Fantasizing a College Football “Super-Division” and “Irresistibly Delicious” 64-Team Playoff System!

Walter Gray Editorials

Millions now play Fantasy Football. Let’s play our own version and “fantasize” a college football Super-Division with a true 64-team National Playoff. It could be “Irresistibly Delicious“! And also solve a number of problems with the current D-I football playoff system. I began by brainstorming. I first learned about “brainstorming” as an exercise to boost to creativity while in architecture …

Lies, Damned Lies and the Chip Kelly Offense Narratives

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

A subject of great debate with Oregon fans, Bruin boosters and even the sports media has been whether the Chip Kelly offense that he began in Eugene will work at UCLA. I can give reasons in both directions, and I will do so here while providing an ultimate conclusion, a prediction on the level of success Chip Kelly will have …

Will Chip Kelly Avoid the OREGON MISTAKES at UCLA?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Some of you must think I’m off my rocker, as Chip Kelly is known for great success through his extraordinary 46-7 tenure in Eugene. Yet he made some mistakes that prevented him from winning the National Championship; mistakes that were not football related. The question on my mind: will he repeat these blunders at UCLA? Did he learn and grow from these …

From Slick Willie to Super Mario, Oregon’s Recruiting Rolls On

Darren Perkins Editorials

There really wasn’t anything about Willie Taggart that I was going to miss when he decided to head back to Florida. His game planning was pedestrian, his in-game coaching was sub-par, his media persona was “car salesman-esque,” and his running of Justin Herbert up the gut as if he were Jerome Bettis was utterly mind-boggling.   These things ultimately cost the Ducks a very successful 2017 season, not to mention destroying the 10-win prediction …

Gotta See This: Haloti Ngata’s Tongan War Dance for Ducks!

The New Oregon Offense: Receiver Splits and Alignments

Coach Eric Boles Analysis

Throughout the spring, we have received a few clues  as to what the Oregon Duck offense will look like under new head man Mario Cristobal and new offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo. Taking these clues, we can make several educated guesses as to what we’ll see come payoff time this fall. Today I want to look at how Cristobal may use wide receiver sets …

Is Rob Mullens on the Warning Track?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

In a spring in which two Oregon teams are contending for national championships in the next two weeks (Women’s Track & Field and Softball), it would appear odd that I call out Rob Mullens on his questionable decisions concerning another program. In baseball, you have a warning track to let you know you might be in danger, and I can’t …

It’s FINISHED! The Incredible 1,000+ piece OREGON FOOTBALL REPOSITORY is here!

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

It’s done! It has taken over 100+ hours of work on weekends (30 hours in the last two weekends alone) at night, and in the early mornings and I’ve been laboring on it since last December. I’ve been slowly rolling out one section at a time over the last three months, and it is exciting to have one superb reference …

Fast and Rangy: Oregon Ducks Linebacker – Adrian Jackson

Mike Kelly Talent Evaluation

The Oregon Ducks Football team followed up talented additions to their linebacker corps in 2017 (Isaac Slade-Matautia and Sampson Niu) by signing one of the best linebacker prospects in the 2018 recruiting cycle, Adrian Jackson. Jackson was a four-year player at Mullin High school, a small Roman Catholic prep school in Denver, Colorado. Jackson was a Colorado First Team All-State Selection at …
