What an eventful past 22 days it has been for the Oregon Ducks, and for all of us as fans. Even after the football team has played it’s final down, the edge of your seat thrill ride just never stops. Now, there are some who are able to tune out the off-season noise altogether and really don’t pay much attention again until September. For …
A message from the FishDuck.com founders regarding the Chip Kelly rumors CHARLES FISCHER, a.k.a. FishDuck I called Kurt and left him a message to “get off that ledge.” I told my wife that if I’m not in bed in the morning to come to the kitchen and look under the dining table. If I’m in a fetal position and moaning…coax …
“You guys can do better than that,” announcer Don Essig implored to the Matthew Knight Arena crowd, which had already been cheering joyously for the Oregon football team as its players gathered at midcourt during halftime of Saturday’s basketball game against UCLA. “That’s your Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champion!” And with that, the crowd really roared to new eardrum-piercing heights. …
Duck Fans, I was honored to be able to sit down and talk with one of Oregon’s iconic legends of recent years, Dino Philyaw. Dino played running back from 92′-94′, and after some time in the NFL he is now back in Eugene, iconic in the community not for his football exploits but his cooking with his own catering company …

Will the nation’s No. 1-ranked high school lineman Arik Armstead of Elk Grove, Calif., end up at Cal, Notre Dame or Oregon? What about wide receiver Thomas Johnson of Dallas, Texas?

…acknowledgement needs to be made of the other Pac-12 teams’ performances in the bowl season. From the stalwart efforts from the far north, to the sublime holiday submissions from the steamy deserts of the southwest the Pac-12 went far and wide to uphold the glory that is…West Coast football. Returns were…mixed. Arizona State played Boise State in something called the …
With so much well deserved attention going to the men’s basketball program and their unexpected and impressive 14-5 (5-2) start, I think it is about time that we give the women’s team some some recognition as well. This season has not been quite as glamorous for the Lady Ducks as it has been for the men. The team currently sits in …
Greetings Fish Friends! Every week I create 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.
