Each week, as the competition ratchets up a few clicks, the No. 1 Oregon Ducks issue a powerful rebuttal to every Doubting Dave and Handwringing Harry. And with each win, the Ducks burrow further into their rightful perch atop the national rankings like a tick hopelessly embedded in one’s scalp. This Saturday was no different. In the days before No. …
After years of heartbreaking defeats and losing the “Big One” over and over, a midseason Big Ten matchup proved the game that would silence years of criticism, fair and unfair, against the Ducks. With the eyes of the nation upon Autzen Stadium on Saturday night, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks changed the narrative, defeating No. 2 Ohio State 32-31 to …
After a series of bizarro non-conference games, the No. 6 Oregon Ducks opened their Big Ten schedule with a 34-13 road victory over the UCLA Bruins in a midnight clash at the Rose Bowl. The Ducks improved to 4-0 for the second-straight season, gaining some traction in the AP rankings after backsliding due to underwhelming victories. Since sleepwalking past Idaho …
The No. 9 Oregon Ducks have a bye this week after trouncing in-state rival Oregon State 49-14 last weekend in Corvallis. The Ducks (3-0) hit refresh after two weeks of weird, buggy nail-biters against less talented opponents that effectively deflated the preseason hype balloon. I pulled Mr. FishDuck from his fun at nové online casino to review the unusual position …
After two weeks of lukewarm Oregon football, Ducks fans can sleep a little easier. No labored breathing, chest pain, night sweats, irritable bowels and midnight calls to urgent care this weekend. No, sir. Not for this guy. The No. 9 Ducks (3-0) FINALLY lived up to their billing, delivering a long-awaited 49-14 butt-whuppin’ of the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday …
Fans and pundits took to social media to express their disappointment over the No. 3 Oregon Ducks‘ 24-14 season-opening win against the Idaho Vandals. In most dimensions of the multiverse, the Ducks steamroll the lowly Vandals, and the postgame cleanup crew peels them off the astroturf with a spatula. Mr. FishDuck took time from his fun at online sports betting …
Like a majority of college football teams, the Oregon Ducks didn’t play this weekend, leaving a gaping void inside the green and yellow hearts eagerly awaiting the start of another exciting college football season. While there are so many things to look forward to starting next week, including a new stud quarterback (Dillon Gabriel), a new conference (Big Ten), and …
When you think about the state of Oregon, the first thing that comes into your mind are the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture that characterize the region. However, the state also prides itself on its rich and diverse sporting scene. Right from traditional sports such as basketball where the Portland Trail Blazers are popular, football at University of Oregon, and …
Somebody had to lose. In a long history of gridiron battles, the first-ever top 10 matchup between longtime Pacific Northwest rivals the No. 8 Oregon Ducks and No. 7 Washington Huskies was a doozy — a titanic slugfest between two very polished teams. This time, the Dub ended up with the “W.” After the game, a close friend of mine …
After Saturday’s football clinic in Eugene, it would be easy to take potshots at Colorado and mercilessly crow over the Buffs’ 42-6 loss at the hands of the No. 9 Oregon Ducks. The final score speaks for itself. Of course, the most succinct and well-phrased game description came from Colorado head coach Deion “Prime Time” Sanders in his postgame interview: …
Of all the stats this weekend, the most impressive was The Duck’s 546 push-ups during No. 15 Oregon’s 81-7 beatdown of Portland State on Saturday at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Seriously impressive. Mascots aside, the Oregon Ducks’ Week 1 showing was everything fans were hoping for and a little bit more. Scratch that — a whole lot more. In their …
In Autzen Stadium there is a jumbotron that shows highlights, stats, hype videos, and several other pieces of information. One thing that the jumbotron displays is the pushup count for the Duck. For those who are uninitiated, the University of Oregon mascot does pushups equivalent to the teams total score whenever the Ducks score. On Saturday against Portland State, the …
