Quack Fix: Ducks fall short in comeback bid, Beavers want to play spoiler, and 5 other high-stakes Civil Wars

Email
PrintClose your eyes, take a deep breath, and reflect on another impressive Oregon season. Feel better? Good. Now enjoy your final regular season Morning Quack Fix:
- The Oregon men's basketball team, who trailed 44-24 at the half, came just short of notching an impressive comeback, falling to No. 9 Missouri, 83-80, last night at Mac Court. Behind E.J. Singler's career-high 19 points, the Ducks outscored the Tigers 56-39 in the second half, but Johnathan Loyd's 30-footer at the buzzer fell short. Despite the loss, it's clear new head coach Dana Altman has this team going in the right direction.
- With only a day to go before the 114th Civil War, more important than the previous 113, the hype machine is in full effect. And despite players and coaches on both sides downplaying the bitter rivalry, make no mistake: The Beavers want to spoil the Ducks' party. Ted Miller discusses how OSU could pull it off, "could" being the operative word.
- Of course, this year's Civil War isn't the only time in 113 meetings that the two teams have played for high stakes. Here are five others.
- Oregon special teams coordinator Tom Osborne is, well, special. And he's a finalist for an award to recognize what has to be a pretty thankless job at times. Kudos to Coach Osborne.
- As the Pac-10 continues to beat itself up, it might have actually done itself a favor this time. Arizona State's James Brooks blocked not one, but two PATs to lead the Sun Devils to a double-overtime win over in-state rival Arizona, 30-29, last night in Tuscon. ASU will become the fourth bowl-eligible Pac-10 team if their waver request is approved by the NCAA. Two other teams are vying for a berth this weekend: Washington (hosting Wazzu) and Oregon State. But let's be honest, the latter ain't happenin'. So, for the good of the conference, go Huskies?
- Speaking of the Pac-10's lack of bowl-eligible teams, SI's Stewart Mandel examines the conference's round-robin schedule and the effect it has on the postseason.

Did you see the Zendejas walking off the field? He immediately starting running to the locker room and the cameras were showing him, then he stopped and ran over to the wall. I think he was getting into with some fans. How much of this can be chalked up to bad Juju from talking smack to Chip?

That was the 1st thing I thought.
Shouldn’t have messed with JuJu young man. Your mom probably taught you not to point your finger at people. It’s not polite. Now go prepared to embarass the Pac-10 again in your annual post-season spanking that will be dished out to you in your Bowl game.

I don’t’ care about reputation, screw the huskies I hope the lose 20 to 4. I couldn’t take another off season hearing about how they will compete for the PAC title. I want them so demoralized they cry themselves to sleep each night with no hope for a better life.

Yes but
The more PAC-12 teams in the bowls, the better. If we can get 5 teams in, rather than only 4, it might stop some (well, who am I kidding, really only a few) of the SEC homers from screaming about how Oregon doesn’t deserve to go to the NC becuase the PAC only sent 4 teams to bowls.
To be honest though, I do hate the SEC as much as Washington. I gotta stop I’m wasting all my good hate on things other than OSU.

Even if they win, just remember this: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/pac10/2008-12-06-washington-cal_N.htm

Yea but whats more important
Stopping ignorance in the ignorance capital of the world or watching Washington hit absolute rock bottom (not 0-12 rock bottom but itll be close). I do root for the Pac, but cant do it for Washington!
I'm not rooting for them
But I won’t be unhappy if they win, is all.
Absolutely. I can go with the “it’s good for the Pac 10” theory with every team except the fuskies. I hope the Cougs beat them down.

I don't even see why the Fuskies becoming bowl-eligible is a net gain for the PAC in terms of reputation.
I have no faith at all that they can win the PAC’s second-best non-BCS bowl tie-in. Hell, I don’t even think it’ll be competitive.

Blocked Kicks at AZ
I didn’t see the first one, but the second “blocked” kick was kicked extremely flat, and probably was blocked by the back of an Arizona player.
That smart aleck kicker got some karma last night for sure. Being cocky has its rewards, some of which aren’t very pleasant.
The first one wasn’t quite as low as the 2nd one, but it was too low for an XP. Let’s put it this way: it was blocked by a defensive lineman who lined up over the center and just jumped as high as he could. He didn’t get a bunch of penetration or anything. The kickers have to elevate XP’s.

by MarineCorpsDuck on Dec 3, 2010 7:57 AM PST up reply actions
They planned for it
I read something on ESPN this morning that said that ASU saw from film that the kicker was consistently kicking low, and they practiced to block him. Whether that’s true or not, it was still good defense.

