Quack Fix: Mac Court memories, ex-Duck gets community service, and is Bryce Brown transferring?

TGIW. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- With Mac Court's final two games coming up this weekend, much attention is being paid to the 83-year-old venue's many memories. The Oregonian examines the historic gym's best players, while the Register-Guard's Bob Clark recaps the reactions of a few Pac-10 coaches to "The Pit" in Monday's weekly Pac-10 call. One thing's for sure: There's no shortage of memories.
- Former Oregon walk-on defensive end Matt Simms, who was dismissed from the team in February, was sentenced to 40 hours of community service after his misdemeanor assault charge was reduced to harassment.
- Remember Bryce Brown? The former prized Oregon recruit who snubbed the Ducks for Lane Kiffin and Tennessee is apparently rumored to be taking a wait-and-see approach with new Vols head coach and Kiffin successor Derek Dooley. If Brown does decide to transfer, speculation is he'll join his older brother Arthur and former Oregon quarterback-turned-wide-receiver Chris Harper at Kansas State. I really couldn't care less as long as he doesn't end up at USC...or Oregon for that matter.
- Oregon freshman left-fielder Allie Burger was named the Pac-10's Softball Player of the Week yesterday. In four games, Burger went 8-for-10 with eight total bases, an .800 slugging average and an .818 on-base percentage. Not bad for a freshman.
- The No. 6 Oregon men's golf team finished the USC Invitational a record 21 under par, winning the 32-year-old event for the first time ever. Oregon sophomore Eugene Wong won the individual title, finishing 10 under.
- If Ernie Kent does in fact end up fired (and let's be honest), it looks like his replacement isn't going to be Oregon State's Craig Robinson. The second-year head coach signed a two-year contract extension with the Beavers yesterday.
- And now for a little Wednesday bonus quack: EDSBS has an amusing take on the Oregon cheerleader who was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of drunk driving. I especially like the video, but I'm sure some ATQer has already seen that well-timed piece of hilarity.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.
GO DUCKS!

Nice to get a win vs. the Fuskies last night
This could be a good, or at least decent, team going forward. How many years do you think til we pass OSU in baseball?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Next year
Then you will see some really sore beavers.
The mere fact that we were ranked
Fake as it was (I liken it to UW being ranked in Football this year) is a big deal for a program this new.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It was huge
it just shows that we are not that far from being a consistent top 25 team, another 5 years and I think we will be a top 25 mainstay. Horton is amazing!
Its amazing, isn't it
How good coaches like Horton and CK can move a program forward.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It is
It seems a good coach can only take you so far before you have to upgrade coaches to be an elite team, but for Baseball and Football I think we are set…
This coach is an elite coach
And of course we have great baseball facilities and whatnot.

Long discussion on expansion, because we haven’t had enough.
Also, goducks.com takes way too many stats to say “Burger got eight singles and a walk in eleven plate appearances.”

They don't have a lot of content
So they have to extend their stories by a lot in order to compete for readership.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Yeah. I guess it was just funny that once you’ve told me she went 8-for-10, 8 total bases is the worst she could have done, and going from there to an .800 slugging percentage tells me nothing new.

Eh, I realize now that they were saying that she led the team in all these categories, and when quacking the link, only “here were the typical important stats” came through.

I agree
I had to read that twice. 8 for 10 with an .800 slugging pctg. Wow! That’s great…hold on…that means she just had 8 singles? Oh.
Still impressive, of course, but kind of an odd way of saying it.

Yeah. More impressive when you note she got nothing but singles and still led the team in slugging & total bases.

Sorry for leaving the baseball win out.
I’m on the West Coast (unlike Nick and Jared), so I had this bad boy done by 9:30 p.m. last night. Usually I wait until midnight, but I have a social life too, dammit!
Addicted To Quack. If you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
I certainly did. I’m actually enjoying this season, unlike the last few where I was frustrated half the time with their lack of answers (and with time travel).
Although (KIND OF SPOILER ALERT), where the hell did Ben and Sun and the other people come from last night? They just kind of showed up.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
In the last episode
didn’t after Locke left the place where Jacob was killed didn’t Ben say they were going to the temple because that is the only place where they’d be safe (or am I making that up?)
Anyway, great episode last night.
Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

That’s probably right, although I certainly didn’t remember that when I saw them show up. I think the confusing part is that they came running down a hallway as the smoke monster destroyed everyone else. The assumption is that they came in a secret entrance and didn’t just waltz in the front door, but that wasn’t really made clear.

O/T, but some of you might care
Netherlands 2-1 USMNT
Too little, too late (as usual). US had 4 shots on goal in the first 85 minutes, and then 4 more in the final 5.
USMNT?
I think you meant: TMNT. And Michaelangelo would never lose to the Dutch. Plus he’s a party dude.

Remember, they were teenagers back when they were popular, like 20 years ago. Now they’re Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles.

US played pretty well honestly
I’m okay with this, seeing as we don’t even have two of our best players.
The Dutch are insane on offense.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I DVR'd it but couldn't stay away from the matchcast. Sounded like they did play them pretty tough.
But I’m not sure we can count on Dempsey or Davies being fully fit for World Cup anyway, so this may have been the best team we could hope to field.
by HoodRiverDuck on Mar 3, 2010 2:48 PM PST up reply actions
exactly
The Dutch are sooooo good, good effort for the US, we just have to keep growing and getting better.
I Don't Yell O I SCREAM!
What would be so bad about Bryce Brown ending up at USC?
Sure, it means USC would have another talented running back. Nothing new. On the other hand, he’s a recruiting violation time bomb.
Does Wong stroke?

Where is the days since last incident clock!!??
This off-season officially sucks for FIVE reasons and counting...
It breaks when it gets past 8
Since its designer never expected a possible need for a higher number.

Um...we had an "incident" yesterday

I was personally curious as to whether the cheer "issue" (or typical park job),
Would set the clock back or not. Hard to believe that it has only been 9 days since the last football issue, seems like an eternity ago.

Well, I think it was a typical woman attempting to parallel park, and the addition of alcohol magnified it.

I was working on a revision of it, but I got too busy at work to finish it.
Since the cheerleader incident was Saturday, that would make it…

I should also say that Bryce Brown, in no way, deserved to be the top prospect in ’09 that he was.
He’s a good player, but he will never be a Heisman contender or an All-American, in my opinion.

ummmm
would there be another reason he hires one? And it says its due to the ongoing stuff right in the article

Ok, so he decided what attorney to hire… That’s a big deal?

Yeah, it’s really not a big deal. The article made it seem like he only recently hired a lawyer, which seems crazy to me. He should have hired a lawyer the moment the allegations came out.
However, it’s important to note that the article didn’t say when he hired a lawyer, only that the lawyer just now confirmed that he’s a client of Embry.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
noooooo
its the fact that he decided hire an attorney, and has said its directly related. I think its safe to say they have more info than we do in this case.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Reply fail.

New FA(t)Q:
It is not necessary to point out every single reply fail. We knew, they know, everybody already knows. Let it go.

Don’t take it personally. It’s just become a weird trend that people feel entitled and obligated to point out someone else’s failure.
If someone makes a habit of it or a new person comes across it, it’s nice to remind them of the reply button. Because it makes following a conversation way easier.
It is similar to the “FIRST!” type posts. It adds nothing to the conversation.
