Quack Fix: It's Cal Tonight, Then At Stanford; Will Oregon Pull Out A Top-10 Class?

Another Pac-10 gameday...is that anything like another manic Monday? We shall see. Here's the Quack:
- Here's the official GoDucks.com release previewing men's basketball on the road at Cal and Stanford. Tonight's game at 7:30 is on Comcast Sportsnet. Saturday's tilt with Stanford is not. You will find some interest tidbits in the release...turns out Michael Dunigan is currently second in the Pac-10 for field goal percentage at 59%. Maybe get him the ball more? Tonight Dunigan faces Cal's 7-3 center, Max Zhang.
- A predictably excellent preview of the Cal game by Avinash over at California Golden Blogs. Have you seen this video yet?
- Mike Tokito of The Oregonian also previews the weekend, with notes from around the conference.
- The R-G's Bob Clark takes a deep look at Mike Dunlap's role as associate head coach for men's hoops. No surprise, Dunlap is preaching patience.
- Rob Moseley ain't just about football. Today he features Nicole Canepa, a 6-5 post player for the lady Ducks. Canepa has taken well to her role off the bench, then dropped 38 on Arizona upon her return to the starting line-up.
- Who am I kidding, Moseley is still our man for football. He continues to review the 2009 season, today looking at the linebackers.
- Oregon's current football recruiting class is currently ranked about 25th. That could change significantly in the next couple weeks. Brian McLaughlin of Sporting News Blogs thinks Oregon could crack the top 10 if they were to land the "Big Three" of defensive ends Owamagbe Odighizuwa and Gabe King, and running back Lache Seastrunk. (Never mind his note on Dillon Baxter...we know that's not going to happen.)
- ESPN's Ted Miller announces his Pac-10 coaches of the decade. Only Oregon and Oregon State have two on the list. Oregon was also involved in four of Miller's Pac-10 games of the decade. UW, by the way, made the list once - for their 33-30 win over Oregon State...WAY BACK IN 2000! I love that.
- Has the university done wrong by former A.D. Bill Moos? Ron Bellamy of the R-G seems to think so. Moos recently tried to land a job with UNLV, but was blocked by some apparently fuzzy legal language in his exit settlement from a couple years back. Quite the saga. Ken Goe of The Oregonian weighs in.
Don't hog the Quack! If you find something we missed, you're obligated to share, sort of. As signing day creeps closer, we're all on the lookout for some big - and hopefully good - Duck news.

Without MB there is no Chip Kelly
No question Caroll is the #1 coach but MB is the only reason we are becoming a consistent national power in the first place.

you keeping Willingham off that list becasue of his time at Stanford? Remember he does have an 0-12 record to his name which neither of those coaches do.

Yeah, Willingham had success at Stanford early in the decade, and went to a Rose Bowl in 2000. He does have that 0-12 record to his name, but he had already been fired halfway through that season, so while bad, I hold Doba and Gilbertson in much higher regard, as they both ran good programs into the ground.
I mean, WSU was ranked 3rd in the country in the 2000s. They have fallen so far.

Aparantly you forget that Gilbertson
only coached UW for one year. Hardly running a good program into the ground. Neuheisel and Willingham ran the program to the center of the earth. Gilbertson was put in a hell of a tough spot and tried his damndest.

Well, Neuheisel didn’t do a lot for Gilbertson, but Gilbertson had two years as head coach. Willingham just wasn’t the coach to bring it out of that hole.

Rose Bowl Experience
I had a similar experience at the Rose Bowl. A USC fan was in the row behind us and was all positive for the ducks but then as soon as it was clear we were going to lose he got nasty, saying all kinds of nasty shit. We fired back with all the obvious comments “47-20” etc. He kept talking shit. Then threw my friends ducks baseball cap down 4 rows. Words continued back and forth, then he dumped his entire beer on my friend’s head. Blinding, white-hot fury – I wanted to kill the guy and his fat wife but didn’t want to get kicked out or go to jail for assault. Such a horrible way to finish out the season, as if the loss wasn’t a hard enough pill to swallow.
I wish I had good enough MS paint skills to put up something similar, but I share this as further proof that U$C fans are the absolute. worst. ever.

I have a pretty good one
At half time a girl sat down behind me and asked to use my phone. I said yes before I realized both she and her friend had phones out. Ok thats kind of weird. Then a few min later she reached forward and stuck her finger deep into my ear. I said what the fuck and she said oops. My brother saw it happen and there was clear intent. Weird and shit. After the game I ran into her and she asked me about my hat and had no idea who I was, score one for alcohol.

