Quack Fix: prepping for Portland State and baseball starts fall practice

With Tennessee in the rear-view mirror, the Ducks will move on to Portland State this week in their final tune-up before conference play begins.  Here's your Tuesday quack fix -- enjoy!

  • Moseley writes that the Ducks are not looking past Portland StateDarron Thomas has his own motivation for this weekend as he will face two of his former prep teammates who now play for the Vikings. 
  • Jackson Rice was named Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week after his performance Saturday at Neyland Stadium.  Rice averaged 41.8 yards on four punts, all of which were downed inside the 20 and none of which yielded any return yardage.  This is the second straight week that an Oregon player has been recognized as the conference's special teams player of the week.
  • In Moseley's practice blog entry from yesterday, Chip Kelly had this to say about Cliff Harris:
    He’s getting better.  He’s still got some work to do at corner, but he made a couple really nice plays for us. He almost played the same amount of snaps as (starter) Anthony (Gildon). Again, I think people make too much (about) who starts, who doesn’t start. I got a question about our backup D linemen; we don’t have any backup D linemen, we play nine guys. He’s not a backup corner; they play the same amount of reps.
  • The final installment of the recruiting roundtable with Rob Moseley, Chris Courtney and Matt Prehm has been posted and this time they discuss other potential targets for the upcoming recruiting class.
  • Fall practices for baseball opened this week and Bob Clark writes about the team's search to replace the graduated Eddie Rodriguez at catcher.  There seems to be a lot of options, with seven catchers on the roster, and Clark sounds optimistic about three of the newest Ducks stepping up to contribute.
  • Jim Beseda from the Oregonian blogs that Coach Horton is expecting even bigger things from the team this year: "You take the kids that we've developed the last two years, and you add what we think is potentially a pretty spectacular recruiting class, and I think we might be ready to make a little bit of a splash in college baseball this year."
  • The women's volleyball team has moved up to #16 in the latest AVCA National Poll.  The volleyball team jumped three spots in the poll and is still undefeated after going 4-0 last week.
  • Last year's NCAA champion women's indoor track and field team was honored at the White House on Monday.  The women's team was one of 30 teams present to receive a congratulatory address from President Obama. 

And that's your quack fix for today.  There is a short video package from KVAL that previews PSU and talks about the Tennessee game after the jump.

Go Ducks!

I can’t stress enough how far our baseball team has come in such a short time. For CWS to be the expectation in year three is more than any of us could have imagined. I love Coach Horton.

Tennessee, coming off its worst beating in Neyland Stadium history against Oregon, didn’t get to this point overnight. Similarly, one person didn’t bring this program down by himself.

Senile Bobby Bowden’s comment on GameDay Saturday morning still annoys me. He said something to the fact that “Oregon’s gonna find out that we play some defense down here in The South.” ugh.

moral to the story: i’m glad we helped push Tennessee off the cliff they were slowing walking towards. saying that, all the Tennessee fans last week have been great – this is more skewed toward the media and SEC vs The World debate.

The difference to me, though, is that the SEC almost revels in the rule-breaking (it’s just proof, at least in their minds, how much more seriously they take football). USC, on the other hand, still probably doesn’t think it did anything wrong.

At least its not as bad as it used to be

If you read, for example, “Junction Boys”, they are very open about giving players large sums of cash to get them to play for a school.

UCLA’s ‘Joe Bruin’ (4:03 PM) I’m pretty good with X’s and O’s, but I have to defer with Norm on that one. All of the Heisman players he’s coached and all the great offenses, he’s done well. I’m excted to see what he can do.

I really hope this isn’t the case, and let’s not jump to too many conclusions until we know anything more. I’d personally stay away from the Kent accusations, he was a good coach who did a lot of great things for the program and the school. I’d hate to have to retract any statements once all the facts are known.

I know the coaches can talk and talk and talk about compliance issues with the players, but can’t be blamed if players do something in spite of all the talk. I appreciate all the great things that Coach Kent did for the University and his program.

I do hope people will support Altman as he really has a tough job that has just gotten even tougher.

by Ducks73 on Sep 14, 2010 10:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think people will support Altman, because I think we’ll be competitive sooner rather than later (and by that I mean we’ll win games we shouldn’t in 2-3 years, and have higher than we shouldn’t expectations in 3-4 years).

Plus, it’s also good that Altman has the support of the AD and the boosters that he needs to build this program from the ground up. I just feel bad he’s had to be the firefighter that he’s been the last couple of weeks, putting out fires of the program.

with Big Mike...

I think it is just a matter of how far the rabbit hole goes down… The minute I heard of this pro contract I knew we were at least in some kind of trouble… I was just praying it was only during the off season before he played a game… now I’m not so sure… and the fact that the release says “multiple players” is concerning and goes all the way back to 08-09! My goodness… but seriously… if Dunigan does bring the program down… was there anybody who did less for a school?
