Yesterday, we gained a Duck, then we lost a Duck. Then, to cap it off, we got a stellar 26-point performance from a Duck to help his underdog team force Game 7. Just another day in the life of Duck fans. Enjoy your Morning Quack Fix:
- The biggest news yesterday broke late last night: Junior wide receiver Aaron Pflugard has been granted his release from his Oregon athletic scholarship and plans leave the University. The local product finished his two seasons at Oregon with 23 catches for 247 yards and a TD. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
- In case you missed yesterday's breaking news, Malcolm Armstead has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at Oregon. The 6'0", 195-pound point guard, who played his freshman season Chipola College in Florida, plans to start for the Ducks next season. I have to admit, I like his confidence. It sure didn't take long to fill the hole Kamyron Brown left, huh?
- Scott Reid of The Orange County Register reported Wednesday that outgoing Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen thinks a Pac-10 cable television network is "inevitable." Although I think most of us would agree this is good news, I think I speak for many of us when I say, "Too little too late, Tom."
- ESPN.com's Ted Miller issued his "Best of Spring" for the Pac-10 yesterday. Jeremiah Masoli, Justin Roper, Jamere Holland, Walter Thurmond III, T.J. Ward and, of course, head coach Chip Kelly, all received mention.
- The Oregon women's basketball coach Paul Westhead announced the hiring of Janell Bergstrom as the program's Director of Operations yesterday. Bergstrom, an Oregon graduate (Class of '03), is a former Oregon softball player and was a first-team Pac-10 all-academic selection in 2003.
- And finally, for those of you in or around the Willamette Valley this weekend: Don't forget to check out the 2009 Pac-10 Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field this Saturday and Sunday. The Oregon men are vying for their third-straight Pac-10 title, so get out there and show your support!

I just saw some ass hat driving through campus in a middle of the road caddie with some PHAT new rims on it. Almost fell of my bike laughing. The dubs probably cost more than the car, stellar work as always Joe.

New vids just posted on Oregongridiron.com
Oregongridiron.com opened up the “Facilities” link on the website. The first video is of T.J. Ward showing off Autzen and the second one is Walter Thurmond giving a tour of the Training room. Enjoy…http://www.oregongridiron.com/facilities.html

Nice Link
Walter Thurmond III was absolutely great in his video. Love the hat but I’m staying away from the bod pod. I don’t think I want to know the results of that.

I like that he had two hats. He and AB need to start a fashion school when they are done playing.

This guy actually has a job?
Bud Withers is an asshat. Jeremiah johnson is a “5’8” runt", and apparently he is unaware that Sean Canfield has started several games.

The whole article is two weeks late and full of inaccuracies as pointed out by readers supporting several schools. Yet another case of a print guy whose job is fast becoming obsolete and at risk due to rapidly falling revenue at newspapers. So he’s purposely being over-dramatic as a means of reaching out for love from the local UW fan base.
Clearly this is Bud Withers putting on his finest push-up bra, an ultra-tight short skirt and pink, 5-inch gel heels for a walking tour of Montlake. He probably should be arrested for solicitation.
I'm really tired of it not being football season.

Speaking of hats
I dunno. Just seemed like this thread needed another hat reference of some sort.

Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?…It looks good on you, though…
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...

I'm not sure it's the hat
More the look on his face as if he’s auditioning for a role in Godfather IV…

That’s most definitely not me.
