Craig Strobeck Now that we are closing in on the last third of the season, I thought I would take the chance to rank the top 5 match-ups I would like to see for Oregon. Most of these matchups are unlikely to happen, but a couple of them actually are a possibility. Having looked at the many teams and what …
We had the usual big teams win today but a few upsets, as well, to make it another good Saturday of college football. There is nothing new from the top four teams — I think they are headed into a four-way tie at this point, but each of these teams are looking to win big. I feel sorry for whoever Alabama, …
This could be the best Saturday we have had in college football this season. The upset bug was at work all around the country. We are really starting to see who are the contenders (Alabama, Oregon, FSU) and the pretenders (Clemson, Georgia, LSU). Team stocks are rising for the contenders and falling for the others. We had teams in …
Not too many “BIG” games happening this week and the media was sure to let us know about it. Heck, ESPN’s Game Day went to Fargo, North Dakota, because of the lack of “BIG” games to go to. It was nice seeing them there just to give the “little” guys a shout out. We have had some great FCS …
How many of us have laughed at the wonderful GIFs (Graphics Interchange Format) of LSUFreek who poked fun at coaches, fans and teams in the south and east? We need a West Coast version, and thus the beginning of the FishDuck.com GIF Team to create the fun that our counterpart on the right coast has begun! We are building a team to …
Oh my goodness, two weeks until kick off and then we can finally quit all of this quiet time and bring the noise. Then we can start figuring out if the SEC will be re-re-re-re-re-re-re-repeat as National Champs or if someone else will steal the spotlight. I know for one thing, Texas A&M needs this season to get …
Three weeks until kickoff and the action is heating up. However, for some, specifically Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the only near-term action he will be seeing is in the court room. The NCAA has their hands full at this late hour thanks to the “Johnny Football” autographs mess. I think the NCAA needs to swallow their pride and start …
It’s still summer; still no actual college football games. This is probably the most boring moments of any college football fan’s life. Now it’s time to pay attention to all the “phantom” news and rumors about your favorite teams and players from around the country. Let’s get into some of those rumors and thoughts: 1. The war of words continues …
Things are heating up in the court room with the Ed O’Bannon vs. The NCAA lawsuit. With new info on EA SPORTS replicating student-athletes, it does not look good for the NCAA. This is one case I am paying close attention to this summer because it has the potential to change EVERYTHING in college football. College sports could officially …
Next man up. That mantra doesn’t apply only to the roster, it applies to Oregon’s coaching staff as well. 1977 was the last time the Ducks didn’t hire their previous offensive coordinator to fill their head coaching vacancy. On Sunday, Mark Helfrich became the latest one to follow that path, and in doing so allowed a staff that had previously …
