Morning Quack Fix: 4.15.09

by PaulSF on Apr 15, 2009 7:00 AM PDT in Morning Quack Fix

Do you think the sound of that annoying, giggling dog from Duck Hunt will be ringing in the ears of Crittle, Dunigan and Williams while they're fulfilling their community service obligation? Man, I really hated that dog. I don't think I'd wish that on anyone, even an animal-killing sadist. Okay, maybe Ron Mexico. But that's it. Anyway, here's your fix:

In case you haven't heard, the athletic department announced yesterday that head coach Ernie Kent has assigned community service to Josh Crittle, Michael Dunigan and Teondre Williams as part of their punishment for the Duck Hunt incident on March 30. The three freshman have already started working at Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene. They'll also be required to attend a Humane Education class. What do you think about the punishment?
Despite racking up a season-high 14 hits, the Oregon baseball squad dropped their sixth straight in an 8-7 loss to Portland yesterday at PK Park. The Ducks will try to regroup on the road this weekend when they take on Cal in a three-game series in Berkeley starting Friday.
Finally, the Daily Emerald's Andrew Greif talks about Oregon's impressive depth at tight end. With Dion Jordan, David Paulson, Malachi Lewis and Mychal Rivera all turning heads in spring practice, not to mention returning starter Ed Dickson, who's currently sitting out of contact drills with a strained hamstring, this unit could end up being the Ducks' strongest with the exception of quarterback.

If you find anything else newsworthy, post it in the comments.

GO DUCKS!

That takes me back to old school Nintendo. I did hate that dog’s laugh. Hilarious.

I HATED that dog. It almost makes me want to punch someone in the face just thinking about it.

Oregon ticket question

How would tickets to the Purdue game be? Purdue wants $45/eat through the John Purdue Club.

Hey Boiler. Going through the UO ticket office, tickets are going for $55 each for reserved seating. Sounds like the John Purdue Club is the way to go. Here’s a link to the info

Thanks

I just did some checking on ebay and Stubhub. That’s still a deal.

Those aren’t reliable in any way yet, as no tickets have gone on sale or been sent to season ticket holders.

I've had good luck with them

I get Colts tickets every year and sell the games I don’t want to go to. I know that is really going to finance this trip to Oregon if we can go. The Mrs. grew up as a bit of an Oregon fan and I want to go because it is the chance to see Purdue in a unique venue. I figure, we went to see them in Hawaii three years ago, why not Eugene.

When do you need to get tickets through Purdue?

Single game tickets go on sale to the general public for that game on July 17th through the Oregon athletic office….I would recommend doing that. You’re pretty much guaranteed better seats than the visitors section, and save some money. Plus, I always find it fun sitting amount opposing fans. Though that may just be me.

Pretty much any time

I can order them with my season ticket renewal and that is due May 1. I’ve never had trouble sitting among the opposing fans. Even when I have gotten tickets through Purdue (for Ohio State and Michigan) we’ve been in the middle of opposing fans. The friendliest i have been to is Minnesota. At Illinois, Indiana, and Northwestern there are usually so few people there it doesn’t matter. The worst, by far, was Louisville when we went to see them play Miami a few years ago. My wife is a Hurricane alum and we were treated awful the entire time.

Don't let jtlight fool you

Duck fans are the WORST. Sit amongst your own, or prepare to have beer thrown on you :)

I’ve only seen it happen as an accident – usually due to Duck fans jumping up and down with their beers when our defense picks off a QB and runs it back for a touchdown.

…or when a Duck running back is going 83 yards for a score. We get a little careless when that happens.

Wow. If they held a Baddest Man in High School contest I think it would begin and end with this guy. It wouldn’t break my heart if USC were hit with “lack of institutional control” (Bush, Mayo) and this kid were to end up going elsewhere.
