Quack Fix: Former Players On Coach Altman; Spring Reviews For Duck QBs & RBs.

PrintIt seems we've hit the dog-days of non-football season. As Cinco de Mayo becomes Seis de Excedrin, a Google News search for Oregon Ducks turns up a bunch of old stuff. Here's what I could find:
- Haven't read enough on Dana Altman? Get to know him and his coaching style with the help of George Schroeder. George gets a different - and I think valuable - perspective from some of Altman's former players.
- This should be fun... If you haven't already heard, seven Oregon football players will take part in a football-only 60-yard dash race during Saturday's Oregon Twilight Meet at Hayward field. We'll see Remene Alston, D.J. Davis, Tyrell Irvin, Dior Mathis, Eddie Pleasant, Jide Shinaba and Brandon Williams. First - how cool is it that our new tight end is included in a sprint? Second - no doubt there will be a tackling dummy in Pleasant's lane at the finish line. No way Eddie Pleasant is going to sprint 60 yards and not have something to hit at the end.
- Rob Moseley has began his series of spring position reviews, with quarterbacks and running backs.
- I'm not sure who you think about when the name "Kendra" is mentioned, but today the R-G's Adam Jude is talking about Kendra Little. The Oregon junior leads the no. 32 ranked women's golf team as they prepare for NCAA regional competition.
- Chris Hansen of the R-G caught up with senior softball star Neena Bryant. The Ducks all-Pac-10 centerfielder has fought her way through an early hitting slump and is now playing better than ever. The no. 19 Ducks split a non-conference double header with Portland State yesterday.
Well, that's not a lot of quack. Take a little and leave some for the rest. Better yet, share anything else you run into today. Go Ducks!

Not gonna lie, When I read Chris Hansen
I thought the next words were going to be “with Dateline NBC” and that one of our players was a pedophile. Damn lowered expectations.
This makes me think that you WANT our players to be pedophiles.
At least we aren’t pedobears…

I saw this at lunch,
ESPN treated this in a “guilty until proven innocent” manner.

What a shock. That NEVER happens in the media. We Duck fans can attest to that.

Honestly I could see why they would do that considering his background
but that doesnt mean they should.
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
Just like they had a right to do that to Masoli given his background, right?

Eddie doesn't need a tackling dummie
Just have Justin Hoffman stand at the finish line. He will do anything to be a duck. I love his attitude.
been down so long, it looks like up to me.
Hahaha…it’s 39 degrees right now in (fuck) Boise. At least we don’t have to live there.

Seriously, weather trash talk?
I know you live in TN, but Eugene doesn’t exactly have a lot of room to be talking smack about other places’ weather.

It's nice here also,
but I’m not sure what the hell that fiery ball of death in the sky is supposed to be. Seems like I saw it six months ago and some homeless schizophrenic guy referred to it as his son.

ah, you can always tell when we're in the doldrums of college athletics...
when people on these message boards start talking about the weather, lol.
only 119 days till my buckeyes open the season — 121 days for your ducks. fall can’t come soon enough!
Having just gone through a winter in New York CIty, and looking forward to a summer here where there have already been some unbearable days… Don’t underrate Eugene and Oregon weather. It’s rarely, rarely too extreme.

Everything I read about Altman makes me very excited for next season. I’m thrilled to have a coach that emphasizes detail and precision, and gets his players to work hard on defense and rebounding.

Eh. Sounds like he’s going there, but 17-18 year old kids have pulled fast ones before. NuKeese Richardson did the exact same thing close to singing day. He convinced everyone over facebook that he was headed to Florida, then he pulled a fast one and signed with Tennessee.

I feel like I should scan your 1983 yearbook picture for use as someone's avatar...

Really?
Not quite sure what to say about that. Am I bothered more by the notion, or my by the fact that you took time out of your life to look up my 1983 yearbook picture? Probably the latter. You’ll never get those five minutes back.

I think the biggest problem is he made a big presentation out of announcing his commitment, and when the time came, he had no clue. He made an instinctive decision, to appease the crowd. However, it didn’t stop some people from continuing to recruit Jones because he didn’t sign an LOI.
He’s simply made a very public verbal commitment, and verbals are barely a commitment.

Gee, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you had read Canzano’s column this morning.

Why the hell not?
Good thing you know better. I honestly didn’t read it.
It’s my fire from the hip to make sense.
Where I probably differ from Canzano is, I’m totally cool with him taking this action. Not as an Oregon fan or a Husky hater – but really – I’d rather a kid be happy of where they are going than not.
Besides all that, he did make a huge scene for not signing an LOI
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"
Actually, that is exactly Canzano’s position.

Well, I am keeping the faith
but truth be told, it was it when I was still experiencing the glow from the Rose Bowl and before that infamous weekend in January. You know – thinking things like “I don’t want to take TOO much time off at Christmas next year, because I might need to take a week off during the second week of January” Ah, the days of innocence!
Don't be too hard on Sacramento.
It’s extremely well located, near cities that are actually nice.

Like Stockton? Ugh, no thanks. There are some decent areas of Sacramento, but I’m not a big fan overall.

Ducks set up for a second round of visits this weekend
One of them will be a 2011 National Top Recruit from Portland forward Kyle Wiltjer. Would be really good to see Oregon making some inroads into the Portland talent right off the bat.
The other two will be Tyrone Nared a JC power forward and Brady Heslip a guard from Boston College. Both would be great additions for this year.

is there anything on Michael Loyd Jr. since we have his brother on board?
Half the wheels, twice the alibi.
I really doubt we’d go after him considering he’d have to sit a year (his junior year) then he’d only play for one year. No real reason to add another kid to the junior class, take away another scholly only to get a kid for one year.

Just so you all know, I got home from softball, cracked open a Trader Joe’s Bavarian hefeweizen, tossed in a lemon from the backyard and am enjoying it immensely.
Yay for produce in beer!

Gotta say
There is nothing in that sentence to indicate you are a man….Softball, lemon….PRODUCE!!!!!
Really, softball? I mean, I don’t agree with the anti-lemon thing, but I can understand why some people don’t think it’s masculine. But there’s nothing wrong with softball. There are a TON of guys who play softball.

This is very true. It can be a little rough to pitch though, what with taking shots in between innings.
