Ducks fly high!

I’m sure that many of you immediately thought that the title of this post was somehow in reference to the legalization of marijuana. You people are so wrong. I live in Oregon. It was Washington that legalized marijuana. Granted Washington is only 13 miles from my house, but I am still required to fly under the radar. Get your ducks in a row before you jump to inappropriate conclusions.

I am in reference to the University of Oregon’s Men’s Basketball team, which is 6-0 in Pac-12 conference play. The last time Oregon was 6-0 in conference play, the Ducks were the Webfoots, it was the Pacific Coast Conference and Calvin Coolidge was president. The year was 1926. This may give some insight as to why the terms “University of Oregon” and “powerhouse in men’s college basketball” are seldom used in the same sentence.

Yes, UO has had some success in basketball. They were the 1939 NCAA champions and they have had a couple of other moderately good runs in the tournament. Maybe, just maybe, this is the Year of the Ducks!

QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!
