With 19 days left until the 2012-13 season kickoff, that old familiar feeling is beginning to rumble in the pit of the stomach…football is finally back in Eugene. It’s been nearly nine months since Oregon knocked of the Badgers of Wisconsin, earning the school’s first Rose Bowl victory in 95 years. The time has come to turn the page on …
It is difficult to find a school that has had more success across the entirety of its program than the University of Oregon over the past year. It may have been lost somewhere amidst a Rose Bowl victory, post-season tournaments and two national championships, but Oregon was also conference champs in another sport — lacrosse. Oregon lacrosse, a club sport …
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 …
Wow! Now that is some news. LSU kicking the “Honey Badger” off their team right before the season starts. We are less that three weeks away from the season starting and I am sure LSU can grab a solid replacement from Penn State before the season starts, since they already took a Penn State QB. Congratulations to Southern Poly Tech …
My wife and I are shopping for a new car. The first thing we had to do was decide just what we wanted the car to say about us. First we need something that reflects my status as a successful internet columnist/reporter. At the same time reflecting the living I’m actually making as a successful internet columnist reporter. I …

Here at FishDuck, it is no secret that we love football, Oregon Duck football specifically. With the new season looming mere weeks away, there is no denying the growing buzz in Eugene and around the nation as fall practices have begun. We are almost there. But while preparations mount for the season to come, there are a few Ducks across …
There is no position on the Oregon roster heading into the season with more question marks, and cause for hope, than at wide receiver. The Ducks return a wealth of talent, but not since Jeff Maehl has there been consistency at the position. Stepping into the limelight joining the fold are the much anticipated trio duo of redshirt freshmen, adding …
Each week FishDuck.com’s Kurt Liedtke (better known as Keeerrrttt1) speaks with current/former student athletes, other FishDuck contributors, and outside experts in a one-on-one conversation–the FishDuck.com One-On-One. This week Kurt is joined by Oregon Ducks receiving legend Keenan Howry, who played at Oregon 1999-2002 setting nearly every receiving record at the university at the time. Keenan discussed how he became a …
It’s almost here… A mere 24 days separate us, the Duck Faithful, from our first pilgrimage to Autzen Stadium. Monday saw the opening of fall camp where storylines, both longstanding and newly exposed, will ever-increase our anticipation leading up to the 2012-13 season opener. Apparently there’s a quarterback battle taking place? Where will veteran wideout Josh Huff fit into an offense …
Sure, it may be less than a month until the 2012 season, but with the installation of a new four-team playoff structure this off-season (set to begin in 2014), it is as good of a time as any to ponder what teams should have made the playoffs in the 15 years of the BCS’ existence. Nearly every year one or …
Oregon is positioned to have the biggest breakout year on defense in my lifetime! Many of us know of the extraordinary athletes on defense, but now we are becoming aware from the last three defensive video tutorials of the carefully crafted strategy on defense formulated by Defensive Coordinator Nick Aliotti. The title sounds…wacko, yet you know I frequently like to …
