Quack Fix: Ducks drawing praise after successful weekend for baseball and track

Today's quack fix is a lesson on what a team can do with a great head coach. Let's hope basketball will soon follow in the steps of baseball and track. 

Got any other quack? Leave it below. GO DUCKS!

Track so far seems to have been a great thing for LaMichael James.

After all, just about everyone says he is noticeably faster going into this season. Hopefully some of the new speedy freshman from football can contribute to the track team in the future (I’m looking at you Dior Mathis and Lache Seastrunk).

Man, not the most exciting day for Duck news. Here's some practice updates

From Moseley:

After perhaps taking a step back Friday in the quarterback competition, sophomore Darron Thomas was sharp for the first three-quarters of today’s practice. During a 7-on-7 sequence, he completed six straight passes—three to tight end David Paulson and another to Lavasier Tuinei, who made a great grab as he was falling out of bounds. Thomas’ next pass was dropped by Diante Jackson across the middle, and the next one was just out of reach of Tuinei on the other sideline. So that was eight straight well-thrown balls.

"Darron threw the ball really well," Kelly said. "I was impressed with him. He was a lot sharper in 7-on-7. He was a little more focused."

As usual, Moseley has all sorts of other info, including the status of Anthony Gildon, who was injured on Friday.

My favorite quote:
PLAY OF THE DAY: During an 11-on-11 drill, Kelly might have been trying to rekindle his days as a New Hampshire defensive back when he made a touchdown-saving "stop" on cornerback Cliff Harris, who, after intercepting Costa, was holding the ball in the air in celebration while doing a Deion Sanders-style high-step toward the end zone. Kelly stepped in and knocked the ball out Harris’ hands before he reached the end zone, then gave Harris an earful.

"You can’t do that," Kelly said after practice. "That’s a penalty in college football, and it’s a live-ball penalty, so that touchdown would’ve been called back. That stuff’s unacceptable. We don’t play that way. We don’t hotdog. We don’t do that stuff.

"The other reason I did it is, you have no idea where other people are coming from. He thinks he’s clean, but if a defender comes from nowhere and strips him, we may lose the game. Those are fundamental things we need to do a better job of. … It’s better to do it on a Monday in the spring than on a Saturday in the fall."

is this the all-time low for comments in a quack fix post?

If anyone could help it would be greatly apperciated

Does anyone know where the visitor’s fans usually sit at in Neyland Stadium (for the Tennessee game) Tickets are on Stubhub now and I’d prefer to sit by Duck fans.

school assignment involving duckies.

Like a few other members of AtQ, I’m a high school student. I’ve been assigned a project (in my catering class) to hypothetically start a new restaurant in Eugene and create a menu for it. My idea for the restaurant is a barbecue stand (a lot like the one on E 18th) called “BBQuack”; the name is the best I could come up with. Basically, aimed towards college students and other duck fans on campus. We’ll have a lot of barbecued beaver, fuskie, and bronco btw.

Overall, the project is pretty simple, though I lack the artistic ability necessary to create a logo for the menu/menu cover. My teacher has approved of getting outside help for the logo and my deadline is Wednesday. Let me know if you can help, the logo doesn’t need to be anything special just needs to have the following:

Restaurant Name: BBQuack
Slogan: “A duck fans clear choice for BBQ”
and duck,bbq art

Thanks. Also, I thought this up in 2 minutes and am not taking this too seriously, so feel free to make fun of it. I have no plans to ever open a restaurant, if you’re worried.

Duck baseball is fun to follow. I like them. Young team that is going to be even better the next 2 years.

If Marcus Camby doesn’t resign with the Blazers I vote we make him our new Head Coach.
