Quack Fix: Kiko Alonso to be sentenced today, basketball faces APR hit
We made you wait a day, so let's get right to the quack:
- We'll know a bit more about Kiko Alonso's situation this morning, as he is changing his plea and will be sentenced. Once this happens, it will be interesting to see how Kelly responds.
- Oregon basketball will have some adversity in the coming seasons as Oregon faces declining academic progress due to players leaving Oregon. Though the exact results are not yet known, it becomes even more important for Altman to stress academics to his players, as further attrition could lead to loss of scholarships.
- Another weekend, another vital series for the Oregon baseball team. Oregon hosts UCLA at PK Park this weekend. Should be a good matchup, and Kris will have a full series preview later this morning. The Register Guard gets ready for the weekend with a look at Madison Boer, who has been spectacular this season, even if he hasn't had the run support to garner national attention.
- Oregon track is hosting their annual twilight meet tonight. The event will showcase the Oregon team, as well as some top-ranked Americans. And for you football fans, LaMichael James, Dior Mathis and Kenjon Barner will be running the 100.
- George Schroeder has the story of the beginning of the Twilight meet, which started in 1966, and as the Bob Woodell Invitational. Woodell was a long jumper and Oregon senior who had been paralyzed from the waist down a month earlier. The event took on a life of its own and become a huge success.
- Unfortunately, there is some bad news for the track team. Oregon star Brianna Theisen will miss the Pac-10 heptathlon due to a bad back. Unfortunately, this injury puts a serious damper on Oregon's national title hopes.

No problem. Neon Dion Mathis. I figured there was an explanation like that or I wouldn't have...

Once again, thanks for all you do around this site.
Anyone seem to think that our players who get in trouble don’t have an option other than to take a plea bargain (in an attempt to eliminate any continued negative PR) for a reduced sentence, rather than taking the case to court?
I’m not suggesting this case should go to court, it just seems like all our players take the plea and deal with it (and it would make sense that the school does NOT want any sort of exposure that a court case would bring about).

I don’t think the plea bargaining thing is unique to our athletes. It’s pretty standard operating procedure.

Has anybody noticed when somebody calls Casey Matthews overrated the first thing they point out is “because of his last name”? When they say that it makes me think they’re being lazy & comparing him to Clay when they are two different players.

For some reason,
I think Kiko isn’t completely kicked off the team.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Because it hasn’t happened already, that is my thought as well. This doesn’t seem like a real complicated story. We know what happened, we just don’t know how. I have to believe that Chip Kelly already knows how Alonso got in that situation.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
one twist that could occur
is if Kiko has agreed to enter a substance abuse program or the like. That could change the sentence to suspended and also the how he’s viewed by coach and school. I’d be surprised if he did not get some kind of diversion after the DUII, but this could be a stop at Serenity Lane (if that still exists) or the like.
I say this having wandered into the wrong apartments many times in Eugene (nobody locked their doors in the 80’s!), and sometimes not apartments, most notably when I walked into the kitchen Poppi’s Greek Taverna, curled up on the prep table and passed out. I learned about this after the fact from a Lane County Deputy Sheriff

