If you grew up playing the original Nintendo system, you might be familiar with an old arcade game called “Marble Madness.” We’re talking about the first Nintendo – you know the one: a directional pad, the shiny red A and B buttons, Select, and Start button. A sleek five-button controller — like God intended. This game would mesmorize kids with elaborate mazes that …
David Pyles Coming into Saturday’s game, the Oregon Ducks had five straight wins against Arizona, including two on the road. Yesterday, Ka’Deem Carey and the Wildcats made sure that streak didn’t continue, as Arizona raced past No. 5 Oregon to pull off the upset, 42-16. In Arizona’s biggest win in two decades, the Wildcats ended the Ducks’ national championship hopes …
David Pyles The cool Saturday was clothed in dreary gray with uncharacteristically wet weather, and it only got drearier in Tuscan for the No. 5 Oregon Ducks. Although most in press row wondered aloud if Arizona had publicized the contest at all when the game kicked off, thousands of empty seats were quickly filled as news spread that the Wildcats were putting …
We had upsets galore this week and probably now have some coaches out there looking for new jobs. Most of the top teams took care of their business, but it was the Baylor’s offense going into hibernation mode and Oregon’s offense was already on vacation in the desert, and stayed there. Ohio State, FSU, and Alabama were all …
from Video The Philadelphia Eagles are now in first place in the NFC East, on track to make the playoffs just a year after finishing last and losing 11 of their final 12 games. They have their bye this week, well timed to heal up some injuries and refocus for the final push. It won’t be easy. In December they …
Kevin Cline This week, there is plenty to get excited about. With a win last Saturday, this Oregon football team heads to Tucson with a 9-1 record for the season, and has a chance to become just the 9th team in school history to win 10 games. Thanks to Stanford’s loss last weekend to USC, the Ducks have also reasserted control of its respective …
While it’s not a “day that will live in infamy” to the same degree as Pearl Harbor, today is an anniversary of it’s own. It was four years ago tonight that Oregon cheerleader Katelynn Johnson was struck in the head by a thrown water bottle at the end of Oregon’s 44-41 double overtime win in Tucson. We at fishduck.com/anychancetopostphotosofKatelynnJohnsonisokaybyus like …
Kevin Cline Oregon men’s basketball has been rolling with a relatively new coach in Dana Altman, a beautiful new basketball arena presented by the gracious Phil Knight and recent success as the 2011 CBI champions and an appearance in the sweet sixteen last year (only losing to the team that ultimately won the tournament). It was only a matter of …
Kevin Cline Two weeks ago, the Oregon Ducks endured one of the toughest losses in recent memory when they fell to the Stanford Cardinal, 20-26, to move to No. 6 in the BCS standings. As frustrating as this loss was, the following media attention hurts nearly as much. “The Ducks can’t win the big game.” “Oregon’s gimmicky offense will always …
Craig Strobeck Football Recruiting Visits Saturday’s 44-21 stomping of Utah took the edge off a week filled with uncertainty. Now, back in the driver’s seat for the Pac-12 Championship and a Rose Bowl berth, the Ducks look to make a late recruiting cycle push to add to an already impressive class. Saturday’s matchup saw a few visitors with the firepower …
From Video How many times after this last game did you hear media sources other than EugeneDailyNews/FishDuck.com declare that, “the Ducks limited Mariota’s running opportunities.” Or “the Inside Zone Read play is bottled up!” How many of them actually know what they are talking about or can prove those assertions? Unfortunately most of them are parroting what they have heard …
The team that pulled last week’s big upset against Oregon, was in turn the victim of college football’s Week 12 big upset, as Stanford fell in dramatic fashion to USC, 20-17, on Saturday night. This loss propels Oregon back in the driver’s seat in the Pac-12 North. The Ducks are now the top one-loss team in the nation and, if chaos …
