Our Oregon football program had a fantastic first season in the B1G, winning 13 games, and making it to the Rose Bowl after knocking off three of the conference’s best.

If this article was written a month ago it would be rather uncomplicated, but Chip Kelly recently took a shot at his former team and Dan Lanning’s absolute brilliant 12-man on the field play that sealed the Oregon win over Ohio State back in October.

We entered the 2024 season knowing that the 12-team playoff was upon us, but the impact was not truly felt until December, after the playoff had started. Since it has now fully been felt, I expect some changes in the ways that coaches strategize their regular season. Mr. FishDuck took a break from his review of valorant upcoming events to ...

Our Oregon football program is now a few weeks removed from the Rose Bowl loss, and Ohio State is facing up against Notre Dame. In what was easily the most unbearable watch of the season, the Buckeyes have looked unstoppable from January 1st on, and I expect more of the same in the National Championship game today.

Last week I wrote about how Oregon’s running offense needs to find an extra spark to generate more explosive plays. But the passing game also had its faults this season. It feels strange to pick apart a 13-1 season, but the reality is that the Oregon offense performed worse in 2024 than it did in 2023 as the team averaged ...

Outside of perhaps the most ardent Ohio State Buckeye haters among the Oregon faithful, we all wanted Ohio State to make mince meat of Texas to help ease the pain of Oregon’s Rose Bowl debacle. It did not happen. In fact, Texas played the Buckeyes tough until the end, leaving Oregon fans to bemoan, “Why the hell couldn’t we do that?!” ... Texas Makes Oregon Feel Even Worse | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com shares a few thoughts as Oregon enters into the offseason.

Our Oregon football program hasn’t taken a single day off since the season ended, and recruits have been flying in (and out) for weeks—even after signing day. Dan Lanning luckily has zero concept of taking his foot off the gas and had 13 wins in his third season with the Ducks to show for it. Now, we look to the 2025-2026 roster ...

Oregon’s run game in 2024 was good. At 13-1 with a B1G Championship under their belt, the Ducks were a very good team this year. However, the run game, like much of the offense in 2024, took a significant dip from 2023. That needs to change for 2025 as Dan Lanning and the Ducks will look to maintain their hold ...

As a fantasy football player (and 2024 league champion), I have to follow teams and players that I do not care about, such as the Cincinnati Bengals who have two elite wide receivers. Receiver 1A is Ja’Marr Chase, while receiver 1B is Tee Higgins. Occasionally, Chase goes on a mini-slump while Higgins simultaneously lights up the state line, which gets ...

The Rose Bowl was the most embarrassing game of Dan Lanning’s career. Even if Ohio State goes on to win the National Championship this year, this game will leave a sour taste in the entire Oregon community’s mouth. Unlike Lanning’s opening loss to Georgia in 2022, this one just stinks. Against that Georgia team, the Ducks were massive underdogs and ...

The 12-team Playoff is here and let all fans rejoice! That is, until Round 1 began and we saw just how large the disparity is between the highest-ranked teams and those lower in the bracket.

It is time. We have all discussed in the Our Beloved Ducks forum how Oregon has clearly not completely opened both the defensive and offensive playbook over the course of this 2024 season.

For 13 years, from 1984-1996, the NFL’s NFC conference dominated the league. They won 13 straight Super Bowls and mostly in commanding fashion. The NFC was just way better than the AFC in those days, as they usually had the four or five best teams in the league. Because of this, the NFC Championship (the semi-finals) had become the quasi-Super ...