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
RT @KVALnews: Suspended Duck Kiko Alonso pleads guilty to criminal mischief, criminal trespass, gets 2 yrs probation, 200 hrs com. service.
I'm really interested in reading the Police Report
It’d be nice to know the whole story, but hopefully this kid gets some help and learns to avoid booze.
Per his probation agreement he can't consume or possess alcohol during the duration
So in addition to submitting regular drug/alcohol tests for alcohol rehabilitation he might have an in-house monitoring station as well.
That is really interesting. Does that affect his place on the team?
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Not necessarily...As long as he is present in Eugene on the day of his alcohol treatment classes that's all they need
Because he already had a DUI, he’s probably going to get an extended treatment program. For Oregon, Diversion rehabilitation last 4 months for the first DUI, but since he had another public incident I am willing to guess that his classes will last a full year.
I more meant, does the rules of his probation mean that Kelly will be more likely to allow him to be part of the team?
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I would think so.....the kid can't drink Alcohol which has been the catalyst for all his incidents
I think he gets suspended 6 games.
That's pretty typical
Its a negotiating ploy by the prosecutor. You offer to reduce the charge if someone pleads guilty (which happens a lot more often than most realize).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
And in this case, he was pretty guilty of those two things. Like I said, seems fair.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Seriously...
Its just too bad that we need their legal input every offseason! :(
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
They didn't overcharge him.
They charged him with the crimes that he committed. If you think the law is too harsh, that’s an issue to be taken up with the legislature. But his actions (as far as we know from what the media has reported) did include burgling a dwelling, which is a felony.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
Considering what he just plead to, he didn’t commit burglary.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
How do you figure?
He agreed to plea to the lesser charges in exchange for the felonly being dropped. It happens all the time, but it doesn’t mean he wasn’t guilty of the more serious crime.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
By the same logic, just because a charge was dropped didn’t mean he committed it.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
While this is true, that also doesn’t mean he was guilty of the more serious crime. Prosecutors do make plea bargains to reduce their trial load and in the interests of judicial economy. Sometimes this means that the defendant, who was guilty of a more serious crime, gets a substantial benefit. But sometimes the prosecutor will feel free to make a plea bargain to a lesser offense than what is charged due to evidentiary problems, including problems to the degree that the defendant did not commit the top charge – that is not uncommon.
Burglary in this case...
would have been a huge burden to substantiate. Not worth the time for the prosecution…next subject.

Not too much of a surprise,
From my very limited understanding of legal happenings, getting a plea bargain like this seems typical.
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
More than 90% of criminal cases are plea bargained
Trials are a lot more rare than people think. Both sides would rather plead out in most cases, its cheaper and most cases are simple like this.

If we were in the original key of F natural we’d only have to flat B, as opposed to sharping everything except B! I suppose it could be worse, if the piece resolved to a secondary dominant we’d be shifting into modes of limited transposition. While technically a tri-tone substitution in a standard dominant blues would count as moving into that realm, since the extensions are still diatonic you’re really just augmenting the IV as opposed to shifting into a full diminished mode.
For our next lesson we’ll be covering the whole tone scale. Please refer to The Simpsons Theme Song.

Bieber fan apparently confused about how to measure success on Feldman's chat today
what is your take on the beavers this year? im so over hearing about the ducks…they start getting better goto the rose bowl and lose then goto the championship and lose..are the beavers gonna start making some noise this season
"I tell you the truth," Canzano answered, "Before Abraham was, I suck."
If by "noise" he means "a .500" season, then probably
I’m not sure though…I don’t think the beavs offense will be able to handle a lot of Pac 12 defenses without a decent running game.

Maybe he means noise literally. I think the Beavers are capable of a loud fart. It might stain the underpants a little, but it will certainly be noisy.

I would also assume that farm animals, when being abducted, tend to make loud noises
So that could also be what our friendly Bieber Believer was referring to.

abducted?
by aliens?

How badass would it be if the Ducks wore these in 2017?

Am I the only one who just laughs when USC fans start making threats about going independent?
I just find it funny, especially considering the current condition of their football program. I really would like to see them try to pull that on Larry Scott. Pretty sure Pat Haden would get the closest thing possible to the Chip Kelly stare.
USC would NEVER get a better deal than what we are all about to get by going independent.
I am not entirely sure if this is true or not, but I would imagine that their fanbase is not large enough or spread out enough to sustain going independent (a la BYU or Notre Dame who have large and widespread fanbases).
Their fanbase in SoCal has magically disappeared to a certain extent in the past few seasons…Maybe they have moved to other parts of the country or something! /sarcasm

You point out the most important fact. They have fair weather fans.
And they haven’t even begun to see the worst of this. Many of you have a much better understanding than I do about how their scholarship limitations will play out over the next couple seasons, but from my understanding they are gonna be in trouble in about 4 seasons.

Will be interesting to read....I really can't take USC fans seriously when they bring up this point
Bottom line their main revenue producer is going to have some real problems once the sanctions actually take effect and and the impact will last a couple years more.
and the UCLA fans are worse
at least USC has a revenue producer

Oregon not even listed as a school of interest.
So now CK just says “wanna play here?” and kids say “where do I sign?”
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.

He has got good speed for a tall lanky guy like him.
It is interesting that he seems to play an h-back type of position sometimes in high school in addition to TE. Solid pickup I guess. I would assume that he is being recruited for the Lyerla TE/H Back position.
