Quack Fix: Ducks sweep the Beavs, Track and Field ready for NCAA championships

by jtlight on May 30, 2011 9:49 AM PDT in Morning Quack Fix

Happy Memorial Day everyone. I hope that you're having a better weekend than JR Hildebrand and Jim Tressel. It's been a pretty eventful weekend, so let's get to the quack.

Oregon baseball swept the Beavers over the weekend. It was a great series for the Ducks, and Kris has been on top of things all weekend. We should know about the Ducks' slim postseason hopes soon. Let's just leave it with this. Oregon has only lost to Oregon State twice this school year. A women's basketball game, and a soccer game. The Ducks have won every other matchup.
The Oregon women's track and field team qualified 13 individuals and two relay teams for the NCAA Track and Field championships. Though they had a few injury problems, the 3rd ranked Ducks look to compete for another title. The Oregon men will send 11 to the championships, but are likely not going to be in play for a championship. But they already achieved and brought home a Pac-10 title. Ken Goe has had great track coverage all year, so check out his run-down for more info on the Ducks.
Oregon freshman linebacker Tyson Coleman had a good weekend, until he ran into the police, and then he made some very bad decisions. He was stopped after carrying an unopened can of Four Loko, then proceeded to throw the can and run from the police after he couldn't produce identification. While this wasn't the smartest move by Coleman, it's tough to get too worked up about this. Chip Kelly is "deeply concerned," but I don't imagine will see anything more than internal punishment.
It wasn't the best weekend for Oregon softball. In their Super Regional against Florida, the Ducks got mercy-ruled on Friday, and then lost 7-0 on Saturday to end their season.

If you find any other quack, leave it below. Have a great day, and make sure to think about those who have given everything to preserve our freedom.

So I was thinking that this year will be interesting in terms of the BCS.

First we played Pryor and Tressel (too clean looking to be clean) then we played Newton in the Fiesta (the newly fined Fiesta) so by my reckoning we are due for the new BCS Vegas Mafia bowl, playing the recently fired Kiffin and his new for-profit University of Southern Bahamas.

Sadly we will lose this game as they somehow land Drew Brees through a small loophole which the NCAA said they are powerless to do anything about.

Bye Bye Sweatervest

Whenever I saw Ohio State I had the feeling that they really wanted us to believe they were just good ‘ol mid-west boys, but I had the sense that underneath it all they were as dirty as the ugliest SEC team. It’s a good day for everyone in college football when a statement is made that cheating will not be tolerated (if you get caught 3 or 4 times and lie about it a few more and then run away to stop the investigation before the really bad stuff comes to the surface.)

If the biggest problem we have is some kid drinking kiddy booze I can live with that.

The sweep was definitely sweet

We finally got our pitching, hitting and fielding on the same page . . . took most of the season to get there, but at least we went out as winners.

How did the beavs get so lucky? A regional with Arkansas-Little Rock with a horrible record, Georgia at one game over .500, and Creighton. The baseball gods must have felt sorry for them as they limp into the playoffs on a five-game losing streak. If they can’t win with the weakest regional in the tournament . . . wow!

Kenjon Barner got mentioned over at MTD somewhere in the 40s I believe for offensive players, they said that he would likely return for the 2012 season which I agree but I’m trying to think of a way that he wouldn’t(not saying I don’t want him too) besides us winning The Natty this year. Do you guys think that’s the only way?

by The Legend on May 30, 2011 12:40 PM PDT reply actions

It depends on how this year goes

but I think Kenjon comes back for 2012 because with LaMike gone, it would be his chance to be our #1 back. I know we need to see how Seastrunk plays out in 2011 – but considering the very high esteem in which CK holds Kenjon, I think it’s very likely he’d be our #1 back in 2012. It’s his shot at being THE guy and will give him his best shot at the NFL, so I don’t see him leaving after 2011.

Absurdity is my favorite.

Exactly.

Kenjon wouldn’t leave me after this season. Right? RIGHT!!????

Great call Famous....I think that is a perfect application of what's going on.

I think that the only way he leaves is if we have one of those years where we have 2 thousand yard backs and Kenjon takes a couple punts or kickoffs to the house and we win some sort of BCS game.

I'm okay with a year like that.

They can both leave if we get a shiny Bull Crap Series trophy.

they can even take DT and Cash with them too if we get it from the Bayou.

Exactly.

Kenjon would GREATLY improve draft stock with a season being the numero uno back. It would be nuts to se him leave after this season.

I would love to see both backs average 7 ypc (or something crazy like they both averaged in 2008)

Pull this string as I walk away
Watch me unravel now I’ll soon be naked
