“Once you fully understand your craft, that’s when you can truly move from average to good, and then from good to great.” –Darrion Weems, Oregon Tackle (2007-2011) Football glory, those moments when legends are made, are generally reserved for the “skill position” players; quarterbacks throwing for touchdowns, running-backs making long runs, and receivers reeling in athletic catches. All too often, …
Sometimes the best entertainment about our Ducks can come from scrimmages of the past. This report below was written on April 22nd of 2005, when Dennis Dixon was just a Redshirt Freshman and Kellen Clemens was going into his senior season. The interesting perspective that time gives us! Long before FishDuck.com existed, there were FishDuck scrimmage reports. When spring came …
Each week FishDuck.com’s Kurt Liedtke (better known as Keeerrrttt1) speaks with current/former student athletes, other FishDuck contributors, and outside experts in a one-on-one conversation–the FishDuck.com One-On-One. This week Kurt was joined by University of Oregon graduate Dan Rubenstein, the SI Campus Tour Guide, co-host of the Solid Verbal Podcast, and co-ancher of SBnation video. His extensive work in the media …
Follow me on Twitter: @MarkDFlores Be sure to like us on Facebook: FISHDUCK.COM Football Recruiting Offers/News While the focus of Oregon’s spring rests predominantly on the shoulders of events transpiring inside The Mo, the Ducks continue to make tracks on the recruiting trail, handing out a pair of offers to athletes Conner O’Brien (3-Star/Santa Margarita, CA) and lineman J.D. Hinnant …
“Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you” is one of the most important phrases in American history. It doesn’t seem like much, and you may be wondering–what does it have to do with Ducks athletics? History buffs…you know where I’m going with this. These were the first words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on his new patented invention …
This is the first NEW Fish Tutorial about the Oregon Offense since last August! We reviewed changes and interesting plays throughout the season with Fish Reports, and in the off-season we have had fun learning about some new components of the Oregon Offense in bite-size shorter videos The FishDuck Minutes. However much of the important basic elements of the unique …
The Oregon Ducks roster from 2007-2010 is the next generation’s favorite team, the admiration of most 21-and-under’s across the country; and for good reason, this ain’t your granddad or father’s Oregon Ducks. The offense has transitioned like a locomotive, from Andy Ludwig’s pro set offense, to Gary Crowton’s in-development spread, and now to Chip Kelly’s innovative spread scheme with a …
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 …
My old friend, I.C. Green, was staring into his beer by the time I walked into Rennie’s Landing across from campus. He had that far-off look on his face, the kind he always gets when he’s lost deep in thought about the Oregon Ducks and their football program. “What’s up,” I said to I.C., more of a statement than a …
I can’t be expected to be funny today. I’m working under a great deal of stress. This is the weekend that makes strong men cower and weak men crumble. Monday is tax day. Sure, I could have done my taxes earlier, but I had to wait for my Form 1120-F ”Deductions Allocated to Effectively Connected Income Under Regulations Section 1.861-8″, …
Long before FishDuck.com existed, there were FishDuck scrimmage reports. When spring came around, if the Ducks were practicing I’d do my best to document it all. These reports would get passed around various Oregon websites to much fanfare, the fervor over these largely was the motivation behind starting this website. However, as we all know Oregon has now decided to …
Do “Top 5” lists leave you feeling empty inside, wanting more? But, you don’t have enough time, before your boss catches you to click through another exhausting, lengthy and predictable “Top 10” slideshow? Well, look no further! Yeah, you read the title correctly. Introducing the “Top 7” list. Boom. Now some of you might be asking/saying to yourself, “I’ve seen …
