The unprecedented success of the last decade of Oregon football has attractedĀ some ofĀ the nationās most talented players and innovative coaches. For the Ducks, the point of no return was when Chip Kelly arrived, implementingĀ a fresh, āWin the Dayā philosophy thatĀ elevated the program to the national spotlight.

If it Quacks like a Duckā¦ A little over three years ago, Eugenian and rabid Oregon Ducks fan, Charles Fischer, had an idea. Although heād never played or coached football, like many fans he had an abiding interest in the game, āin the Xās and Oās,ā as he put it. āIām just a regular guy who was hungry to learn ā¦
Iām going to go out on a limb and assume that a large number of Oregon Duck fans, unless you didnāt care about the NFL until Chip Kelly got hired by the PhiladelphiaĀ Eagles (or still donāt care),Ā are probably Seattle Seahawk fans.

What moreĀ can you say about our beloved Ducks basketball team? āConquering adversityā should be its slogan. Through all the media bashing, questioning, and lack of confidence in this team from the entire state of Oregon, the Ducks persevered and created what we see before us today: a contending Division I basketball program. I canāt say I wasnāt one of thoseĀ who ā¦
In one of his more ridiculous commentaries, one ofĀ many delivered over the years, ESPN First Take host Stephen A. Smith seemed to suggest current Philadelphia Eagles head coach and former University of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly is a racist, or has racist motives in how he structures the team. Nor did Smith keep this offensive suggestion simple and short: ā¦
Oregon football is known for coming out on top of the Pac-12 at the end of each season. They finished their 2014 run winning the conference championship, the Ducks did the same in their 2011 season, and in their 2010 season when the conference was originally called the Pac-10. However, in recent history Duck football hasnāt been the only sport ā¦
