At the Hatfield-Dowlin Center Monday most of the staff is wrapping up recruiting and practice-planning work before taking a break for the Dead Period before the start of team meetings and practice in late July.
A new video from goducks.com depicts one vital member of the program slacking off in his office, however. The Oregon Duck is busy on his Road to Glory.
A'lique Terry knocks on his door. "Hey Duck. You working hard in here?"
A mascot of few words but elaborate gestures, The Duck assures him that he is.
"Yeah Coach. Just watching game film."
"That's what I'm talking about." Terry nods in approval.
Left alone, The Duck goes back to his controller. Not surprisingly, the Autzen Stadium entrance is his favorite part.

Always play responsibly, Duck. It's a long season and there's a lot of pushups to prepare for.
