Quack Fix: Here Comes Another True Frosh; The Battle Is On For Back-up Carries.

There's a fog hanging over Eugene, and I'm not talking about the weather. Let's hope the team is shaking that performance at Stanford faster than local Duck fans are. It's time to move on, take a strong shot of "we're still 7-2 and in first place", pound our chests a little and get our Ooooo faces on for ASU. Here's a little Quack to help you through your day:
- Let's start with the fun stuff... Oregon will be facing a true freshman making his first start when the Sun Devils visit Autzen Saturday. Some pre-game notes from Jeff Metcalfe of the Arizona Republic.
- Rob Moseley's weekly review of national bowl predictions still paints a rosey picture for the Ducks. Ohio State appears to be the opponent du jour, as Iowa's conference title hopes seem to have gone the way of the 2007 Ducks.
- Freshman O-lineman Carson York has the right attitude. His latest diary entry is up at OregonLive. My favorite quote: "We can promise, however, that there will be no fall off, that we will not allow last week's defeat to allow us an excuse to falter."
- Maybe York needs to give kicker Tim Taylor a hug. The R-G's George Schroeder found the walk-in kicker practicing his onside kick technique over, and over, and over Wednesday. Taylor admits his effort at the end of the Stanford game was "Probably the worst onside kick I've ever had."
- Jeff Smith of The Oregonian writes that the competition for back-up carries behind LaMichael James is heating up with LGB back in the mix.
- Ted Miller's weekly picks are in. He likes the Ducks big. More interesting is his pick of Stanford over USC. That result would mean the end of USC's title streak and put the Trojans squarely in line for a fairly middling bowl game. Wouldn't that be something.
- If you're still in need of a smile, check out this graph-oriented post at EDSBS.com, which deftly explains how the coaches poll really works. Good stuff.
Two days til gameday. Go Ducks!

So which Pac 10 teams do I need to root for this weekend?
by eedgaar on Nov 12, 2009 8:11 AM PST reply actions 0 recs
Stanford vs USC
I think I’m probably going to be rooting for USC in this one. If Oregon and Arizona lose another game, Stanford would win the tie-breaker between them and the Ducks. USC is their best chance for a loss since Best is likely out for the season (And Cal is their only other Pac-10 game)
Arizona vs California
I was thinking it would be fun to have a big match with Oregon and Arizona – but then I remembered Bob Stoops. Go Golden Bears!
Oregon vs State vs Washington
Easy one to pick for me. Go Beavs!
UCLA vs Washington State
I’m rooting for UCLA. They are two games away from being bowl eligible, which would give the Pac-10 seven bowl eligible teams. I’m hoping this game and Arizona State are those two wins.
And… Oregon vs Arizona State…
Umm… Oregon.

Yes
Arizona this year reminds me of ASU in 2007, a team that is pumped up despite having beaten no one. They’ve lost twice this year and if you exclude the fluky loss at Washington, they got destroyed AT Iowa. Now Iowa is a good team but it is worth noting that it is one of the few games this year Iowa won going away.
I think they’ll fold when they face good teams.

I’m torn on USC/Stanford. On one hand, I want USC to go down. On another, I would like to see Stanford totally collapse and give us the best shot at any tiebreaker.

Yeah. That’s the one I’m most torn over too. But with how the pollsters are voting for USC, they have a distant, but not impossible chance to squeeze in for another BCS game, which is full of win.

Oregon vs State vs Washington
Easy one to pick for me. Go Beavs!
I usually root for the Beavs in all games but the Civil War (although I usually delight in a loss regardless) but with the Rose Bowl on the line, a loss by OS would help allow the Ducks to lose another game and still make the Rose Bowl. So, with the Rose Bowl potentially at stake, I’m pulling for UW this time. Sorry Beavs.
by echo31 on Nov 12, 2009 9:54 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I can’t “pull for UW”. Besides, if Oregon can’t make it to the Rose Bowl, I’d like OSU to make it (Though I’m sure some OSU fans could make my opinion on that different.)
Having the Civil War be the game that decides the conference champion would be a huge draw for national attention. Though, that would only be applicable if Oregon loses another game. It is possible that the civil war could mean everything to both teams, or nothing aside from state bragging rights.

Having the Civil War be the game that decides the conference champion would be a huge draw for national attention. Though, that would only be applicable if Oregon loses another game.
It would be applicable if we lose the Civil War after beating ASU and UA. The Beavs only have 2 conference losses and they play UW and WSU before the Civil War. WSU won’t beat the Beavs, so it’s up to UW to put OS at 3 conference losses before the Civil War. I would hate to see Ducks fans on TV during the Civil War, holding roses and signs about going to the Rose Bowl only to lose to an OS team with 2 conference losses giving them the tiebreaker over us and keeping us out of the Rose Bowl. We did that to them last year and it was hilarious. I don’t want to be on the other side of that joke this year.
Go Huskies!

