Is a RB/LB at my high school, South Eugene. He is a great athlete and a wonderful kid. He's being recruited by a few Pacific Northwest teams, but it looks like we're frontrunners. He shouldn't be passed up by our coaching staff.

To me, it's a waste that he's being recruited as a LB, he's got so much to give as a runner. 

Here is an article, coupled with a few youtube vids of his talent. My favorite is the first, showing his hops.

And here is his scouts profile. As you can see he is a hot prospect featured in many Oregon-recruiting articles. 

He's also got a great Frantz Dorsainvil-esque story.

Enjoy. Hope to see you aboard next year, Bo.

I dont know why I haven't mentioned this before, but I work for a Steiner Sports in NY which is a sports marketing company which is also one of the largest sports memorabilia companies in the US.  We have exclusive contracts with the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox & Notre Dame to name a few, which allow us to all the game used memorabilia, everything from game used balls to champagne bottles from the locker room celebrations.  We are also exclusive with over 60 athletes, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Tony Hawk, Carmelo Anthony & Paul Pierce to name a few....

Anyways, my company has memorabilia signed from every team present and past.  I work in the charity division but also do retail sales as well.  If you are anyone else is looking for any type of memorabilia or gifts, feel free to browse the site (it's pretty self explanatory, either browse by sport, team, player, or use the search bar.)  I can get you the item and have it shipped out to you for way less than what the retail price listed, usually somewhere around the wholesale cost.

If interested feel free to contact me on here with any questions or you can email me at work.

Unfortunately the only Oregon related items we have are Kellen Clemens, Dan Fouts, & Ocho Cinco from the Beavs.  Click the link below to go to the site

They also were taunting him......  I hope we kill the Wildcats next year!!!!! let me remind you of what happend.

Stanford- enough said but dont sleep on them cuz look what happend to usc.

Arizona- another revenge game. Just show the players the youtube video and they will be fired up

zona has great b-ball fans but no class when it comes to football...... i guess when you dont win you cheer for players on the other team to get hurt.

GO DUCKS!!!!!!!

 

Pro Football Reference has him topping the list of the worst QBs of all time.

In his defense, he has been below average for a long time, making sure that he's been at the top of the all-time list, due to the number of attempts he has had (over 2500). There are many QBs with worse rating/attempt ratios.

Though I know a lot of us had high hopes for Joey, and he was never placed in even a mediocre situation, it's too bad that he will remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Hey everyone. I was just wanting to get a feel for how Duck fans really feel about the uniforms. I've been thinking about it recently and I can't help but wonder if it's worth it considering all the crap we take from the rest of the nation about them.

I'm not insinuating that we have the power to change them if we want, I just don't really know where everyone comes out on this topic. All I ever hear from the local and national media is how lame we are because of them.

Anyone want to share their thoughts???

Wazzu is incredibly screwed this year.  Not only are they losing scholarships cause of the APR, but they have had 25 arrests in 18 months, for some outlandish resasons.  How are they not at the top of the Fulmer Cup?

Anyway, the Seattle Times did an article on the situation.  Here's the money quote.

Like all WSU coaches before, [Wulfe] must sell recruits on the merits of isolated Pullman — population 27,030. He must counter the take of Courtney Williams, an ex-defensive back from Los Angeles who left with academic problems.

"WSU is a hard school to go to, man," Williams says. "You ain't got nothin' to do but get drunk and smoke weed, and not go to class because you're too tired from doing what you're doing."

Good luck coach.  How Wazzu has had any successful years in the past is a miracle in and of itself.

when does fall camp start? I cant wait to hear about the QB battle.  I think we well have a good season.  Chip kelly turned dennis dixon from a below average QB into a heismen trophy canidate. We also dont really have to worry about a running back problem cuz we have Blount and J.J. who has a great stiff arm here let me remind you.......

I have hated reading about the ducks so far cuz they all say how well the ducks respond without Dennis Dixon and J. Stew.  Well we get JJ back plus Blount. so i think well be just fine. We also have Nate Costa who has great legs and a arm to.  We also have Justin Roper who had 4 td passes in the sun bowl and he only had about 1 month just image Nate or Justin or Chris or Darron when Chip has had the hole off season.

 

GO DUCKS!!!

It's not official yet, but I heard from a trusted source that the UOAA is arranging for a charter bus for the Purdue game. Pickup and dropoff will be in Chicago at Witt's Bar & Grill. The price is to be determined, but it will be a package deal that includes a game ticket in the Oregon section along with the bus ride. I don't know any other details, like "will it be UOAA members only" or "can I ride the bus if I already have a game ticket". (I'm guessing "yes" and "no" respectively.) I'll post more information when it becomes available.

We talked about this a long, long time ago, but I was very excited about it so I thought I'd revive it. Some latesummer Saturday, or even in the fall during road games, it'd be nice if we could have a get-together somewhere. The obvious location would be Eugene, but as we know, there's a VERY wide array of places where we live/ blog from/ do whatever we do. So that's the biggest obstacle.

Is there anyone blogging from Eugene (myself) or Portland (Dave and co.) that thinks they could make it some weekend? I would be perfectly content driving up to Portland for a weekend to play some football with some of you guys. Sadly, Jared's a midwest guy, so that's one big down. I know there are others here who have this same problem too.

Who would like to sometime? Moreover, who thinks they could possibly make one, just to meet up, maybe play some football, talk football, talk to some of the guys who you only know on ATQ? No creepers please. (BYOB?) I could bring the football. The details can be hammered out late if we cross the initial preliminary proposition state.

Just something to think about...

Here is the wrestling article I posted a few days back.  I accidentally posted over it, but some have requested that I put it back up so it could be linked to.  Here goes:

 

The Oregon wrestling community is suing the UO <http://www.ducksportsnews.com/blog/2008/06/oregon-wrestlers-suing-frohnmayer/> for alleged illegalities in dropping the wrestling team. I say bravo for the wrestlers.

I know that I haven't always been kind to the wrestling cause on this site, but when athletic department officials acknowledged that Oregon did not need to drop wrestling to be in complance with Title IX, that did it for me. If there are no Title IX issues, why are we dropping the sport? If we can have both baseball AND wrestling, then what't the issue?

The Cas Center may claim lack of facilites or lack of support in their decision, but I don't buy that. Wrestling attendance is certainly no worse than volleyball. And as for facilities, couldn't they just host matches in the volleyball gym that's going to be part of the new arena? And something tells me that they don't really care where they put down their practice mats. You could put 'em in the basement gym of Gerlinger Annex and I'd bet that they'd be happy just to wrestle.

As more information comes out on this, the more rotten it smells. It seems like its becoming personal, and that's never a good situation (see the Sonics for an example of that).

So here's to you wrestlers. Everyone shunned you, and you've continued to fight. You may just win this thing yet.
