Quack Fix: Oregon men sweep USC, women fall, baseball drops first game in Hawaii

Our dream may come true! Oregon may not finish last in the Pac-10! High hopes, I know.
- Oregon completed a season sweep of USC last night, beating he Trojans 54-44. And while we're used to seeing teams go on long runs against the Ducks, they turned the tables last night, holding the Trojans to only 12 points in the second half, and went without a point for ten minutes in the second half.
- Unfortunately, the Oregon women didn't get the same defensive performance, and they fell at Mac Court to USC, 87-84. Mistakes doomed the Ducks, and with three straight losses, any NCAA hopes are looking pretty grim.
- The baseball team fell as well, doomed by a poor first inning in which they gave up 3 unearned runs, and ended up falling by a final score of 4-3. Unfortunately, errors have killed the Ducks this year, with unearned runs being the big difference in both losses.
- Ted Miller has his spring preview, and talks a bit about the Oregon football team, a nice change of pace from all the legal issues that team has had. While Miller has concerns about the defensive line, his biggest area to watch is the passing game. If the Ducks can develop a competent downfield passing game, watch out.
- The Sporting News has a few notes from the combine, and mentions LeGarrette Blount, who will have a ton of scrutiny as he goes through interviews with various teams. But despite his incident, his draft stock is rising. He will be a gamble, but his talent will make him hard for teams to pass up once the draft gets to day 2, and a strong combine could vault him into the first two rounds.
- In a bit of Pac-10 news, Bill Moos has been hired as the new AD of Washington State. Coug Center gives their take. Unfortunately, WSU just doesn't have any room for error in the athletic world, and Bill Doba absolutely destroyed their football program. Moos will bring a different attitude and plan, but it's not gonna be easy. Hopefully they can become competitive in the Pac-10 once again.
Got any other quack to share? Leave it below. GO DUCKS!

Where is this wide receiver corpse Ted's talking about?
I mean, I haven’t heard anything about one of our players murdering a wide receiver.
It’s just like Bellotti, Phil Knight and Oregon to cover something like that up. All these other off the field troubles are just attempts to distract everyone from the corpse.

And columnists really have to scamble to try to pull a column out of thin air.
For instance, Did you that the Lakers would be a great matchup for the Blazers in the playoffs?
No I didnt John. Pulled that one out of your ass, eh?

The Lakers will destroy the Blazers in the playoffs.
Go Lakers!

All the Blazers need to do is take one in LA.
I don’t see LA winning in Portland. They’ve had trouble there.
That being said I don’t think the Blazers can do it.
I refuse
To bet against Kobe in the playoffs, that’s a fool’s gamble. When was the last time the Blazers made it out of the first round let alone beat the Lakers in the playoffs? It’s been a long time, just saying.

I like the the Red Sox. They are one of my favorite MLB teams. Mainly because I hate the Yankees, and so it’s a natural fit.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
This used to be my take until the Red Sox won the Series in ’04 and every single one of their transplanted fans (of which there are many, since actually living in Boston sucks, apparently) became insufferable a-holes.
Okay, not every single one, but man, if I see another dude wearing a green hat and a throwback Yaz jersey, you may not see me for awhile.

Aww, that’s cute. The Mariners are a sweet little franchise up there with their Ichiro and their good defense and their 40-year-old washed up Griffey.
Maybe this year they can be within single digits of the Angels at the end of the year. Miracles can happen.

You know, as much as I’d like to, I just can’t hate the Rangers. The only thing that would REALLY piss me off is if the A’s won the division. I hate the A’s.
I wouldn’t be happy if the Angels didn’t win it, but if they lost out to the Rangers, I’d root for them in the playoffs.

If the Mariners aren't in the playoffs
to hell with the rest of the AL West. Hate ‘em all. Hate the Yanks and Sox, too, so I usually root for whoever comes out of the craptacular AL Central. I’d root for the Orioles or Jays if they ever made it, but they’re in perpetual suck.

If Canada comes out anything like they came out on Wed against the Russians, the US is going to have their hands full. That game could wind up 6 – 5 or something.

I don’t like how much NBC is hailing the US team as a Cinderella. Every US player is an NHL player! They may not have Sid the Kid, but these are all pros.

Actually, I think the majority of the players are college players.
Though, most teams have a significant NHL player.
Canada is practically an all-star team.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-N-O-B-A-L-L-S"
No, every player on the US team is in the NHL, so Tako has a point. But the thing is, Canada’s team is ridiculously stacked with talent. They could have made ANOTHER team and that one probably would be good enough to medal.
The US is legitimately an underdog. They don’t have near as many skill players as Canada. But it’s nowhere close to being a Cinderella. I think they’re playing it that way because this is one of the only sports left where the US can actually root for an underdog.

Whoa whoa whoa, let’s not get carried away. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The person who approved the waiver probably thought they were signing a yearlong suspension for a college baseball player who was in the same room as an agent once.

Isn't it saying he's not to stay with Harris?
James was released to the home of James Harris, the athletic department’s nutritionist and life skills director, but the NCAA later ruled that constituted an extra benefit.
I think what the article is saying is that he has been granted a waiver in the form of buying time for the university to find him a place to stay. I don’t think he can stay with James Harris as Harris is an employee of the Athletic Department.
