Morning Quack Fix: 4.24.09

by jtlight on Apr 24, 2009 7:43 AM PDT in Morning Quack Fix

Good morning addicts! Here's your fix:

The obvious top story today is the felony arrest of Oregon recruit Cliff Harris. The Fresno Bee seems to have updated their story from yesterday, with a quote from the police chief. The altercation seems to have started between the on campus officer and Harris' brother over the wearing of a baseball cap, which was against school policy.
While I don't want to jump to any conclusions, it seems like both Harris' brother and the officer did not handle the situation well, and at this point I'm gonna be incredibly distrustful of the police. In my opinion, this whole thing screams abuse of power, and the Fresno police department has a solid history of that. This also seems like a great time to remind everyone, never talk to the police under any circumstances.
In less serious news, Chip Kelly is getting some media attention. He was on College Football Live yesterday, as well as on a South Florida radio station, where he discussed the Pac-10 strength, Autzen, and his offensive prowess.
Tom Osborne is the latest coach to blog. He talks about the depth at TE and on special teams (mainly due to the strong LB play). Competition is strong, and it will be exciting to see these young guys grow over the next year.
The ODE blog has a little feature on Max Unger, and his preparations for the the draft, and how he'll celebrate. Good luck to Max at the next level.
In statewide sports news, economic troubles are hitting the Oregon State athletic department, but Oregon's will be just fine (thanks Uncle Phil!).

We'll be keeping up on any news throughout the day, so make sure to check the comments, and leave any links you find. GO DUCKS!

Brilliant. Let’s keep working the talent pool of the deep south. Land one or two and more will follow.

How could you not know that?(40 Year Old Virgin Reference)

With respect to Kelly smart move talking in Florida. On stats alone the state of Florida prodces the most D1 prosects on a consistent basis. Alot of talent in that state. Who knows if they can get 1 or 2 kids every few years not a bad experiment.

I hope you're kidding.

Saw 40YOV one time…wasn’t that good. Not terrible, but hardly worthy of putting lines from the movie to memory.

Not kidding, I am sure...

There are DOZENS of one-liners from that movie. If you didn’t like it, I can understand the lack of memorizing lines, though.

it's not my favorite movie either

I just happen to like that line and it seemed appropriate.

Great Scrimmage Notes from Moseley

Pay particular attention to Ropert and all of the Defensive newcomers (Clark, Littlejohn, Montgomery). The stats are only from the leaders in output. Most everyone played, except where noted at the end of the blog.

I am looking forward to attending the Spring Game, that is for sure!

I’m not sure what to glean from Roper’s stats other than he had a bad day combined with the fact that the 2nd team D-line is better than the second team O-line

Don't talk to cops

Professor Duane’s video is EXCELLENT; I watched it several months ago…

Sounds like Harris is only charged with a misdemeanor...

As this is still very early in the process, this is good news.

167?!?

Yikes.

Yikes is right!

He seems to have a pretty good arm to go with that speed. If he can put on 20 lbs before he hits school I won’t worry that much. I mean, right now he is only 17, so it is feasible. I’m sure he knows that he will need some bulk to compete at the next level.
