Quack Fix: Baseball host WSU, Football team will end spring focusing on more than just football

PrintShould be an exciting weekend in Eugene, with a baseball series, and the spring game. Make sure to remember the ATQ Spring game challenge.
- Oregon baseball hosts WSU this weekend. The Cougs are on the bottom half of the conference, while the Ducks are on a pretty decent streak, winning 9 of their last 12. Oregon could win it's 4th straight Pac-10 series this weekend.
- Bob Clark has a good piece on Justin LaTempa, who will take the hill in Oregon's second game of the series. LaTempa, a senior, had to overcome a lot to get to this point, coming from community college, and then having to miss last season due to shoulder surgery, but has become one of the keys in Oregon's surprising pitching staff.
- Not yet psyched for the spring game? We mentioned it in the comments of the quack fix yesterday, but it's just too good not to pass along again. OregonGridiron.com has a new video up on the "Oregon Spring Game Draft," which is pretty great. Also, here's a pic of the uniforms to be used on Saturday.
- One of the best aspects of the spring game will be how it will be about more than just the football team. The University will be conducting the food drive, and also raising money for the families of troops overseas. And Chip Kelly is taking it one step further, going on a trip to the Middle East, which he spoke about with KVAL.
- Matt Hinton of Dr. Saturday runs down Oregon's chances at a national title next season, and gives the Ducks only 2 out of 5 crystal balls. While I think he undersells the Oregon defense (which made huge strides last season to be tops in the Pac-10), Oregon is going to have to be so much more consistent on both sides of the ball if it wants to compete seriously for a national title.
- It seems the two inquiry's into Mike Bellotti's contract situation are over, and the results could have been predicted weeks ago: There was no criminal wrongdoing nor would public expenses be used to pay Bellotti. The AG also found the sum paid to be "not unreasonable." While this entire situation could have easily been avoided, it's good to see a bit of sanity applied.
- Lastly, Terrence Jones is announcing his college choice tonight. It seems like the Ducks are a longshot at this point, but, it's recruiting, so I'm holding out hope he'll join Dana Altman at Oregon.
Got any other quack to share with the rest of the addicts? Leave it in the comments. GO DUCKS!

that search is hardly indicitative of anything
to put a phrase in quote is pretty self-limiting.
It very much a longshot that we get Jones, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked. At this point, though, my biggest hope is that he doesn’t go to Washington.

Good interview. We could see the defense take another big step forward this year. It’s definitely a weird feeling as an Oregon fan, having the defense be dominant at times. If they can carry that and become more consistent, the whole team could be scary good.

Thanks again, Matt, for all your help with this.
By the way, we just got the blood test results last night – Wolf officially has OI. On the one hand, we were holding out the slim hope it could be something less life-altering, but on the other hand, now we know what we’re dealing with and we can start treatment.
The best news is that he doesn’t have the more severe types of OI, so there’s still a good chance that he can walk, run, and heck, maybe even hit a baseball or kick a fieldgoal like a normal boy. It’s amazing that we can even hope that after everything that’s gone on. Thanks for all your prayers and support.

I had to take the SAT 2’s for UC requirements
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
I took the real old SAT. I think it was the "SAT Zero".
1973. Took it a year early, for some stupid reason I don’t recall. Was going to retake, but never got around to it.
580 verbal, 680 math. I have no idea how that translates into today’s metric scores, but it was good enough to get me into Reed (fortunately, my brain wasn’t smart enough to keep me there, and I transferred to Oregon after a year of humiliation).
BENZDUCK FOR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR!
Why the hell not?
Wow - I'm impressed
You went to Reed?!? By virtue of getting in there an staying for a year you are about 20x smarter than me. Now, mind you, I got into ASU. But I’m pretty sure their academic standards are roughly the same as Clackamas Community College.
Maybe I was 20x smarter, but after a year of ingesting massive quantities of mind-altering substances (it was the 70s after all), I killed off about 19x of my brain cells. At least I think I did.

Right, this isn’t on Altman. Only so much pixie dust to put into an hour meeting with a potential recruit. I think he’ll be good at long term romance when given the chance. Keep in mind he’s used to recruiting for a 2nd tier program successfully, being able to lure good athletes from bigger programs.

We fucked up the coaching search so badly, I’m not surprised to see the top recruits pass us over this year.
I think that next year we’re still going to have a not-so-great basketball season, but we’re going to hopefully play real defense and smarter ball, and then we’ll find out if Altman can recruit with a clean slate. Right now I’d take 5 so-so guys out there playing smart team ball over 1 really talented young kid.

The scuttlebutt is that Altman is one of those “beat your kids with his kids, then trade teams and beat his kids with your kids” coaches. Which is pretty much the opposite of what we’re used to, so, the fact that he’ll have a thin freshman class at best might not be a total negative.
The other thing I heard about him is that when he was at K-State, he was considered the most boring coach, if not human being, in the history of coaches if not humanity. Again, not necessarily a bad thing.
I for one look forward to watching my team play without seeing the coach screaming at them the whole game. Based on that video that was recently posted, Altman’s voice doesn’t seem to have much yell left in it.

Fuck the Lakers.
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
Oregon down by 1 bottom of the ninth, but have men on first and second with no outs after a walk and catchers interference.

bah hit it in just the wrong place
1st and 3rd two outs for the ducks.
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
we had ample chances to score 5-6 runs tonight
had the leadoff runner on in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th innings among other things. Just let this one get away.
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
Losing close games suck...
But it’s still pretty awesome just how far this team has come. Last year we would have been lucky to lose by only a run and be in the game late. Hopefully they can get the next two games of the series.

this loss was on Horton
he left Anderson in for the 8th up 2-0, but Anderson had thrown 110 pitches. Predictably, he got drilled.
With how good our bullpen is, no reason to leave a pitcher in having thrown that many pitches.

thats very true
it reminded me of the Grady Little debacle in 2003. Excuse me I have to go vomit now.

Eeeeeew. Thanks for the unpleasant me

That's a lot of pitches, especially for a college pitcher.

didn't David Price average something like that in his last year at Mizzouri?

An hour ago?
Did you just open the mail and get an acceptance letter? Did Chip just call you with a scholly? Did you just send them a big fat tuition deposit? What?
Sent in the online intent to register, and the 200 bucks they ask for!

Wait, for real?
Congratulations dude. Accepted?

I had been accepted to all of the schools I applied to,
But made my decision to attend UO official a few hours ago. Talk about procrastination.

SoCal to Oregon
My wife lived a few miles from you, in La Costa, when we met back when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. The rain was a little tought for her at first because we moved back up during the Winter so she had to deal with it through Spring. But by the time her first Summer here was over she loved it. We have been back here for over 5 years now and even though her whole family still lives in SoCal, she doesn’t want to move back.
My point? Someone that lived only a few miles from you fell in love with Oregon.

I hope that is the case with myself as well.
I know a few kids from my school that attend UO, and they all love it as well. I am looking forward to college life in Eugene.

By the way, Jones did not sign an LOI
This will be interesting to watch. Calipari, the dirtbag he is, has been making a late push for him, even after the presser.
Oh man, that would be too much. I might even feel sorry for the Fuskies… nah, just kidding… I’d die laughing if that happened.

It would be quite the dilemma for me, seeing as I absolutely hate both U Dub and U Kay.

Can anyone tell me how to post a youtube video as a fanshot?

You have to grab the embed code from youtube. And that embed code goes in the embed box once you click on the video tab.
