kinect For Xbox 360, and the boss has given you the Clark Griswold treatment this year …
Digesting The Other Pac-12 Bowl Games
Here we are at the end of another college football season, with only bowl games left to play. For the 3rd straight year, Oregon has been included in a BCS Bowl and thus, playing in one of the the final games of the season. If there is a “price” fans pay to play in the bigger games, it is that the layover between …
