Quack Fix: Ducks win! But women fall at Pauley.
Woo! Man, doing the quack fix on Friday's is so much more exciting after a win.
- The Duck's won last night in OT over the UCLA Bruins, 71-66. If you missed Matt Daddy's recap, check it out below. The team fought hard, put in the extra effort that was missing over the last few games, and came away the victor. As Bob Clark's recap points out, this win was a result of not only the effort during the game, but the time up to it as well. Hopefully the Ducks can take that effort into the coming games.
- Ron Bellamy had an article on how both the players and coaches did an great job, and seemed to prove many of their critics wrong. Kent put the team in a position to succeed, defensively, and proved that he could get the best out of his players, energy-wise. The players never gave up, and played hard throughout.
- Unfortunately, the Oregon women did not fare so well, failing to UCLA at their own game, 104-80. While the Oregon women were only down by 3 at the half (50-47), they were run off the court in the second. While the pace of the Oregon women has led to a great deal of excitement around the program, they will need to improve significantly on the defense end. They suffered another poor night on that end of the floor, allowing the Bruins to shoot 58% from the field.
- In football news, it sounds like three players may no longer be on the team, as Garrett Embry, Andrew Iupati, and Terrance Montgomery had their lockers cleaned out. This likely has nothing to do with the recent frat house theft allegations, but is simply normal offseason turnover. I'm sure that won't stop most Duck fans from fretting over the state of our defensive line.
- In a shocking twist, John Canzano has a good take on the SAE house and theft accusations. And he points out the police know the house well, making 57 calls to the house to take reports since 2004. This information simply raises more questions, that will likely not be answered for some time.
- A second arrest has been made in the assault on Rob Beard. Kirby Taylor Hawkins, of Portland, has been charged with second degree assault.
With signing day quickly approaching, there's sure to be plenty to discuss. Leave any quack below! After the jump, some highlights from last night's win.

I still want more details
about the video of Masoli at Taylor’s…what time frame was he seen there from?
And its also
Really really odd that the second guy accused in the beating went to high school with the SAE accuser…what the hell happened that night?
How many posts should we expect of people flipping out about the DLine today?

I can tell you very much
having coached against him, that Kirby Hawkins played basketball at Parkrose that season. Here are some links to attest to that:
Could one play football at Lincoln AND basketball at Parkrose in the same season? I don’t think OSAA would allow that.
I would be shocked if there were any relationship between the Masoli and Beard incidents. I think the conspiracy theorists are trying to read too much into that.

He got 43 points in that game!?
So he was a pretty good player, why isn’t he playing college ball? Grades?
There might be no connection, but this is sort of interesting.
Parkrose (0-6, 0-3) at Sherwood (5-1, 3-0)
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m.
The matchup: With a 35-7 victory over Century last week, Sherwood continues to play like the No. 3 team in the state. The highlight came on Cole Krieger’s 90-yard fourth-quarter touchdown reception. Staying motivated for this Northwest Oregon Conference game is a key for Sherwood against Parkrose, which is allowing 58.7 points a game. Wide receiver Kirby Hawkins, a transfer from Lincoln, has helped the Broncos, and quarterback Nick Magrone passed for 252 yards and three touchdowns last week, but until the defense stops somebody it probably won’t matter.

if this happens to be the case, I’m cool with the winning. Once we are in the new arena and expectations are firmly set and established, then the dropoff can’t happen and if it does, a change will be made and deservedly so.
Let’s keep in mind though, this was just one game. Let’s not write it as a job saving win just yet

Also, not to beat the proverbial dead horse (which I think has decayed by now), but you see a game like this and wonder, “Why the heck can’t this team do this consistently?” And I understand teams have good games and bad games. That happens.
But I’d love to see 5 good games followed by an uncharacteristic bad game rather than the other way around. I know this is cynical, and I AM happy with the win, but I don’t think this placates the Fire Ernie crowd. Nor should it unless this turns out to be a turning point in the season.

Personally I am often amused and sometimes bemused by the concern.
An apt comparison would be only being able to see about 10% of the information and then freaking out based off that small information set. How many “highly rated” defensive lineman are going to have to come in and fail or not make grades, or leave to become cops before we realize how little we truly know in the whole football coaching/recruiting landscape?
If Oregon pulled its offer to Gabe King, there is likely a very good reason for this.
If Oregon kicked those two defensive lineman off the team, there is likely a good reason for this as well.

