Quack Fix: Catching up with Aaron Brooks and the top moments from 2009-10

PrintIt appears we are still suffering from a quack shortage. Here's what I could find this morning.
- In today's Register-Guard, Ron Bellamy catches up with Aaron Brooks, who is hosting a youth basketball camp in Eugene this week. Brooks, who is coming off of a breakout season that saw him named the NBA's most improved player last year, offers his thoughts on Ernie Kent as well as how he motivates himself to improve on the basketball court.
- The Omahan has a feature on redshirt freshman QB Daryle Hawkins and his role in the current competition to replace Jeremiah Masoli as the next Oregon quarterback.
- The Daily Emerald runs down the top eight sports moments from the last academic year. Be forewarned, the list has both positive and negative moments -- unfortunately, the negative events make up more than half the list. Hopefully, next year's list will consist solely of positive moments that took place on the field of competition.
- CBS Sports has a fantasy football preview up of the Pac-10 that includes a brief look at each team and ends with tabbing Oregon as the favorite to win the conference. The article ends with some lists of players to target, sleepers, busts and newcomers, with a few Oregon players making an appearance.
- Aaron Fentress has a blog entry up at OregonLive on Simi Toeania being waived by the New York Jets on Monday. The entry includes an updated list of all the NFL players with ties to the state of Oregon. Former Ducks number 28 in the NFL.
- In case you missed it yesterday, the NCAA released details for the expanded first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. I am not a big fan of the expansion or the format, which will feature two games between automatic qualifier schools and two games pitting the last four at-large teams to make the tournament (slotted by RPI). I'd much have all of the play-in games feature at-large teams -- teams that automatically qualify for the tournament should be in the tournament and not have to take part in the play-in round as they deserve their spot in the tournament by earning their automatic bid.
Go Ducks!

I forgot them at work so I can’t quote from them, but I bought both of these last week. Usually there is a PAC-10 one, but haven’t found it yet. One of them has Oregon winning the PAC-10 and one has us coming in second (to USC). Some good stuff in both mags about us and their predictions and player analysis for the 2010 season.
Born to be a Duck.
And USC continues to get more than its share of brown lipstick from the preseason media
Hmm. 5-4 the previous season. Mass defections. Probation. A head coach who is the living definition of “unproven.” Loses its top offensive and defensive players. Yeah, I’d put them at #3 in the nation.
The only advantage here: Given their schedule, the scumbags are likely to be unbeaten and highly ranked by the time we get around to playing them.

How could the release of NCAA 11 not be featured in the quack fix! I call foul!
Official officer of the office of official blasphemy. Where what you say works 60% of the time, every time.
You're right
People might not notice the EA ads with Tom Treebow plastered all over the site. ATQ HOW CAN YOU FAIL YOUR READERS SO?!?
You're more and more of a functionalist poster these days.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I thought I was more of a poster period. We’ll see what happens after I move on Sunday – I’m betting it picks up until I make real friends.
This was the original "functionalist poster".

Blount featured on NFL.com
This is a great vid. I’m freakin stoked to watch him and CJ create one of the greatest ground games in the NFL. Has anyone been following Titan’s media, fans, and message-boards…I’m curious how the city is receiving him
Mostly positive feedback.
Don't look those hoodie-clad Huskies in the eyes. They'll give you lupus.

Just be glad you at least have the two non-crap play-in games
And you can thank TV for that. The TV folks quite rightly said no one would watch if it were only crap teams…

Gee, now i'm not so sure that this EA sponsored thing was such a good idea.
Considering I have to see Tim Tebow’s face all over my monitor every time i log into ATQ now :(

you could just not log into ATQ for a while.
I want Canzano to stand there in that [expletive] white uniform, and with his Harvard mouth, extend Chip some [expletive] courtesy! Addicted to Quack

On the list of current Oregon football players in the NFL from Olive

You are the only person I know who would care about including that fact.

too bad he’s going to such a crappy team.

Default reply to Axeman23: what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

He can come back after this deal
To join the quest for another Blazer title (they’ll have won by then).

Only if Oden can stay healthy and LMA can have his pussyitis cured.

Pac-Ten new number two bowl game...
Anybody see that the Alamo bowl is now our number two?
Yup
We knew that for a while….yet more improvements under this Pac-12 commish.

I just saw that...
pretty positive development

It will be played on January second for some reason, to try and create false prestige, because it hasn’t been prestigious. They’re trying to get better teams by paying more money, and so I guess that’s working for them. The best thing you can hope for in non-BCS bowls is to have a good matchup so people watch the game.
