Quack Fix: Ducks lose to Montana and more from Saturday's big win

Ugh. What a deflating loss last night in basketball. Thankfully, we have nine more days of Civil War hysteria. Here's your morning quack.
- The men's basketball team suffered an embarrassing 68-55 loss to the Montana Grizzlies at home last night. A poor first half did the Ducks in, as they managed only 20 first half points -- despite an early 12-2 lead. As some of you noted elsewhere, this result is quite a buzzkill. The Ducks are off until Sunday night when they host Montana State.
- John Hunt has a blog entry with some quotes from Scott Frost talking about the impact of Saturday's dramatic win and reflecting on one of his own. Frost also notes that Jeff Maehl was the only receiver not rotated out late in the game on Saturday: "Jeff's earned the right to be in there when the chips are down because he's the kind of kid who makes big plays in big situations.'' Looks like that was the right call.
- Rob Moseley's feature piece today takes us through the final drive against Arizona. That 18-yard run by LaMichael James on 3rd-and-11 is probably my favorite play of the drive, save for the touchdown catch by Ed Dickson.
- George Schroeder also has a piece up that talks about Pat Kilkenny's decision to move the Civil War game to a Thursday night. While the move may be inconvenient for some of you attending, it's hard to argue that the date change and the fact that the game will decide the Pac-10 championship means that the nation's undivided attention will be focused on Autzen stadium next Thursday night.
- Finally, the prolific Moseley also has a notebook entry up about Nate Costa earning conference player of the week honors for special teams after his game-saving hold on an errant extra point snap. Apparently the Sporting News named it the national "play of the week."
- KEZI has a report up of a group of Oregon fans in yellow, including one dressed as the grim reaper, made their way through the OSU campus. I gotta say, I don't think a yellow grim reaper is all that effective.<sarcasm> Besides, isn't black one of our colors now too? </sarcasm>
- Civil War baseball tickets for the May 26th game at PGE Park go on sale today. The game is officially a non-conference game, but will serve as the fifth game between the Ducks and Beavers in 2010.
After the jump are is a video of Steven Jackson talking Civil War, so check it out.
Here's Steven Jackson with some of his own thoughts on the rivalry between the Ducks and Beavers:

Ducks get a commitment from Drew Howell, the country’s fifth-rated long snapper prospect.

From the paradise land of Tehachapi, California!

Tehachapi? WTF?
Lived in CA my whole life…Never heard of it!
It sounds to me like some random town off the 395 somewhere…
Juju, you complete me...And now as your humble-as-ever servant, I kindly request the following:
So, how is it that one brother is named "James", and the next one "Jacquizz"?
Anyways, based on the picture; they look as if they have a relationship thats a little too comfortable.

Tehachapi was an early railroad town. Hasn’t done anything since.
Tehachapi loop is fairly famous for the railroad enthusiasts.
I only know if it because of work. It’s a city in nowhere California.

It’s off the 14 near Palmdale. I’ve driven through there once, I think, trying to get from the 395 over to the 5.

Wow, it is near the old 395 then...
That whole area is awful, From Lancaster, to Palmdale, Barstow, Adelanto…Ugh
Only reason to go through there is to get to Mammoth

Yeah, and be careful if you’re going up there this year. Chippies are all over the place. You used to be able to go 85 all the way up the 395 to Mammoth (other than the speed traps – I’m looking at you, Big Pine). I got a ticket in September for going 75 on a pretty empty highway in the middle of nowhere.

Bummer...
Yeah, the whole stretch from Lone Pine, Independence, Big Pine, to Bishop (I am sure I mixed the order of those up, oh well) is a total speed trap! I’ve been pulled over there before :(
Thanks for the warning about the increase in cops out there…I have to drive up the 395 tomorrow to get to Reno (And i’m not looking forward to that drive!)

I believe the article about the Thursday civial war is by Schroeder, at least in the real paper it is.
Can I get a Gooo Ducks?!

Undivided attention?
Unless you consider the game starts at 9pm on about half the TV sets in the country, I’d say much of our nation’s attention will be “divided” by sleep on a work night.

I know this shouldn't make me laugh
But it does.
Source: Clausen punched by irate fan
Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was punched in the face by an irate fan outside a South Bend restaurant early Sunday morning and has a swollen eye, a person briefed on the incident said on Monday.
That person said Clausen was “sucker-punched” by a fan as he left an establishment after having dinner with his parents.
The fan allegedly said something to Clausen and/or a female acquaintance.
A South Bend police spokesman said that no police reports were filed over the weekend involving Clausen, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The newspaper also reported that the name of the bar was CJ’s and that a bartender at the establishment said that Clausen had been there with family members and other Irish upperclassmen after Notre Dame’s loss to Connecticut on Senior Day.
The source told ESPN.com that the injury is not expected to keep Clausen from playing this weekend against Stanford.

i’m pretty sure the kid from Tennessee was sent to South Bend. If you take out Clausen, for the good of America, we will reinstate you.

my favorite take on this
courtesy of deadspin:
Clausen is so embarassed by the event that he “never wants to be seen again,” announcing his immediate transfer to Charlie Weis’ penis.

I think Charlie Weis did it after he heard that Clasuen had eaten the last of the Triple Chocolate Tortes

They offended Juju
Charging the field early was a slap in Juju’s face. He made sure Masoli won the game after that.

Not to mention thier scoreboard was really annoying!
After we scored point 14, they just put “4” points for us. Once AZ acquired the lead, then it was 14 points for us

Yeah, Jerry Allen talked about that on the radio
He was banging on the poor quality of the Arizona stadium by saying the scoreboard and stat boards weren’t working right.
