PrintI'm the king of the quack!!!
- The 2010 Track and Field Pac-10 Championships get underway at 10am PST today and the USC Trojans look to be the primary threat to an Oregon championship repeat. If the Ducks pull it out today, that would make 4 Pac-10 Championships in a row. Oregon Live has plenty of links and notes.
- Tyler Anderson wasn't impressed with his work during Baseball's 5-0 win over East Tennessee State yesterday. Baseball continues at 5pm PST today.
- These stories are must reads (RG, O-Live) for those that spent any time at all on the University of Oregon campus. Friday marked the 40th year of the Red Rooster Barber Shop on 13th.
- One of my favorite Lady Ducks of all time, Taylor Lilley is now a member of the Phoenix Mercury WNBA team. Congratulations to Taylor!
- The Stanford softball team took out Oregon for the second straight night, 5-1. The Ducks drop to 33-17 (7-12 in conference).
- In Oregon State news, George Schroeder makes note of the magic slowly coming back into the Beaver Track and Field program. Let me be the first one to say it. It will take YEARS before the Beaver program will ever be competitive with ours. YEARS I say! On a personal note, I think football players participating in Track is a great thing for both University Athletic Departments. Hard to steal laptops and golf carts when you are running the 100m. Well, maybe you'll be better at it. Nevermind.
- A Capella group "On The Rocks" has been pronounced by the media as a viral hit! It's amazing how much online services like YouTube have impacted popularity of things like these. We had a capella groups when I was in school that would hang out on 13th and the EMU all the time. Since the media has deemed them a viral hit, does that mean they've officially jumped the shark?
Another quack-filled day. Enjoy the weather, enjoy the baseball game. To close, here is a cool picture of the Autzen turf replacement in progress. I miss the crown already.

Always good to see a pitcher not sitting back on his laurels and still finding ways to improve, even after 7 2/3 innings of 4-hit ball.
Welcome to Nashville, LeGarrette. Also, I love the Jay-Hey Kid.

Any idea about the painting of the ‘2009’ on the north wall for the Pac-10 Champions? I noticed that it wasn’t there at the Spring Game. Also, the lettering was looking a bit more teal than green. Has anyone heard anything about this?
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
Has anyone leaked the new Pac-10 logo yet?

It reminds me of like… a medieval shield.
I was never a fan of the sun rays on the old logo. This is neither cool or bad. It’s just different.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-I-T-T-L-E-I-L-L-L-A-T-E-L-Y"
I never liked the sun ray box
I’m not crazy about this one either, but I think its a little better. Not sure what’s going on with the golf clubish look at the bottom where the Darker area surrounding the “10” contacts only the right leg of the “A”.

i’m sure a few people have seen this video recap of the Spring Game and festivities but if you haven’t, here it is:

if anyone doubts CK’s character or ability to lead this program, they are a fool.

Anybody know how interested this kid is in the Ducks? I was just reading up on him, and he seems to be an absolute freak.

So to make a long story short
I now have a 2.5 yard by 2 yard swatch of the old autzen turf :D
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
And I have a 6 inch by 18 inch swatch.

Taylor Lilley's Phoenix Mercury opened the WNBA season with a win today
Her stats: DNP (Coaches Decision). Granted the team only went 8 deep.
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
They won by 1
So yeah she’d be unlikely to play in that kind of game.

Ducks beat ETSU
7-6 in a strange game, 3 in a row.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Look
If I’m reading everything right (and I’m not sure I am), the final in Track & Field is:
Men: Oregon first with 168.5 to second place Southern Cal’s 156.
Women: Oregon wtih 215 to second place Arizona’s 109!
Two more Pac-10 championships for the Ducks!
STILL stopping every few minutes to realize "Whoa. The Saints won the Super Bowl."
might I add… that 215 by the women tied the school’s conference record set in 1983

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
Except High Jump.
They had two football players score in that one, so that’s legit.
Good bounce back week for baseball
4-0.
