PrintGood morning Duck fans. Here's your daily fix.
- Yesterday was the final competition day of the spring and the Oregon defense won again thanks to what sounds like a terrific day by WTIII -- Kelly estimated that Thurmond had six or seven picks throughout the drills. And, keeping with another trend of the spring, the punting was less than impressive. eDuck also has their practice report up -- with more praise for Thurmond. They credit the senior CB with *only* five picks, though four were thrown by Masoli.
- Moseley has a feature piece up today on Casey Mathews and his emergence as a force at middle linebacker as well as a leader. As others have noted throughout the spring, the talent Oregon currently has at linebacker is such that we have not seen for awhile. The development and play of this unit is something I am very interested in watching this fall. John Hunt also posts his thoughs on the linebackers, noting that group is relatively young and confident.
- In Duck draft news, Andy McNamara has some notes up about the draft -- including a few firsts. The BleacherReport runs down the rosters of the Texans and Redskins in order to estimate the chances of Jeremiah Johnson and Jaison WIlliams sticking, respectively.
- The Ducks also play a single baseball game against the Beavers today at Goss Stadium. Jeff Smith notes that the propsect of playing OSU has helped pick up the spirits of the team after a sweep by the Huskies.
As always, feel free to post your comments and any other links of interest below.
Go Ducks!

The UO Ultimate Frisbee Club’s season has been canceled by the Club Sports Executive Committee because of bad conduct violations. They were set to compete for a national championship.

My favorite quote from Dusty Becker, co-captain of the Frisbee Team…
Speeding, drinking, nudity — they’re not bad things. They’re things a big portion of the community doesn’t think are wrong

All because of one prude
A female trainer present at the tournament later filed a complaint with OSU’s public safety department, Kenton said.
"Her boyfriend showed up and was not very happy about it," he said. "He asked her to do something about it."
But to be fair, maybe he was intimidated by the competition on display, if you know what I mean.
Wow. So good ol’ Dusty could use a course or two in public relations… or common sense… he can pick, either subject would be very beneficial.
I had NO idea people played that sport seriously. At least this is the biggest problem these kids are facing right now. Legal problems are minimal and they’re still in school… they should be happy with those two consolation prizes.
"The brownies,'' Fernandez said after the game. "The brownies are good for me to make three-points.''

That has stereotypical Eugene/UO written all over it
That entire article was about hippies playing frisbee. Wow haha

Sorry to interupt the high level of conversation but
after reading the article on Casey. And others saying that this crop of LB’s are as good as ever and that they are as deep at that position as they have been in recent memory.
Coupled with the inexperience at DL. Do any of you see some 3-4 defense in the future. Maybe take advantage of the strength in numbers at LB and hide some disadvantages in our D-Line? Not to say that the D-Line will be a weakness but if you can take a rookie D tackle out and replace him with an athletic LB, maybe one who has played JC ball or a guy who played last year but due to the depth at that position is sitting on the bench this year. Might not be a bad idea to throw in every now and again.
Tell me what you think ATQ’ers
To go out and ruin somebody's dreams like that, it feels real good," Oregon receiver Jaison Williams.
I mentioned in my writeup in the first scrimmage about some 3-4 sets they were practicing as I walked into Autzen. I didn’t see a lot of it but I believe I saw some formations. I think you are spot on in your assessment.

Cal did it
and I think it was just for last year. I may be wrong, some one might help me if I am, but they went last year because of their depth at LB and lack on the DL. My reservation would be our OLB, while athletic, are not edge rushers. Neither could rush the passer on an extended basis. But Mathews, LittleJohn, Prichert and Pasyinger sounds like a very exciting group.
Ducks Go!
RIP CITY!
did you mean Pleasant instead of Pritchart? I’m assuming yes?

And did you mean Pritchett?
Or is Pritchert the new Ropert/Chip Douglas? Hark!

i was just spelling it like T-Duck did, though I realize now I added a t and switched a vowel. Totes forgot about Chip Douglas bee tee dubs. I LOLed out loud just now. So an LOLOL.

From what I've read so far...
It seems that this won’t be happening, though I can’t find the coaches quotes right now. I’m sure we’ll do 3 down linemen at times, but we’re most likely staying solidly in the 4-3 category. While we have a lot of talent at LB, I think we do on the D-line also.
Also, on top of what trumpetduck added, I also concur that it seems that our linebackers lack the ability to be elite edge rushers, and wouldn’t want to see us waste the talent of Tukuafu on a 3-4 line position. He is perfect as an end in a 4-3, and negating him would most likely not help the defense overall.
And as far as Cal moving to the 3-4, which was based on depth, I think that we have quite a bit of depth and talent on the D-line, it’s just untested.

Your life is awesome until...
You get drunk because it is top 5 and undefeated teams Oregon State versus Oregon. The game is on National TV and ESPN has been there all week long. It is being hyped as the game of the century. Jacquizz Rodgers has rushed for 2,000 yards already, and Masoli had the year of his life, and everyone says the winner of this game will produce the Heisman winner. The game starts and from the get go it’s a battle, going into the 4th quarter tied at 35. The whole world is watching. Jacquizz already has 150 yards rushing, and 2 touchdowns, but Masoli is going toe to toe with 100 yards rushing of his own to go with 250 yards passing. The 4th quarter starts, and Kevin Frahm comes around the end and hits Masoli hard, snapping his leg in two, thus ending his career. The Ducks, without Masoli, cannot find the will to win, and the Beavs put up huge 4th quarter numbers (300 yards of offense, 30 more points to your 50 yards of offense and 10 points) winning 65-38 and putting up 600 yards of offense. After the game, it gets worse. Team doctors realize that LGB has tested positive for 4 different types of horse steroid and will not be able to play in the bowl game, which, as it turns out, was relegated to the Sun Bowl (out of the BCS at large picture, the Holiday Bowl didn’t want to take a team it took the previous year). Doesn’t matter anyone, without LGB and Masoli, you know Oregon is toast. So you go home, and drink, and drink, and drink until you can’t drink any more. Then you have one more drink. You are drunk. And it’s 5 AM. And just when you think your life couldn’t get any worse, you realize…. “shit, I have work in 3 hours”

~Sarcasm Alert!!!~
This was all possible (and 100% believeable) until…
The part where you say it’s tied at 35 in the 4th quarter and OSu scores 30 and the Ducks score only 10 more points…and the final score ends up at 65-38. Other than that, I’m buying it!
Was there a bong hit somewhere in the middle of typing the paragraph?
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
Yeah I realized afterwards that my math was all wrong
