PrintRay, next time someone asks you if you’re a god, you say YES!
- The Oregon baseball team won its first Pac-10 series since baseball was reinstated by splitting yesterday's double-header with Stanford. Even game 2 was winnable as the Ducks had the bases loaded in the top of the 9th but couldn't push any runs across to take a 2-1 loss to the Cardinal.
- Speaking of baseball, Baseball America has a short feature on Oregon in it's "Biggest Leap Forward" section.
- Anyone catch the Pepsi Invitational yesterday? If so, you saw the Ducks send a message to the rest of the nation.
- Our friends at ATQ South are seething this morning, absolutely livid, as the Duck softball team dispatched the California Golden Bears, 1-0. Oregon only had 2 hits but Kaitlin Vitek's homerun was all the offense needed to take the game.
- Looks like Longview, Washington just found out that we had some legal troubles this off-season. News must be flowing slowly up there. In other news, it has been reported that the State of Washington got it's first taste of movable type this week. On the cover? Jake Locker breast feeding all of the Seattle media.
- The Tennessee Volunteers are looking for a quarterback to replace transferring Nick Stephens.
- Here are some notes about the Portland St. Vikings and their spring practices.
As always, if you have any quack to share, please drop it below. We'll have some notes about the spring game coming up this afternoon so stay tuned for that. Go Ducks!

I'd be willing to bet that it will be Matt Simms starting for the Vols...

That is good for us.
Lil’ Simms is always high as a kite. He will probably leave at halftime to go watch Avatar in Imax for the twelfth time.

Don't know if anyone else caught it
But Ted Miller has something about the visor/football auction up on the ESPN Pac-10 Blog…cool of him to mention it.
As a former employee of the Longview Daily News (I had a paper route as a kid), I gotta say that is exactly the kind of drivel I would expect from them.

The relative merits of the “overrated” cheer just got brought up in the Braves blog.
Apparently, if you’re a Giants fan, it applies to the guy who went 3-3 with a HR and 2 walks on you last night.
STILL stopping every few minutes to realize "Whoa. The Saints won the Super Bowl."
If I were a Giants fan, I would be jealous too.

Of not having extremely ugly team colors?
Of making it to the postseason in ’93?
Also, I’m pretty sure 6’5" 240 does not qualify as “prepubescent.”

look, man
You know I’m a big Mariners fan, but we’re 2-5, have no offense, and our big offseason acquistion won’t play for another month……not exactly time to be trash talking.

I'm not in panic mode, still
But I sure as hell won’t be thumping my chest and talking smack anytime soon. Early baseball this year is take your medicine baseball.

But in all honesty, who would you rather have
Felix Hernandez and Cliff Lee, or Tommy Hanson and Jair Jurrjens?

Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain.

You’re just bitter because you grew up in Portland without a baseball team.

I remember when Portland almost got the train wreck called the Expos/Nationals

we were never close
we were a pawn. MLB wanted them in DC all along, they just needed a pawn to get their nice new DC stadium.
Meanwhile, Portland will never get MLB because, while it would be a great draw here, the chances of getting a stadium built are less than zero. We can’t even build a crappy minor league stadium to keep our AAA team around.

ah yes, but ask for $30MM to put in a soccer field that will never be able to pay it back and that’s a done deal.

Actually I’m kind of excited to have another pro franchise in Portland because 1) when the NBA lock out and the NFL strike happen I might actually have a chance to care about soccer and find out why people love the sport so much and 2) it will be really interesting to see if Portland can support a second pro sports team.
I’m just being realistic in the fact that Portland spends $30MM on a Pro Soccer team when very few of teams actually make money and there is little to no chance that money will ever be recouped

Point taken.
I will cling to my pipe dream of soccer finally gaining equal footing to money sports in America, someday. It is much better off than it was 10 years ago. The problem right now is that while MLS is gaining popularity, it’s still a second or third-tier league internationally. The European leagues are more competitive and have better athletes, and most Americans who really love soccer still tune in to EPL before they tune into MLS.
That being said, I am very excited for 2011. I just hope we get a cool jersey sponsor (read: Oregon microbrewery) so I can kit up in green and white without having to advertise for SolarWorld.
