Quack Fix: Pac-10 divisional split decision imminent, Oregon's 'blur' offense, confessing agent's ties to a Duck

in Morning Quack Fix
Email
PrintBye weeks are kind of boring, aren't they? Well, they're supposed to be, but fortunately there's a ton of Quack today. Enjoy your morning fix:
- The Pac-10's North-South divisional split is reportedly very close to being finalized, with a compromise from Cal and Stanford to join the Oregon and Washington schools in the North division the final hurdle. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott hopes to announce the plan following a scheduled meeting on Oct. 21 in San Francisco.
- ESPN Page 2's Gregg Easterbrook took a closer look at what he calls Oregon's "blur offense" in his Tuesday Morning Quarterback column. You might also learn a thing or two about the Pistol offense in the process.
- If you haven't read Sports Illustrated's "Confessions of an agent" story yet, definitely check it out. It takes a closer look at the relationships sports agents have with NCAA players from the perspective of former agent Josh Luchs. But it's also relevant to Duck fans: former Oregon wideout Keenan Howry plays a pretty important role in Luchs' story.
- The Oregonian's Ken Goe weighs in on Oregon's favorable first-half schedule. My guess is the road isn't going to get any easier.
- Head coach Chip Kelly seemed a bit testy with Rob Moseley during the Pac-10 teleconference yesterday morning. He's probably just bummed out like the rest of us since the Ducks don't play this weekend (and apparently he has a cold as well).
- If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing the Ducks in person this season, ESPN 3D might be the next best thing. The new network will show its first West Coast game when they broadcast the Oregon-UCLA game from Autzen next Thursday.
- BCS Evolution takes an in-depth look at the Ducks in this week's BCS Profile. Speaking of the BCS, what are the chances Oregon ends up No. 1 on Sunday without even playing a game this weekend?
- Former Oregon hoops star Luke Jackson was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies yesterday after appearing in only one preseason game. Chances are Jackson will end up playing another season overseas.
- The Oregon men's golf team finished 12th at the PGA West yesterday after dropping 5 spots in the final round. The Ducks were bested by only one Pac-10 team, Cal, which won the event. Oregon will have a chance to redeem themselves against the Bears next week at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational in Fairfax, CA.
- Have you started making your Christmas (or Hanukkah) lists yet? It's never too early. Just make sure to add the Mac Court commemorative book.

So, if I'm correctly following the pattern,
Thursday’s Quack Fix will be out at five o’clock this evening?
Sorry for the early post.
I pressed the wrong button. Oops!
Addicted To Quack. If you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
Substantively,
I’m not exactly sure how to feel about this North/South split. I think I like it. It’s way better than a full zipper. This cuts the northwest schools out of LA more than any zipperish plan would, and I think I was holding out hope for a kind of California Zipper.
But Northwest cohesion is a great thing, playing Bavers and Fuskies every year with no possibility of a rematch in the championship game. If this holds, it’s great that the northwest series can all continue (despite the injury potential that comes with WSU).
And as a whole I really like the classic composition of the north. All original Pac-8. Culturally and geographically it’s a great fit. At least IMO, North is the tough division ATM.
Looking south, USC/UCLA get all the newcomers, without the long series and tradition. From that standpoint, the North definitely comes out ahead, and I’d be a little unhappy with that if I were in USC/UCLA’s place.
And I think, whatever their division, Utah is headed for a fall. I don’t doubt they can come in and compete, but THE reason that schools like Utah, fBSU and TCU win 11 or more games every year is because their tough games are few and far between. They’re pushed two or three times a season with a lot of cushion. On top of conference play, one of Utah’s 3 OOCs will be BYU, who are pretty good most years. Coming to the Pac-12 means the Utes are going to have to live with 7-9 wins on a regular basis, cracking 10+ much less frequently than they do now. Hopefully the program and fans will be realistic about that. It seems like a lot of the excitement and push for these good non-FBS teams to get into a conference like the Pac-10 is that “now, when we go undefeated they can’t keep us out of the NCG!” Yes, that’s true(ish), but…
The benefit for Utah and Colorado is
They might have more success recruiting in california since they’ll be playing there every year. While the north may be ‘tougher’ (I think their pretty even), also if I am correct the southern division covers the larger television market, with phoenix, LA, denver and salt lake city being bigger than the bay area, portland and seattle

I was looking at the Bruin's SB site earlier.
Some of them are VERY unhappy about the idea of being lumped with the 4 “non-historical” Pac-8 and 10 schools. They talked in terms of not just missing the NoCal rivalries but the rivalries (going back to the 19-teens) with the NW schools.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Oct 13, 2010 2:03 PM PDT up reply actions
It's just such a bullshit argument
They’ll be playing the other division slightly less often than they did before the Pac-10 instituted the round robin. People just want to complain. No system is going to please everybody, and nobody should be bending over backwards to please the California schools.

