Morning Quack Fix: 2.19.09

Welcome to another quacktastic Pac-10 Thursday. Hopefully I won't get caught peddling Quack within 1,000 yards of any public school.

  • Over at Oregon Live, John Hunt has an Oregon v. Cal gameday preview. Cal leads the nation in 3-point accuracy. Isn't that something Oregon is supposed to be good at? I guess at this point the Oregon team can take that now cliche "let's shock the world" approach to every game.
  • Hunt also writes about Ernie's insistence that this Oregon team is "marching forward". Hunt asks: Marching forward to what?
  • The R-G's Ron Bellamy also posted his preview of tonight's game against Cal. Three guys with concussions - maybe the Huskies should have fielded their basketball team during football season. Evidently the hoops guys at UW hit harder.
  • Jeff Smith of The Oregonian writes that the starting lineup for the baseball team's first game is starting to take shape.
  • Was landing George Horton as baseball coach huge or what? Consider that yesterday Adam Jude of the R-G reminded us that the Ducks have landed a verbal commitment from THE top-rated recruit, a 6-3 lefty pitcher named Tyler Matzek.
  • No, that's not Terrance Scott you see lining up at Quarterback this spring. Jeremiah Masoli has changed from #2 to #8 for the upcoming football season.
  • Rob Moseley's blog includes the obligatory Bryce Brown update. Bryce's advisor has told CBSsports.com that Miami is not out as a possible choice for his prize running back. Did anyone really believe Miami wasn't willing to reissue a new letter of intent if Brown decides in March that Miami is his school?
  • ESPN's Ted Miller today breaks down where Pac-10 teams stand at the kicker position. His take on Oregon: "We'll see: The Ducks signed one of the nation's best prep kickers, Mike Bowlin." Question - isn't it still Morgan Flint's job until Bowlin takes it away from him? 
  • Uncertainty surrounds former Oregon women's golf coach Shannon Rouillard, writes The Oregonian's Jeff Smith. Rouillard is still working in the Oregon athletic department, but so far doesn't have a new title and her frustration is mounting.

Bryce Brown

I don’t want to sound like an a-hole but wherever Bryce Brown goes he better be the next coming of Jesus. This kid is getting more attention then the Pope. I wonder how he will react the first time a senior LB cleans his clock or if he gets hurt and is sidelined for a few games. I hate to be a pessimist but with all the hype surrounding him he is going to have alot to live up to.

With all that being said I would like to see all these possibilites happen in a Duck uniform.

To go out and ruin somebody's dreams like that, it feels real good," Oregon receiver Jaison Williams.

Miller on Brown

Here’s Ted Miller’s latest take on the Brown-Butler connection. I totally agree with his overall question: what benefit has Butler provided to Brown that Brown would not have received without his aid?

A discouraging trend

Pryor last year and Brown this, way to much attention. As soon as rivals and scouts tags a kid and the man for 2010 he is going to get on a horse so high nobody but some sketch mentor will be able to reach him.

Ducks Go!
yep, lots and lots of blow.

Agreed.

The media is a cruel, cruel thing.

Well, you hear more about it because it is part of the nature of the blogosphere. If Oregon wasn’t a possibility, you wouldn’t hear much about it from here. Of course, him being the highest (unsigned) rated recruit will carry more weight and noise with it too. And, in terms of CFB, it’s the only story out there.

Terrell Pryor had the same thing.

The hype isn’t so much Brown’s fault. Though if he signed a few weeks ago, there wouldn’t be as much talk. It’s the media outlets and “opinionators” taking the torch of the only story available.

It's spelled "S-H-U-G-S-A-R-E-F-O-R-T-H-U-G-S""

ESPN has Skip to my Lou going to the magic

That means that AB is the number one PG for the Houston Rockets. Hell yeah. Gotta step up as the starter! This is awesome.
