PrintBig news about Rob Beard hit the wire last night. More to come I'm sure, so let's get right to your Morning Quack Fix:
- Kicker Rob Beard has been charged with fourth-degree assault in connection with last month's incident that put Beard in the hospital. The charge is a misdemeanor. According to police, Beard is charged with attacking a 19-year-old woman during the fight, which included 20 to 40 people. Police aren't releasing any other details of the fight at this time.
- The hubbub about the Pac-10's expansion continues. Conference commissioner Larry Scott did an interview with ESPN's Colin Cowherd yesterday, again certifying the legitimacy of a possible expansion. Meanwhile, San Diego State's new AD Jim Sterk, who left the same post at Washington State earlier this week, "can't see" SDSU in the Pac-10. Thanks, Captain Obvious.
- The Oregonian's Jeff Smith has the inside scoop from head coach George Horton on the Oregon baseball squad's opening day lineup. The team opens its season against Cal State Fullerton this Friday in Southern California. But if you want a real preview, check out Bruins Nation's Ryan Rosenblatt's preview from Monday, as well as his Pac-10 baseball preview from last night. Good stuff, Ryan!
- In hoops news, junior LeKendric Longmire was back at practice yesterday after missing the last five games due to "unspecified academic deficiencies." I don't really see any need to specify those deficiencies. I like the ambiguity. I'm sure LeKendric doesn't mind it either.
- Former Oregon quarterback Bill Musgrave (not to be confused with Bill Musgrave) was named assistant head coach of the Atlanta Falcons yesterday. Musgrave, who joined the Falcons' staff as quarterbacks coach in 2006, is credited with the development of starting QB Matt Ryan.
- For those who haven't had the pleasure of watching Paul Westhead's squad this season (and I'm one of them), the Oregon women's basketball team's final game at Mac Court will be broadcast regionally on Fox Sports Net on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 2:00 p.m. PT. If you live outside the Northwest like I do, call your cable provider to see if this game is included with your package. If you've been able to watch regional broadcasts of the men's games, you shouldn't have any trouble with this one.

Pac-10 Expansion
If the Pac-10 is really going to expand, I don’t see why people aren’t talking more about Oklahoma. Colorado is nice and all and Utah is Utah. But if Texas is the main goal, why not bring in Oklahoma too. True, Oklahoma City is not a huge market, but it’s probably as big as Salt Lake. And regardless of the market, you get another program with national following. Add Texas and Oklahoma to the Pac-10 and you get 2 programs everyone wants to see every week and you preserve an important rivalry. Plus, both Texas and Oklahoma strengthen the Pac-10 in most all sports. God knows we could use the Longhorns in hoops this year.
Why I’m not hearing more people talk about the Sooners is something I don’t understand.
Plus if the Longhorns leave the Big 12, it would seem the Sooners’ commitment to the league would be limited.
Would never happen...
I do think that the only way Texas would leave the Big 12 is if Oklahoma came with them. The Red River Rivalry is too important to break up and Texas wouldn’t want to use one of their OCC games every year to play the Sooners. I mean they have to beat up at least 2 FCS schools a year to feel good about themselves… I kid. But geographically it wouldn’t make sense for either team to leave their region to play all of their conference road games two time zones away. Plus why leave your conference to basically be in the same exact setup you already have.
There is NO charge for Awesomeness
Yeah, and why leave and have to go against USC every year as well as each other. Texas and Oklahoma have a relatively simple path to the title game every year. They have money. Moving would make no sense for them.

Dont worry buddy, we all had those back in the day.

Sterk saying he can’t see SDSU in the PAC-10 is like me saying I can’t see myself as a serious contender in the World’s Strongest Man competition.

I hope these charges pass, because the kicker situation could get very iffy if Beard is dismissed.

It’s fourth degree assault. It’s not a felony. Assuming he’s convicted, that doesn’t mean he’s off the team.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I know.
But still, CK has proven that he has a low tolerance to BS in the program. If he’s convicted, I’d be willing to bet that there would be at least a suspension.

Unless something shocking comes out (this charge really isn’t surprising at all considering Oregon’s assault laws), I would be surprised if Beard missed any playing time, or even if he received a significant suspension during the offseason.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
That's my fault, I haven't really looked at what 4th degree assault in Oregon is defined as...

by TennesseeQuackAttack8 on Feb 17, 2010 7:48 AM PST up reply actions
Here’s the definition.
My guess is that he “recklessly caused physical injury to another” during the fight. I wouldn’t imagine that his attack was intentional, but still, it’s against the law.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Sounds to me like some woman got caught up in the fight and Beard socked her on accident.

I think chip can give a little ground in this, because he was stepping into the fight in defense of bowlin

OKLAHOMA, TEXAS in the PAC-10 not gonna happen
Im sorry but why would Oklahoma or Texas for that matter leave the Big 12? The compete for the Big 12 Championship and National Championship every year. Why would they leave a conference that has produced a National Championship birth 7 out of the last 10 years. Oklahoma and Texas are out of the question. Im from Oklahoma and personally hate the Sooners but I know for a fact this will never happen….. Like EVER! I dont know I may be wrong but being from Oklahoma I dont see anyway this is possible.
You're right.

If any team was going to go out of the BIG 12 it would be Colorado…. and they are probably the most inconsistent team in the NCAA. They atleast have money….
Not to mention that it makes the best geographic sense.

