Quack Fix: Ducks get verbal from Hawaii QB recruit, men's golf earns top seed at NCAAs

PrintThe Civil War Classic is tonight. Who's going? Let us know below in the poll. Anyway, there's not a ton out there today, but here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- Oregon has reportedly landed the first skill position player of its 2011 recruiting class, and he hails from Jeremiah Masoli's alma mater. Marcus Mariota, a 6'3", 180-pounder out of St. Louis in Hawaii, has verbally committed to the Ducks, according to Scout. Although Mariota is currently only considered a two-star recruit, he's reportedly very underrated. This will likely turn out to be a good get for coach Chip Kelly and the Ducks considering St. Louis's recent history of strong QBs (namely Timmy Chang, Jason Gesser and Masoli).
- The Oregon men's golf team will be the top seed at the NCAA Championships, which kick off June 1 at The Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn. The Ducks, who recently won the Southwest Regional, are making their third straight appearance in the national event.
- The No. 21 Ducks take on the Beavers tonight at 6:30 in the Civil War Classic at PGE Park in Portland. The game will air on Comcast SportsNet. Oregon has only four games remaining to make one final push for the postseason, including a 3-game series at PK Park this weekend against California. Who's going to tonight's game?

The Red X, captured here in its native habitat, hunts for the elusive answer to the question, “Why is Axemen bad at posting?”

All you fools and your Red X’s…
Switch to Chrome! You get a square, circle and triangle with colors on a page like thing!
It’s way more exciting than a silly Red X.
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 don’t think IT would be happy if I did that on my work computer without their permission. So I’ll just have to be satisfied with the X.

If your IT is making you use IE… they deserve to have people do things without their permission.

Mine makes me use IE 6.0 from about 10 years ago....
And I work at a software company…
Same here! Freakin' IE 6.0
I work for a huge international firm, yet we are still stuck with IE 6.0.
The damn thing barely works on most websites these days. I finally decided to throw caution to the wind and upgrade to IE 8.0, hoping nobody would notice. It works much better, but certain of our company intranet tools do not work with IE 8.0. So, a few times a month I have to switch back to IE 6.0, complete whatever task needs doing on our intranet tools, then upgrade back up to IE 8.0. A painful waste of time, but ultimately worth it to be able to actually read the rest of the internet.
I know that you could use all sorts of technical jargon to explain why IE is bad and stupid and all that, but it works just fine for me. My work technically doesn’t require me to spend much time on the internet, so there’s no sense in changing it, especially when they would have to approve it and all that stuff. I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
An interesting point was brought up on Rickert's blog,
With the exception of Masoli, all of the QB’s that Chip Kelly has recruited (including Mariota) have been 6’3" or taller. I think that this explains a lot about Masoli’s inconsistent passing game and the necessity of QB height in this offense.

there was an interesting article published last year talking about Chip having to do a lot of work on the offensive line movements because of the height issue at QB. I remember thinking “that’s genius”

Apparently Phil Steele’s mag just showed up at the doorstep of various media people, they’ve been tweeting his top 25….Oklahoma is his #1 team. Bit of a stretch no? USC is at 8, Oregon at 10 (think he learned his lesson from last year?)
Check Pat Forde’s twitter @espn4d if you want to see the rest of his top 25. Regardless of his idiot pick for us last year and slightly bizarre choices this year, I’m excited to get my hands on it. Tons of good data in there.

If Rainier becomes your summer beer, you will find yourself transported to Drain, Oregon and find yourself sitting on a broken down porch, next to a busted dryer with a rusted out 1978 Ford F150 pickup sitting on blocks in your overgrown weedy yard with 3 mongrel dogs laying on your potholed gravel driveway while you spit copenhagen directly onto the porch through the spaces left by your 4 missing teeth.

I am going to disagree.
Not with the description of the oh-so-unfortunately named Drain, but wit Ranier being the lowest of the low.

There is also generic Beer beer, but it just seems too silly to talk about that.

Hey, who remembers “Brew 92”? KGON (Yes, the radio station) put it out in the 80’s. Hilarious.

I also love that the drive from UO to UW (at least in my day, er, ow, ow my back) would take you within visible range of both the Oly and Ranier breweries, also poetic.
