The day it happened was a memorable one, September 3rd, 2011. Outside, the thermometers in Dallas had been registering triple digits, a humid-but-windy true “Texas heat.” For those who haven’t had the pleasure, try to imagine the feel of standing in a wind tunnel fed by an industrial-sized blow dryer, with occasional whiffs of car exhaust and decaying plant life. …
The 1970s and early 80s were a tough time for Oregon football, a 20-year stretch of futility and hard luck that didn’t start to improve consistently until the Musgrave-era. However, for two years the tide appeared to turn, Oregon had back-to-back six win seasons in 1979 and 1980 thanks in large part to the addition of a junior college transfer …

Follow me on Twitter: @MarkDFlores Be sure to like us on Facebook: FISHDUCK.COM Basketball Recruiting News/Visits In the world of recruiting, the age-old phrase “win some, lose some” holds true. Prized power forward Anthony Bennett (5-Star/Henderson, NV/Rivals150) has opted to stay local and play his collegiate ball at unlv (no capitalization of opposing programs by this author). A serious contender to land …
It seems fitting that arguably the most dominant athlete in Eugene this year is Eugene…Wong, that is. Few have racked up the credentials and dominance in Eugene that has been exhibited by Oregon’s men’s golfer Eugene Wong. The senior from North Vancouver, BC has performed this year for the Oregon men’s golf team at levels that draw few parallels in …
It may have been an audacious title, but we think we can offer some insights that others have not. If it isn’t the best video analysis you’ll see, it’ll be in your top three.

In case you haven’t been paying much attention to the Oregon athletic program lately outside of football, it’s been quite a year all-around for the Ducks. Men’s Basketball, Volleyball, and Lacrosse all made post-season tournaments. Acrobatics & Tumbling became back-to-back national champions. The Women’s Track & Field team added a national championship of their own by taking the indoor title, …
The time period between the end of Oregon spring practice and when the buzz about the college football season starts in mid-July is always an agonizing and excruciating one. What to do, what to read, what to ponder…Oh, and what to write? That is, absent anyone going 118 mph down Interstate-5 with a spliff between their teeth. So I’ve come …

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 …
And if she doesn’t it’s probably our fault anyway. You see, Moms all pretty much start out the same way, full of hopes and dreams for their little bundle of baby powder-smelling wonderfulness. When we were born they counted our fingers and toes so many times you would think that they had forgotten how to count to ten. They sang lullabies …
History is replete with famous correspondence between luminaries, some of it philosophical, some religious, and some, shall we say, steamy. In an age when the postal service is fading away due to email, instant messaging, and video chat, and which sees that letter writing is becoming a lost art, something remarkable has taken place recently: A fully grown man in …
