Custom says that tonight Times Square drops the ball. Ducks resolve that the ball doesn’t drop unless we say it drops. Custom says, tonight is a night to get lit up. Ducks resolve that Montee Ball gets lit up. Custom says confetti at midnight. Ducks resolve, Gatorade bath for Chip at about 5:30. Custom says somebody is going …
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. It’s a little off-the-cuff, perhaps slightly pretentious, somewhat rambling, and hopefully entertaining…so kick back, relax, drink up, and …
This is the second part of looking back at plays, formations, and strategies to give my best FishDuck probability percentages as to what we will see as a Rose Bowl game plan. It’s entertaining to look at footage, ponder the possibilities, and see if we can do any better guessing what Chip is up to than the Wisconsin coaches. Let’s …
It was New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2001. A year with many twists and turns was about to draw to a conclusion, and everyone prepared for only the second official year of the new millennium. The world had yearned for the year 2000, but had to wait another year for the official new millennium to begin, as had been explained …
With the big game less than a week away and Oregon fans descending on Los Angeles to indulge the final Oregon football game of the season, we at FishDuck thought it was as good of a time as any to let you know about all the great events happening around the Rose Bowl. See, for anyone who has gone to …
On New Years Day in 1890 the first Rose Parade was held in downtown Pasadena, CA; devised as a way to entice people from the east coast to purchase real estate in Southern California, an effort to convince those with deep pockets to escape the cold winter weather for sunny Southern California. “In New York, people are buried in snow, …
In this video we’re going to have some fun looking back at some plays and formations to try to figure out what Chip Kelly might throw at Wisconsin. We’ll look at game footage and determine a “FishDuck Probability” of seeing that play, formation, or strategy in the Rose Bowl Game Plan. “Oh how we love to learn about our beloved …
The Oregon Ducks landed in Pasadena yesterday, and the final build up to the Rose bowl has officially begun. It has been 25 days since the Ducks clinched the inaugural Pac-12 Championship, and it is about time for some football! This week, we take a look at the key Wisconsin special teams-specialists, and how they have fared this season. The …
Win or lose the Rose Bowl on January 2, this year’s Oregon squad has already earned a special distinction: one of the 20 greatest seasons in the history of a team that has been playing football since 1894. After all, this year’s regular season produced only the Ducks’ fifth outright conference title (along with 1994, 2001, 2009 and 2010) and …
It’s about time to win a Rose Bowl, “Cheese Badgers don’t care…” I quite honestly could have stopped there and just had that be this week’s entry, but come on now, FishDuck doesn’t do weak sauce like that & neither do I! 1917. No that’s not the number of push ups Duckie has done this season (by the …
OK, Duck fans, let’s be real here, let’s think big. It’s the morning of Dec. 25. You are about to tiptoe to the Christmas tree stationed in the living room. You are about to start snipping the ribbons, ripping the paper, popping the boxes. You are about to uncover socks, jackets, sweaters, ski boots, iTunes cards, Kindle tablets and HDTVs. …
It’s a cold morning at 90 degrees north latitude. The big fella hops into his chariot on skis annnndddddd…away he goes. He drops in at New Zealand and then Australia where he refuels with a Vegemite sandwich along with his milk and cookies. He sails across the open sky to Kazakhstan, Belarus, Greenland and the U.K. before heading north on …
