Quack Fix: Incoming freshman on campus, Altman hires Stubblefield

PrintIt's been a pretty quiet week in Duck land, but don't worry, we have some quack to keep you going:
- It may seem like football season is still ages away, but almost the entire 2010 class is now on campus, attending summer school. The only players not on campus from the 2010 class are S Isaac Dixon and CB Troy Hill. But every other future star is already preparing to make an impact this season. While any freshman could end up making an impact (as we learned with Terrance Mitchell during the spring), I'm particularly excited to see what Lache Seastrunk, Josh Huff, and Ricky Heimuli can do with some time to get acclimated to the program.
- It looks like Dana Altman has his assistant coaches in place after hiring Tony Stubblefield from the University of Cincinnati. While not officially announced by Oregon, this seems to be a poorly kept secret around Cincinnati, where Stubblefield has been an assistant coach. Stubblefield has made his name as a recruiter, and will be at Oregon just in time for the summer recruiting period, which starts July 6th.
- Former Duck Galen Rupp won his second straight national title 10000m at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships yesterday. The pace was a bit slower than normal, but Rupp stayed patient and made his move in the final 600m to win the race.
- In a bit of recruiting news, Oregon has hosted a couple players in recent days. OL Andre Yruretagoyena had such a good visit to Eugene that he's now rethinking visiting schools like Michigan and Arkansas, however, he'll be visiting Oregon State and Washington over the weekend. Meanwhile, Duck Territory caught up with QB Marcus Mariota (subscription only), who many assumed would commit to the Ducks after his visit. However, a late push by Washington has caused Marcus to delay his decision, and he expects to have a decision made by the end of next week.
- Heisman Pundit has a fun list, the fastest players in college football. And he compiles these numbers through hard data. Topping the list is Jeffrey Demps, who ran a 9.96 in the 100m in Eugene a few weeks ago (yeah, it was aided by wind). LaMichael James is given an honorable mention, which is fair. He has some very fast times on the track, but not quite fast enough to match the other speedsters. Yet, I'll take James over the pure speed. He has it all: speed, vision, agility, power. Is it Sept. 4th yet?
Leave your other quack below. GO DUCKS!

I hate Washington so much
That I start to hate any player considering them. Irrational? Sure, but so is agreeing to go to Washington.

also nice to see no script in the end zone (i think?)

i cant tell
does it have a “12” in it yet?

looks like a 10 to me
Which makes sense because for next season there will be 10 teams not 12

it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-I-T-T-L-E-H-O-S-T-I-L-E"
New Pac 10 rule. Oregon’s offense is too good, so the visiting teams get to play on a shorter field just to try and make it fair.

The letters haven’t been applied yet, but I think if I had a similar picture for Husy stadium or the Bavers I would be tempted

If the last O was on there, it would be tempting, but the fact that the O isn’t aligned with the rest, it makes me feel better.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-I-T-T-L-E-H-O-S-T-I-L-E"
probably wouldn't be hard to photoshop a carrot above the second O
You have to admit that would be a pretty funny image.

I’m most interested in what the wall is going to look like after they repaint. Although the Pac logo in Green and Yellow is pretty sweet.

but $2 is worth dreaming, considering I have 1:35.6 odds of winning something less than the jackpot. I want to win the lottery and then just by lottery tickets with the winnings, pretty much along the lines that started this whole lottery conversation

Four Ducks yet to race tonight (Purvis, White, Blood, Acosta)
"This World Cup has turned out like World War 2! The French & Ialians surrendered early, the USA arrive at the last minute and the English are left to fight the Germans!"

No Purvis and White, but Blood’s running at 6:14 and Acosta at 6:35 in the 5000 finals.

To be honest, I tried it during the football season when you posted the link before. I’ve tried using the link in Quicktime and VLC w/ no luck. No worries, thank goodness for Goduck.tv.
I feel like I should say something smart.
Quinn, do you have the 2008 Civil War? I tried the one on goducks.tv but it says “not found” when I try to start it. On your father’s page it looks like there’s only 2009 games.

hit the “game replays” tab, and select Football from the dropdown. They have everything but the Rose Bowl (and maybe boise) along with about 2/3 of 2008 all free. Some will have the OSN broadcast so you get Joe G et. al., but all the games are there.
