Quack Fix: Men's hoops blown out again, women secure the W

I don't know about you, but I'm awfully grumpy in the morning before I've had my quack. Even when you're out of the good stuff and left with the bitter Kent face:
- The men's bricklaying team put forth another embarrassing shooting performance, connecting on a whopping 39% in a 70-57 loss to the Wildcats in Tucson. The game wasn't as close as the 13 point margin would have you believe. The description of events are unsurprising given how the season has gone: lots of bad shots, lots of turnovers, and horrible defense resulting in several UA dunks and layups. I'm really at a loss for words at this point in the season. We just suck.
- News was better on the women's side of things, as they netted a 92-74 decision over Arizona. Nia Jackson had 18 points, and Taylor Lilley had 15 and nine assists. After a midseason lull, the women's team has come back to win three in a row, and at 15-8 overall, and 6-5 in conference, a strong finish could mean there would be one Duck team dancing in March.
- Women's lacrosse starts tomorrow, with them playing the Jacksonville Dolphins at the bright and early time of 8AM Pacific. This is Jacksonville's first game as a Divison 1 lacrosse team, and the Ducks enter the season with high expectations after last season's second place MSPF finish. The game will stream on goducks.tv for those of you interested.
- Brian Cook, of mgoblog and blogpoll fame, has a nice piece up on why Pac-10 expansion won't happen (and, no, I don't just put this up because he links to ATQ). Basically, Brian says, expansion makes no sense without Colorado, and he doesn't think the Buffs will bite.
- Jon Wilner looks at the TV packages for WCC and Pac-10 men's basketball and comes to the only possible conclusion: the WCC has a better TV package for basketball than the Pac-10. That is an abolute embarrassment, and something that has to be rectified in the next contract. Basically, Larry Scott needs to get us onto ESPN and as far away from FSN as possible. Curse you, Tom Hansen.
Pretty slow morning for quack, so be sure to share with us when more comes out.

I went to the win against OSU at PGE Park. It was a ton of fun, and a great win.
Defensive battle the whole way, though OSU was having an easier time getting runners, we kept them in check and prevented them running up the score.

I’m hoping to get to one of their games against CSF down here next week. I’m going to be paying a lot more attention to the baseball team this year. Hopefully they can improve on last season. It sure would have been nice to see Matzek in Oregon though. That kid’s going to be very good.

We have one of the best bullpens in the Pac-10, and the Pac-10 is a very competitive league nationally in baseball.
If we can get more offensive production (I think we only had one player over 1.000 OPS last year), we can definitely be competitive against anyone, and have a chance to finish in the top half of the conference.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-N-O-B-A-L-L-S"
see, this "Ping" thing is why I hate amateur baseball.
It’s just a stupid sound to hear in a baseball game. “The doink of the bat”. Bleh.
Then again, I’m old enough to have played little league (actually, EBAA) in grade school with real pitchers and real wooden bats. (My nickname was “Keep The Trademark Up”.. not that I was at risk of breaking any bats.)
Teeball is for wusses. Might as well be “playing” “soccer.”
everything is history, eventually.
As soon as someone does a real study on metal bats being dangerous, they’ll be used at the Collegiate level.
I personally think it would benefit the players to learn how to hit with wooden bats at this level so they could improve any pro potential they have.

Word.
There was a show on Real Sports with Brian Gumble I believe,where they talked about metal bat research.
Some kid in Montana, pitcher, got blasted and killed with a come-backer. Parents sued but I don’t know the outcome.

I think that was like a slow-pitch softball league.

The problem is that the majority of reports on baseball related injuries don’t include if the bat was wooden or metal.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-N-O-B-A-L-L-S"
No. It WAS baseball. And the bat and the research was metal directed.
I’ll see if I can find some datum.
"We'll go."
I don’t doubt it, but one case isn’t a study, and most attempts of the study haven’t listed if the bat used was metal or wooden.
The assumption is that most little league players use metal bats because they are better balanced in their hand, so it is easier for them to swing. However, that isn’t always the case.

