About The Quack Report

I listened to Oregon games on the radio as a kid. I wore Duck gear to school 90% of the time in middle school and high school. I wore it with acne and bad breath and did not care. I watched ESPN at midnight as a teenager hoping they would show one Oregon highlight. I was on the jumbotron at Autzen as a baby. I walked the bridge over the Willamette to the stadium hundreds of times. I have been to College GameDay at 3 in the morning holding signs in the dark.

I was there Halloween night 2009 when we put 47 on USC and the student section was in costumes. I was in Glendale when Cam Newton beat us by three and Dyer's knee was on the turf and the ref didn't blow the whistle. I was in Arlington when Ohio State scored 34 unanswered and everything went quiet. I was at Autzen in the absolute downpour against Cal my freshman year. I was there when we lost to Washington on a last-second field goal and the championship run with Bo Nix ended. I was in college when Mariota was QB. I watched Dixon go down at Arizona and felt the season end in real time. I watched Masoli be a battering ram. I sang Return of the Quack and I Love Roses.

I have tailgated all day with full buffets, family, friends, and football scrimmages in the parking lot. I have been kicked out of Autzen for being too drunk. I have cried over losses and lost my voice celebrating wins. I still wear Duck clothes 80% of my life. My favorite players, in no particular order: Marcus Mariota, De'Anthony Thomas, Justin Herbert, Jeremiah Masoli, Dennis Dixon, Tez Johnson, Joey Harrington, Haloti Ngata, LaMichael James. I have been obsessed with stats since I was a kid, and now I am obsessed with recruiting, transfer portals, and analyzing matchups. This site exists because I could not find one that told the Oregon football story the way I actually experienced it.
