Morning Quack Fix: 1.12.09

Hello everyone. With the end of college football season, we here at ATQ are going to be restarting our daily link and comment thread. This will be a place to get your early Duck news, and more important, comment on these events. Let's start it off:

  • The Lady Ducks joined the Men's team by losing to ASU over the weekend, an 81-53 blowout. Oregon scored a measly 20 points in the first half, turning the ball over 16 times in the half and 24 times on the game.
  • In terms of the Men's Basketball team, there isn't much to say. The team is looking very terrible right now, and both Catron and Porter were benched in the second half due to poor play. If you haven't already, check out the article written yesterday on this subject by our very own dvieria.
  • On the football front, Schroeder looks back on the season, and with the way the basketball team is playing, it's a very good thing we have those memories. A great point that Schroeder makes is that this team grew up in front of us, as the season progressed, which is part of what made it special. We had a great group of seniors, and a bunch of younger guys improved mightily.
  • On the recruiting front, the Duck had a huge recruiting weekend. Not a lot of tangible results yet, though 3* LB Michael Clay will be making a decision tomorrow, and it sounds as if the Ducks will be the choice. RB Cameron Marshall also made a visit (his final overall), though he has no preference at this time. We're all waiting on DB Cliff Harris, though no word yet on his visit. UPDATE Harris loved his trip to Oregon, and he "can't see himself going anywhere else."
  • Lastly, it sounds as it Pat Kilkenny is trying to move the Civil War to a Thursday night in December (the week after Thanksgiving). This has a lot of Duck fans and Beaver fans upset. Normally, I don't like Thursday night football. In fact, I loathe it. Saturdays are for college football. However, being the week after Thanksgiving and on a Thursday night would be just fine with me. I hate football on Thanksgiving weekend, only because there are many people that are with family, and don't get a chance to watch much football. On top of this, college football after Thanksgiving takes a different turn. It is not as much centered around Saturdays, with the weather changing and Christmas starting to take center stage. The last Saturday of the season is always a bit lackluster. Because of this, I like the idea of Thursday night games at this time. It will give the universities more exposure (rather than competing with other championship games), and more people will most likely be able to watch it than the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I say keep Oregon football away from Thanksgiving. If that just happens to push it to a Thursday, so be it.
  • Also, everyone hates the BCS. Even the guys at SNL:

Taj Boyd says he's down to Ohio State and Oregon...

Link: Hopefully watching Masoli develop and Pryor not develop will be a big factor…

I would think it would go the other way

Because he sees how well a lower touted QB is developed in CK’s system as opposed to a 5* with all the tools hasn’t developed under tOSU’s system.

Fuck. ahhh there it is. Pretty good song SNL. Gotta love all that recruiting news. Michael Clay is from my roomies high school, he says they won CCS last season (Like winning state championship), gotta love winners. Right Masoli?

Ducks Go!
694, bam!

Another recruiting update...

Oregon got a commit from JC LB Bryson Littlejohn. First, I’m excited to be cheering for someone with that name. It rules. Second, I like 230 pound linebackers that run a 4.55 40. We need some more speed at that position to be able to guard TEs and rush the passer.

Oregon ends up in the Top 10 from the only poll that matters...

The Blogpoll is out, with Oregon coming in at No. 10.

wow

9,10, and 11 are pretty close – Jared you should have ranked Oregon 1 to finesse the polls and move Oregon over tOSU ;)

The Beavs jumped 8 spots with their Sun Bowl win! That’s fairly surprising.

It's spelled "M-A-R-C-H-I-N-G-B-A-N-D."

I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.

Probably a combo...

Of other people sucking, and the Pac-10 being awesome in the bowls, improving their resume.

Though I updated this above...

Cliff Harris loved his trip to Oregon. He won’t be announcing anything and will just be signing his letter of intent on signing day, but Oregon was his only (and should be) his only visit. From Harris: “Oregon is looking good now and I can’t see myself going anywhere else.”

Bryce Brown watch is still on.

This yesterday at Rivals.com:

The biggest news for the Ducks didn’t come from the long list of visitors in Eugene this weekend. Bryce Brown, the nation’s top-ranked running back, is committed to Miami and took an unofficial visit to Kansas State this weekend, but stated in an interview that Oregon sits at the top of his list.

Today Ducks Sports Authority posted a claim that USC might also be making a late run at Brown, the nation’s top-rated running back.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I thought Bryce Brown was the #4 RB.

Is a mancrush on LeGarrette Blount considered beastiality?

He’s the #1 overall on both ESPN and Rivals lists.
