This four-year stalwart played a huge role in Oregon’s success through the late 90’s. Many remember the “McLemore era” for the amazing career of superstar receiver Cristin McLemore (1992-1995), but his brother Brandon excelled equally on the defensive side of the ball through the latter-half of the 90’s. Brandon McLemore (a.k.a. “B-Mac”) arrived at Oregon in 1995, just after the …
Follow me on Twitter: @MarkDFlores Be sure to like us on Facebook: FISHDUCK.COM Football Recruiting Commitments/Offers Last Friday night, highly touted running back Dontre Wilson (4-Star/DeSoto, TX/Rivals250) committed to play his college ball in Eugene. Due to the volume of information being published on this announcement, I invite readers to check out FISHDUCK’s Chris Charbonnier’s latest piece on Wilson’s commitment and subsequent impact …
It’s been a while…Since 1989 to be exact. That is the last time the Oregon softball program made its first and only College World Series appearance. They can now add 2012 to the media guide. The old cliché goes, ‘everything’s bigger in Texas.’ Up until 2010, the Ducks softball team had played small ball that did not lead to the …
We have a special video for you today as we look at how Chip Kelly Game Plans for his opponents. I’ve noticed some patterns over the years, so sit back and see if you agree with my conclusions.

Every week Kurt Liedtke (better known as Keeerrrttt1), co-owner of FishDuck.com, creates video blogs (vlogs) to update all you fine folk on all things FishDuck, a free-form discussion of current events about Oregon Ducks sports and all that’s new with FishDuck.com, with the occasional off-topics or rants. It’s a little off-the-cuff, perhaps slightly pretentious, somewhat rambling, and hopefully entertaining…so kick …
Part 1 of this series by Chris Charbonnier is available here: http://fishduck.com/2012/05/building-a-juggarnaut-part-one-the-dontre-wilson-commitment/ For those who’ve been following Oregon recruiting lately, it’s no surprise that the Ducks have already landed commitments from running backs Thomas Tyner and Dontre Wilson.

What is the greatest day of your life? I know what I would say, but how would most people answer this question? If you are a parent, you would likely say the day your child was born. If you are married, you would probably say your wedding day. I am getting married in July, which matters because for the first …
Amid all the happiness over Oregon getting a verbal commitment Friday from heralded Texas running back Dontre Wilson was one thorny issue. Wilson is only the third soon-to-be high school senior to pick the Ducks so far. A few years ago, that would have been three more than Oregon typically had at this point in the recruiting cycle. Oh, how …
Another week is in the books, and your favorite team still remains in your favorite conference…or does it? If realignment and rumors were a part of the game, then we would have so much more to talk about and analyze this past week. Of course it comes down to Notre Dame, the school whose tradition somehow remains relevant to the …
Last night, the Ducks landed a huge commitment from RB Dontre Wilson, out of DeSoto, TX. A unanimous four-star across all four major recruiting services, Wilson is one of the best backs in the country. He picked the Ducks over Ohio St. and Texas, but also held offers from the likes of Arkansas, Baylor, Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma …
It looks like the weather is going to be nice this weekend…if you don’t count Sunday as part of the weekend. The spring brings so many different weather patterns to the Pacific Northwest that it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan. A movie sounds good. And something tells me that you would like to see something with …
As the Oregon Ducks football team prepares this summer for the upcoming 2012 season, many personnel questions will remain unanswered, as voluntary practices and workouts will continue to go unseen for the foreseeable future, all media and the public barred from attending. We expect to be watching a few new faces on the field next fall, but no question that one of …
