First off, Congratulations to Chip Kelly and LaMichael James, who were given great honors today. Coach Kelly was named the Pac-10 Coach of year, and he undoubtedly deserved it. After the debacle at Boise, Oregon rebounded and won the Pac-10 be two whole games. LaMichael James was named the offensive freshman of the year, setting the Pac-10 rushing record for freshman, and was the most explosive running back in the conference, if not nation.
Rounding out the Ducks on the all conference teams, Ed Dickson was named to the first team, while Jeremiah Masoli, LaMichael James, Will Tukuafu, and Casey Matthews were named to the second team.
I think what the voting for this award proves is that Oregon was by far the best team in the conference. It's pretty shocking that Oregon won the conference by two games, yet only got 5 players onto the all conference teams.
Meanwhile, OSU had 7 players on the first team alone, yet couldn't hang with Oregon in the 4th quarter. UCLA had four players on the first team defense, but had a worse defense than Oregon by almost any statistical measure.
While it would have been nice to see the individuals on the team recognized to a greater degree, Oregon gets to take home the ultimate prize: the Pac-10 championship.

Hey Pac 10
Go ahead and have your individual awards, we’ll take the one that comes with Roses.
Congrats to all the guys that got mentioned. Go Ducks!!!
I LaLove my Ducks. Best way to start a new decade imaginable... Oregon in the Rose Bowl January 1st!!!!!
Pac-10 Team of the Year
The Oregon Ducks.
It's spelled "T-a-k-i-D-O-N-A-L-D-3-0-0-0"
I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
I’m kinda pissed for Masoli. He and Canfield had almost exactly the same stats by the end of the season (if you take into account Masoli’s missed game over UCLA), and account for the fact that Masoli moves the ball with his feet.
Masoli didn’t have the completion percentage, but that was partially a product of OSU’s short passing game.
To me, it comes down to which QB made the plays when the game was on the line. And apparently the Pac-10’s best QB is a guy who can’t hit a 15 yard out with his season on the line. Awesome.

I think I told you they’d skip over the running stats. Throw Masoli’s running stats out, and Canfield is 820 yards better.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-V-I-O-L-A-T-E-D"
Why in the world would you throw out rushing stats….
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Because QBs don’t run. Duh!
But speaking of runners…
LMJ is 1.47 yards/carry better than Quizz
LMJ was held under 100 twice as a starter, Quizz was held under 100 yards five times as a starter.
But Quizz is first team, LaMichael is second.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-V-I-O-L-A-T-E-D"
also, LMJ was “held” under 100 yards in games where he had 9 and 13 carries. Quizz was held under 100 when he had 20, 16, 17, 25, and 16 carries.
And you can’t use the, “Quizz carried the whole load excused.” He had more first teamers working with him!
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
perfectly fine w/ me.
Quizz sets the bar and LMJ will break it the next.

If we’re going to complain about them overlooking Masoli’s rushing yards, we can’t overlook Quizz’s receiving numbers, which are much better than LMJ’s

Is it just me, or is Quizz still riding his hype from the ‘08 USC game? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a special player, but I never for a second thought he was Heisman special this year.

I was much more impressed by his brother. Great receiver, excellent ability to separate. He was really the only receiver to consistently beat our CBs over and over again.

I agree. However, I think it says a lot that no one was able to shut down LMJ.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
LMJ is WAY more explosive than Quizz...
So of course nobody can shut down LMJ. You can bottle him up for a quarter, but he will break at least one off! Not to mention our O-line is VERY inexperienced (as is OSU’s)…I think LMJ deserves it more.
Oh well, I honestly don’t care about these individual accolades. I have a Rose Bowl to worry about instead
Our collective lack of productivity has clearly paid off in the grandest of fashion. We are going to Pasadena. Yes, let that sink in. WE ARE GOING TO PASADENA. To be honest, this has not yet hit me-WE ARE GOING TO PASADENA. Wow.

Because QBs don’t run. Duh!
Then why did Walter and Chip vote Tim Tebow first team, all-SEC?
Roses on the West Coast, 11-N.O. on the Gulf Coast!
Because Tebow will be an NFL fullback that played a little QB in college.
So more appropriately stated, “Fullbacks don’t throw the ball! WTF?”

Can we talk more about how Mike Bellotti was screwed multiple times? Esp. last year, when he wiped the floor with Mike Riley?
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
coaches vote based upon their own players and also reputation from the previous years. the awards are for 2009, not 08’, 07’ or 06’.
Like you said all that matters is the PAC-10 Championship and the ROSE BOWL, by 2 games nonetheless.
Winning is really all that matters, who cares about individual awards.
GO DUCKS
Clarification
are they told to vote on these awards for how they played during the conference schedule or for the entire season?
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
While the lack of recognition for some of players irritates me a bit, its a team game. And the BEST TEAM is going to the Rose Bowl. I think there is a double standard here though. The only reason you can say Quizz is ahead of LMJ for first team is if you add in his receiving yards. But if that is the case, add Masoli’s rushing yards to the equation. I don’t think you can have one on the first team without the other if that is how a voter would argue their case.
The road to Pasadena goes through Autzen...and the Ducks have punched their ticket to THE ROSE BOWL!!!!
i think helps highlight the youth on this team. these votes always are skewed to upperclassman who’ve put in their time and, therefore, have better name recognition to start the season.

