Morning Quack Fix: 3.5.09

by JConant on Mar 5, 2009 8:17 AM PST in Morning Quack Fix

Quack! It's Cinco De Marzo - seems like that should count for something. Here's what people are saying about our Ducks:

Looking back in time, George Schroeder did an interview with Kenny Wheaton, who reflected on what's transpired for him in the nearly 15 years since "The Pick".
Of course, this is the final regular season weekend for Pac-10 hoops. Many questions still remain: Will the Huskies wrap up a conference title? Can a fifth team solidify an NCAA bid? Will the Ducks do the unthinkable and win a third straight game? Ron Bellamy of the R-G says the heat is on the Trojans, who have lost 6 of 7.
John Hunt has the Oregon v. USC hoops preview for the Oregonian.
Can Kamyron Brown be the next great Oregon point guard? It's all up to him, say Oregon coaches. Read more about Brown's roller coaster career thus far at Oregon in this Ron Bellamy feature from the R-G.
More basketball as the Portland Tribune's Jason Vondersmith takes a look at Tajuan Porter's recent point guard play and asks whether or not he might have to continue playing the point at Oregon.
Washington completed a two-game non-conference sweep of the Ducks in baseball with a 10-2 win in Seattle Wednesday. Here are some game notes from the Oregonian.
This weeks GoDucks.com Student-Athlete of the Week is freshman Matt Humphrey. In Corvallis this week, Humphrey was named Least Likely To Get A Hug From A Beaver Fan...okay, I made that part up.
Need a little football fix? The folks at Bleacher Report recently posted their take on which Oregon football players might have breakout seasons in 2009-10.
And in women's basketball... There's a good chance the Ducks will see a drop in average attenance for the ninth straight year. Will Ducks fans show up to support the women against UCLA and USC this weekend? Yet to be seen.

Rec’d.

It's spelled "S-H-U-G-A-R-S-U-B-S-T-I-T-U-T-E"

Agreed

As we discussed yesterday, that article is a joke.

Sorry… Clearly I missed that discussion. I get it now.

You cannot hide from our weapons of Masoli destruction.

Not your fault. Football news is dry. It gives us SOMETHING.

No worries. Jared and I discussed it outside the blog.

1. Bleacher Report: Why do some people see this as a credible source of information? Isn’t it just a glorified blog that doesn’t even conduct interviews or research? Isn’t it just a place for arbitrary lists and rankings? I hate Bleacher Report.

2. What does declaring something “Sanchez” entail? I don’t read CBG enough. I know it’s gotta be a bad thing since it’s most likely linked to Mark “I throw paper cups after I lose games in Corvallis” Sanchez… right?
I want to declare stuff Sanchez. Believe me, I do. I was behind this horrible driver today on my morning commute and I yelled out loud, “I declare you Sssss—” but I locked up because I didn’t know the ramifications or details of declaring Sanchez. I feel so lost. Help.

PS—By asking what being declared Sanchez officially means have I just declared myself Sanchez? I think my head’s going to explode.

1. Most people agree. If it had any sort of editorial, it could improve.

2. First. When wondering about “declaring something ‘Sanchez’” Please reference this.
Second, feel free to use any of these in association of declaring something Sanchez: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Re: PS – Probably.

If you want any more information about Declaring Sanchez, please ask. It’s a very serious thing, and it may affect the children.

Many thanks. I had figured as much. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something, you know, while I was working or fraternizing with people in this “real” world I hear so much about.

And I agree, I probably declared myself Sanchez several times over in the first post. It stings, but oddly enough I feel more Sanchez after getting through this ordeal. Hurts so good.

Now I’m going to take a stroll on my lunch hour and loudly declare everyone who dares cross me f’ing Sanchez. Especially children.

Now that you've been entrusted with a secret of the code

Use it sparingly. Lobbing excessive Sanchez is totally turtle.

Yes your ass looks big, you need to lose weight. Sorry, had to vent.

That was actually the first time I’ve ever typed it. I’m not a huge fan of it (Don’t understand it completely right off the bat? Hate/fear it.) so don’t worry. I’ll get it out of my system this afternoon as I yell at unsuspecting kids and old people “I declare you Sanchez!”

I’m sure HIS dad threw paper cups at him as a kid. Sanchez needs to learn to break the cycle of violence.

It's spelled S-H-U-damn it I can't think of one!

Do you think Mark Sanchez's uncle threw paper cups at him too hard when he was little?
