Quack Fix: Oregon baseball gets busy, everyone tries to catch up with the Ducks

PrintNot a lot of quack out there, but we'll take anything we can get:
- After a tough start to Pac-10 play, Oregon baseball begins the busiest part of their schedule tonight. A game tonight at Portland kicks off a stretch where they will play 9 games in 10 days. With Oregon just over .500, this stretch could very well define Oregon's season. GoDucks.com has all the info on the Portland game and the USC series this weekend.
- Bob Clark has a note on the basketball JC signing period, and notes that Carlos Emory will "probably" sign with Oregon today. The 6'7 forward has been getting a lot of extra attention recently, so hopefully he gets that signed soon.
- Chip Kelly visited with everyone's favorite talk radio host yesterday. They covered quite a few topics, including the BCS, linebackers, leadership, LSU, and of course, scouting services.
- With WSU and ASU unveiling new uniforms this week, George Schroeder has a column on how everyone is being a bunch of copycats. Oregon's uniforms put them into the public eye, and helped recruiting exposure because of that. I don't know how much moves from other schools will help them in this respect now that they're simply part of the pack. The real question is, what is Oregon going to do to push the envelope next?
- Ken Goe has a profile on Oregon All-American Jamesha Youngblood. While she's known for her prowess in the long jump and triple jump records, she's also gaining recognition in Eugene as a game show host. As a senior project, she organized and hosted "Are you smarter than a fourth grader" at local elementary schools, which pitted Oregon athletes against local 4th graders, which turned into a smashing success.
If you find anything else to share, leave it in the comments. We have a bit more quack after the jump, with football player interview videos, so check that out. GO DUCKS!

Re: pushing the envelope
The real question is, what is Oregon going to do to push the envelope next?
You’re right. Oregon has got to continue pushing the envelope and stay one step ahead of the competition. I’ve got a few ideas for how we can distinguish ourselves from other D-1A schools.
1) Instead of having The Duck ride a motorcycle onto the field, fill the field with a few feet of water and have him ride a shark with a laser beam on its head.
2) Give the players message-board uniforms with remote programming capabilities. Have them match up with whatever the student section is chanting at the time. For example, things could scroll by on the uniforms like:
-the lyrics to Mighty Oregon
-“Hey! Go Ducks! We’re gonna beat the shit out of you”
-“Fuck the Huskies (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)”
Actually, scratch this whole idea; let’s just take our existing unis and write “Fuck the Huskies” on them in sharpie.
3) Install a few randomly-placed trap doors under the opposing sideline. When a player falls down one, they will be sent to a locked chamber with a chair, where they will not be able to leave until they’ve had a double interview with Canzahno and Bach-mann about the abstract meaning of integrity and the appropriation of tuition moneys to athletics in today’s society.
4) Let The Duck carry a gun.
5) To goad our conference rivals, we should hang a huge banner from the side of the stadium to mercilessly mock the conference foe over whom we hold the longest winning streak. Let’s see, who would that be OH HAHAHAHAH IT’S WASHINGTON LOLOLOLOLOLOL*
*Note: It was difficult to find extensive records of the Oregon / Utah and Oregon / CU matchups, so I’m keeping it to the PAC-10. But I kind of doubt that we’ve taken 7 straight off of either of them, which is how many we’ve got on Washington. Longest streak by either team in the history of the series, but no big deal. I mean, it’s been 2,720 days since the Washington Huskies have defeated the Oregon Ducks in football, but, like I said, no big deal.

Any of you read this column reacting to Brian Stow, the Giants fan?
Here in San Francisco people are absolutely furious about this guy’s column. It’s pretty darn reprehensible. It almost (ALMOST) makes me appreciate Canzano for not being as bad as this guy has shown a columnist can be. (But then again the existence of Hitler set the bar high for evil too)

Portland starter Matt McCallister is 0-2 with a 5.93 ERA – before the last game with the Chihuahuas, I might have thought that his ERA might decrease by half, but after the Ducks hung 9 runs on ‘em in Sunday’s game we might see it rise. :)

Quiet the critics - Our uniforms have been a raving success among those whom were targeted... the athletes
Not that we need much more evidence to point to this after that poll last year, but this quote was great from Robinson regarding the new ASU unis…
“If it was about uniforms, I would have gone to Oregon, signed, sealed and delivered,” Robinson said. “They had the best ones at that point in time. It will give us an even playing field in recruiting. Everybody wants to see what’s new. Nobody wants to be characterized as an older tradition.”

Moseley Practice Report
My favorite part:
Hart played a little end today with both Ricky Heimuli and Wade Keliikipi in at tackle and Dion Jordan on the other end, and the offense had very little success running the ball against that group.
I love that d-line set up.

The defense as a whole is looking really good.
Been hearing good things about each part of it from every practice.
Totally Off Topic
Sorry to bring this in here, but I know awhile back there were several people interesting in the Game of Thrones series on HBO.
I have ATT U-Verse and they’re offering a deal right now, even for existing customers, for free HBO and Cinemax for the next three months. As far as I know, the first season of Game of Thrones is only ten episodes which will bring us up to mid-June. So signing up now should give you enough time to watch the whole season.
First episode is this Sunday night. If you don’t have AT&T, check out your cable provider. A lot of times they’ll do these free deals to get you hooked and then hope you keep it after the trial period. As long as you cancel before the trial period is up, you can watch the season free.
This has been a public service announcement from your argumentative neighborhood misspelled Russian dictator.

