Under Par: Eugene’s not just a city you know

FishDuck Staff Editorials

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 …

FishDuck Staff FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

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.

The Women’s Track & Field team added a national championship of their own by taking the indoor title, …

Knocking off those Duck hats

FishDuck Staff FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

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 …

Mom Deserves More Than a Card, Bucko!

Kim Hastings FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

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 …

FLYOVER COUNTRY—47 Letters

Canard Humor

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 …

Josh White History

No, this isn’t a feature on an offseason weight loss competition insprired by a popular TV show matching two historically feeble football rivals. Sorry if that is what you were expecting based on the title, as funny as that might be to imagine. Instead, consider this as a head-to-head battle between two of the undisputed worst teams in conference history, slugging it out for title of …

A Step Away From College Football’s Elite

Josh Schlichter History

When College Football fans list off the best games in recent history, it usually starts with the USC-Texas National Championship matchup in the ’05-’06 season, the OU-Boise State game, or the Texas Tech-Texas matchup in Lubbock. All, “usual suspects,” when it comes to instant classics, and are definitely deserving of their ranking, but there is one game from the 1998 …
