  1. 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 ...

  2. 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 ... Autzen Stadium Ranks 9th Toughest in CFB to Play | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Home advantage in sports has long been touted as a major factor in building a platform for success.

  3. Week 12 vs. Minnesota on Friday, November 14, 2025 – Autzen Stadium – Eugene, Oregon – Fox 6 PM Pacific Oregon will play at Iowa on November 8th, making it a short week before the Ducks entertain the Gophers. Minnesota is off in Week 11 after hosting Michigan State in Week 10, thus the schedule favors the Gophers with a ... 2025 Football Schedule: Don’t Look Past Minnesota! | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Week 12 vs. Minnesota on Friday, November 14, 2025 – Autzen Stadium – Eugene, Oregon – Fox 6 PM Pacific Oregon will play at Iowa on...
  4. 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. ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 ... June Gloom and Doom Football Predictions | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com makes a worst case prediciton for the 2025 Oregon football season.
  7. 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.

  8. A surprising ten players from Oregon were picked in the 2025 NFL Draft last month, the most over the last 10 drafts. It was thrilling for Duck fans to see two players were picked in the first round, defensive tackle Derrick Harmon to the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21, and offensive tackle Josh Conley Jr. to the Washington Commanders at ...

  9. 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 ...

  10. 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. Even Mr. FishDuck is skeptical, and took a break to share his doubts with me. College sports need NFL-like Congressional relief from ...

  11. 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 ...

  12. 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. The transfer portal has done the same to college football regarding how teams acquire players. Even Mr. FishDuck had to take... Portal Killed the Recruiting Star | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com believes that the transfer portal in college football has taken much of the lustre off of recruiting.
  13. Duck Nation, buckle up and grab your rally hats — it’s postseason mayhem in Eugene, where both the Oregon softball and baseball teams are storming into the national spotlight, wings flapping, bats blazing, and dreams of Omaha and Oklahoma City coming true.

  14. The NCAA has a new slate of rules for 2025. I am going to summarize what these rules mean for the game and then give them a rating between 1 and 5 where 1 will be awful for the game and a 5 should be an amazing addition. ESPN published an article reviewing these new rules, which can be found ... Reviewing College Football’s New Rules for 2025 | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM The NCAA has a new slate of rules for 2025.

  15. 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. We are familiar with many of the names that have been waiting their turn on the defensive line, but the 2025 Oregon ...

  17. I hereby disavow my headline! Not that it isn’t the truth, it is. However, does going LARGE with out-of-conference (OOC) scheduling make sense when we have a Playoff format that’s senseless, coupled with a Playoff Committee that, unlike its college basketball counterpart when ranking teams, prefers whimsey over viable, disclosed to the public, metrics. Yes, the Playoff Committee in 2024-25 ... B1G & SEC 2025 OOC Schedules: BIG, Go to Your Room! | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM I hereby disavow my headline! Not that it isn’t the truth, it is.

  18. A few years ago the University of Oregon acquired a home for their Portland Campus, the former Concordia University campus in northeast Portland. I personally have a connection to this campus, as I received my Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Concordia University in 2015, and as an Oregon alum as well, I find it strange that the University ...

  21. Our Oregon football program has lost most of its 2024 offensive identity in the offseason. Tez Johnson, Dillon Gabriel, Jordan James, and Josh Conerly Jr. are a few of the many faces on offense we won’t see return to Autzen this upcoming season. Among the players that head coach Dan Lanning has added in the past few months, Nico Lamaleava should not ...

  22. For all the high-flying, high-scoring offenses the Ducks have put together over the past three decades, they have never had a dominating wide receiver. Nobody who went on to have a decorated NFL career. Meanwhile, LSU, Alabama and Ohio State seem to have receivers drafted in the first round of every NFL Draft. Our Mr. FishDuck took a break from his ... Did Oregon Finally Land a “Freakish” Wide Receiver? | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com believes that the Oregon Ducks might have a future NFL first round pick at wide receiver in Dakorien Moore.
  23. If there is one thing permanent about College Football (CFB,) it is CHANGE. There are rare exceptions, such as Tom Brady, a 6th-round draft pick out of Michigan in 2000, started at QB for the New England Patriots for 18 seasons, from 2001 through 2019. Almost two decades of not having to worry about the most critical position in football for the ...

  24. “Who (sic.) is college football’s (CFB) most popular team? An unscientific (and grammatically incorrect) study.” The above is the lead for a recent article in The Athletic (It has a pay-wall) which determined that Michigan, ironically, was CFB’s most fan-favorite team.

  25. This is another part in my ongoing series about the Oregon football schedule in 2025, but this article is dedicated to just one opponent because of the challenge it will present in November.
