Almost every player still dancing in the NCAA tournament has strong opinions on music. But perhaps only one player's opinions have any professional consequences. Charlie Noebel, a senior walk-on guard who averages 2.2 minutes per game for the Oregon Ducks, moonlights on Tuesdays from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. as DJ UpChuck on KWVA 88.1 FM.
After a friend started a show on the same station, Noebel decided to apply and got the graveyard gig. Although the hours are tough, he says the show doesn't interfere with his basketball responsibilities—and Oregon coach Dana Altman has no issue with his extracurricular activity.
