Anyone going to PGE park this weekend to see this civil war battle? Beavers took the first game in Eugene 7-1 on friday the first time in 28 years that these two teams met.
i'm going but only because i was given a free ticket, and i hope the beavers crush the ducks once again. but i'll be leaving around 7 to head to the marathon for the blazer game.
If its raining still up to 15 min before gates open (which is 4:30 pm) the ballpark will have suspend the game til tomorrow. If it rains during the game there is a minimum 45 min - 1 hour rain delay and then they resume the game again.
USC just gave the Ducks a wake up call for the Pac-10 league. It could be possible that the ducks could be a .500 next season, but the pac-10 will be still tough for them, until they start getting good quality wins for recruits.
Anyone have the link or info on how long the Ducks were in a "club" status in baseball ? They had a lot of CC transfers for this 08-09 season. I sure hope the freshman will benefit from experience to help out the team for next year. Its amazing that the Beavers are already 20-7 right now with a 7-2 Pac-10 record. I have a feeling that they are a little better than the 2008 squad but can they equal what the 2007 squad did with more guts?
I don't suspect the Ducks to be successful for a few years. How could anyone expect them to start a program from scratch and then compete with a program that has won national championships?
What amazes me is that UO dumped a lot of money into their new baseball stadium (trying to find the $$ figure). Did the club status really get them enough boosters? Interesting article on UO spending so much on baseball and basketball back in 2007. http://www.eugeneweekly.com/2007/07/19/news3.html When the Beavers won their title back in 2006, they did moderation improvements to Goss, not drastic. In 2007 they won again and improved their ballpark again. Looks like OSU is more conservative on their budget since they don't have Mr. Knight shelving out the big bucks. UO's talent pool is weaker compared to other Pac-10 teams and other colleges that the Ducks have played in their schedule. Was the expectations of the Ducks roster presumed to be this high? Current Pac -10 Standings. 2. Beavers 7-2 Conference, 22 - 7 overall 8. Ducks 2 -7 Conference, 12 - 21 overall.
That is an odd question. In the United State, it is referring to an animal that is a primarily nocturnal, semi-aquatic species of rodent. They are known for building dams, canals, and lodges (homes). Is that true in your homeland?
