Do Schedules of SEC Playoff Contenders Match the Odds?
In today’s world of College Football (CFB), there are more preseason rankings than there are attempts to solve for Pi. Mathematicians tell us that Pi cannot be solved; similarly, preseason rankings will never be spot on especially when we are referring to SEC teams. Yet, our Mr. FishDuck had to take a break from his gaming study at PA sportsbook ...

Autzen Stadium Ranks 9th Toughest in CFB to Play
Home advantage in sports has long been touted as a major factor in building a platform for success. When there is talk about turning a stadium into a “fortress”, it means that a location has an impenetrable feel about it, because the team that resides there, rarely ever loses on home turf. So how big of a fortress is Autzen ...

Your Team Disappointed in 2024? Wait Until Next Year!
My Dear Old Dad passed at 98 years of age, and he waited for over eight decades, ‘Until Next Year’, which finally happened in 2004. It took 86 seasons for his Beloved Red Sox to overcome the curses of trading The Bambino (Babe Ruth) to the hated Yankees, and Fenway Park opening on the night the Titanic went down. Mr. ...

Oregon Football: Dakorien Moore’s Ceiling in 2025
Our Oregon football program took a massive blow this offseason, losing Evan Stewart for the foreseeable future as WR1. We took some time post-injury to evaluate who would step up as WR1 now, since Stewart was a massive downfield asset for stretching defenses and allotting Dillon Gabriel time in the pocket last year. Dakorien Moore is a reasonable answer down the road, just ...

June Gloom and Doom Football Predictions
For me, June is a favorite time of year as the summer is kicking in, concerts are aplenty, and I know we have three months of nice weather to enjoy as we slide into football season. It is easy to predict the best possible regular season outcome for the Ducks. That would be 12-0. Which, if the Ducks execute and ...

Is Oregon’s NIL and Recruiting Ahead of Everyone?
Oregon is getting beat on the recruiting trail pretty badly this off-season. It’s been ages since the program has had a major win. It appears that Dan Lanning and Oregon’s main NIL cooperative, Division Street, may be changing their strategy, with a greater focus on spending NIL dollars in the transfer portal rather than on high school recruits. Mr. FishDuck ... Is Oregon’s NIL and Recruiting Ahead of Everyone? | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Oregon is getting beat on the recruiting trail pretty badly this off-season.

Oregon Players and the NFL Draft Over the Last 10 Years
A surprising ten players from Oregon were picked in the 2025 NFL Draft last month, the most over the last 10 drafts.

Oregon Football: The New WR1
This is not a conversation I wanted to have about Oregon football in June. In case you missed it, Evan Stewart is expected to miss most (if not all) of the 2025 season due to a torn patellar tendon. Following the injury, he addressed Duck fans with this message: “Don’t put a timeline on me.” As someone who believed in ...

Believing Congress to Rescue College Football?
Even with Saint Nick Saban co-chairing the newly formed Commission on College Athletics, I don’t believe Congress is prepared to ride in and fix what ails college athletics.

College Football 2025’s New Rules Review – Stop Lanning!
In 2024 Oregon head coach Dan Lanning seemed to have broken football. He found ways to exploit rules to his advantage, and the result was not one but two B1G blue bloods going down to the new blood Ducks. While one of these exploits got the most media attention as it resulted in a one-point win over the eventual National ...

Portal Killed the Recruiting Star
Back in 1981, Video Killed the Radio Star was the very first music video ever played on MTV. It represented a big change in the way media was absorbed and signaled a huge shift in the music industry.

FishDuck Finds Freshman Flashing Upside at Spring Game
Each year it becomes more evident that the talent level and experience on the defensive line at Oregon is becoming even deeper over the offensive line, and this year’s eleven sacks in the Spring Game confirmed that assertion.