OK, 17 year old kid, damages awarded $850,000. All fact-no porn.
Several stories, this one local: http://www.flatheadbeacon.com/articles/comments/montana_jury_awards_850000_in_aluminum_bat_lawsuit/:
THE PHYSICS OF A LINE DRIVE:http://www.flatheadbeacon.com/articles/comments/montana_jury_awards_850000_in_aluminum_bat_lawsuit/
"We'll go."
That’s a bit of a frustrating story. That was one helluva lawyer in that case.
But, again, it’s only one story, and apparently a “Warning Label” would have saved that kids life. (Whatever)
One story isn’t a study, and I doubt any rule will be applied until there are few study that come to the consensus they are more danger.
From a physics perspective, the momentum isn’t going to change based upon the material of the bat, but of how fast the batter can swing a particular weight. The faster you can swing a heavier bat, the faster and further your results are. This is why steroids have had a major impact in baseball – more so than other sports.
Aluminum bats are not heavier than comparable wooden bats, but their center of gravity is lower, because the base around the handle has more material, whereas the center of gravity on a wooden bat is higher, and further out. It FEELS heavier than an aluminum bat. It’s like holding a jug of milk in closer to your body, or holding it out away from your body. The milk didn’t get heavier, but the CG is further from your frame, which gives less muscle groups for your body to work with.
With training, a player will strengthen the right muscle groups, and he’ll be accustomed to swinging a wooden bat.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-N-O-B-A-L-L-S"
OK, that's a pretty good explanation. Thank you. And.....
I didn’t mean to imply or suggest that the story was the ‘study.’ When I saw the original TV presentation (I guess it wasn’t Bryant Gumbel) there was considerable talk about studies that had been done by the several prominent bat companies, enuf so that they opine that the bat was within the acceptable parameters that had been established for safety. I didn’t have time to try to access that info tho’ it probably does exist and would be available for public perusal. What I dp recall is something about elasticity of the metal creating a kind of trampoline effect, because as you wrote above, the core of the bat head is hollow, hence the ‘ping’ when there isn’t the ‘wiff.’ Does this make any sense to you? Wooden bats are solid so the TE is nonexistent.
"We'll go."
they’ll be used at the Collegiate level.
They will be or they won’t be?

Basketball question
I don’t usually get to watch full games, but I’ve seen many highlights and I have to ask:
Is our layups/dunks made to layups/dunks given up ratio the worst in the nation? ESPN showed a 25 second highlight of the game last night. There were at least 4 UA dunks, and I might have lost count. How does that continue to happen?

They had a great plan to beat the zone once we went to it. Basically they would drive and dish when the defender came to help.

Yes, there’s a chance that games could be decided by the penalties. That’s the point of penalties. Don’t talk like there’s a viable “Penalize them in a not-affecting-the-outcome way” option.

But at some point, people have to realize that…
1. It’s a game.
2. Games are for fun.
3. Football is an emotional game.
If you’re David (Say, WSU) fighting Goliath (Say, USC), and amazingly they keep the game close, and a WSU corner picks off the QB, and runs free for a TD, and he does a little high-step into the end zone starting at the 10 yard line – I say let the kids play.
This isn’t peewee football when they are in their earliest stages of emotional development, they are young men that should be able to handle watching an opposing player somersault into the end zone.
If they aren’t happy that the opposing player got so free and they did a little victory move crossing the plane, they shouldn’t have let given them the opportunity.

What would the penalty be
If you ran into the end zone to score, pulled a rubber glove out of your pocket, put it over your head, and blew it up with your nose? Would the call change if you removed your helmet?
I’m not saying I like them. I think the celebration rules are too strict as it is. I’m saying that “penalty” is roughly equivalent to “something which might alter the outcome in the game in favor of the other team.” So quit acting amazed that this penalty they’re suggesting could alter the outcome of the game. That’s like acting amazed that, I dunno, Somali pirates could kill someone with those guns.

