Nothing like a little afternoon quack to break up a long, three day weekend. With an amazing day of college football behind us, we have the makings of an excellent season. I thought it would be hard to top last year's "season of the upset" but this season looks promising. Scouring the Internet to find some positive Duck news was a little difficult but I found some good things.
- Nick Reed made the 53-man roster for the Seattle Seahawks. Congratulations to the guy with the motor that won't quit.
- How about that Oregon Women's Volleyball Team? Ahem, let me rephrase...that 4-0, No. 14 in the nation Oregon Women's Volleyball team. With the win over Seattle at Mac Court on Friday, that makes 4 straight sweeps. My how far this team has come in the last 4 years.
- Cross Country is at it again with a sweep in the Pre's Trail Pre-View last Friday. Next up for the Cross Country Team is the Bill Dellinger Invitational on October 2nd.
- Duck Sports News has released their 2009 wallpapers for iphones, computers and all kinds of electronic devices. I'm thinking Jay Jones has a crush on a certain cheerleader. ;)
- George Schroeder has an article up on the R-G talking about LeGarrette Blount wanting to call Boise State's Chris Petersen and Bryon Hout to apologize for his actions last Thursday.
- I'm not sure if we missed this one or what but the R-G also has a story up about Candyce Flynn, the newest member of the Oregon Women's Basketball Team.
- The State Board of Higher Education in Oregon has approved a financial distribution plan that reduces the general fund budget for all seven Oregon universities. The article also contains a variety of information on how much each school will lose and where money will be distributed.
- Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott is calling for sanctions against BSU player Byron Hout for his role in the LeGarrette Blount fiasco from Thursday. We always wanted Tom Hansen to get more involved in matters like these. Looks like Scott is the answer to that request.
As always, if you find some quack out there, please leave some in the comments. We won't prosecute you for distribution.

Our program is dead. Pete Carroll is quaking on the throne of his trojan temple. A dynasty has begun.
And all due to a loss at home.
It actually cheers me up a bit. We probably lost to a better team on the road and unlike Washington could actually have won.
Yes your ass looks big, you need to lose weight. Sorry, had to vent.

LSU is not going to come close to winning the SEC
If that is how they play this year.

The Huskies beat BSU when Ty was still there ...
… the Ducks have lost two in a row to them.
Husky optimism is due to the fact that the Dawgs outplayed the Tigers in all facets of the game that under normal conditions produce victories. Statistically, you will win most games when you a) run twice the number of offensive plays, b) double the total offense, and c) deliver more 3 and outs than you take.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

Glad to see Hout is being looked at. I attended the game and there is trouble for BSU if what that guy said is found out and things are looked into more. Good for Scott!

Another NY Times story
I looked up some of dvieira’s links, and the last one (about our new commissioner) was a NY Times article about Blount and Hout. One of its links was to a story from today’s Times: “After Punch, the Cleanup Begins.”
Just to raise everyone’s blood pressure, I thought you might find this quote interesting:
“Billy Winn had the night’s highlight defensive play, slamming Blount into the end zone for a safety in the second quarter. After the game, Winn slammed Oregon for being out of control.
“He called Blount’s punch a ‘cheap shot’ and added this verbal haymaker: ‘Their actions speak for their team. Something like that shows you what they’re being coached. If they were coached better than that, he wouldn’t have thrown that punch.’”
Insert favorite memories of 2008 BSU cheap shots here….