Utah and BYU have only have agreed to play 2011 and 2012 with a home and home, long term agreement may not happen. Since my family lives in SLC I tend to follow the Utes as my number 2. This is a real talented and deep team. Recruiting wise they are getting better and better. Recruiting History Rivals Rank: 2011:31 2010: 32 2009:44 2008: Not in the top 50, 2007: Not in the top 50. Ut, Ca and Tx are their pipelines. Little from AZ and Co or Northwest. I am excited to see Utah join the Pac, there fans are outstanding, their support will rival Oregon’s and their play is exciting. In other words they remind me a lot of Oregon, which scares me. Once they join in 2011 they are legit contenders for the Rose Bowl. If this year was 2011, I could see the ranking in the South like this with a tie at the top: UA, UU, USC, ASU, UCLA, CU.

I don’t really watch MLB until the playoff start, and I have to admit that I’ve started pulling for the Rangers. I like teams who have fun, I was a pitcher in high school so I love watching performances like Cliff Lee last night, and the fact that they did that for their teammate is pretty cool IMO. Plus, do you really need a reason to root against the Yankees, their next opponent? I like the Phillies too, but it’ll be interesting to see if any team can get to that rotation…I mean Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels, twice each and potentially a 3rd time facing Halladay? How does any team win 4 of 7 against that rotation?

Agents and their presence in the state of Oregon?
Ok, I’ve got a question. It’s in reference to the Sports Illustrated piece about this agent.
Yes he mentions Oregon’s former WR Keenan Howry, who I knew in college and always thought he was just a great person and humble with his success. So my question is this, does the State of Oregon have laws set in place that outlaw agents from giving cash and benefits to amateur athletes (i.e. Oregon/Oregon State football/basketball players)?
Friends dont let friends go to Oregon State, hell, even root for them.
by WashingtonDCduck on Oct 13, 2010 6:58 AM PDT reply actions
I don't think so
Its not illegal to give an amateur athlete money, it violates NCAA rules but not any laws.
This is why you don’t see Reggie Bush being prosecuted for accepting gifts from agents, its not illegal.

It is a crime to do that in other states...
But not Oregon. And that’s not a slam, some states have done it to prevent their hoops players from getting lured away (cough cough UNC Duke Wake Forest) by sleazy agents, in all likelihood…

UCLA that is, first they make their powder blue a dark blue and make it suck. Then they take away their shoulder stripes. Penn State has more exciting uniforms.

Wasn’t it 2006 Civil War where we wore highlight yellows and the Bavers wore blacks at Reser?
There is a precedent for sure. I think there was a rule where home has to wear colored and visiting has to wear white, at a penalty of one timeout per half unless it is agreed to in writing prior to the season starting.
I think there is another exception if you get both teams and the conference to agree to it. UCLA is an Adidas school, so I say screw them, let them burn a time out.

I am relatively sure they are wearing whit uniforms.
I have seen pictures of them; I will try to find a link.

It is true. The article doesn’t say they are wearing blue. It just says new jerseys, and has a picture of a blue concept.

for all we know, the Bruins will wear their shiny-new road jerseys this weekend?
I remember the only time Wisconsin wore all-red uniforms. WSU 2007; I was at that game, and we NEED to break those out again.

Da Rules
Contrasting Colors
ARTICLE 3. a. Players of opposing teams shall wear jerseys of contrasting
colors. Players on the same team shall wear jerseys of the same color and
design.
1. The visiting team shall wear white jerseys; however, the home team
may wear white jerseys if the teams have agreed in writing before the
season.
2. If the home team wears colored jerseys, the visiting team may also
wear colored jerseys, if and only if the following conditions have
been satisfied:
(a) The home team has agreed in writing prior to the game; and
FR-32 RULE 1-4 / THE GAME, FIELD, PLAYE RS AND EQUIPMENT
(b) The conference of the home team certifies that the jersey of the
visiting team is of a contrasting color.
3. If on the kickoff at the start of each half the visiting team wears a
colored jersey in violation of the conditions specified in Rule 1-4-3-
a-2 (above), it is a foul for unsportsmanlike conduct.
I bet if they wear blue, we are breaking out as the killer bees.
The question is
What uniform combo will look best in 3d, I’d like the killer bee uni too

I read last year that they got rid
of the only white on the road uni rule. It is different by conference, but last year the Pac10 decided to get rid of it, based on the requests of the member schools. So now teams can wear other colors on the road besides white, although that is still the most common practice.

One thing the Easterbrook DIDN'T mention...

The annoying thing is that people have a concept that it is undefended. Current existing defensive schemes are fine to defend against it. It’s that the players have to play very disciplined fundamentally, and the success of it is even better when you have great players with it – JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER OFFENSIVE SYSTEM OUT THERE.

It wasn’t leg, and you usually don’t hear about anything above the waist as career ending.

