Quack Fix: Ducks prepare for Pac-10 Track and Field Championships and the baseball team looks to recover from last week

PrintWell, the quack fix looks to be a little a light today. Good thing there's a football-themed Tako Tuesday to help pass the time.
- Let's start of the fix with some track and field news: the 2010 Pac-10 Track & Field Championships are this weekend at Cal and Curtis Anderson writes that while both Duck teams are favorites, they won't run away with the titles like last year.
- Moseley continues his positional review with special teams and seems optimistic about both Rob Beard and Jackson Rice heading into the fall. One thing it doesn't seem we'll need to worry about is the return game with Kenjon Barner looking to be the primary option.
- Ted Miller does an end-of-the-spring bowl prediction for the Pac-10. And, with two BCS bids and eight conference teams earning bids, Ted's right in describing the predictions as "too optimistic" and a "huge long shot."
- Despite an 0-4 record last week, Oregon still remains in the top 25 of several polls. This week, the Ducks look to get a break from the brutal Pac-10 schedule as they take on San Diego at home today before hosting three games against East Tennessee State. Bob Clark notes that third baseman J.J. Altobelli might miss the game today after a sprained ankle suffered this weekend.
And, that's about it. Add any other newsworthy links in the comments.
Go Ducks!

We might be getting a break from the Pac-10, but UCSD has a good team too. It won’t be easy to avoid a 5 game losing streak tonight.

You’re right, of course, as they are now ranked ahead of us by Baseball America. I didn’t mean to imply that UCSD was not a good team, just that we were playing non-conference opponents this week.
Didn’t mean to imply that you didn’t think San Diego was a good team, sorry if that’s how it came across. ETSU should be a nice break, though. They’re 27-21 (14-10 in Atlantic Sun play), and they were swept by Florida Gulf Coast last weekend.

I was going to say...
On is a private jesuit school, and the other is a state run university breaking into shambles.

The students in the UC system are so happy
that they’re throwing spontaneous surprise parties inside the main offices on campus! How thoughtful.

Not to mention,
At UCSD there was also all of the bizarre racism stuff a few months ago, stemming from the “Compton Cookout”.

for what it's worth
holding down the “alt” or “option” key, and then hitting the equals sign button produces this “≠”
just a neat little trick.

That is neat. I do like HRD’s resourcefulness though.

It stems from my first year of college @ UC-Davis.
The UC system couldn’t afford alt keys, so we had to make do. It was the primary reason I transferred to a real school, a bit further north.

Funny thing
I did see the UC chancellor on Wheel of Fortune a while back, during College Week.

OSU is gaining ground. Will the Beavs finally beat us in a football-related contest?

I'm not sure I'd use that reference
considering this isn’t an competition we actually WANT to win….

That is a pretty good point,
We jumped out to a massive holeshot lead to begin the competition, now we are coug’n it away.

Glad to see OS’s beat writer finally tackle some of their off-field issues.

Oregon won the spring game!
I guess we’re 1-0 now. The BCS, I’m sure, will award us greatly for this accomplishment.
I'd just like to let everyone know...
According to one of the ads on the sidebar, I can experience a “Beluga Whale Dream Tour” for just under $1500.
If “Beluga Whale Dream Tour” isn’t the best homoerotic euphemism ever, then I don’t know what ATQ is any more.

I watched a movie called “Beluga Whale Dream Tour” like three weeks ago. It was weird. Like, really weird.

and by "this guys" I meant "these guys"...
But if you read it in a drunk-guy voice it makes complete sense.
Oregon jumps on ranked San Diego
4-0 still bottom 1.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
6-0 with all runs scored with 2 out
Nice to see them get off to a fast start. USD’s fifth game in five days.
And they won all 4 previous games
Can’t be too disappointed should USD drop this one.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm still bummed that we lost all 4 previous games
We had a ton of chances in those games and gave away way too much.
Yeah, it was disappointing, but if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, how awesome is it that we’re enjoying so much success after such a terrible 2009 season. We’re in the 2nd year of reinstatement and we’re looking at probably a 2 or a 3 seed in the NCAA regionals. It’s awesome.

Absolutely Correct
It is awesome and I would never have imagined it. That said, I always want to beat the beavs and with better play, we could easily have taken a couple of those games and kept our momentum going. We’re going to the three in Eugene this weekend so I’ll be over it by then. A win today would help too.
Excellent.

I have a feeling that this one isn’t going to be as good as some of the other ones, considering Ice Cube is narrating and directing.
I lost some respect from him after his transition from N.W.A. to the “Are We There Yet?” series.

They showed a lot of him.
That being said, as a Raider and N.W.A fan, i liked it.
Does anyone know if they are coming out with a boxset of the 30 for 30’s after they are all done? There hasn’t been one I didn’t enjoy.

Damn Ice Cube is short! I know actors are short, but Ice Cube must be like 5’3". He’s at least a foot shorter than Charles Barkley who’s 6’4". Wow, he’s like Tom Cruise short.

…but leaving the Civil War game on Sunday, what celebratory music did OSU play as we were walking away from the stadium?

remember this story? well we have the answer
ODESSA, Texas — A West Texas student who led his high school basketball team to the state playoffs last season was actually a 22-year-old man, police said Tuesday.
Police say the basketball star was really Guerdwich Montimere, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti who school officials say was recognized last month by Florida coaches as having been a star high school player in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., a few years ago.
