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 wasn’t there mid-week. I was some 400 miles north-northeast in a place where snow has a far greater chance of coming down in late March than in little old Eugene. In Autzen Stadium. So when the photo popped up on Facebook, showing the Ducks’ home field all dressed in white, I studied the image closely, noting a thick coat …
I am a new man. No longer the man who averts his eyes when seeing opposing stadia for fear of creating a road rage pileup. No longer the half-crazed Duck fan, gone livid by the sight of a bumper sticker that isn’t Duck in origin here in Tacoma. No longer the groom who wrote, “Promise to love, honor, and cherish …
On the eve of February 16, 1974 University of Oregon students camped out in hopes of securing a coveted ticket to watch the home town Ducks take on top-ranked UCLA, a team who was coming off of it’s 7th straight NCAA Championship and had posted back to back 30-0 seasons. However, a month before, Notre Dame had managed to snap the Bruin’s incredible NCAA …
A forgotten three-year starter of the 90’s Oregon defense remains a valuable “behind the scenes” part of Ducks Athletics to this day. A rare recruit out of Alaska, Dietrich Moore opted to become a Duck, flying south for the winter in 1996 to settle in Eugene. Little did he know at the time, he would go on to shine as …

He may only be sophomore, but if there is one thing Robin Cambier has proven he can do at the collegiate level with his racket and on-court intelligence, it’s that he can play with, or against, the best in the world. I had the privilege to talk with Cambier recently and there are three things that are clear about him …
A big part of offensive success this year was Hroniss Grasu, #55 pulling and leading the way on outside “Stretch” plays, as coaches will call it.
