What was once an obvious choice in a discussion has now become a question to many Oregon fans. Should an expansion take place on Autzen Stadium as bantered about, or are other options better for the Oregon Athletic Department? This is a subject of pondering that pulled me away from looking into casinos.com to get the top bonus offers as …
Our Oregon football program has a huge matchup lined up in the Rose Bowl, playing the winner of Saturday’s first round of the College Football Playoff: the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Tennessee Volunteers. Mr. FishDuck has a particular interest in this game beyond who plays Oregon, as he enjoys going to the Tennessee Sportsbooks for fun, and this weekend is …
The title might be a bit of a stretch, but these two Oregon football websites are more than just “sleepers” in the niche’. Only Dan Lanning has been a bigger surprise than FishDuck.com and the Our Beloved Ducks forum for Oregon fans, and the stunning reach to devoted Ducks. I’ve been pondering sharing these surprises with FishDuck readers, and decided …
Oregon was the only undefeated FBS team this season, and yet it feels like the Ducks have been repeatedly ignored on the national stage. Part of this feels warranted as the Ducks have done exactly what they were supposed to do every single week: win. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at Bet Sixty to share his …
The changes in college football has left us behind what the coaches are thinking and doing, and often as fans we are catching up to the new ways of thinking in the Portal/NIL era. It has been gradual, but over the last two seasons my opinion about quarterback recruiting and roster management has changed due to what the Ducks have …
As the dust has settled over the past week on how flawed the first-year, expanded college football playoff process is, Jon Wilner, of the San Jose Mercury’s “Wilner Hotline,” (sorry, paywall) came up with three major points on improving the CFP format and selection process. 1) Eliminate the Weekly Rankings Wilner feels the five Tuesday night broadcasts on ESPN to …
Dillon Thieneman will join our Oregon football program in 2025 as the top-ranked safety transfer in college football’s transfer portal. As the leading tackler on Purdue over the past two seasons (210 total tackles!!), he joins a Ducks roster that is poised for another run at the College Football Playoff. The 6-foot, 207-pound sophomore has the perfect opportunity to light a …
The No. 1 Oregon Ducks, fresh off a historic 13-0 regular season and Big Ten championship, sit perched atop the College Football Playoff rankings, waiting to defend their claim to college football’s throne. The Ducks’ New Year’s Day showdown in the Rose Bowl will pit them against the winner of the playoff opener between Ohio State and Tennessee, two very …
What a season it’s been for the Oregon Ducks. The team went 12-0 through the regular season and then on Saturday night they secured the B1G Championship by defeating Penn State. The Ducks have done what few predicted in their first year; they have defeated all the B1G blue bloods on their way to going undefeated. Even Mr. FishDuck spent …
I have to say that I was surprised by the results of the B1G recruiting for the 2025 class. Yes, there are some who will be signed in the February period, but over 90% of recruiting is done, and it was quite interesting to see the breakdown in Oregon’s new conference. I even had to take time away from my …
In the movie Rocky IV, after the death of his friend, former champion, and mentor Apollo Creed, Rocky had to carry the weight of the world on his back as he faced a seemingly invincible opponent in a six-foot-seven, evil, Apollo-killing, cold war era Russian named Ivan Drago. The Oregon Ducks, after the death of their dear friend, the conference …
Our Oregon football program scored 45 points in a win over Penn State this weekend, dominating the B1G Championship and vaulting themselves to a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. The next time you see them, they’ll be playing in the Rose Bowl—matched up with Tennessee or Ohio State on January 1st. After a 13-0 start, it’s hard not …
