PrintGrab your quack pipes, Ducks fans, 'cuz it's that time again:
- Running back LeGarrette Blount and linebacker Terrance Pritchett have been suspended indefinitely from Oregon's football program, head coach Mike Bellotti announced yesterday, stating the players failed "to fulfill team obligations." We'll keep a close eye on this developing story as more information becomes available, but this certainly doesn't put Oregon fans at ease.
- On a positive note, The Oregonian's John Hunt has a nice piece on the re-emergence of Tajuan Porter, without a doubt one of the few bright spots of the men's basketball team in the past month. It seems like only yesterday Ernie was benching Tajuan in Tempe.
- And since we're trying to stay positive today, check out Register-Guard columnist George Schroeder's defense of keeping Ernie for another year, regardless of how this season turns out. I highly recommend all you Ernie-haters read it. (PS: I'm not one of you.)
- And how about we finish off with a recruiting update that doesn't include the words "Bryce," "Brown," "Brian," or "Butler?" Prep standout Jamil Wilson from Racine, Wisc., is strongly considering Oregon. Wilson, a 6'7" small forward who has drawn comparisons to former North Carolina freshman phenom Marvin Williams, will announce his choice on March 8. He apparently grew up watching former Oregon star Alex Scales (also a Racine native) and has narrowed his list down to Oregon, Michigan State, and Texas.
There's a lot to discuss in regards to the Blount Blunder, so post those comments and help get us through over the week's halfway point.
GO DUCKS!

Rumor around the Athletic Department is that Blount and Pritchett had pot and were over the legal limit.
Don’t hold me to it though.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; "In other news, Ropert was mauled by a velociraptor yesterday and sustained a life-threatening ACL injury and a pulled hamstring."
*Legal limit of blood alcohol.
Sorry, just got up.

As a life long stoner and a 4 year Eugene resident...
If you get pulled over while high you don’t get a drug test. They cite you for a DUI (driving under the influence) and you are booked. Never have I heard of someone giving blood for a drug test. That would be the only way to check whether you were high at that point or if the officer smelt it in the car. Also, if you’re not driving a car its NOT illegal to be high. Its just illegal to have drugs in your possession.

haha legal limit. We are so loose its basically legal. Ahh Eugene. Sucks when guys get caught with pot. But how many recruits have been swayed by the pot culture in Eugene? Well maybe not swayed, but influenced. It something that never gets mentioned but I’m sure plays its part.
Ducks Go!
694, bam!

You get the jshufelt review via box quotes:
“Good post! I would read it again, and again!”
“ArbyOSU made a compelling argument, short, but complex. I was truly moved!”
“Not your average ‘Run-of-the-mill’ post!”
“Sparta? I don’t think so! This is GREAT!”
“I haven’t read such motivating text since the novelization of ‘The Fast and the Furious!’”
“Could this be the first post to win an Oscar? I hope so!”
“Bruins Nation is better, but still a good post for the whole family. 3.5 stars.”
It's spelled "S-H-U-G-S-A-R-E-F-O-R-T-H-U-G-S""
I would have elaborated but it can be summed up in three words… maybe less. Does “Rumors. Lame.” read aloud in some kind of caveman voice work for anyone?
I’m curious to know what’s going on with these two kids but when it comes down to it, we’re talking about two COLLEGE KIDS. Speculating and spreading rumors is, well, for lack of a better term, lame. Especially when no source is named and that this one in particular seems to have originated in a Eugene area high school. Anyone else remember any cases of unsubstantiated rumors floating around their HS? I do…
I dunno, just not a fan of, “You didn’t hear it from me, but I heard they were caught trading orphans into slavery for some weed, then went over to the humane society and adopted fifty cats, just so they could stab them all in the face! But yeah, I think it’s a rumor… so you didn’t hear it from me.”
Okay dude...
I was just throwing that in this morning, I thought it would spur conversation, and maybe help a little to those in the dark. Obviously, it’s a big deal, and I could think of nothing more likely than Blount getting caught with a baggy of weed or something.
And, because I’m too lazy to scroll up and reply, Jared, I didn’t hear anything about driving. I don’t think it was while driving either.

Oh, and “The Fast and the Furious” was a book BEFORE it was a movie, just like it’s sequel “2 Fast 2 Furious”… and don’t knock ‘em until you’ve read ‘em—they’re AMAZING. I think there’s a 300 level course at Boise State where they take an in-depth look at both books.
I was talking about the movie novelization. I didn’t read the books, but now that I know they exist, and having watch one the movies, I am upset on how they completely brutalized the books.
The fast and the furious is like a porn flick without the sex.
It's spelled "S-H-U-G-S-A-R-E-F-O-R-T-H-U-G-S""
It's more like Maxim: The Movie.
I was being sarcastic. Any book about douche bags racing cars is not one I would read. If I did, I wouldn’t call it amazing. At least I don’t think I would.
And the second part was a dig at the mighty Broncos…
I think I failed at posting miserably today… sigh…
BSU’s Dean of Academic Standards and Practices is Jeff Foxworthy. Pow.
You crush your wife during sex and your heart sucks
BOOM. Roasted

I wasn’t really being sarcastic.
“Rumors are lame.” is perfect. I even’ rec’d you!

Thanks for the rec by the way. It really boosts my posting confidence to dangerously cocky heights. If it turns green it’ll prove I’m smart enough to make regular posts at Cal Golden Blogs, outlining my plans for a massive reorganization plan for every conference in the nation! Moo-hoo-ha-haaaa!
I dare you
I turned it green. What you gonna do about it?
"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."

Goe has a little analysis...
The Oregonian’s Ken Goe posted a piece this morning about the Ducks’ rather tumultuous offseason. He’s right: It’s been an unsettling few months with Bellotti’s future in question, and now the Blount Blunder.
Hi, I'm Paul Thompson, and I'm a quack-aholic.
Am I the only one who doesn’t care about the Bellotti thing? Besides the Markus Wheaton thing….has this made any significant impact. They seem to be handling it well inside the program.

Dammit Blount
I’ve heard from good sources that he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box coming out of high school; I was hoping something like this wouldn’t happen at his time in Oregon, but there you go. God I hope this gets worked out, I hate to imagine our running game next year without him.
Also, with Brett Favre retiring, is this now Kellen’s time to shine as a Jet?
I would be surprised if they took Sanchez. It sounds like the Jets don’t think Kellen is their QB of the future.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Are you saying the Jets are declaring Kellen… Sanchez?
It's spelled "S-H-U-G-S-A-R-E-F-O-R-T-H-U-G-S""
Maybe...
McShay doesn’t think so. Either way, it doesn’t sound good for the cowboy.

Your honor, I submit Maurice Clarett as evidence D, Ontario Smith as evidence E, and OJ Simpson as evidence F.

I can't believe you'd put Onterrio
with OJ and Clarrett. All Onterrio did was love him some pot…

And gain like 45 lbs. and subsequently get cut by a CFL team...

No mention of Kamyron Brown puking on Mac Court...
…while rolling in order to serve his punishment for cutting class? How disappointing.
I was there watching it, standing right next to Mike Dunigan. Dunigan was freaking out a little bit. “I’ll never cut class! I’ll never cut class!” he kept saying. It was pretty hilarious, except for the whole puking thing.