Some Cal fans (who were in the section next to me) started to talk trash to us, prompting a chant of “BEARS CAN’T SWIM! (which they can but that’s not the point, the game was basically in a monsoon)” from my section. That was fun.

No game tonight but they play Detroit at 4:30 PM Saturday Pacific. With a game at 5 PM and only a CSN deal, no TV game.
It’ll probably be on one of the Fox College Sports Channels for those of us that have the Comcast sports package though.

Tim Floyd says recruiting violations are not why he left
Right….
Link: Floyd: Treatment by Garrett why I left
Quote:
Former USC coach Tim Floyd, who abruptly left the Trojans’ bench in June as allegations about the improper recruiting of O.J. Mayo surfaced, said Wednesday that his departure was related to his deteriorating relationship with athletic director Mike Garrett and had nothing to do with the allegations, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported.
Floyd, now a New Orleans Hornets assistant, and Mayo, who played for Floyd at USC and now starts for the Memphis Grizzlies, shared a hug before the two teams tipped off Wednesday night in New Orleans.
That relationship was at the center of USC’s internal probe into the Trojans’ recruiting of Mayo, which led to the program’s self-imposing of sanctions, including a postseason ban for this season and vacating all of USC’s wins from 2007-08 — Mayo’s one season playing for Floyd and the Trojans.
Floyd resigned in June 2009 after allegations surfaced that he paid $1,000 to Mayo associate Rodney Guillory, who helped steer Mayo to USC.
“Why I left was not in any way an admission of guilt,” Floyd said, according to the Times-Picayune. "It was a complete testament to a lack of support by my administration and how we were treated after four years of doing everything the right way. And that is what I’ve gone on record as saying.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

His quote has truth to it
I don’t doubt he left mostly because of the violations, though. It was never proven that Floyd gave Guilliroy money, but bringing Mayo on board knowing what he knew was the time.
The quote, though, is very interesting. Everyone knows USC basketball is the stepchild. They’re using it as a pawn to deflect from the football team. The NCAA probably came calling and the AD didn’t fight for the basketball program.

I like blazersedge for the updates, previews and recaps (pretty much only the stuff on the front page) but the crowd has gotten too big and loud… and the hypocricies run too deep.
Criticize Blake, fine. Talk about Outlaws low BBIQ, ok. Blame McMillian for everything, sounds good. Touch Oden, Roy or Pritchard and they’ll slaughter you.
Plus, because you aren’t allowed to swear or release angst in anyway the site has become way too passive aggressive. You think the grammar nazi’s are bad around here… try making a typo over there.

going back to his high school days, and even during his one year stint at ohio state where he earned my heart, he’s struggled with injuries. he’s been injured every single season since his junior year of high school. if he can’t get through next year, he’ll earn that “injury prone” moniker (if he hasn’t already) – which is a shame. he’s an amazing talent, when healthy.

I call it the Walton curse
Ever since the Blazers hung Bill out to dry… and traded him…. every time we get a first round pick we get a center… I mean we took Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan for gawd sake, and our greatest center since Walton was Kevin Duckworth (or was it Sabonis). Anyway, this is the perpetual problem with the Blazers, we will not win another championship until we overcome the Walton curse and get a truly dominating big man.

They’re leading the nation in scoring with 87.4 ppg and they’ve hit the mark hosting WOU, SOU, Cal State Fullerton, and Long Beach State, and in an away loss to Arizona, so yes, it’s quite plausible.

Dilemma time
Should I go to the women’s game tonight, or stay home and watch the men’s game on TV? I haven’t watched PaulBall in person yet, and I don’t know if I can handle watching a men’s game tonight.

I have a feeling that many share your views.
Myself included. The last time I was actually confident about getting a commit, Urban Meyer douched that over.
I sure hope that we can finally get that 5 star blue chip athlete, lets hope that Seastrunk realizes the potential he could bring to this offense (as opposed to LSU’s offense). Lache would be the fastest player that Coach Kelly had ever coached, just imagine the possibilites!

According to that piece, his girlfriend goes to LSU. Most of us who are out of college think “Bah, that doesn’t mean anything. He’ll go to the place that best suits him.” But for a high school kid, that could very well be a tipping point.