I think the reasons for Quizz being chosen 1st team over LMJ is..
…not only his receiving yards, but also total TDs of 21 and never fumbling. I think LMJ has fumbled a few times.
Another good point
I think Quizz deserved it.
The guy who didn’t deserve it? This Gerhart fellow. What the hell did he do this year?

It’s a beauty contest and many of the judges dislike the Oregon program.
They say we’re rude, loud and too drunk. We change uniforms more times in one season than some programs do in 50 years. Phil Knight thinks the Ducks are cool and has used his checkbook to further the cause. We go huge with YouTube awesome rap videos where other schools produce crap that barely exceeds the Superbowl Shuffle. Our students have by far the best game-themed t-shirts in the country on a weekly basis. Our mascot kicks other mascots asses.
Let them hate. This year, they’re all looking up at the big O.

I I know Woodson won it, any others?
I heart taxes.

Unfortunately
He has no shot at the Heisman, hell Gerhart has no shot either.
"When LaMichael James decides he's going North. The foot goes in the ground and it's 0 to 60 now!" Jesse Palmer.
If you haven’t seen that one pick, go watch it. It was not a “tipped to the lineman” pick, it was an “I’m snatching this pass out of midair from about the line of scrimmage, on a rainy night when receivers on both teams haven’t held onto the ball.”
Note, however, that these were Nebraska and Mizzou receivers. So that might not mean all that much.

As mentioned somewhat above, I’m okay with Quizz or Canfield, but not both. If we’re not counting Masoli’s rushing yards, we shouldn’t be counting Quizz’s receiving yards. If we’re going to count one, count both.
I will tell you this much…the next time I hear the Beavers give me the “we do more with less bullshit”, I’m calling bullshit. You must have the better players. You had SEVEN first team selections. We had 1. We won. Looks like we’re doing more with less, according to the “experts”.

Absolutely certain that either LSU-Ole Miss officials who didn't check to give LSU the full 0:03 they had and NU-UT officials who did check to give the Horns the 0:01 he had can't both be right.
I don't have a problem with Quizz over James
Think about who is voting, coaches. Most of the coaches have probably had to gameplan for Quizz more this year, than James. There is very little film on James, and when you think about Or St offense, you immediately think about how effective the Rodgers bros are, and what you have to do to slow them down. Besides, we all know its going to be James, Quizz 1 adn 2 next year.
I do have a problem with Canfield getting it over Masoli though. If you aren’t looking at James on film and trying to gameplan for him, you sure as hell are looking at Masoli. He is the key that turn the Oregon offense, and I don’t understand one bit how you can put Canfield over Masoli. If you’re going to cliam total offense, then why not Locker, if passing why not Foles… it doesn’t make sense to me. I think Masoli got jobbed by a “lets give it to the senior” mentality and that is crap. Lastly, I think in head to head Masoli seemed to be able to pick up the necessary 4th down not once but twice that was needed to win the game… Canfield, not so much.
I LaLove my Ducks. Best way to start a new decade imaginable... Oregon in the Rose Bowl January 1st!!!!!
Canfield getting it over Masoli is simply a joke. I really don't see how they can justify it.
Stats/numbers aren’t an end in themselves. They are supposed to be used as a broad indicator of who helped their team to win more. It’s about winning, remember? And if you can tell me with a straight face that Canfield accomplished more than Masoli, was more effective at getting his team to win than Masoli, was more significant than Masoli, I’ll give you an Oscar on the spot, or a discount coupon to get your eyes checked.
Ethan Grant
Rivals has taken Ethan Grant off Oregon’s commitment list. He is now listed as a TCU commitment. What’s up with that?
Apparently cancelling all of his visits after visiting us, and talking about how he was a Duck...
Did not mean that he was a Duck; or at least did not mean he was no longer looking around.

Man… this is heart breaking. I can only see on a few message boards, but it looks like he did decommit and commit to TCU.
This sucks! I was totally looking forward to our own Percy Harvin super star.
The muttering I can find is that he was promised immediate playing time at TCU, and he didn’t have that promise at Oregon.

It started with boise st.
It was a national perception that lingered in the background, and jcon and MCduck
were right . It stayed like an infection, even when the proper medicine was administered.
Crush cal and usc? Oh well, those teams are in a downspin anyway. yeah, thanks to the
beatdown we put on them. Then it was, now they go on the road, they could let down
against ucla or even wash. So when that failed to materialize, it was, well now that they’ve
been “exposed” by stanford, could ariz. st. be a letdown? Ariz,. same thing. And that’s why
maybe I’m in the minority that WANTED to see another blowout against oregon st. Our
own mistakes kept this from being a 2 TD win.
