My FishDuck Friends, this is a difficult analysis to do because I cannot sugar-coat it as I would like. You all know that I love what Dan Lanning is building at Oregon and I believe fervently that he is the coach who can take us to a first ‘Natty, but I will not suck-up to any coaching staff as other …
My FishDuck Friends, I was going through the game looking at the failure of the offensive line, (upcoming article on Friday) and I could not help but notice how Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel seemed to only have eyes for Terrance Ferguson, or other short routes. As much as I loved my fun at exclusive LeoVegas bonus and taking advantage of …
Year 3 of the Dan Lanning era starts on Saturday. He has enjoyed a brilliant start to his tenure at Oregon, going 22-5, but there is still much left undone for the Ducks. This is Oregon’s first year in the B1G and it is going to require a team effort to get the Ducks to the promised land, a National …
I have been pleasantly surprised at all the attention given to Oregon by major sportswriters around the nation in the past two months. Certainly that and the inflatable Duck at the B1G Media meetings have made an impression on our upcoming B1G opponents, yet I really don’t think they believe it. I took a moment from my discover more on …
What if… With expectations higher than I suspect any of us can remember as OBD get ready to open the season, I thought it might be worth looking at just how improbable this run has been from “…the worst of times,” to what is now perhaps, “…the best of times” with the grass now being “…damn green.” Mr. FishDuck took time …
Our Oregon Ducks football program has seemingly become a recruiting powerhouse overnight. The team was already great, but now they’re a top choice to win the whole thing. Kirk Herbstreit was so bullish on the Ducks this past week, he said, “I may have Oregon winning it all.” At this point, there’s a ton of validity to how highly he …
Recently I posted the beginning of a planned multiple article look into Dan Lanning’s goal to elevate Oregon Football from Good to Elite in the OBD forum. Today I want to begin focusing on areas of improvement, starting with the external.When I spoke to Mr. FishDuck about this topic, he took time aside from his fun at IPL betting cricket …
As a transplanted Iowa Hawkeye, I thought it might be fun to pass along a few thoughts (irreverent ones, perhaps) on some of OBD future opponents from the Midwest and beyond. I was able to pull Mr. FishDuck from his fun with roobet crash game to hear his enthusiasm about our upcoming B1G games, and meeting their fans. Starting with …
2023 saw one of the most experienced Oregon teams in memory playing high-level football from the start of the season until the very end. But with some recent announcements, 2024 looks to see an even more experienced group. The Stud Linebacker Jeffery Bassa announced his return to Eugene, in a move that was only a little surprising. Bassa has turned his …
The Oregon Ducks will end the 2023 regular season as the nation’s No. 2 offense, according to ESPN — and offense that racked up 527 yards of offense and 44 points per game. A huge part of this success has been the play designs of first year offensive coordinator, Coach Will Stein. He picked up where Coach Kenny Dillingham left …
I am sick of the pretentious articles by John Canzano and other writers who portray the Beavers as the aggrieved party in the Pac-12 dissolution, painting them as noble heroes fighting a righteous battle as the little guy against the Genghis horde of ten other Pac-12 programs. It is wrong, and it is emblematic of modern day journalism that presents …
As I write this article, according to ESPN, the Oregon Ducks sit as the number two passing offense in the nation as it relates to yards per game, at 339. A lot of that has to do with the shear amount of talent on offense, including a quarterback in Bo Nix who has seen just everything a defense can throw …
