Our Oregon Ducks football program is right in the thick of the offseason, and has an incredible slate of games to look forward to this fall.

The Pac-12 is Dead; Let Chaos Reign
The Pac-12 was the conference of cannibals and usually the most chaotic conference in the country. It was certainly one of the most interesting and entertaining to watch because, on any given week, anyone could beat anyone. Mr. FishDuck took some away from studying odds to win the Super Bowl, and enjoying Super Bowl Props to agree with my contention …
Oregon Ducks Football: Who Was Your Favorite Duck of 2023?
The 2023 season of Oregon Ducks football was a fantastic one, to say the least.

Putting Lanning’s Second Year into Perspective
This football season was a success for Oregon football. Now, it doesn’t feel that way because it was just a few points short of being so much more, but we have to remember that this is only Dan Lanning’s second year as a head coach, anywhere. In his first two seasons at Oregon he has put together a 22-5 record …
Oregon Is Going to Be Old in ’24
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.

Oregon Ducks Spring Ball: Who’s on Your Radar?
For those of us that missed the Fiesta Bowl, it was a fitting ending to the Ducks season. Complete domination on offense, stifling defense with numerous takeaways.

Lanning Will Need to be B1G in Year 3
Dan Lanning has put together two good seasons in his first two years as a head coach, and as fans we have seen him grow. For the 2024 recruiting cycle, he brought in the best prep recruiting class in Oregon history while also landing a major quarterback transfer in Dillon Gabriel. The offense is efficient and the defense will continue …
How Does Oregon Stack Up to Their 2020 Selves?
My last full season writing about the Oregon Ducks culminated with them winning the Pac 12, and due to the pandemic, playing in the Fiesta Bowl against Iowa State. Unfortunately the Ducks were, shall we say, uncompetitive in that game, against a team that it was perceived they had more talent than. This year the Ducks started off their attempt …
Oregon Ducks Football: Score Predictions for the Fiesta Bowl
Our Oregon Ducks football program will finish the season on New Year’s Day next week.

The Fiesta Bowl is a Must-Win Game for Lanning
Oregon is set to play Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl on January 1st. For many Oregon fans, this game isn’t all that interesting or exciting for a couple of reasons. One, it’s not a playoff game and it feels like a consolation prize for a season that could have been something really special. Two, it’s against No. 20 Liberty, a …
