What a nail biter!

Ducks just pulled out a close one against U. Miami Ohio, 58-56 final. I look forward to their game against Winthrop on Sunday.

Interesting note: I am a GTF for a class titled Art & Human Values, and who but Freshmen guard Tujuan Porter is in my class. At first I didn't realize he was a b-ball player. The guy tops-in at 5'6; he's about my height. I only realized after a visit from his personal tutor, assigned to him by UO, that I had a high profile athlete in my class. I doubt the kid does any of his own work. He had to give a presentation for class, and was reading off note-cards, when he stumbled on the word contempary, otherwise known as contemporary.

GO DUCKS!

At least he's going to class. About half of our freshmen in Western Civ only drop in when it's convenient!

At UO the tutors check in with profs. to make sure the athlete is going to class. A lot of freshmen need extra motivation to come in; if something is due they'll make the effort.