The duck is like a marathon runner. A steady pace and always moving. ODU goes in spurts they sprint/walk. In the world of track ODU would be known as a Sprocker (sprinter + walker) and as we Track Town USA well informed fans know, Sprockers never win races against consistent opponents. Keep being consistent and give a big kick in the end. We can still take this! Keep voting!
Quack Quack Bitches!
It seems like the pattern has been pretty consistent. We catch up to them in evening and then go up big overnight. They catch up around 6 – 7 AM (Pacific time) and then go up big by around 10 AM PDT, because that’s when they do their mob vote. We hang with them for awhile and then start gaining ground by early afternoon. Then the cycle starts all over.
This timing actually works okay for us. It would be ideal to end it at midnight Eastern, but if we can build a big enough overnight lead, we can hang on Monday morning for the win.

In the Marines
it’s just “PUSH”. In that Army they tell you how many to do. In the Marines, as a Drill Instructor, we just say “PUSH”…with the understanding that the person will do pushups until I decide they look tired enough. Often times I would require a recruit to do pushups either on the quarterdeck or in a “pit” (a sand box specifically for “incentive training”) and draw a circle in the sand. The person would be done with their pushups once said circle in the sand was completely wet from the sweat that dripped from their forehead. As you can imagine, this is normally not a short process…especially in San Deigo where it is so hot that half your sweat-drenched-circle will dry up if you don’t get a good sweat going.
In that case, I’d make them do pushups until I could tell that they couldn’t do another one…and then tell them to do mountain climbers (pushup position, head and eyeballs to the front, “run” in this position where you touch your left knee to your left elbow, right knee to your right elbow, repeat), or some other exercise. Fun time.
I don’t know if Daisy would make it though, because she might not want to hurt him…she might be nice and sweet.

1. I’d make a great Marine.. You’ll have to trust me on this.
2. If Prada made combat boots, they’d be the most kick ass combat boots in the UN.

I'm so confused why is Oregon playing 12 games this season
and Auburn. Nebraska, Florida, Oklahoma, Virginia, Nevada, etc. playing 13?
by ireallylikejerrydbayless on Dec 3, 2010 10:06 AM PST reply actions
All teams who play in championship games, or a road game at Hawaii, play a 13th game.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Okay how is that considered fair if those teams win or lose a extra game
and then end up passing or falling behind a team that plays 12?

Okay how is that considered fair
You expect the BCS to be fair?
Seriously though, it’s pretty much universally known that having a Conference Championship game is a big advantage. So, in short, it’s not fair. However, you can argue the opposite as well. Ohio State got into a couple of NCG’s because they were done and didn’t have a Conf Championship game while the teams ranked above them lost in their Conf Championship games.

This and...
The fact with the extra game most conferences that have a championship usually schedule a 4th OOC game with a patsy helping to pad their win/loss record. Whereas the pac-12 plans on continuing schedule 9 conf games per team
Stick your Duck in a Trojan, they burst under pressure.
It’s going to be even harder to get 2 BCS teams after this year, in my opinion, party because of this. We know that having 9 conference games versus 8 guarantees 5 more losses in the conference right now. I’m guessing it means 6 in the future and I’m too lazy to do the math right now. But also, it guarantees that the top team in one of the 2 divisions is going to go into the bowl season with another loss. This screwed Missouri over bad in 2007, when they won their division over Kansas, went to the Big 12 CG and lost to Oklahoma, and watched Kansas go to a BCS bowl game over them.

Here’s an interesting quote from Bob Stoops, where he basically says that if you are looking like you are already in the National Championship Game, a Conf Championship game sucks. But if you aren’t, it is a good thing.
“I’m sure Bo probably feels the same way I do. If you’re not in the top one, two or three in the National Championship picture, for instance there have been many other years that we’ve been looking at the National Championship game after this. So that team that you’re going to see won’t be playing. They’re sitting at home relaxing while you have this huge game in front of you. You don’t like it and you think why in the world are we doing this? In these kind of years, it’s exciting as heck. It’s what you want, you really look forward to it and it’s a special environment to play in. The players are excited, the fans are. These kind of years you really love it so it’s a kind of catch 22 depending on the year you’re having.”

