Quack Fix: Duck men and women lose again, a few more recruiting updates

It's Friday! So let's start off with some good news. Yesterday ATQ hit two million page views! It's been really exciting to see the growth of this site over the past year. Thanks to everyone who makes this part of your daily routine, and taking part in the best Oregon Duck community around. On to the quack!

  • The Duck men lost again. And while they at least led this game (it was 2-0 at one point), the Ducks were 1/18 from three point range, and fell 89-57. I really don't have anything to add to this, but all the guys in the open thread were on fire last night. If you've got some time to kill, the 400+ comments of self-loathing and pain may make you forget just how bad our basketball team has become.
  • The Duck women fell to Cal at Mac Court, 72-62. The Bears did an excellent job shutting down the most potent offense in the nation, and Oregon was outrebounded 53-31. Things don't get easier for the Ducks, as they face the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal this weekend.
  • At least there's some football quack. Rob Moseley takes a look at the 2009 secondary, which was one of the most exciting part of the team. With youngsters like Cliff Harris, John Boyett, and Javes Lewis stepping up, the Ducks look to be in great shape heading into 2010, even if there are depth concerns. 
  • Ted Miller continues his decade retrospection with the All Pac-10 team. Three Duck linemen made the list: Haloti Ngata, Adam Snyder, and Max Unger. Miller also has a few predictions/questions for the next ten year. Most important, how will the Pac-10 keep up with the Big 10 and SEC in terms of TV and exposure.
  • In recruiting news, OregonLive has a piece on incoming Duck CB Terrance Mitchell. While only a 3* recruit, Mitchell may be a bit underrated, and has excelled at the camps he's been to, and adds excellent depth to the secondary of this years class.
  • Bob Rickert also has a roundup of the latest recruiting gossip. One of the Duck's top targets, DT Bjoern Werner, will be deciding between Oregon and FSU this weekend, though his decision won't be made public until signing day. Also, Owamagbe Odighizuwa is done with all his in home visits, and should be deciding soon as well. I like Oregon's chances, but you just never know. There's lot of other notes in his piece, so make sure to check it out.

Got any other quack to share or discuss. Comment below. GO DUCKS!

not sure that compares to Nebraska’s ability to simply say, “SUH”

by echo31 on Jan 22, 2010 10:27 AM PST up reply actions  

They are also STACKED on the DL

Apparently Suh said his backup will be better than him. Not that that statement can’t be turned around to us, LMJ Seastruck, but it is something to cling to. I checked in 07 they have two 4* DT a 3* plus a lot of guys over the next few years. So i guess it depends on if he wants to blaze his own trail or not.

I feel good about Owa

For whatever reason. Maybe it was when he said he wanted to major in Sports Marketing.

then you probably don’t want to listen to this (around the 1:45 mark)

I predict a Lady Duck victory over the Cardinal!

Is anyone shocked?

Pride of Eugene! I’d be more concerned he’d gone Benedict if they caught him with some effeminate sheep.

Actually, he’s the pride of Anaheim, my home town. Him and his brother, while setting every rushing and receiving record in the county, also were in the news for getting into a lot of trouble.

Men’s basketball has scored 57 in 3 of their last 4 games. Does anyone else find that odd?

by echo31 on Jan 22, 2010 10:29 AM PST reply actions  

Josh Huff anyone?

I was just looking at Rivals Oregon site, dont have a subscription, and they have a story about Chip home visiting this Huff (APB) who is a TCU verbal. Is there anything Chippers like more than athletes for his backfield. TZR!

Interesting. Didn’t Ethan Grant switch his commitment to TCU? Curious

Yeah, and Huff and Grant are friends. The coaching staff would LOVE a Grant for Huff trade.

Oregon's staff ?

Would are the differences btw the two?

by My Name is Bryce on Jan 22, 2010 10:52 AM PST up reply actions  

From what I’ve heard, it sounds like Huff is more versatile, and though he’s listed as a RB, would be coming in as a WR.

Poor Colorado.

Have you seen them play? All of their wideout are 5-10, white, and slow. Dan Hawkins got so exposed there.

by My Name is Bryce on Jan 22, 2010 10:55 AM PST up reply actions  

And the funny thing is

If he could have got Peterson to come with him, it might have worked out. I think Peterson was too smart for that.

Man, what a craptacular week

That’s mostly me venting about personal stuff, but this week has made me so cynical that I am now convinced we are getting none of the big-time recruits we’re after.

Heck, I’m even convinced Masoli is going to transfer to Montana.

Is it evening yet? I need whiskey.

OT but what is the worst/funniest email subject line you ever got?

Mine had to be from a fine upstanding male enhancement product that simply read:

Your dick looks pretty bad.

by My Name is Bryce on Jan 22, 2010 12:48 PM PST reply actions  

I can’t believe I am going to say this but given my track record on Ernie Kent, I feel the irony is too good to pass up. The worst/funniest email subject line I received was

“Ernie Kent is the Best Coach in the Pac-10!”

We had a Korean customer with the words “Dong” and “Bang” in their name. So when the project first started to come around, email subjects often looked like, “Need a drawing of Dong”, “Dong Bang schedule”, “Meeting over your Dong Bang clients”

its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-N-O-B-A-L-L-S"