Yeah… I could see Colorado going I mean its not going to hurt the Big 12 to let them go… I think I heard if Colorado leaves the Big 12 was going to pick up Houston. So in a way it might help both conferences. Houston could walk into the Big 12 and compete.
As it turns out the Big 12 has been more concerned with high flying offenses than stingy defenses. I dont see why they wouldnt consider TCU though. They have always been competitive especially when they play Big 12 teams. I think they were the last team to beat OU at home. It would be interesting to see it pan out. Im not sure if TCU wants to leave…. But who knows
Why would Houston rather stay in the Mtn. West?
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
You got me….. I would think they would want to get into a big time conference. Maybe their other sports programs arent readily able to compete with the other programs in the Big 12. I mean its not just about football. Does TCU even have a basketball team? HAHAHA wow see there is your answer…..
TCU does have a basketball team
They are 12-15. 4-8 in conference.
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
Good call….. So obviosly they wouldnt be able to compete in the big 12. It has to be TCU’s other programs that are holding the football team back.

Currently the charges are Assult-4, Strangulation, and Menacing....resulting from a domestic dispute
did he get in a fight? or beat up his gf or what?
this came so suddenly. what is wrong with our players right now?!
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
Arrested and charged with domestic abuse, a felony?
You wonder?
If he’s not booted off the team CK loses all that goodwill he’s been trying to build up.
This is not a “heat-of-the-moment” thing like Blount. This is a Future Wife Beaters of America tryout.
everything is history, eventually.
Arrested and charged with domestic abuse, a felony?
IANAL – those are all Class A misdemeanors, not felonies.

Why? Remember his youtube video from Texas where he was brandishing a gun? I admit I’m surprised every time but I’m not she he is the last one I would expect to have an issue.

He wasn’t brandishing a gun, he was with a friend that brandished a gun.
Hanging out with the wrong crowd, and being in the wrong crowd aren’t exactly the same thing.

But he was clearly making a choice to hang out with those guys. I’m sorry but people make decisions for themselves, and it was clear that’s who ran with back home, and didn’t make the best decisions.
by The VD Special on Feb 17, 2010 8:54 AM PST up reply actions
I disagree with that.
Not in the interest of defending LMJ, but from the fact that we don’t know the circumstances around that. We don’t know if LMJ was with those people frequently or not. All we know is he was around a questionable group of people once.
I’ve been around drug users before, but I don’t “hang” with them. And it wasn’t particularly my choice to be around them either.

But it’s so much more fun to judge people from a position of ignorance!
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
its true
you never know when you are going to end up with some people you don’t want to be with. Or if just one person is going to show up and make you all look bad. Who knows if the one kid with the gun just showed up or is his best friend, not me.

What the hell is going on in the Oregon program?
James Charged with Strangulation, Assult-4 and menacing from a domestic dispute? If everything is as it seems, then there is a very real possibility of the jail time. This isn’t Nebraska

shit.

CK needs to get a handle on this shit ASAP. If that takes making an example out of someone, then so be it, but this cannot continue.

You would think with the whole Blount debacle last year
that players wouldnt be crazy enough to pull something like that this year. They all know CK doesn’t mess around.

I could see James being suspended for a lot of games to set an example....
Hello Lache Seastrunk…..you want playing time this year? You might be getting it
What the hell is this? Why is our entire roster simultaneously deciding to do its best “1980’s-era Miami” impersonation? Blount’s starting to look like a serious contender for this year’s Upstanding Citizen award.
The “Masoli is a criminal” jokes bothered me before, but what’s going to bother me now is that A) it won’t be limited to Masoli, and B) there won’t be a damned thing I can say about any of it.
Getting a few Fulmer Cup points is funny. Getting enough to be a serious contender for the title is not. We’ve got to get this shit together.

My serious interpretation: FUCK THIS SHIT.

On the LCSD's website?
“The Lane County Sheriff’s Office website lists James’ charges as strangulation, assault-4 and menacing.”
Anybody else able to find a ref to this on the Lane County Sheriff’s Office website? All I can find is two day old stuff.
everything is history, eventually.
Yup
Go to the Corrections Boooking Log.
This is what we have:
STRANGULATION DV APA EGC PC
ASSAULT-4 DV APA EGC PC
MENACING DV APA EGC PC
He was arrested by the Springfield cops too, wtf was he doing there?
All misdemeanors

when will these kids ever learn?
NOTHING good ever happens after midnight.
everything is history, eventually.
Yes it does
But not in Springfield where he was arrested.

Yup, nothing good ever happens after the bars close
Especially if you ingest a gas station hamburger to try and deal with your alcohol consumption (which we did at Grinnell since it was the only place open after 2 AM)
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
This is all just a dream
This can’t be happening. Im gonna wake up in just a sec and everything will be alright. LaMichael will be sleeping in bed just like he has been since 7 the previous night, Oregon will again win the Pac-10, and everything will be fine…Right? Right?!?
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
They need to just kick him off the team
Or this shit is just gonna keep happening….no one wants to be Miami or Ohio State…even if they win.
Dude, come on. We have absolutely no idea what the hell happened. At least give the guy a fair hearing. He’s not guilty yet.

How do you explain away strangling a woman?
I agree that all things need to be heard and understood, but in what circumstances is strangling an acceptable response?
I have no clue what any of the details are. But neither do you, besides knowing that he was charged with something. For any domestic incident, charges are pretty much automatic, to get the two parties away from each other. At this point, it doesn’t tell us a whole lot.
So let’s lay off the judgement until we have some actual information.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
We also need to keep in mind that, while he was arrested, it is standard protocol to take on person into custody overnight from a domestic dispute.
Any experts can feel free to correct me on that claim, if I’m wrong.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-N-O-B-A-L-L-S"
In Oregon it is absolutely
And its a good policy.
