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 …
Every Saturday, the FishDuck team takes a lighter side look at the world of sports… Announcer: (Whispering) ”Hello, I’m Biff McClain, pretty legendary reporter for Universal Fish. I’m hidden inside a broom closet in the home of Harry Lungwallop, star defensive end recruit from Matters Much High School in Santa Ana, California. I’m here to report the inside …
Last Sunday the Ducks and Beavers played against one another for an NCAA-record 336th time. Contrary to the typical talk about the Civil War, the electrifying exchanges about Sunday’s clash before and during were not so much about the game itself. Rather, the conversation was about all of the details that make this rivalry so intense. As it should be. …
National Signing Day Football Recruiting: In a college landscape where programs across the country attempt to one-up their BCS neighbors through “constructive comparative analysis,” a.k.a. mudslinging, the Duck’s recipe for success on the recruiting trail is centered on forward thinking and innovation. Having listened to the conventional living-room talking points ad nauseum, recruits are being drawn to the program famous …
Each week FishDuck.com’s Kurt Liedtke will be speaking with current/former student athletes, other FishDuck contributors, and outside experts in a one-on-one conversation, the FishDuck.com weekly video podcast. This week Jared Light of AddictedToQuack.com joined the One-on-One. Jared and Kurt reflected on the hilarity of ATQ’s comment threads and content, Oregon’s recruiting, the idiocy of fans contacting recruits, men’s basketball and …
It’s that time of year again. The coaches of the PAC-12 North, the only division in the conference that matters until further notice, have scoured the nation looking to woo the highest rated prospects they can possibly sign. The fan bases of each program generally break into two factions every February–positive and negative. It’s either “We’ll be fine no matter …
What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday, some Oregon fans wondered nervously about the future of the football program. Scenes similar to the photo below were a common sight just a week ago. Fast forward one week, and things are looking as bright as ever for the Ducks. This past weekend, the feeling among Duck fans was more like this: On Sunday, the mood …
Here is the beginning of “The FishDuck Minute” where I will take a play or concept and break it down in a short and concise way to make it easy for Oregon fans to learn, “a bite at a time” like I do! We’ll have them released on Tuesday each week, so let others know about “Video-Time Tuesday” at FishDuck.com. …
From the first football game played at Oregon in 1894 (a 46-0 victory over Albany College) to the Ducks’ 45-38 victory in the Rose Bowl a few weeks ago, Oregon has been extraordinarily fortunate to maintain coaching stability for the vast majority of its history. The University of Oregon has long been a place of tremendous individual talents, even when …
You can feel the relief, even now. A week has passed since Oregon coach Chip Kelly appeared to be out the door on the way to the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers only to let it be known in the midnight hour he wasn’t going anywhere. For the Duck fans who stayed up until the story played itself out, it was …
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.

Charcoal Sunday (almost black but, at the end, not quite) was a heart attack in the making. I was wandering around the house, muttering about the 49ers. “Sassafraassin’ Kyle sassafrassin’ Williams, mutter ‘sassaf’, mutter, mutter, spit, mutter sassafrassin’.” I tried to feel better. I read my email. Hmmm…male enhancement…must be a notification about changes at the post office. Hmmm…single …