I think it's going to be great.
Which means HBO is going to cancel it just when it gets good.
I do too
But just from seeing all the trailers, I have to think it’s going to be MASSIVELY expensive. If they don’t make money on this season, there’s no way they keep it going. Of course they could do it cheaply, but that would be a waste, and HBO wouldn’t do that anyway.
I am fairly certain that this season will be great. But if that’s not enough to bring in the bucks, the series won’t last.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Rome was $8 mil an ep
Deadwood was $5 mil per. GoT is $6 mil, so it’s squarely in the cancelled-because-of-costs zone.
P.S. Telling people ways to watch it without subscribing doesn’t work in favor of extending the series :)
Right here is where I say that I fucking loved Deadwood.
Fuck, that was a fucking great fucking series.
"Dispatch yourself with the utmost precision, and proceed as far as your individual excellency will permit." - John McEwan
I've only rewatched it once, and I'll never do it again
Won’t subject myself to watching that last episode knowing that it all ends on a cliffhanger more than twice. I’ve got the Blazers if I’m feeling that masochistic.
I don’t know how the money flows. I am “subscribed” to HBO right now, although I’m not paying anything. I don’t know if that discount is hitting HBO’s bottom line or AT&T’s bottom line. I would guess that HBO is still getting paid and AT&T is taking the hit. So maybe I am contributing. I’m not sure though.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
HBO isn't the problem
The problem is that Martin’s preserved brain-in-a-jar won’t have book 6 finished until 2093, so we’re gonna have a LOOOOONG wait between seasons five and six… if the TV series gets that far.
"I tell you the truth," Canzano answered, "Before Abraham was, I suck."
Yeah I’m feeling the same way. I want to watch it and I think it could be great, but I got really into the series and then discovered that there is no ending. And if the damn book six DOES ever come out I have to go back and read the first five all over again, which takes some time. Then it’ll turn out that book six ends on a cliffhanger and he won’t resolve that until 2137. That Martin guy is acting like a real jerk!
Yeah, he got really involved in a lot of other crap that apparently means a lot to him, but means jack squat to everyone but like four other people. Not that he has any obligation to us, but it felt a lot like he was stalling because he’d painted himself into several plot corners and couldn’t figure out how to get free of them.
We’ll see how it goes. Maybe finishing this next book this summer will open the floodgates and he’ll have the next two done in no time.

I actually just powered through this whole series based on the conversation on AtQ
I think it was initiated by you Gorbachav5, so I appreciate the suggestion. It has been a quite a few years since I really got into an epic fantasy series (after losing most of my teen years in Pern, Shannara and Wheel of Time). I loved the first 3 books, some of the best fantasy I’ve read, but felt the majority of the 4th was really off track and felt like books 5+ in Wheel of Time- too many characters, too many minor plot lines, author either milking the series for bucks or lost his way. The end of the 4th book picked up though, so maybe we’ll get an offering like the first 3 in the 5th book (which is coming out soon I think).
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, it actually got me back into marathon reading sessions which I used to love so much. Having a real job and responsibilities turned me to lazy and easy TV watching in my leisure time, but reading really is so much more fulfilling. That being said, I’ll still order HBO and watch this series ;)
I need to talk the wifey into some HBO
Any suggestions?
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
Especially if you want a divorce.
Anyway, I convinced my wife to watch the show with me, although that didn’t really sell her. But she was excited about all the movies we were getting. Seriously, when you order HBO, you get like 83 channels and almost all of them are showing movies. We don’t have Netflix or anything like that, so this was good for her.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
After a few weeks you begin noticing that all the movies are Sex And The City 2. Seriously, the only reason I keep HBO is for the different series. If it shows a good movie I haven’t seen, I consider it a bonus.
I watched A Mighty Wind on HBO last night, which I’d never seen. Now that we have kids, we never get to the movies, and we haven’t decided to spring for Netflix yet, so HBO is a treasure trove for us right now.
But you’re right that the movies won’t keep us around once our free trial is up. If there’s another series that seems worth watching, then maybe. But otherwise, we’ll cancel and look elsewhere for entertainment.

@prehmmr Dont watch much soccer but this is an awesone idea RT @KMTR Could Eugene welcome a pro soccer team? http://bit.ly/e1lW5K
Key notes from the link:
The idea includes indoor and outdoor athletic space, a restaurant and more. Also, according to city council member Alan Zelenka, Eugene would have its first indoor field house.
Tim Hult, president of the United States Soccer League, also called in. He said that successful teams in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland all went through the same process…according to Hult, Eugene is an ideal market for a team. He urged Eugene city council to take their time deciding what is best for the area and added they are willing to work with the city to establish a team by 2014, although it would be possible to have a team in the works by 2012.
