Quack Fix: Ducks win again in the CBI, prepare for Boise State on Wednesday

PrintLots of quack out there this morning -- enjoy!
- The Ducks held on to beat Duquesne 77-75 last night. Garrett Sim led the way with 20 points and Joevan Catron notched a double double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Rob Moseley has a piece on Catron extending his Oregon career for at least one more game.
- The Ducks will take on Boise State in the CBI semifinals on Wednesday at Matthew Knight Arena. The other semifinal game matches up Creighton and Central Florida, which means we could see an Oregon - Creighton matchup in the finals.
- In continuing his series of positional spring previews, Rob Moseley takes a look at the offensive line. Despite the fact that the line lost a lot of experience and leadership, Moseley argues that the group that lines up in Dallas in September is still significantly more experienced than the group that started in Boise State in 2009.
- It looks like John Hunt is also offering his own positional previews and, just like Moseley, he started with the quarterbacks.
- Ted Miller completed his list of the top 25 players from last season on Friday with Andrew Luck taking the top spot. On Monday, Miller offered a few thoughts on his list. Today, Miller runs through 19 players who just missed out making the top 25, including a couple of Ducks.
- Freshman Aaron Jones was named Pac-10 Player of the Week after his performance (5-10, 2 RBI, 4 runs) helped the Ducks to win three straight against San Diego.
- Finally, Oregon State has hired a new running backs coach -- former Oregon defensive graduate assistant Chris Brasfield. It looks like Brasfield's first job will be trying to replace Jacquizz Rodgers. Paul Buker also has a story on the hire.
Go Ducks!

Hey Tako, my spam filter deleted the fantasy baseball invite.
Can I get a re-send?
They once showed a clip of the Oregon offense to the French. The French decided to surrender, just to be on the safe side.

Also, has there been any announcements on when tickets will go on sale for the LSU game?
StubHub is only selling suites right now.

Nope. Season ticket holders should hear about tickets first, so that’s your best bet for getting tickets.
There have been enough questions about tickets that I’ll be front-paging any info that comes out.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I wrote the ticket office last month
this is what they said
We have very little information at this time. When season ticket renewals are sent out by the first of March, season ticket holders will have the opportunity to purchase the LSU tickets at that time.

If that actually helps at all

They can most likely request tickets when they renew, but won’t know anything for quite a while.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I could buy tickets to the LSU game when I renewed my season tickets. I imagine once all renewals are in (mid April is the deadline) they will put them on sale through the athletic dept to everyone. I don’t know anything about student tix however.
I dont think they care about students
But it would be nice to be able to buy tickets sooner then later, poor students like me cant just afford to buy a last minute plane ticket

You know
Back in the ‘old days’ we would just all pile in the VW Golf and drive to the game. Broke down in Mt. Shasta City on the way to LA one time, but that’s part of the fun. Is the art of the college road trip lost for good?

Have you ever driven through New Mexico and Texas? College road trips can be fun, definitely. But that drive BLOWS.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Ooh oooh oooh memeemememe I have I have I have.
I know what you mean on NM but I kinda disagree on the New Mexico part if you plan it right, Bandelier, Santa Fe, Albuquerque or Gila Cliff, Las Cruces, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns. Some cool shit in NM, I would not lump it in with West Texas. Texans go to New Mexico to see actual terrain (actually true).
West Texas is 10-14 hrs of why why why.
I would recommend a side trip to Big Bend National Park or Marfa, to break up those 10hrs-14hrs, but those are a bit out of the way as well and would actually add some time.
Otherwise, just close your eyes and put a decent sized rock on the gas peddle.
There aren’t any turns, you’ll be fine.

Indeed I have
Took that route to Shreveport Louisiana. Liked New Mexico. West Texas competes with South Dakota as the most horrible, insanity provoking stretch of highway in America.
West Texas competes with South Dakota
Not even true. I liked South Dakota (the badlands, mt rushmore, crazy horse). The worst stretch of highway ever is western Utah. Hey look salt!. More salt!.

True
But after you visit Mt Rushmore and the Badlands there is 6 hours of NOTHING until you hit Minnesota, at which time you have another 4 hours of NOTHING to look forward to until you hit the Mississippi.
But I agree that Utah sucks unless you are in the Wasatch range or Zion.
West Texas competes with South Dakota as the most horrible, insanity provoking stretch of highway in America.
I’ve never driven thorough Texas or South Dakota. But, good God, Southern Idaho had to be right up there.

Sounds awesome
We should be getting more $ than the SEC, think of all the massive TV markets we have in our region alone.

The impetus for seeking an unprecedented contract, according to the SBJ, was the deal Fox signed recently with the Big 12.
You might have screwed yourselves in trying to save the Big 12, but in the mean time you’re also giving us a nice leg up. Thanks again Texas.

I was going over my "I hate fBSU" rituals and I decided I'd like to branch out for Wednesday's game.
I plan on drinking punch while watching The Punch. Any other suggestions?

That Urban will replace Sweater Vest at Ohio State. I don’t necessarily agree but see here for more: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_bianchi/2011/03/in-wake-of-bruce-pearl-firing-urban-meyer-will-replace-jim-tressel-at-ohio-state.html

I believe Coleman and Lyerla will enroll early if I'm not mistaken
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
After reading Rob's post on the O-line
I was wondering what the latest on Hamani Stevens is. Anyone have any idea if we’ll be seeing him in a Duck uniform again?

Am I missing something?
John Hunt seems to have left out Mariota.

by DuckUntilDeath on Mar 22, 2011 12:00 PM PDT reply actions
Mariota's not showing up til the summer
I believe Hunt is listing the depth chart as it stands in the spring. Hopefully Mariota is good enough and can grasp the offense quickly to take over the #3 position, allowing Hawkins to move full time to wide reciever.

YES!
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/22/there-will-be-no-blue-nfl-fields/
All of that has only served to overshadow the real news coming out of New Orleans: There will never be a blue field in the NFL.
The league voted on Tuesday to require teams to keep their playing surface green. This is known as the "Boise rule" in reference to Boise State’s field.
The measure will prevent any team from making their field blue or orange or purple or whatever strange color that a sponsor could possibly pay for.
No team has publicly tried such a stunt, but the passage of the rule this year makes us wonder if some team was going to try.

I do think we’ll be a bit thin. There isn’t a ton of talent up front.

I feel like we might see something substantial from Lyerla or french, whichever plays defense
