PrintThere isn't a ton out there today, but even a little quack goes a long way. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- The Oregon men's basketball team takes on Boise State in a CBI semifinal game tonight at Matt Court. For those of you in the area, there are still tickets available (as of last night).
- Rob Moseley continues his spring preview series with Oregon's defensive line. Meanwhile, John Hunt takes a look at the Ducks' running backs.
- The Oregon men's golf team finished second to the nation's top ranked team, Oklahoma State, as host of the 2011 Duck Invitational at the Eugene Country Club. The Ducks and Cowboys were the only two teams of the field of 15 to finish under par.
- After sweeping Utah State and Weber State in two double-headers at home last weekend, the Oregon softball team remained in the NFCA top 15 for the seventh straight week. Weather permitting, the Ducks will play host to Portland State this afternoon in a double-header at Howe Field beginning at 2:00 p.m. PT.

Slow news day?

THAT'S RIGHT, Kenny Wheaton you did. You cut back into GREATNESS.
Hey now
We’re about a week away from spring ball!

I heard from a very good source at the Idahoan Potato Convention
That FBSU BBall team had to leave the state because they were wanted to back rent on their moonshine still, cow tipping, and pig wrestling without a permit.
FBSU, where men are men, and sheep are afraid of em.
I joke, I love my Idaho cousins – even if they are married to each other.
(Ok, I think covered just about every stereoptype?)

Very clever
You and your sneaky link are trying to make us all leave ATQ…but I found my way back!

Whenever I see people wearing Oregon apparel it makes me wonder if they’re truly an Oregon fan.

Too often it seems
I give a “Go Ducks” to people in Duck gear and get a weird look back, as if I’m being rude by pointing them out. Living in MT doesn’t help either, since people will bandwagon any team that is currently “in”.

worse
is when you’re a huge Oregon fan sporting Oregon gear and every random person in a store who has the most tangential connection to Oregon asks hey are you from Oregon? When you say yes, they proceed to tell you that their son’s best friends ex-girlfriends parents just moved out there.
I get this question all the time down here when I’m wearing my Oregon stuff. “Hey, you from Oregon?” And then they always seem oddly disappointed when I say “No, I just went to school there.” Like they wanted to be able to say they encountered a real, live Oregonian and now they can’t.

when I first graduated, I would get the, “my niece goes there, her name is Denise, do you know her?”, or some variation of that question … I always hated that question.

Yeah, I got that all the time.
I always wondered/hoped that this was the dumbest question such people ever asked. “Do I know Denise? No. Are you retarded? You do know that there are 20,000+ students that go to school there, don’t you? I have a better chance of being struck by lightning at this very instant than of knowing who your daughter is”……..

It's worse when people just assume you're a bandwagon fan.

I was in the courtyard of the Vatican (yah, it sure does feel cool to say that)
And there was a Euro wearing a Ducks shirt so of course I gave him the obligatory “Go Ducks” and so in return he gave me a face that looked like I’d just whispered in his ear “I’m effing your wife!”

You're a high school kid from Tennessee, aka, "a bandwagon fan".

got 20K lying around?
it’ll give you a nice reservation to a luxe fallout shelter in case of nuclear apocalypse.
Or, you can just light it all on fire and watch it burn. Either way.

Am I the only one who would buy one just to live in normally?
I mean, sure, less than ideal location, but that’s a pretty nice pad regardless. I like that they included a lookout tower. Nothing like watching the poor people’s faces melt off and turn to zombies.
Oh to be rich.
My favorite part:
“I honestly didn’t want to do it, but unfortunately it looks like the worst expectations about the world are starting to come true,” said Yadan, who had been reading about Mayan predictions of a global meltdown in 2012. “With the things happening this week, it’s better to be safe than sorry. And what good is a house if you don’t feel safe?”
I don’t think an underground hotel is going to protect you from the apocalypse, but hey, I guess it can’t hurt, right?
Hey, You're not dressed for an afternoon of Tchaikovsky and heavy petting!
My biggest question – How the hell were those Mayans so damn smart that they predicted a nuclear meltdown centuries before nuclear power was even dreamt of? Shouldn’t they have focused their genius on, I dunno, keeping their civilization from collapsing?

If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.
This is the greatest highlight video in the history of the internet.
And that is not hyperbole.
credit to The Solid Verbal, found through EDSBS. (these links go to the same video, fyi).
And about that greatest ever comment, it’s also never a bad time for his classic.
You guys both need to read the fanshots.

I think it's funny Oregon has a connection to every team left in the CBI
fBSU – Drew Wiley transferred there last year
UCF – Josh Crittle transferred there last year
Creighton – Altman, duh

I belive transfers can’t travel (Moseley mentioned something on his blog about Marcus Davis not being at the NCG due to this rule)