You are right
Its just that we have sucked on Defense for sooo long its the one place that we need to improve…the last real defensive powerhouse we had was a 5 star recruit so it the illusion that we need more to improve our game. The real issue I feel is either the defensive philosophy or that we dont develop the 3 star recruits to a high enough level. Still if we had a real powerhouse defense no one could stop us so its the last piece we need in the puzzle. I am thrilled by having Azzinaro as he seems like he can help to develop some lower rate D-LIneman into all stars
Sucking?
Uhhh, we were the best defense in the Pac-10 last year.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Im talking nationally
Not that I am saying the PAC doesnt play D, but if we had a D that matched up to our O we would be more powerful than the Hulk, superman and hercules combined!
Common Nick Reed was a freaking animal who could stop the run and pass rush. He was not a 5 * guy. We will get guys to plug into the D line and make it work.
He got the automatic 1* downgrade
by scout for signing with Oregon. Rivals had him as the #10 in the country at his position.

I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
OK sucking was harsh for last year
they were actually very good for most of the year, but look at the Stanford game…and the Rose Bowl (I know the offensehas to take blame too) they are good, but still not elite.
yea thats a good point
but Im being demanding and want a defense that does more that make it work…..
Bair and Rowe are going to terrorize opposing offenses next year...
but the depth is concerning. Montgomery and Iupati were going to be insurance policies that are now gone. Our top 4 guys right now are Rowe (245 pounds), Bair (268 pounds), Clark (280), and Turner (255). Hopefully we see some guys come in bigger after the offseason. Our depth is now Anderson (255), Hart (290), Wade K (285), Remington (290), and Irvin (light). Denton Tui can hopefully stay qualified and play like a scholarship player.
Can we start a betting pool on the number of personal fouls on Bair?

For one game?
I think the UW game he had 3 for hands to the face and I think they all might’ve been in the first half
by Brian Floyd on Jan 29, 2010 10:36 AM PST up reply actions
You're right...
with Hart and Reminton at 6’6", we should be good for 2 a game. But we should get some swats at the line.
There’s still little reason to worry about the D-line for next year, unless we get absolutely ravaged by injury. The coaching staff is happy with where we’re at, and not passing out to anyone that can walk.
This reminds me of everyone flipping out last year about a need for WRs in the 2009 class. That worked out very well.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
jlight...
I was not worried about any of our positions last year. We had Ferras, Toe, Bair, Rowe, Tukuafu, and signed 3 JC guys. You have to admit that we are very light on the line. Bair and Clark are our top DT coming into this season and they are 268 and supposedly 280.
Likewise...
who do we put in at NT when we’re in a 3-3-5 or 3-4-4? Ferras and Toe are gone and our prototypical DTs in T. Monty and Iupati or gone. We are relying on redshirt freshman now.
Bair played NT most of the year last year. Clark and Turner will be called on to be DE’s. Remember, since Oregon is really doubling down on the 3-4 defense, they don’t need to recuit as many d-linemen.
I support the calls to fire Matt Daddy
Addicted to Quack
When we had 3 on the line...
we mainly used Ferras and Toe because Bair got eaten alive in those situation. It’s tough to have a 268 guy play mulitple gaps. Hopefully Bair comes in with a little more bulk or Reminton, with spring ball, is prepared.
We are relying on redshirt freshman now.
So? By all accounts, the coaching staff is very happy with the development of the young players. I’m pretty excited to see them step up.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I am not saying we're going to suck...
We should be able to replicate what we did last year. I thought we could be in really good shape and up the anty from last year. Now my expectation are little lower. We have everyone coming back from a rose bowl team except for 2 of the more beefier guys on the dline. T. Monty would have projected in the 2 deep.
Redshirt freshman rarely have seen time on the dline. Who know though? With Azz’s magic and another year under his toutelage, the underclassmen will blossom.
When is the coug field gonna be red?

