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 …

Oregon Ducks Football: The Weakest Position Group

This is How to Make Bowl Season Matter Again
College football postseason bowl games have been pretty lackluster for the better part of the last decade. Bowl season used to be an award to teams with successful seasons. They used to be the pinnacle of the season, but now they are just another event in December. Mr. FishDuck took some time away from his fun with Fibonacci system for …
Oregon Ducks Football: New Wide Receiver U?
Nope, not clickbait. Our Oregon Ducks football program has a legitimate shot at becoming the next big school for wide receivers to flock to.

The Reality of NIL in CFB Recruiting Today
Dan Lanning and Oregon have been on an absolute tear these last few weeks. It has delightfully resulted in the tears of USC and Texas fans alike, and Lanning isn’t done yet.

Dan Lanning Has West Coasters Shook!
Dan Lanning, you absolute king. You must have noticed that Oregon is absolutely dominating on the recruiting trail right now. It is disgusting.

Football Roster Reductions Would be a Mistake
One proposed rule change coming up for college football is reducing the team rosters down to 85-95, but there is no consensus on the set number at this time. Part of this is in fear that soon schools will have to pay their players, and by reducing the roster size for football this will reduce the overall payout. However, there …
Oregon Ducks Football: Undefeated Season Incoming?
Our Oregon Ducks football program is currently favored (along with Notre Dame) to go undefeated through the regular season. The College Football Playoff is certainly a different story, though that sort of praise from the media early in the offseason places a massive target on the Ducks’ backs to be the proverbial “team to beat” in 2024. While this doesn’t necessarily …

Oregon Ducks Football: Will Bo Nix Start?
Our Oregon Ducks football program lost some huge pieces of the team’s identity this past offseason, and it’s rare that you can say the team looks completely fine after losses at quarterback at WR1.
