  • Fentress is painful to listen to

    I can’t listen to this show anymore because Fentress only sees the Ducks through hate-colored glasses. He may often be right, but it’s impossible to tell because he can’t admit ANYTHING good about the Ducks. Sure, George has a hard time saying anything bad, but at least he can do it from time to time.

  • Insufferable

    Two people talking over themselves might be entertaining to some but this latest episode was insufferable.

  • Awful

    I don’t write podcast reviews. The host is fine but the other guy has no clue how to speak normally to people, let alone be promoted on a podcast. If I was a sponsor, id pull my funding immediately. This doesn’t represent Duck fans well.

  • More of the same:Football and more Football

    I was excited to find a podcast about Duck’s athletics, especially by a publication like The Oregonian. Unfortunately this isn’t so much a sports podcast as it is a football podcast. Sure, cover football, they’re doing good this year, that’s exciting. The show would be 90% better if they covered more than 90% football. Our volleyball team in the NCAA tournament, and our basketball teams are both doing great this year. And many teams have had far more exciting seasons in the past 10 years than ou... more

  • James is best beat reporter Ducks have had

    Excellent podcast as James does a excellent job covering the Ducks. He is honest, thorough and has a funny snarky side to him as well.

    Great work James and Go Ducks!

Oregon Ducks headed to Tokyo, video game love, Chris Hampton's defense
Q: What do you feel like that you can bring and raise it to the next level?

Q: Do you think Wisconsin can win this football game?
No, I believe there's a world where a couple of things can happen for Wisconsin, but they are significantly less likely to win.
Does No. 6 Oregon look vulnerable after win over Wisconsin?
Q: If you're off to Novasad, though, how do you come back next year?
There's no way unless Dante goes pro and you think you can win the job, maybe.
