Up until now there has been a dark cloud hanging over the Oregon Ducks Womens Soccer program, and it hasn’t been the typical winter/spring rain cloud either. This has been much darker and nastier than the usual Eugene Cumulo-Nimbus that casts its consistent drizzle on the rain-soaked bowl in which Eugene rests. The previous seasons were filled with sub-par finishes, …
Haloti Ngata entered Oregon in 2002 as the most prolific defensive player in the history of the school, tasked with taking the program to the next level as the next generation of Oregon athletes following in the wake of the unprecedented success of the Joey Harrington-era. By the time he left in 2005, following his junior year (which included a …
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 …
I am sad to say it has been an uneventful week for most college football fans. Now if you’re a college baseball fan then the fun has just begun. Well if you need your college football fix then you have come to the right place. Watch this video and tell me you are not excited for college football. It …
Free association, anyone? I study a news photo Friday of caged ducks being sputtered off to market in Vietnam (a sad sight if there ever was one); from there, I jump to recalling where some Duck football players ended up in past off-seasons (I know, my bad); which, in turn, has me pondering news about the team since its Jan. …
June 2nd, boys and girls. Time to plan the vacation that your kids will be talking about for years to come. We at the international headquarters of FishDuck’s worldwide holdings are honored that you have chosen to look to us for your vacation planning needs for the summer of 2012. Sometimes it’s fun to visit the cities that house other teams during the offseason. …
Anyone who has read my various musings over the years knows that I am not into conducting amateur psycho-analysis on opposing fan bases. That said, every so often, the “real world” intrudes and basically confirms what I already suspect about the opposition. Such an intrusion was recently captured in a photo at Goss Stadium in Corvallis during Civil War baseball …
The Oregon Ducks further cemented their reputation for explosive offensive prowess in 2011. Nationally, when people start to talk about Oregon, the words Nike and points are not far behind…lots and lots of points. Right along with uniforms and speed, the Ducks seem to be viewed as a trifecta of all of these attributes, and for good reason. In 2011, …
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 cornerback Anthony Gildon, who came to Oregon in 2007 alongside fellow Oaks Christian High School teammate Casey Matthews. A talented athlete, Gildon still holds the record …
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 …

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 …
