Good, loyal, hard-working people get hurt every day in the wake of tough business decisions. That’s all this was.

I believe that Kilkenny and Kent – especially Kent – probably lost a lot of sleep over this decision. I’m not buying Mr. Walker’s assertion that they were insensitive or unappreciative of Hudson’s time on Oregon’s staff. You keep firings short (in this case 15 minutes by Mr. Walker’s account) because they’re damn hard on everyone involved and no one’s interested in debating the decision or engaging in idle chit-chat. I am curious about Mr. Walker’s comment: “…do not feel a sense of responsibility or hold themselves accountable to the Hudson family since dismissing Mark.” If there’s something more to the story, some kind of post-firing drama, then he needed to come right out and say it.

It sucks when people lose jobs. Kudos to Mr. Walker for articulating his feelings in an appropriate forum and for taking action with his wallet. Those are his rights. Beyond that, it’s time for the Walker family to start moving forward and stop looking back.

I saw the letter mostly as just a way to get his frustrations out. As a college student who doesn’t have a job and hasn’t been affected much by the economic crisis, it’s tough for me to gauge how exactly the country is doing except for hearing from people like Mr. Walker, who is clearly just aggravated that his family got the short end of the stick. And maybe there’s facets to this story that we don’t know. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “sour grapes” but rather just speaking his mind for his own personal well-being. Now all parties involved can move on.

It's spelled "T-A-K-I-M-O-T-S-C-H-M-O-E."

I gotta admit… while whining and complaining annoy the f*ck out of me and even make me a little queasy while coming out of the mouths of grown ass people, this kind of behavior only really has a few places in society and the letters to the editor section happens to be one of them.

If it’s slander or libel it’s the duty of a copy aide and then an editor to knock it down… ultimately, it’s up to the paper to print.

That being said, I’m really glad this guy isn’t my father in-law. I’d have a hard time getting along with a whiner who spends 60 grand on tickets to anything.

Few other UO sports tidbits

Oregon LaCrosse wrapped up their regular season by beating St. Mary’s 17-10 and finished second in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. The #2-seeded Ducks will now face #7 Fresno State (winless this season) in the quarterfinals of the MPSF tournament. http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=3723905&DB_OEM_ID=500 story.

Ducks women’s tennis finished their season at Washington. Softball got smoked by #3 UCLA. Men’s golf finished 10th at the U.S. Intercollegiate.

In yet another blow to RB depth...

Alston will be out the rest of spring with a foot injury. Also, TE Mychal Rivera will seek to transfer. Chances are the Rivera would never see the field. Good luck to him and catching on somewhere else.

Bummer for Alston. Durability continues to be an issue. Any idea if he re-injured the same foot?

I was unimpressed with Chris Harper’s route running during the scrimmage. Though he must be impressing someone as he lined up with the first team at slot. I don’t remember him making any catches, though he was thrown to several times. Harper at RB may become a necessity given the lack of depth and continued health issues at that position…probably not a terrible thing if that happens.

According to Moseley...

Harper was getting snaps at RB today. Malachi Lewis might also, so at least we have talent that can play there.

With Harper making a tentative move to RB

do we have a LaGarrette senior(6-2/240) and LaGarrette junior(6-3/230)?

well his running ability is not what lost him the QB job

A few recruiting cites had him as a RB out of high school, so this cant be the worst move.

Ducks Go!