If you get multiple concussions

It happens all the time.
People break their necks, and go to work the next day, or go home for dinner, only to go to the doctor later because they feel like poop.
It is not necessarily in-patient, nor does it always require surgery, or halo type devices.
I heart taxes.
Also random things like a shattered wrist or elbow or collaborne injury
But we would know that by now.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Not to mention...
a broken spine would have resulted in more than a 24 hour visit to the hospital, even if it wasn’t life threatening. Also, doubt they would have allowed him to stand on his own on the field.
Im sure it's not career ending
CK would have said so. Anybody out for the season or beyond doesn’t get the DTD tag.

OT but you want to see crazy fans?
These dudes:
Police have detained 17 people including the alleged ringleader of rioting at the Italy-Serbia game, as UEFA warned that sanctions could be as serious as disqualification from the European Championship or exclusion from future competitions.
The match in Genoa on Tuesday was abandoned after seven minutes when Serbia fans threw flares and fireworks onto the pitch, burned a flag and broke barriers. Violent clashes continued through the night, and 16 people, including two policemen, were injured.
UEFA opened an investigation on Wednesday and its disciplinary panel will hear the case on Oct. 28.
Police found the alleged instigator of the rioting in the trunk of a bus that was due to take the Serbian fans home from the Euro 2012 qualifier. While his face was covered by a mask during the violence, police identified him by his tattooed arms and found explosive material with him.
Of the 17 people detained, 16 were Serbian fans and one was Italian, Genoa police official Sebastiano Salvo told The Associated Press.
Salvo identified the ringleader as 29-year-old Ivan Bogdanov, who climbed onto a barrier separating fans from the pitch, used a wire cutter to slice apart a mesh fence and launched fireworks onto the pitch.

Americans riot better after wins
I was in France when they won the 1998 World Cup, no one rioted. It was a bunch of really really really drunk happy people dancing on the streets and blaring their car horns all night.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
There's a fundamental difference.
In Euro soccer, the riots and general mayhem occur before and during the games. Not just afterwards.
She's a Cougar; he's a Duck.
Both agree: The Huskies Suck.
It's all plenty stupid.
And I wasn’t really being fair. The Hillsborough and Heysel disasters trump any of the cop cars Lakers fans might have burned, by a long shot. And they’re just the tip of the iceberg.
But the most endearing thing to me about soccer in general is, in fact, the overwhelmingly crazy fandom. The unfortunate side effect is fan violence.
Whereas, in America we reserve stupidity like that for, say, rock concerts.

I badly want to go to a Duck game in a snowstorm
but we only get snowstorms in late December or January.

Civil War = December 4, right?
That would be completely epic.
My name is Cliff Harris, and I’m here to lock shit down.

Good god
Why?? I could go through life happy having never been to a game in a snowstorm. If I wanted to watch football in the snow, I’d move to Green Bay.

CaDuck: The hand of Juju
Or Madison?
I went to an extremely snowy Battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe in 2008. Considering just how bad that Wisconsin team was, I should have been gotten PAID to attend that game.
It was fine for the first quarter or so. Then it got dark and it snowed…

I guess they were letting Locker try and get some garbage time stats to help out his "Heisman Chances".

Weren't those dashed to bits

Hey guys look over here!
oh wait, it’s just another Agents gone wrong in sports. But this one’s got a twist
"I was being a smartass." --TQA8. October 4th, 2010. 8:26 PM PDT.
Hooray for bye week tensions
i dont think you guys wanna read the war of words on twatter, but here’s the summary
1) Ducksportsnow buys the domain names ilovemyducks.com and ilovemyducks.net for 0.99 each via godaddy.com
2) Supwichugirl inquires about the availability of the domain names
3) DSM offers it to them for at least 4 figures.
4) Supwichugirl says in a very polite way, “fuck no.”
5) DSN puts the domain names up for live auction via twatter
6) Everyone’s pissed at DSN (including prehmmr and the oregon athletic department feed), especially at Jay Jones who apparently masterminded this.

hopefully they strike DSN with lightning bolts
maybe Jay Jones will buy ChileanMiners.com next

After a year the Sup' guys hadn't registered the names?
In 2010? I mean, the “ford.com” controversy was what, 15 years ago? Can’t help but say it’s all on them.

Still a dick move by DSN
Maybe they should focus on making their site work instead of trying to screw over S^WCGRRRRRRL
I credit my urine for the victory.
It's a dick move, sure, but is sandwichgirl.com still available?

Dear SportsCenter,
When you are opening a segment on “Top 10 teams on Upset Alert this weekend,” I wouldn’t expect you to show clips of a team that happens to be facing BYE.

Don't you know
that Oregon ALWAYS loses to Oregon this weekend? I swear, if Kelly can’t win this game he should just be let go.

Here's episode two of the "when should I wear Ducks Clothes"
Recap of episode 1: TQA8 going to Alabama+Tennessee game and deciding if he should wear Oregon gear. Verdict: No, he’ll get killed.
Episode 2: I was gifted a ticket to the USC-OSU game on November 20th (It’s our other bye week). Should I wear Oregon gear?