Yeah, screw that. Let the Rodents stomp all over the Huskies. We’ll take care of little brother and his stupid little tie-breaker hopes on our own terms.
In my dreams, the start of the Oregon/ASU game goes something like this. ASU receives the opening kick. The offense takes the field but is called for a delay of game before getting the first play off. Something seems to be wrong with QB Brock Osweiler. Bewildered, Coach Erickson summons his center..."Garth, what the hell is going on?" "I don't know coach," Garth replies. "Brock came out of the huddle okay, but he couldn't stop staring into the Oregon student section. His eyes looked kinda weird. I think he pissed himself."

how can you ever root for UW?
I don’t mind OSU doing well. I’d root for them except when either a) they play the real Oregon School or b) I picked against them in the jersey contest.
I’ll root for the Huskies when either a) hell freezes over or b) pigs fly out of Rick Neuheisel’s ass and run a fake punt

I was actually conflicted during the UDub/Notre Dame game, and their LSU game (When it looked close in the first half). Honestly. I didn’t know who to root for. The LSU game was for pac-10 pride, and the Irish game was because – I hate Notre Dame more and more each day.

Here's who I'll be rooting for
Oregon v. ASU: Clearly Oregon.
UCLA v. WSU I’d really like to see WSU pick up another game. I’ve got a few good friends who are Cougar fans, and I’m tired of them being sad. But that said, it’s better for the conference if we get a seventh bowl-eligible team. I’ll hope that WSU instead gets their second win at the Crapple Cup and root for UCLA here.
Arizona v. Cal Gotta be Cal. Even though I don’t think it stands a realistic shot of happening, Arizona dropping another game gives us breathing room.
Stanford v. USC I don’t really like doing it, but I’ve got to root for USC here. If we lose to Arizona and Arizona loses to USC (which could certainly happen), then Stanford and Oregon State become the frontrunners. It would help tremendously if Stanford wasn’t in that elite 2-loss class.
Oregon State v. UW I’m throwing up in my mouth as I type this, but we get a lot more breathing room in the Rose Bowl race if the Beavers drop another game. It’s a lot more likely that the Beavers will beat all their non-Duck PAC competition (UW, WSU) than that Arizona (Cal, ASU, USC) will do the same. I have to root for the Fus…. (choke, wheeze)
Sorry about that. I have to root for the Fus… .(violent gagging)
Fuck it, can’t they both lose?

This was my point above. I have to put all of my UW hatred aside and hope they upset the Beavs. Yeah it’s nice to assume that we will beat the Beavs so it won’t matter, but I also assumed we would beat Stanford. Breathing room is nice when you’re talking about whether or not we go to the Rose Bowl.

When we lost to Boise, the beefer fans flicked so much *%&@^ at us, I could care less about their chances.
I don’t like the fuskies but we showed them on the field and I’m willing to gag thru the rooting for them.
The beefers are still giving us crap about LGB and I don’t like that or them. I got flagged for swearing at them last week and told I had to stop or I’d get 86’d from AtQ. Mike Riley and his team are Ok but the beefer fans, nah, Go fuskies! And I never thot I’d write that!

the only time I wish ill will on OSU is if them losing benefits us. Fuck Washington, but we clearly have something to gain here.

An Oregon-OSU Rose bowl
if you play a modicum of defense and get after Pryor you will destroy them. He cannot handle defensive pressure at all. It makes me wish Ryan Kerrigan had had a better game in Eugene. The guy has become a beast since then and nearly single-handedly wont he Ohio State game. he also had the game-saving two point conversion sack against Michigan. It was nice to come out on the positive end of a 38-36 game decided on a missed extra point.

I liked this one...
Fierce. Idaho’s AD refused to take a commuter flight with a Boise State paint theme, a move making him late but beloved by his athletic department and fans. He could have done one better, though, by cracking out a can of Krylon’s best, spray-painting "SUCKS" on the plane, and thus have truly represented Vandals worldwide.
I’m going to start carrying a Duck green can of spray paint everywhere I go, just in case.

The OSU and UW planes are parked outside the A terminal at PDX almost daily. Go get ’em!
In my dreams, the start of the Oregon/ASU game goes something like this. ASU receives the opening kick. The offense takes the field but is called for a delay of game before getting the first play off. Something seems to be wrong with QB Brock Osweiler. Bewildered, Coach Erickson summons his center..."Garth, what the hell is going on?" "I don't know coach," Garth replies. "Brock came out of the huddle okay, but he couldn't stop staring into the Oregon student section. His eyes looked kinda weird. I think he pissed himself."

It’s undoubtedly cheaper to buy a ticket. When you board your Alaska flight, all the planes are lined up along the terminal with almost no one around. You’ve got a great chance at a “splash and dash”. Of course, scouting the plane schedule so your target is predictably available relative to your booked flight would be key. This can be done with binoculars from a safe distance.
Oh, and FBI interns, ‘cause I know you’re watching, you get this is a joke, right? Right? And I’m curious, do you guys wear those crazy black sunglasses when you’re spying on us through a computer monitor? Are those required on-duty deployment at all times?

