All of you who think the Glenwood i s overrated are just wrong Brail's is great spot to nurse a hangover, but that's really about it.
- Ted Miller has a preview of the conference teams at the quarterback position. Despite breaking in a brand-new starter, Oregon is listed in the "good shape" category rather than the "we'll see". Though Oregon State is listed in "great shape". Ignoring Chip Kelly's potential wrath, Miller also entertains a hypothetical: if we had a four-team playoff last year and Oregon beats USC, would the Ducks get the nod over Alabama for the fourth seed. Finally, in preparation for 12 BCS-conference presidents meeting in Washington DC today to discuss the football post-season, Miller has prepared a primer on the topic.
- Ken Goe wonders if there can be a repeat of the 800m from the 2008 Olympic Trials where runners with Oregon ties swept the top three spots. Attempting to join 2008's winner Nick Symonds in the feat this year are Oregon Track Club's Tyler Mulder and Oregon junior Elijah Greer.
- A few more honors for the women's track & field team as Jordan Hasay and Anne Kesslring were named to the first-team Academic All-American team by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Brianne Theisen was named to the second team.
- Lots of Oregon-related news from the trial. Cyrus Hostetler made the javelin team while freshman Sam Crouser finished second and was left out. Galen Rupp, who is already headed to London for the 10,000, advanced to the Thursday finals in the 5,000 after finishing second in the prelims.
- In the latest fishduck minute, Josh takes a look at some in-game adjustments that Chip Kelly makes, using the 2010 USC game as an example.
Go Ducks!
