Duck Stud: Morning Mud

• Rob Moseley and Lindsay Schnell have your Tuesday practice update. KVAL furnished the video of Brandon Hanna after practice.

Rob: The Ducks were inside the Moshofsky Center this morning (yesterday) in full pads, and will be again Wednesday morning. Both practices are formatted like Wednesdays during a normal game week, Chip Kelly said, that being one of the heaviest work days of each week.

Lindsay: Chip Kelly informed the media today that he is growing sick of answering the same questions every day after the Ducks wrap up a closed practice, so us reporters changed it up, asking the coach what was on his Christmas wish list. 


His response was classic Kelly: "To end this conversation."

• The Duck football team along with the O Heroes group brought a little Christmas cheer to some underprivleged kids in the community.

On Saturday, the O Heroes group, an organization run by assistant athletic director James Harris that focuses on community service, took 20 underprivileged children from the Bethel School District to Target, handed them a $100 bill and helped them go shopping for their families. The kids also got some gift-giving advice from a handful of Oregon football players who participated in the event, as they paired off to hunt for presents. Kids did the shopping, and players did the cart-pushing.

GO DUCKS!
