Charles Fischer

Oh Kirby!

From a Miami forum...(above)

And a THIRD! We find out Wednesday!

And another!

He is playfully saying what everyone is thinking, and yet it is not true. I CANNOT IMAGINE that two-time National Champion Georgia does not have access to an equal amount of NIL resources....

The problem? There needs to be more room on Mr. Rushmore! I agree with the Bill Musgrave thoughts, but man....taking off LaMichael James is tough. He was the fastest, toughest back with elite vision at Oregon--hands down, IMHO. And where would we be without "The Pick?" Too many candidates, and not enough room. I get what was stated about Brooks, but it was Chip Kelly who took us to the National level and brought us a big part of what the current Oregon "Brand" is. (The CK of that time, not the CK we saw at UCLA) Good stuff for the offseason! Our first serious Heisman Candidate?

Amen Duck-Brother.

The Thieve Beavs? I don't think they want to mess with us...

Some things in life are "bad-or-bad" choices, while Oregon uniforms and helmet are choices that are "good-or-good." I like your helmet choice, and I like the new ones, but I especially liked this one from 2013...

Amen. This 2024 WR depth is very close to what we had the last time we went to the 'Natty in 2014. The two 2024 recruits could make some noise in this line-up as well.

We all have our pet-peeves, the topics that annoy us and we get riled-up about. I am gently informing all of you--for your benefit...about one of my anal items that I respond to quickly, and just hate. It is over-arching negative about college football, the future, Oregon,....any of it where you are going out-of-your-way to just paint negative about something that either has not happened, or is so obvious--that we already know, and blustering about it is not going to change or help. But some in the past just have to vent on us. We have a couple of Rules in No. 31 A-D concerning this, and you may have noticed lately when someone goes off about how bad NIL/Portal/College Football/Playoff/etc. how I respond quickly to it to say..."it is not that bad." In fact I wrote that recently. We Lost a Great Guy... We had a regular poster who went off the rails in this over-arching negative last fall. I took away his posting privileges because I was sick of seeing it--and I warned him several times. But I am a softy, and give people second chances, and gave him one recently since others have given me a second chance when I screw up. Well, that leopard did not change his spots. He picked up right where he left off, and I warned him with the first one, and with the second...he is now gone-for-good. Part of it is hassle-factor; I cannot have my time and energy drained from a few, and it is better to lose their posts. Besides--99.60% of the posts and you are GREAT! This site is meant to be a GREEN REFUGE from the nastiness of real-life. One of those distasteful areas in real-life is the massive negative, and deception in our media today. I am just SO SICK of it, and that cannot stand someone being an Eeyore in this superb community without cause. Don't Be Like Me So...No Negative, Charles? This is the difficulty I have with this....because then some will say that, "well I can't discuss any negative, because Charles goes nuts." WRONG. Negative events occur all the time, we lose recruiting battles, we lose games, we lose coaches, etc. We discuss this stuff because that is what you do in a forum, and not only is it OK, but I want that discussion. It is just when someone is painting an overall picture of doom, and negative when there is no need. I hate it. If you have any doubts...then email me charles@fishduck.com and I'll clear it for you. The vast majority of the time--you are all fine, and just wonderful OBD members. But some people are a natural Eeyore, and feel the need to vent on us. We are not their damn therapist's couch; we are the opposite. We are the GREEN REFUGE, the escape from all of that. And yes....I can be a bit much as a cheerleader, but there is SO MUCH to cheer these days! And yes, this is an anal, weird thing about me. So take a hint because I want all you here for an incredible season. Be Happy.

BTW, with McNutt--he is from Shaker Heights, Ohio--in the middle of Buckeye country. He visited, likes them, and has USC as a major competitor, but the biggest challenge to Oregon is Texas A&M at the moment. Find out Friday!

This was the rumored flip away from Oregon recently, but we have survived the scare. I have all the confidence in Mario to screw up the 'Cane season...

Somebody has to remind DJ....

Oregon WR verbal Isiah Mozee is a Rivals 4-Star receiver, and his dad now works at Nebraska? Not good... Although, when it comes to receivers--Oregon is loaded and Junior Adams can replace him. As it is, Oregon has four receivers in this class... Isaiah Mozee | DuckSportsAuthority N.RIVALS.COM Isaiah Mozee - 2025 4 Star Wide receiver for Lees Summit North (Lee's Summit, MO) on Rivals.com

This is what I mean about Miami....

My FishDuck Friends....go down to post No. 12, and read from there to get today's update. If Pickett comes to Oregon....this is Duck Recruiting History we are witnessing, as it really is THAT big. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DJ Pickett is an insane athlete, and a true Rivals 5-Star, while McNutt is a Rivals 4-Star, but a dandy. The word is Miami and Cristobal are pulling on the Florida player hard, and he has family connections with the 'Canes as well. Yet many sources think he is simply building up the suspense for his Wednesday announcement to Oregon. I don't know which he goes, but if he commits to the Ducks...this will set a new recruiting record with three of the coveted Rivals 5-Stars in one year. Two of Oregon's five-star targets to announce in next week 247SPORTS.COM Two of Oregon's five-star targets DJ Pickett and Trey McNutt are set to announce college decisions soon.

Agreed. The B1G schedule is going to be tough enough, no need to make it tougher with OOC games with teams we will face in the Playoffs. And yes, we will certainly play Alabama in the Playoffs in the near future, IMHO. No FCS teams on OOC, and frankly--the Pig-2 are taking enough from us. They do not deserve the revenue in playing us again. Say Bye...

I cannot copy the entire article from 247 Sports, but below are a few juicy quotes... "What stands out to me is that there's a lot of top tier talent left on the board, especially in that top 32 conversation," Cooper Petagna said. 'The job that they have done from top to bottom I think just goes to show... that this is not a one-off. " "About those 16 commitments, 13 of those guys are in the top 247. So, 13 of their 16 are in the top 250 ranked nationally. If you're talking to Oregon fans about what they've done, it's been pretty incredible, just not only the quantity but the quality." "They have a very aggressive approach on the recruiting trail, but it's also very calculated. It's not irresponsible. What I mean by that is they're not out there trying to win the perception battle every year. They're very calculated about where they're recruiting and who they're going head-to-head with."

"Saddest Party Ever" C'mon....you have to admit...that is FUNNY!

Well look at this....Oregon is ALREADY helping the image of the B1G, and we have not played a game yet!

Think that could help Hawaii recruiting? Portal Recruiting? If you look at his highlights...he threw a LOT of long balls for TDs, and that could be very fun at Autzen!

Referring to the "Reject-Duo" as the Pac-12 is an abomination to the history of our conference.
