BEAT WRITER'S NIGHTMARE by ST

I was reading Rob Mosely's piece on Oregon football in today's Guard. The title alluded to the Duck QB situation remaining up in the air. On this show I get enough calls from folks who actually expect a decision as to who will be the quarterback...IN SEPTEMBER. It's April? I feel for Rob, because he must get these unanswerable questions 10-fold. Does anyone pay attention to anything that's ever happened, and I mean ever. Think about this. A year ago, Oregon was off the Holiday Bowl victory led by Jeremiah Masoli. There was really no question as to who would be QB when the season started, yet Chip Kelly remained adamant all positions fell under the "open competition" category. So with Masoli getting bounced for being a thief and 2 basically unproven guys vying during the spring, you really think a rock solid choice is coming now?
We're doing the show live today at Doc's Pad at it's brand new location at 7th & Willamette Street in downtown Eugene. I'll be joined by Justin Meyers. We will be talking lot's of NFL draft with the event debuting in prime time on the East Coast and 4:30 in our world. Should be fun. Hope to see you there.
I read yesterday that Mark Cuban, the Dallas Maverick owner, came out and said he "hates" the Spurs. Really? I've always like Cuban but now will be riding the San Antonio band wagon. How can anyone hate the Spurs? They're probably the most well run, solid character organization we have in North American sports. Cuban's Mavs aspire to be the Spurs. Dallas constantly underachieves and chokes in the playoffs while San Antonio has piled up 4 NBA titles the past 11 seasons. Can't believe Cuban would be that desperate for attention. Pathetic. Go Spurs!
