PrintHappy Friday. There isn't a ton out there today, but that shouldn't stop you from commenting. Treat this post as your Friday Open Thread. Lord knows we'd rather be commenting on the Ducks than online Christmas shopping. Right? Here's your Morning Quack Fix:
- The Oregonian's John Hunt has a feature on senior defensive back T.J. Ward, who's preparing for his final game in an Oregon uniform. Ward is a well-spoken guy, and reading his quotes made it hard for me to imagine he's the same guy laying wood on Oklahoma State's Zac Robinson in last year's Holiday Bowl.
- The Oregon men's basketball team picked up a much-needed win over Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday night at Mac Court, and they did it with two starters benched. Junior LeKendric Longmire and sophomore Teondre Williams, who are third and first in scoring for the Ducks, respectively, were benched to start the game due to academic reasons. Neither played more than 10 minutes. With Pac-10 play a mere two weeks away, the Ducks hope to continue building momentum when they host Oakland on Saturday. Oregon has lost two in a row to the Golden Grizzlies, including an overtime loss in Eugene last year.
- ESPN.com's Ted Miller posted the Sporting News All-Pac-10 team yesterday, and Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli finally gets his due after losing out to Oregon State's Sean Canfield on both the Pac-10's first team and ESPN.com's All-Pac-10 team. Ed Dickson was also named, as well as another Pac-10 Coach of the Year nod for Chip Kelly.
- After the extraordinarily unfunny Saturday Night Live skit that featured Oregon last Saturday (watch it after the jump if you haven't seen it...or don't), Duck Sports News is reporting tthere's another on the way. Let's just hope it's actually funny this time, and doesn't feature that douche from Twilight in a throwback Oregon jersey.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.
GO DUCKS!

The SNL skit was horrilbe
Its like that joke where you just keep waiting for the punchline, and it just never comes.

I saw another skit from the same episode that was pretty funny.
So, while I don’t have much hope for SNL, it is good to know they aren’t completely humorless…
But my god, that skit was so awful.
its spelled "S-h-u-t-t-h-e H e-l-l-U-p-F-E-L-T"
It felt like something 6th graders would put together for a talent show. I haven’t watched SNL for 5 years, but I had no idea it was THIS bad.

I find it to be hit-and-miss, but not in an episodic sense — more like in a seasonal sense. The stuff they did leading up to the 2008 election was genius. Since then, it’s been… lackluster, to put it kindly.

Bill Hader going "Weird" is the only part that almost made me laugh.

Now with even more vitriol.
I'm not really comfortable with your use of the word 'douche' there...
Strike that…that was the PERFECT use of the word douche there. Carry on.

For a moment...
…I thought, “Are we really going down this path again? It’s not like I called him a bitch-slapping douche!”
Touche, Gorbachav5. Well played.

Fiesta Bowl Scandal
Even worse than the BSU/TCU matchup. Apparently there are allegations that Fiesta Bowl employees gave political donations to certain candidates that were then reimbursed by the Bowl.

I blame Byron Hout.

doesn't the spread offense have to take some of the blame here?

Hmmmm,
I’m going to have to blame Andrew Luck’s insane downfield passing.
Juju, you have already blessed the Duck masses by diverting Terrelle Pryor to Columbus Ohio; and in the process granted us one magical Masoli who happens to be "sicker than E-Coli (I know from experience with E-Coli, Masoli must be pretty damn sick)". We are all mutually gracious for this blessing. However, in our time of dearest need, we request that one Terrelle Pryor succumb to your overwhelming collegiate football dictation skillz.

I can’t believe it’s still 14 days away. We’re only 4 days from the Las Vegas Bowl. I’ll be watching for sure, and cheering for the Beavers.
He can run, he can pass, he is sicker than e-coli. Jeremiah always keeps things rolling.

Chris Johnson (NFL leading rusher) on Ted Ginn (former Ohio State Buckeye)
“He’s pretty fast, but a lot of people get it mistaken at the conference he played at. Was it the Big Ten? They’re a slow conference. They don’t have fast guys in that conference. It automatically makes him look like he’s a real fast guy.”
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
Story about the 1917 Rose Bowl victory over Penn. An interesting read. I loved reading about the Duck’s getting the invite because UW couldn’t afford the train tickets. So UO sold the book store to pay for the trip. Good stuff.

Should we even be surprised anymore?

I'm surprised!
Oh wait, no I’m not.
