Quack Fix: Ducks sign a PG, spring practices come to a close and baseball takes on Portland

Despite spring practices ending with Saturday's spring game, there's still a lot of football quack out there today.  Hopefully, it's enough to last until fall camp. 

Go Ducks!

A few comments from Loyd via John Hunt, though nothing all that exciting.

Also, the Oregon AD ordered the Nike/UO Athletic department contract to be released in full. Do you think this is getting old for Rachel Bachman? She keeps pushing and pushing, and anytime something gets released, no one cares.

I love this comment in the article, she sounds so disappointed:

Despite the legal wrangling, the contract appears to be standard for a school of Oregon’s size and with an athletic department of considerable stature.

And I read the contract

Yup its standard.

Two things of note today

1: New 30 for 30 tonight! It’s “The 16th man” about the 1995 rugby world cup in South Africa. Narrated by….Morgan Freeman!

2: A Phillies fan ran onto the field last night. Normally you get tackled, led off in a drunken stupor in this instance, but this time security tasered him. Lets hope Autzen security doesn’t get any ideas.

They have been asking all the SC experts what they think of the tazer

Its pretty funny. The list on the left is filled with blank on the tazer.

Were the Pilots not supposed to compete for years either?
the Ducks host the Portland Pilots (ranked #22 in the Collegiate Baseball poll, which has Oregon at #19) who have won 10 straight games.

So this is the game that will determine the Best College Baseball Team in Oregon? Someone might want to hide all the sharp objects over at Building the Dam.

To be fair, Portland has played the Beavers three times this season — and have lost all three games. They have also split two games with UW.

Tennessee is A-list in name only

Third coach in three years, they lost a lot of their young talent in that stupid carjacking and they weren’t good last year.

Some Tennessee football players decided it would be fun to attempt a carjacking. Notable point include the use of a BB gun to do this, the reaction of the victim (“I still think they should play. What happened to me isn’t important, but this is TENNESSEE FOOTBAW”), and the use of a Prius as a getaway vehicle.

Sweet

Pretty cool opportunity for that kid. When he keeps a wide base he looks okay. But he has a tendency to stand straight up and reach for the defender. He’ll have to break that habit pronto. Love how he goes Three Stooges on the first guy with a finger to the eye…ouch! I wonder if he offered up the obligatory "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" first?

it's been a while, quack heads!

so i recorded the oregon spring game and just watched it last night. it seriously sucks that you guys won’t have masoli this year, but that thomas kid looked pretty good. i kind of feel like costa is the kind of quarterback you’d want to have in the game if your team is trying to protect a big lead, but if you’re down in the fourth and trying to rally, you’d want that thomas kid in there, making plays. at least, that’s the point of view from an outsider who lives in ohio who only watched one spring game, lol.

Omigosh! It’s DAVEREG!

Keen observation. I actually think you got it pretty well put. Thomas is a high-risk/high-reward player. Costa is a manager.

Dave mentioned at the spring game that we have a lot of offensive weapons, so we don’t need the extra risk. I think that’s the best argument I’ve heard to play Costa over Thomas; however, we are down by three scores in the second half, I’d feel better about our chances to come back with Thomas than Costa. (But Thomas could very well also blow the game away)

What’s funny is that their respective performances in the spring game only reinforced the perception that we had in the first place. Costa is the smart, heady game manager who can run make consistently good decisions, but who probably won’t hit you many homeruns. Thomas is the raw talent who can do more athletically but will also make the occasional poor decison.

I think everyone was hoping that one of the two would show more than those generalized analyses, but neither really did. Costa made a bunch of smart plays, but was very conservative and didn’t really go downfield in the passing game (it’s impossible to tell how much of that was playcalling and how much was his own decision not to air it out). Thomas looked explosive at times, but also made a few poor throws, including a pick-6.

Who knows? Looks like this thing will be decided in the fall. My biggest wish is that one of them comes out and WINS the job by performing well rather than Kelly picking Costa simply because Costa won’t make too many mistakes.

Davereg!!!

Still drinking that crappy Miller Lite? Good to see you around here again. Keen insight and I think a number of your points are what the coaching staff is trying to gauge on who starts next year.

Take care.

Chip losing control of the whole state!

http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2010/05/04/cliff-football-player-arrested/

So this makes 3 OSU players in the past month that have been arrested or cited by police. How many does it take before Canzano calls Riley to tell him his team is out of control and ESPN does an OTL story on the state of the program?

In other words,

the media treats star players differently than role players? Sounds suspiciously like Chip Kelly’s disciplinary methods. This can only mean one thing:
