Quack Fix: John Wooden, Sweeps, and a Disappointing Senior Day

PrintI have one simple request. And that is to have ducks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
- Am I really writing this the day after our third sweep of the season? This isn't some crazy version of the hangover? If men's basketball sweeps the Washington schools and Stanford loses to Cal, we are guaranteed at least 8th place and avoid the play-in game. How crazy is that?
- I wasn't expecting to see the old Tajuan Porter ever again but he exploded onto the scene yesterday, carrying the Ducks with 29 points.
- The women's basketball team looked poised to have one of their best wins of the season but UCLA outscored the Ducks 41-9 in the final 14 minutes of the game to send the seniors out with a disappointing loss.
- The Track and Field teams got some much needed momentum as the women won their first ever Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championship with 133 points. The men placed 6th in the same event. Next up: the NCAA Indoor Championships in 2 weeks.
- Mark Baker of the Register Guard puts the football team's issues in a greater perspective.
- Some Bruins fans are of a mind that their basketball team didn't care enough that John Wooden was in attendance and therefore gave a horrible effort and lost the game.
- if you didn't see this, here comes the red turf at Eastern Washington!
We'll have an open thread available for those that want to discuss the USA vs Canada Gold Medal Game from the Olympics starting at about 11:30am. If you find any quack in the meantime, please post it up and Go Ducks!

What do Ducks dream of, when they take a little Duck snooze? Do they dream of mauling Bruins, or Tajuan Porter in his 2007 suit?

Slightly OT: Steve Alford gets a mention in Deadspin this morning. I know there’s some Duck fans out there who like Alford as a potential replacement for Kent.
I was just gonna post that.
Not exactly the type of conduct you would desire from an experienced coach such as Alford…

Bobby Knight was his college coach
And, to be fair, the kid did pull a dick move. I like the fire from him!

Still…HE’S A MAN! HE’S FORTY (FIVE)!
Fire is good, calling college kids on the opposing team a-holes…not so good.

Just playing devils advocate. He lost his cool in the heat of battle but at least he didn’t put his hands on a kid. I understand where he was coming from but he didn’t go about it right

Couldnt the Ducks get 7th?
if they sweep the Washington schools, OSU gets sweeped by the Washington schools, and Stanford loses. Hey wait that puts us at 8-10. If USC and UCLA who are both 8-8 in conference get swept by the Arizona schools, does that put us in 5th?
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
I believe that’s right. One of the recaps I read this morning mentioned there was still a chance the Ducks could finish fifth in the Pac-10. How crazy would that be?
Friggin' Pac-10, man.

Don't the bottom four teams have to play in?
If eight teams get in and there’s a play in game that leaves nine teams. You’d need another play in game.

With USC ineligible, the 7 seed gets a pass this year. Only the bottom 2 play in.
It's spelled "C-A-N-Z-A-N-O-S-P-A-R-E-N-T-S-D-O-N-T-B-E-L-I-E-V-E-I-N-H-I-M"
I support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.

by Brian Floyd on Feb 28, 2010 11:02 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Exactly.
As cougfan said above, we let LT go, and are basically letting Sproles go. So that leaves us with Michael Bennett. Thats it.

why they non tendered sproles is beyond me

Well,
Last season we had to franchise him and aid him over 6 million a season. He did not produce nearly 6 million dollars worth of output, so I imagine that the management just wants to move on.

No.
Keep him at least 3 or more states away from us at all times.

I still don’t think that’s far enough away for you.

I doubt he falls that far...
Maybe McCluster

McCluster will be a great role player in the NFL,
But I just cannot imagine a 160 pound runningback going in the first round. If we could pick him up in the late second, or preferably the third, I would be ecstatic.

He weighed in at 172 at the combine.
About what CJ came in at. Now he’s about 205. And the best running back in the league, by far.

I wish.
All of the mocks having going some time in the teens though. Many Charger fans (myself included) are looking at Ryan Mathews out of Fresno State.

Sweet.
Do you know what he weighed in at? If it is over 215, I officially want the Bolts to draft him at 28.

218

That is a very nice combo of size and speed.
Just about as ideal as you could ask for.

Draft Gerhart, then.

We need an all around back that can catch passes.
LT had the size (220), and was a great reciever out of the backfield. Mathews is a little faster and can catch better.

Thats an okay time.
If he ran under 4.6, He woud have put himself in a good spot. Does he get to run again?

I'm not sure.
I’m VERY interested to see Toby run.

Toby's time: 4.53
What was that about not having sufficient speed, now?

Wow.
That is a real surprise. Now I think the only knock on him is all of his reported nagging injuries.

NFL Network commentator made a good point.
What 200 LB NFL defensive back is going to be able to stop a 235 pound mass of muscle running downhill with a 4.53 40 time?

Well,
They have to tackle low. And we all know what LeGarrette does when a DB tries to go low.

Well, Gerhart ran a faster 40 than McCluster.

I wouldnt read too much into that.
McCluster must have ran the worst 40 of his life.
This off-season officially sucks for FIVE reasons and counting...
This may be true.
But most observers DO grossly underestimate Gerhart’s speed.

All that matters now is he is out of the Pac-10.

I STILL have nightmares about that game...
I want the Titans to draft Gerhart at 16.
White thunder and black lighting in the backfield with VY. That would be deadly.

Let me go ahead and say that I'm being facetious.
Because we need defensive help much more than another RB…but that would be deadly, as I said