The SEC has a West and East division. They are the SEC West champs. If South Carolina beats Auburn this weekend, South Carolina gets the SEC’s automatic BCS bid and are the official champs, even though they’d have a way worse record. This is how the Pac 12 will be too.

In the Pac 10 they would be. But 12-team conferences have conference championships because they don’t play every other team in the conference. In this case, Auburn’s already played SC, but that doesn’t always happen.

Chip Kelly has come out on record as saying he’s against it for competitive reasons, and he’s absolutely right. When you play every other team in the conference, the champion IS the champion. They’ve beaten who they need to beat. When you don’t play everyone, you can’t say that. And we already know the transitive property doesn’t work in college football. Otherwise Purdue would be better than Purdue.
From a monetary standpoint, it’s a big deal, since conference championship games are cash cows.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Just for the record, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS, the World Cup, NCAA volleyball, NCAA men’s basketball, NCAA women’s basketball, NCAA baseball, and NCAA softball have never had a true champion.
Or else the notion that “the champion IS the champion” fails to hold outside of a round robin is wrong.
I’m going to go with the latter.

Well, you could make that argument for divisions in MLB, NBA, NFL, etc. since each of those divisions plays every other team in their division. NCAA men’s basketball could crown division champs simply by using in-conference records. They don’t because people like tournaments.
Anyway, I like the concept of the round robin in college football conferences. If it doesn’t work, oh well. It’s not a big deal.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
since each of those divisions plays every other team in their division.
So…just like the SEC/Big 12/Pac-12/next year’s Big Integer?
I mean, I like the concept of a round robin too. But divisions and a sufficiently large playoff (8 for MLB, 12 for NFL, and the way-more-than-sufficient 64 65 68 for NCAA basketball) are also a perfectly legitimate way to crown a champion.

I’m not saying they’re not. But a round robin does it better, IMO. You get close enough with other methods that it’s not a big deal. I’m just saying I understand Kelly’s desire for a round robin. I think it’s the BEST method. It doesn’t mean other are invalid.

I guess this
When you play every other team in the conference, the champion IS the champion. They’ve beaten who they need to beat. When you don’t play everyone, you can’t say that.just felt to me like you’re calling into question the validity of other methods.

Yes. If we were already a 12-team conference this year, and we won the Civil War, we’d still have to play the winner of the other Division. In this case it would be Stanford.

Stanford will be in the Pac-12 North. I think it would be SC if they win, but they can’t go to the playoffs so it would be AZ or Utah, but who knows what Utah would have done.

The Huskies are simply beneath the Ducks at this point. They’ve been that way for the last 7 years. They’re not worth our consideration or our time. Why even think about a team that is fighting to become barely bowl eligible when the Ducks could and should go to the National Championship game.

I don't know about any of y'all..
.. but I don’t seem to be getting any meaningful work done today.
Stayed away from here as long as I could. Thought that would help. Nope.
On the other hand, Caller ID is great. If I know the caller is a barkrat honk, the greeting is “Hi. 65-38. Can I help you? Oh, and Jeremiah Johnson just scored another touchdown..” By the end of which, the caller has hung up. Less work for me.
That's "Senator Lazypants" to you, son.
They're replaying the 2008 CW on CSN
I had forgotten DT threw a pass in that game.
Also, we just went up 37-10 at the half in the replay in the best two play sequence in Oregon history.

Sorry
But the best two play sequence in Oregon history is the Pick and the subsequent kickoff from the 5 after the celebration penalties.
So many entendres. So little time.
Not that JJ and WT3 weren't awesome, of course
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
So many entendres. So little time.
I just look the look on the Bieber fan faces
Abject horror.

That pass from DT was awesome. It was definitely a harbinger of things to come. He had a defender right in his face when he threw that ball and it was on the money.

wasnt the Oregon/UCLA game the highest? and Oregon/Cal was highest rated on Versus i believe.

Also cool
The Ducks have scored exactly 1,800 points through the first 113 Civil War games. OSU 1,410.

Sundevil bowl waiver DENIED
No shock.

I am out of the loop
Why do they need a waiver?
Games against FCS teams...
…don’t count toward bowl eligibility.

