Quack Fix: Projecting the Pac-10 Track & Field Championships and Men's golf team heads to NCAA Regionals

by ntrebon on May 10, 2011 6:20 AM PDT in Morning Quack Fix

Football quack is getting harder and harder to find. Thankfully, here at ATQ, we like to supply quack in all shapes and sizes. Enjoy.

Ted Miller is wrapping up his spring football coverage. First, he runs down five things we learned over the course of the spring. Second, he posts his post-spring power rankings. And, finally, he has spring superlatives -- a collection of "best-of" moments from throughout the conference.
Aaron Fentress talks to former Beaver James Dockery and former Duck Brandon Bair about how they are dealing with the NFL lockout and their inability to sign free agent contracts. It sounds like Dockery, Bair and Jeff Maehl are all using the extra time to work out and improve their chances of sticking with an NFL team.
Ron Bellamy has a preview of "Distance Night in Eugene," which will mark the start of the this year's Prefontaine Classic. Meet director Tom Jordan is already claiming that the talent on hand to compete ( particularly in the 10,000 meter) will be "the best fields ever on American soil, including the Olympic Games."
Curtis Anderson takes a look at how the men and women's teams are projected to perform in the Pac-10 Track & Field Championships later this week. The women are projected to win a third-straight title by a fairly comfortable margin while the men are projected third in a much tighter race.
The 20th-ranked men's golf team has earned a four-seed in the NCAA Regional to be held in Florida later this month. The team just missed claiming their first Pac-10 title by rallying late to force a tie with USC before losing the first playoff hole.

I read that the offer was given and accepted...

so take that for what it’s worth. These kids are verbally committed anyway until LOI day.

The article states that they have received offers, but the commitment won’t be accepted until they visit.

It's confirmed on the recruiting sites...

apparently their were coaches from other schools waiting when they came into hug their high school coach to say “we’re going to be Ducks.” I know fBSU was going to offer, so that would’ve been sweet to see an fBSU recruiter get snubbed like that. The good news is they were in Portland for the Nike Tournament and the allegedly have family here in the NW. Good pick up.

So, 95.5 TheGame has dumped Jim Rome

and thus removed the last reason I ever listened to that station during the off-season.

It’s going to be a long summer.

Yeah it was wierd yesterday, I was driving around a little after 9am and noticed that Chad Doing was still on the radio

He did not sound happy. Four hours of sports talk in a market like Portland is almost impossible.

Brian Berger from Sports Business Radio is taking the 10-12 slot.

So basically it’s 4 hrs of Timber talk all summer unless someone on the Blazers-ducks-beavers get in trouble?

At least there isn’t more Dwight Jaynes.

I can tolerate Chad Doing. He doesn’t claim to be an expert or even smart, and flat out says he’s paid to ramble about sports. So – yeah, he says stupid things, but it’s easier to push aside because his ego doesn’t get in the way.

I think he’s missing a golden comic opportunity here.

Don't get too excited

he’s working for Fox and not the Pac 12 Network. Fox also owns the B1G Network and there’s a pretty good chance he’ll be doing a number of their games considering he’s a East Coast guy. I’d expect him for the big Pac 12 games on Fox, but not very often.

Olu Ashaolu, a 6-foot-7 forward who is transferring from Louisiana Tech, will be in Eugene on a visit this weekend.

“No final decision yet,‘’ Ashaolu said. "But I’ll be in town this weekend.’’

He is also a close friend and former AAU teammate of another transfer to Oregon, guard Devoe Joseph.

any chance this doesnt happen? our front won’t look too terrible next year i suspect.
