Morning Quack Fix: 1.22.09

Another weekend of Pac-10 hoops is upon us. Much is being said of Oregon's trip to the Bay Area; plus a few other tidbits.

Mike Tokito of The Oregonian previews the upcoming Pac-10 games, and lists his keys to Oregon finally ending the conference losing streak.

John Hunt wrote an interesting piece on the Dunigan Project.

Bob Clark reminds us that history is not on Oregon's side. The Ducks simply do not win in Maples Pavillion.

Rob Moseley provides a quick update on the football program's ongoing search to fill two assistant coach positions. He also noted a SI.com article by Andy Staples who claims Oregon and Oregon State coaches are among the best at overcoming two critical recruiting obstacles: lack of a local talent pool and distance.

Scout.com is reporting that Oregon has landed a commitment from 3-star cornerback Brian Jackson from Hoover, AL. The Ducks edged out the likes of Alabama, Auburn and Florida. And did anyone else notice that 4-star JC safety Anthony Leon is now shown as a "soft verbal"? Evidently he wants to revisit Cal. I blame TwistNhisminions.

Baseball! Jason Vondersmith of the Portland Tribune takes a look at the short-term goals for Oregon's baseball program. Coach Horton says the Ducks have the talent to immediately compete for the playoffs.

And a little politics... Rachel Bachman of The Oregonian writes that the State of Oregon must abolish lottery-run sports games or it will lose its right to host NCAA Men's Basketball tournament games after the 2009 season.

That's a pretty flashy rig...

for an old-schooler like Brooks. That said, I think I’ll hold out for the Chip Kelly Edition, black on black (hold the wings) with the LeGarrette Blount BFT Urban Assault upgrade.

Hmmm

As much as I like Rich Brooks, that comes across to me as celebrating mediocrity. Rich himself may even think it’s bullshit. :)

Someone had to say it.

I was thinking… God, how bad was their football team before Brooks arrived? Now they’re treating him like a King? I mean honestly, would ’Zona fans be into the Mike Stoops Special Edition?

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.

To be fair

Brooks got us to one Rose Bowl in how many years, and we named the field after him…Which raises the question, what are we going to do for Bellotti? Build a new building?

Kumquats and Bananas

After two shitty coachs, Don Read and Dick Enright, the cupboard was bare. Oregon football was horrible when Brooks took over. Bellotti on the other hand inherited a Rose Bowl team.

That's really exciting about baseball...

It’s pretty awesome that we have a great coach right out of the gate. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch a game or two, even being in Chicago.

For those that are around, we should get a nice ATQ presence at the spring game this year. I believe admission was free with some cans of food

TwistNhisminions? That made me laugh.

"When Bellotti attempted to shake the hand of Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson after the game, Robinson offered his left hand. His right was swollen and battered from the Ducks' defense."

Isn't Leon having academic problems?

Just a shot in the dark. But if you cant get into Oregon i feel its a safe bet you can’t get into Cal.

Ducks Go!

I’m actually getting a little worried about this very issue. We’ve had a lot of JC transfers this year and most go to JC because of academics. I’m wondering if this is just the tip of the iceberg

I don't think so...

I think most JC players qualify. I also think that coming across two very talented, but not academically focused enough, players is a reality of recruiting Jucos. LeGarrette Blount so happens to have evidently struck the right balance with academics, good conduct, and the delivery of massive Blount Force Trauma.

Not every JC player will be a Justin Thompson (knock on wood), but also not every guy will be a LeGarrette Blount. The long and short of it is, you often times can come up with an Onterrio Smith. And then is it all worth it?

Is a mancrush on LeGarrette Blount considered beastiality?

Onterrio Smith was dismissed from Tennessee, I don’t think he was a JC.