I don’t doubt that you can prove 1, but 2 and 3 are going to be much more difficult to prove definitively. “Frequently” is subjective, and if frequently isn’t all that often, then #3 doesn’t even have to be true. I don’t believe I’m at risk from eating fast food (and could offer years of eating fast food as anecdotal evidence).
I’m not going to take this further lest we delve into religious matters. But I think my comparison was appropriate, if not perfect.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
WASHINGTON, Mar 01 2000 (Reuters) — Most raw US meat
processed into ground beef patties may be tainted with tiny
amounts of the illness-causing E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria,
according to a draft study released Tuesday by US Department
of Agriculture (USDA) scientists.
The new estimate adds to the growing evidence that the
sometimes-deadly bug is much more common in live cattle and
carcasses than previously believed by federal regulators.
American consumer groups have stepped up pressure for the
USDA to require the meat industry to adopt testing throughout
the production and distribution chain, a move opposed by firms
who say broad testing will not make food safer.
An estimated 89% of US beef ground into patties contains some
E. coli 0157:H7, although the actual amount may be extremely
small, said Mark Powell, an epidemiologist with the USDA’s
Food Safety and Inspection Service.
I’d call 89% fairly definitive.
As for #3, and at the risk of being accused of linking, is 3 million pounds recalled in the last 3 months a confidence builder? This, 10 years after that USDA study. Not seeing much progress, although they do treat your ground beef with ammonia nowadays; yum!
I think your comparison was imperfectly appropriate, but I will defend to your death your right to express your opinion.
As for me, I will grind my own hamburger, thank you very much. (This is not a view I’ve taken without sadness. I loves me some Sourdough Jack, and it’s probably good that there are no In-N-Outs in Oregon.)
everything is history, eventually.
Regarding the beef, it's really not debatable.
The ecoli is in there, me friends, it’s just killed by methods that leave food that isn’t all that good for yer body. It’s also produced by people that are always looking for cheaper and cheaper ways to deliver to Sizzlers and Jack in the Cracks, who are looking for cheaper and cheaper ways to get you a happy meal, and thus occasionally one more corner get’s cut and a bunch of people get sick.
There’s no debate, people will get ecoli every 3 or 5 years, and fast food will be bad for you, our farmlands, and our workforce every day. Don’t get me wrong, I eat it when necessary, just don’t pretend its good for any of us.
Regarding Pascal’s Wager and/or God, continue eternal debate, now.

Sure, but as stated, most amounts are too small to have any effect. I’m not debating that there a 7,000 healthier things I could eat besides a fast food burger. I’m just not all that worried about getting disease from them, given that there are millions of people who eat burgers each day who don’t get anything.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Sure, there are millions who eat burgers and don't get anything.
But there are some every month or every year that do, and the numbers are too high for this country to put up with.
From the CDC (www.cdc.gov):
Experts think that there may be about 70,000 infections with E. coli O157 each year in the United States.
List of reported outbreaks, recent years:
http://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/outbreaks.html
Just recently, two people died in New England in Oct/Nov 2009 and like 28 got sick from ecoli tainted beef.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/03/health/03beef.html
So “most amounts are too small to have any effect” and “not all that worried about getting a disease from them” is certainly your choice, but it shouldn’t be something the public should deal with, several deaths each year and tens of thousands of illnesses, many of which require hospitalization.
Anyway, it is clear that people in general are willing to take the risk since we all keep eating the stuff, yup that part is obvious.
I’m just saying I don’t think people are aware of how prevalent this is.

These obviously represent the pinnacle of sports analysis.
You’ve also misread Gorby’s post, which says he doesn’t want to talk God and Pascal’s Wager here, after which he goes on to continue the discussion about beef and ecoli, which I responded to.
So ya, enough with ecoli on ATQ, but you c’mon.

They also play tenacious defense
You’re not gonna see a zone, but will see some hard nosed man defense. They’re a good team, but they aren’t gonna score 80 (unless you’re UW). They’ll slow it down, try to take good shots and force Oregon into bad shots

I would not be the least bit surprised if Warner was the only example of a QB who won a Super Bowl, then suffered nearly 10 years of crap, only to play in another.

looks to be visiting this weekend. Currently projected as a SDE but could end up a DT. The coaches are working around the clock to fill out our needs.
I’m very much hoping this ends up like the WR situation from last year, where everyone frets, and then after signing day we’re all like, hey, so much for all that.

Why would he be tripping to Oregon...
from Ohio if he didn’t at least consider it.
Here are some thing to consider:
UCLA is his leader but they are in it for OWA, which is his competition.
He is an East Coast kid willing to go West but he may like our East Coast staff.
Look at our depth chart?
Is that a grammar police thing...???
