Take a Minute is a daily post that will catch you up on Internet happenings on campus and around the world.
I didn’t watch much of the Masters this past weekend, choosing to tune out at roughly the same time Tiger Woods started kicking clubs:
That loveliness aside, the highlight of the weekend had to be the epic high five fail by Louis Oosthuizen and his caddy. In his defense, he’d just drilled an absurd double eagle on the second hole to grab hold of the overall lead. Nailing the high five was the least of his concerns at that moment, but it still makes for a fantastic gif that will live on forever. You may have fallen short at the end, Louis, but you’ll always have this to remember:
And this:
Alright, enough golf. As you’ve probably heard (many, many times), the media is barred from Oregon football spring practices. That didn’t stop The Register-Guard’s Rob Moseley from picking up this tidbit about everyone’s favorite quarterback controversy:
A take I heard, from somebody who has seen some of practice this month: Bennett is “clearly the starter right now.” For what that’s worth.

No big surprise there. De’Anthony Thomas, meanwhile, has one thing that’s absolutely not on his mind this spring. As always, you should read this like he’s screaming at you:

Elsewhere, baseball season is not even a week old, and we’ve already had plenty of fireworks. Ozzie Guillen took his talents to a new city (same as LeBron’s, matter of fact), but he’s still up to the same old shenanigans; namely, sticking his foot in his mouth. Personally, I don’t really see what the big deal is, but I’m also not Cuban and have never lived under a dictatorship. So, don’t ask me.
Down south, Texas is cruising along with a 3-1 start, and this guy is really excited about catching a Josh Hamilton home run:
Cool dance, man, but don’t be offended if Orel Hershiser and Terry Francona missed it. They were pretty busy with their ten foot long hot dogs:
The Red Sox and Yankees, meanwhile, each suffered 0-3 starts over this past weekend. As you can imagine, this went over really well in New York and Boston. Bobby Valentine’s face pretty much sums it up:
Sad times, indeed. Over in Miami, D-Wade and LeBron can only shake their heads:

Everything about this is just wonderful: Paul Westhead’s tie, Diana Taurasi’s face, that random lady on the right looking totally confused, and, of course, the work of art that is the WNBA championship trophy. (Photo courtesy of Sports Illustrated).

Guys, Hedo Turkoglu doesn’t ask for much. When he’s on the court, life is simple.
Ball.