If Tom Hansen was still in charge...
Who do you think he’d bring into the Pac-12? We know he was a really progressive, innovative, modern thinker so I’m sure he would have expanded the Pac-10 in a bold, dynamic way.
My vote is for San Diego State and Eastern Washington. And that would have landed us a lifetime FSN deal to show every game on 3-hour delay with replays at 9:00 AM (Eastern) every third Tuesday if it’s a full moon and MASH reruns aren’t on. Also he’d increase revenue by signing a new deal that states the Pac-12 “Only plays for tips”

…ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I’m a lawyer defending a major record company, and I’m talkin’ about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you’re in that jury room deliberatin’ and conjugatin’ the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Lost makes as much sense as the Raiders draft. You walk away scratching your head, unsure if what you just saw was pure genius or the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen in your life. And while some people want you to believe it’s brilliant and there will be a huge payoff down the line, sorry, but we both know it was just fucking stupid.
Also...they both had runs of dominance but now, it's time to give it up.
Even though I really don’t know why Lost was ever the phenomenon that it was.

My take
The show is well written and well acted. The story is unique.
But here’s the problem: I shouldn’t have to do research to fully enjoy a TV show. I loved seasons 1 and 2 because I watched them on DVD. We watched entire seasons in the span of a couple weeks, so if Episode 2 had some little hint, I remembered it when something happened in Episode 13 that tied back to that hint.
Now? Yes, the writers have begun answering questions, but at this point, I’ve forgotten what the questions even were because they were asked 4 years ago and all we’ve been given is little hints. I shouldn’t have to go read 6 blogs to fully understand what’s going on.
I’m going to finish the show, just because I’m pot-committed at this point. And I think the payoff will be worth it. But the journey has been frustrating at times.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
It is much better when you don’t have to wait for a whole week, or several months to resume the story.
It’s kinda like reading a book, getting 1/4 way through, and then picking it back up a year later.

The story was written from beginning to end before they even filmed the first episode. There is a point, a direction a meaning to everything that has gone on. Not some stupid sitcom that changes writers every season to try and come up with a new way to have Joey and Rachel make out or George Clooney save another guy from shooting up the hospital.

But that works when you’re watching an episode a week. When you have to wait 7 months between episodes, it becomes really tough to remember all the minutia that they throw in there.

all the episodes are online and that is why it is good to take a week and rewatch the previous season prior to the new one starting. It’s like reviewing your Calculus I notes piror to going into Calc II.

EXACTLY!
I have ZERO desire to review notes or do research or make any extra effort in order to enjoy a TV show. It just shouldn’t be necessary.

Yeah, the show probably makes sense if you do your homework. It’s just not something I’m willing to take the time on for the sake of TV viewing.

kind of like a few book series
I have been reading, you can wait for years, and by the time then new book comes out you don’t remember what the hell was going on.
So, I came back to this thread to see if anyone had replied to my clock idea.
Good thing to know that I’ve single-handedly hijacked nearly the entire rest of the entire comments section!
I like LOST. Yes, Tako, that’s now three things that I find myself on the wrong side of, opinion-wise (Boise State, LOST, and PBR). I like Red Vines, and I hope that this is enough for you to tolerate my presence on the boards.
But seriously, though — can we get a clock? Is this at all possible? It doesn’t even have to be like the clock from LOST. A regular-old clock will do. Is there any kind of widget that would accomplish this?

In all seriousness
I think why I can’t get excited about soccer is the fact that are too many leagues and too many players playing for different leagues and teammates in one league are rivals in another and so on and so forth.
Do I watch English Premier League, or FIFA, or MLS or World Cup? I mean the game seems rather boring in and of itself to me so that when you add in a complexity of trying to figure out who and what to root for, I get even more disnterested.
I guess if I grew up surrounded by the importance of the team and league associated with my geographical identity then I’d probably care more, but I didn’t. I watched basketball and football and stopped playing soccer as soon as I found out that those other sports were more fun.

soccer would be watchable if they got rid of (or maybe loosened up on) the offisides rule and shrunk the field down so it isn’t soooo big.
This would make it more exciting. It’s the same thing with NHL Hockey vs. International Hockey.

I watched it
It really isn’t pretty. It wasn’t graphic but knowing what’s going on and the result makes it worse. It happens incredibly fast, but seeing a body ragdoll into a pole at almost 100 mph isn’t good. You can find it if you want, but I’m not posting a link. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Apparently
This particular luge run has been identified by the racers as being especially dangerous because it is possible to reach speeds in excess of 100 mph, whereas most luge runs are in the 70-80 range. Also most runs level out toward the end, but this one is balls to the walls downhill the whole way.
