Do you like the above nickname for the Oregon defense? I like how it rolls and rhymes so well, and I have to give credit to my friend, Ugly Duckling, for creating it with me. It just seemed so appropriate that an Oregon defense had some kind of moniker for what is evolving as a crucial element of this 2021 …
My FishDuck Friends, this is a contributed article from Haywarduck, who is a regular in the comments and a big part of our community. Thank you!

It’s a fair question when considering recent rosters in the NFL and Oregon’s recruiting, as it certainly has come a long way. …
If you haven’t heard by now, the Oregon Spring football game was canceled, and I’m sorry to break the news to you.
