Rest of the Flock: TSNG Debut, XC 'Ships Watch Party

by Takimoto on Nov 20, 2009 1:14 PM PST

It's a slow week for live sports in Eugene, but there are things to do if you're itchin' for some Duck sports, starting with the volleyball team trying to avenge their losses to the SoCal teams.

Friday, 11/20: VBall vs. USC @ Mac Court 7:00 PM

Saturday 11/21: Team Sports & Gymnastics DEBUT! @ Springfield High School 12:30 PM
VBall vs. UCLA @ Mac Court 8:00 PM

Monday 11/23: Men's BBall vs. Montana @ Mac Court 7:00 PM

For those you interested in Cross-Country, fans are invited to watch the Cross Country National Championships with athletics staff and the Track & Field teams in the Pittman Room of the Casanova Center. The room, located at the rear of the second floor, will open at 8:30 a.m., with the national championships beginning at 9 a.m. The men’s race opens the show, followed by the women at approximately 9:45 a.m. Fans are asked to park in the Moshofsky Center lot. The race will be televised on Versus, if you don't want to drive out to Autzen or just fear social interaction other than this blog.

Tuesday 11/24: Women's BBall vs. Santa Clara @ Mac Court 7:00 PM

News, blurbs, links, and butts after the jump

Maybe the most exciting thing about this weekend (apart from football) is the debut exhibition of the Team Sports & Gymnastics team...squad...group...force...FORCE! Yes! The TSNG Force! Brilliant!

Anyway, the TSNG Force will be debuting their skills at the Oregon All-State HS Gymnastics Competition on Saturday. I'd think the toughest part about a fledgling sport like this is finding venues to perform and compete. So until TSNG catches on nationally (which it looks like it might), these exhibitions are the best we're gonna get. You can also check out the Force on Sunday, November 29th, at halftime of the Oregon-Portland State women's hoops game.

Do you like this story?

I know we have a big football game that night

but how could you forget the big men’s hoops matchup on Saturday night at Portland. Its a very good and deep Portland team picked to finish second in the WCC. That game will tell us more about this team than any other preseason game save the Missouri tilt. Its huge.

I feel sorry for UP

I don’t know why they scheduled it this early. They would normally get a sellout, which is why they schedule it during winter break. Were it not for the game tomorrow (and the Blazer game I have tickets to), I would go. I’ve gone the last three times they’ve been to UP.

Which they probably could do

If they were smart since the TV time is already blocked at 7 PM for the Blazers anyways.

The schedule really kinda stinks for Volleyball. Even pushing the start back an hour, Mac Court is gonna be fairly close to empty for the pregame stuff at Senior ‘Day.’
