What a season it’s been for the Oregon Ducks. The team went 12-0 through the regular season and then on Saturday night they secured the B1G Championship by defeating Penn State. The Ducks have done what few predicted in their first year; they have defeated all the B1G blue bloods on their way to going undefeated. Even Mr. FishDuck spent …
I have to say that I was surprised by the results of the B1G recruiting for the 2025 class. Yes, there are some who will be signed in the February period, but over 90% of recruiting is done, and it was quite interesting to see the breakdown in Oregon’s new conference. I even had to take time away from my …
In the movie Rocky IV, after the death of his friend, former champion, and mentor Apollo Creed, Rocky had to carry the weight of the world on his back as he faced a seemingly invincible opponent in a six-foot-seven, evil, Apollo-killing, cold war era Russian named Ivan Drago. The Oregon Ducks, after the death of their dear friend, the conference …
Our Oregon football program scored 45 points in a win over Penn State this weekend, dominating the B1G Championship and vaulting themselves to a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. The next time you see them, they’ll be playing in the Rose Bowl—matched up with Tennessee or Ohio State on January 1st. After a 13-0 start, it’s hard not …
In the heart of Indianapolis, under the glow of Lucas Oil Stadium’s lights, the No. 1 Oregon Ducks marched into their first Big Ten Championship Game on Saturday night and left as undisputed conference kings. The Ducks outdueled No. 3 Penn State 45-37 in a fast-paced, high-stakes shootout to cap their first season in the Big Ten with a perfect …
It is always fun to see new plays introduced over the course of the season, and to occasionally get some commentary about them from the TV analysts covering the games. We witnessed a new play against the Huskies in the first drive that was fun to watch develop, and then see what the analysts had to say about it, but …
On Saturday against the Washington Huskies, we finally saw the full vision of Dan Lanning’s defense. From the moment Lanning got to Oregon he has talked about his defense creating havoc. Havoc does not always come from sacks or tackles for loss, but from causing disruption — though the best ways to create disruption is by putting the opponent behind …
It is time for the B1G conference to embrace the future, and that future is making Las Vegas the host of its championship game. It would go a long way in relegating the B1G’s squarish, midwestern image to the rearview mirror as it rings in the era of being a true coast-to-coast conference that embraces Hollywood, Broadway, and all points …
Our Oregon football program has been rolling all year, but woah: WHAT a WAY to take down the Washington Huskies and get that monkey (or puppy, for that matter) off Dan Lanning’s back. The Ducks were dominant from start to finish, and it looks like Oregon’s on track to play the Buck- I mean Nittany Lions in the B1G Championship. Here are …
Ah, the sweet smell of redemption. The No. 1 Oregon Ducks, perched atop the college football universe, have smashed through their inaugural Big Ten season like a hippo in a Hobby Lobby. Following their 49-21 dismantling of the Washington Huskies on Saturday in Eugene, the Ducks have avenged last year’s stinging defeats and closed the regular season a spotless 12-0 …
The more the history of Washington Husky Athletics becomes known to the members of the B1G, the more likely they will begin to regret their invitation to Montlake. Yes, the conference will take the additional revenue generated by the Seattle market, but the sordid history of the Men of Washington is embarrassing to all. Fortunately, the Hapless Husky men are …
Dan Lanning has put together an undefeated season so far at 11-0 and the Ducks are effectively a lock for the College Football Playoff, though their seeding has yet to be determined. He has done this through brilliant recruiting, player development and being just a bit mad in the process. Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at 5 …