Read the Tim Taylor piece
That’s got to be brutal for the guy. Most people have a bad game, they stew on it for awhile, then they get out there and play again. He may not get another chance to do that. Ever.
Can you imagine if we’d recovered that onside kick? Coming back from down 20 points with 8 minutes left would have been amazing. Not that I blame Taylor, just doing some futile “what-if” thinking.

2007 was a lot of shock and awe (great offense, big time shoot outs with teams, Dixon doing some crazy stuff during games, etc). This season is so lunchpale. Go to work, put on the hard hat, look for efficiencies in everything you do…
I really have to temper my excitement and expectations for next year given HOW MANY guys are coming back.

Ummm, what was the point of this comment? Didn’t you see where I said “not that I blame Taylor”? It wouldn’t be reprehensible, it would be stupid, and I didn’t pin anything on him. He blew a key play that had very little chance to succeed even if he’d done it perfectly. The rest of our team (specifically our defense) didn’t make plays all night.
No, I don’t blame Taylor. I, like a lot of others of you, I’m sure, just can’t help but wonder “What if we’d gotten that onside kick back?”

You know, there's not enough FOCUS!!! or PANIC!!! here for my comfort
We’re playing a really, really good team in about 48 hours now. And given last week, haven’t we learnt our lesson? Shouldn’t we be scratching our heads, debating gameplan, worrying about the front line’s ability to protect Masoli, and scared mindless about our defense? Which Ducks team is going to show up?
PANIC POINTS TO GET YOU STARTED:
1. Stanford
2. Boise. There’s always Boise, no matter what list you’re making.
3. Masoli’s shoulder
4. The Curse of Arizona State Sun Devils (evil juju left over from 2007?)
5. Taylor’s confidence. Will our kicking game suffer?
6. Overconfidence due to playing a frosh rookie qb?
7. Pressing after the last game (see #1).
8. The curse of the media selecting us (See #1 – everybody picked us)
9. Phil Steele
10 USC (somehow, I know they need to be factored into the big evil ball of
“stuff that prevents the Ducks from winning the PAC 10”).

this one's easy
you know, let’s put UW out of the topic for a brief moment. Our #1 rival is oregon state.
Always has been, is and will for all time be, the beavers. The only reason I watch them
play is to root against them, I don’t care WHAT situation presents itself. The Wheaton
pick was the realistic starting point for our rivalry with UW, because it didn’t seem to be much of one prior to that magical moment. The in-state battle with oregon state started
a mere 40 yrs. after the real civil war came to a close. Hell, they still hung horse theives from the bridge tressel in Prineville when this rivalry began! Now I know some of you
have gone astray cheering for oregon state any time they don’t play us. Not this kid!
by ochocokid on Nov 13, 2009 1:41 AM PST reply actions 1 recs
I totally disagree. A thousand percent.
The Pick wasn’t the starting point of the rivalry. Not even close to it. That was the turn around point for the program. In fact, if it was done against… say… Oregon State, that interception carries WAY less importance.
Yes the civil war has been going on for a much longer period.
Oregon State is a rivalry in the sense that they are our biggest competitor from across the street. Washington is a rivalry in the sense that they stole our supplies and are selling them just to be assholes. They’ve just been in prison for the last few years.

I don’t necessarily agree about the origins of the UW rivalry, but I hate the Beavers more than the Huskies. I want OSU to lose every game they play. It’s probably a generational thing. I’ve been watching Duck football since 2000, and certainly the rivalry with both of those schools was hot (and meaningful) in the first couple years. But since 2003, UW hasn’t really mattered, at all. Whereas the Civil War has still been huge from a football perspective. That has to mean something.
It’s also probably a location thing. I grew up in SoCal and now live down here again after my four years in Eugene. So the Beavers are our natural rivals – I get that and embrace it. I hate USC because they win all the time and I have to deal with brainwashed fake USC fans here in SoCal. I hate UW because…other people have told me I should. It’s just not the same.

I hate UW because their fans frigging ran onto the field and tackled our receiver. And because of the Rose Bowl snub.
But mostly because I’ve now been to Husky Stadium twice, and their fans not only were fairly jackass, but also have this high and mighty “We’re so much better than Oregon fans, who are just awful people” attitude.

just saying
For me, a rivalry is real if you’re somewhat competative. Oregon is 10-4 against wash.
since ’94. And the 25 years before that? We won twice in a row only once during that stretch, and wash. won 17 of the 21 games prior to that rose bowl season.
It’s great to be able to beat wash., and obviously they are a rival(GRRRR!), but when we
do, kinda hard to flaunt it when the sad pups are over 300 mi. up the road. Cornvallis
is a stone’s throw away, the momentum builds all week prior, and the bragging rights
are sweet with a win, but a gut wrencher when you don’t, ’cause you know you have to
just suck it up and live with it….the whole off-season!!
And last year, no argument that keeping oregon state out of their 1st rose bowl in
forever was way more satisfying than beating the mangy mutts!
