“Who (sic.) is college football’s (CFB) most popular team? An unscientific (and grammatically incorrect) study.” The above is the lead for a recent article in The Athletic (It has a pay-wall) which determined that Michigan, ironically, was CFB’s most fan-favorite team. With the Wolverines being under investigation for scouting future opponents in violation of NCAA rules, Michigan as the fan-favorite …
This is another part in my ongoing series about the Oregon football schedule in 2025, but this article is dedicated to just one opponent because of the challenge it will present in November. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at Melbet India because he is concerned about a classic Big-Ten power matchup in the cold part of …
The 2017 NFL Draft was a dark time in the history of Oregon football, as the Ducks had no players drafted. Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at online betting app Bangladesh to recall that ugly NFL Draft for Oregon. Zero. Nada. Zilch. 2017 was a crossroads for the program. The Ducks were coming off their worst season …
Along with Derrick Harmon and other Ducks, Josh Conerly Jr. has been flying up NFL Draft boards in the offseason.

Oh, what a long off-season! So many questions, and such anticipation for the 2025 season just makes waiting for the first game interminable. So as your “Schedule-Maven,” I thought I would delve further into Oregon’s 2025 football opponents, which begins with our neighbors to the north, Beavis. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at my11 to review …
Deion Sanders is making news in the off-season once again, but this time in regards to how Spring Games should be actual games played between teams. In this case I agree with him, and I have even written about how the Spring Game should be a real game. The Spring Game is typically a glorified scrimmage, and even if two …

In February of 2024, the B1G Ten and the SEC formed an Advisory Committee to ‘address issues in college athletics.’ A committee made up of the SEC and B1G university presidents, chancellors, commissioners Petitti and Sankey, and the SEC and B1G athletic directors.