There should be no reward for playing 2 FCS teams in a season.

While I agree with this, the problem is that there is no penalty for teams to pull out of games at the last minute. ASU was screwed over when San Jose St. took a larger paycheck to go get smoked by Wisconsin. That late in the game it’s difficult to find an FBS opponent.
I think there needs to be some modification of the rule. Either teams need to be penalized more heavily for pulling out of games after a certain drop dead date. Or teams need to be granted leeway for when this happens. I think ASU deserved the waiver. They would probably have beaten SJSU and been legitimately bowl eligible.

I agree with you.

I don’t think there needs to be a modification of the rule. I think there needs to be a modification of the waiver process. This is the sort of thing I’d rather be decided on a case-by-case basis than with some broad rules.
I can tell you one thing: the grass in Tiger Stadium tastes the best.
The Oregon Ducks once took a delay of game penalty, just to see how it felt.
Played three top five teams very, very close.

But for the officials screwing them
ASU could be 7-5 with a win over Stanford.

Can Abbrederis shoot the long three and effectively distribute the ball to his big men?

OK
I know they are better than a 6-6 team should be, but still, you have to win the games. I wouldn’t really have cared if they had granted the waiver, but if you can’t go .500 against D-1 opponents, for whatever reason, then tough.
Agreed
A better ASU team would not have been in those positions.
And since Erickson “shared” the PAc 10 in 2007, he’s not gotten consistent offensive production.

How many bowl eligible SEC teams played worse OOCs than ASU did?
I mean, I know I have to doublecheck every time I see Arkansas State to see that it’s actually in the Sun Belt. Was ASU really less deserving of a bowl than Kentucky or Tennessee?
I agree that if it was just their choice to go with 2 FCS opponents, they shouldn’t get the waiver. But SJSU royally screwed them over, and they didn’t really have a choice.
I mean, the NCAA just shredded the rulebook to let a kid play after his dad tried to get TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS for his services (and may have gotten it – the investigation’s not over). And yet they couldn’t toss ASU a bone? Fuck the NCAA.

This was under ASU's control.
They needed to win one more game. That’s all.

Is there a petition we can all sign to get Adelson at least be considered to be fired from ESPN?
Check out her mailbag answer:
Anthony in Grand View, Idaho, writes: Why wouldn’t Boise State get matched up against and quality 1-2 loss team like LSU, Michigan State or even three-loss teams such as ‘Bama or Big 12 championship game loser? It’s sad that they might get barely bowl eligible teams like Miami or Boston College?
Adelson: No one-loss non-AQ has ever gotten an at-large bid, and the chances are slim that would happen this year. Why? The BCS games prefer to take a team from the automatic qualifying conferences with an at-large spot. Remember, the system is tilted toward those conferences.
Seriously? It’s pretty damn clear that guy was just wondering why Boise State can’t be matched up against a GOOD team that is NOT GOING TO BE IN A BCS Bowl game.
Sorry to rant. I hate this “journalist” more than OSU and UW combined after reading some of her stuff throughout the year.
I can’t stand “journalists” who work their little agenda into everything they write.

I can't stand that ESPN pushes this agenda.
That’s the thing about this “fire Adelson” talk – the woman they had before her did the exact same thing. It’s obviously what she’s getting paid to do, and she wouldn’t be writing like this if it weren’t at least encouraged, if not required by her eds. Here’s the thing – she writes non-AQ blogs, and those readers eat this up with a spoon, they need someone to keep polishing that enormous chip on their shoulder. Try reading a lot of Chirs Low – the SEC smarminess is almost sickening. And if Low quit, the next guy would be the same way. Even Ted Miller gets Pac-10 homery on occasion (and he is awesome). The point is, I doubt Adelson goes to bed each night cradling a framed photo of Cletus aka Kellen Moore. They’re paying her to do what she does, and she’s really just doing her job.
A better cause would be "hey, ESPN, stop crying about non-AQs just for the sake of “controversy” already.

True, but Adelson is either super-disingenuous or really, really stupid
She’s made some comments which were so absurd that they fall far, far below ordinary beat-writer-homerism levels. There’s no way Miller would be that obnoxious (or utterly stupid).

The highlight video has been on almost every week since the beginning of September. I hear they only have two segments left to finish.
Has been on where?
