Quack Fix: Baseball suffers first loss of season, TS&G wins home debut, no football players arrested or dismissed in 16 hours

Well, I'm glad that weekend's over. From arrests and dismissals on the football team, to the basketball teams getting swept, it needed to end.

As always, share any quack below. GO DUCKS!

TS&G!

I think that the baseball team is going to be much improved this year. A year of experience plus some new guys that can hit is going to translate to more runs. I wouldn’t be surprised if they finished with a .500 record.

.500 is asking for a lot

The Ducks offense is better, but still not good and the pitching depth is suspect. Oregon will be a little better in the early going because their offense puts a lot of pressure on defenses and defenses are always poor early in the year. As the year goes on and teams’ defenses tighten up though, the runs will be hard to come by for Oregon. The Ducks are making positive strides and are right on track for where they want to be, but .500 this year is asking for A LOT.

Agreed. Today, the Ducks are capitalizing big time on errors today. That will not always be the case.

WTF is going on with you guys in your offseason? Personally, I blame it on the fact that you somehow (despite yourselves) managed to overthrown the CGB colonial government.

See what happens when you try and govern yourselves? You should have learned from all those scrub countries that got rid of the British. Leave the dictating and running things to the grown ups, and you children play your games. It works better that way.

Instead, I’ll just remind you that while you may be our new ursine overlords, we have like 80-some guys on our roster that will kick your ass. I don’t mean “on the field,” mind you — I’m not confident that we’ll have 11 players still on the team come November — I mean that that they will come to your house and they will choke you / punch you / hit you repeatedly in the foot with their faces.

Incidentally, I submit immediately to our ursine overlords, because I am weak and slow. Just in case there was any confusion about that.

I think the first draft didn’t sound controversial and inflamtory enough when it was “Hey some individual duck players are making some stupid mistakes and Kelly is being consistent with his punishment” So it had to be “Kelly’s lost control of the team.”

Here’s the bright side of all this. You know this is nearing an end when Canzano has picked it up. That guys is never right.

My "favorite" part of that article

came when he condemned Kelly for wanting to wait till the facts are out on the LMJ situation with something along the lines of, “Hey Coach, he’s already been jailed, charged and out on bail. Doesn’t that sound like facts to you?” I would quote it exactly…but I’m not taking my site traffic back to that turdball.

Uh, no John, that actually DOESN’T constitute the facts being out on the situation. Evidently civics lessons about presumption of innocence do not form an integral component of journalism school.

My favorite part is that Kelly should respond, regardless of whether or not he lost the trust in his team. Because the desire to please John Canzano should be so great, that you shouldn’t care if its the right thing to do or not.

I love how one day he says Kelly needs to do something to control the football team and he’s not handing out stiff punishments. But now that Holland is kicked off for violating team rules, that penalty is too stiff and if he caught a few more balls, he wouldn’t have been kicked off.

I think that this is a very harsh sentence, and that’s good. These types of actions won’t be tolerated at Oregon.

That said, Kelly (as we saw through the Blount thing) wants to help facilitate the improvement of his players. Holland displayed time and again that he was unable to improve his behavior. He was given multiple chances, and though he didn’t screw up in a massive way, he did the same shit over and over.

In Alonso’s case, I’m assuming this is his first run-in with team rules. He will pay the price for his actions, and if he makes it through the year without playing, and works his ass off, he’ll be a better person for it, and deserves another shot at football.

I think this is as good a balance that can be achieved between doling out severe punishment and giving these young men second chances at their life.

Somebody above mentioned the Duke lacrosse team and that’s a perfect example of the media’s tendency to prematurely condemn these kids. How much longer before we don’t have to deal with Canzano? Seriously…come on ESPN you know you want him on Around the Horn so you can have him with the East Coast Canzano (Jay Mariotti) and other blow-hards like Bill “Derek Jeter’s the best player ever because he’s a gamer” Plaschke. Please Bristol…take him away from us!

I’m too lazy to look but I bet there’s an article from last year talking about how Jamere Holland shouldn’t be given so many chances to stay with the team…not John is sticking up for poor Jamere because of his right to say what he wants on his Facebook page. If this were JUST about the Jamere Holland situation I would be t everything I own on Canzano’s article this morning being about Chip making the decision because these social networking things like Twitter and Facebook are being abused by college athletes and coaches have to take a stand on it.

Disband the team and start over again, recruiting a fresh 85

by Brian Floyd on Feb 22, 2010 1:30 PM PST up reply actions  

Since you asked..

CK should have suspended LMJ from active participation in team activities pending the outcome of his legal situation. Not dismissed, but suspended.

This is not a hard line to take. “Innocent until proven guilty” is the rule in a legal situation. In employment — and in a situation where playing intercollegiate sports is, ultimately, a privilege — the rules are not the same.

I have employees, who are in public situations, and are required to maintain standards of decorum and personal conduct. They are representatives of the organization I work for.. They know that if they get into any kind of public legal trouble their employment status could be in jeopardy.

Ultimately, it’s a judgement call, and one I don’t like to make. But a while back I discovered one morning, while reading the local paper, that one of our employees had been caught in an “indecent activity” crackdown at a local park. He was one of several local citizens arrested by the sheriff’s office for soliciting sexual activity or indecent exposure. His picture, along with the other accused, was on the front page of the paper.

We had to let him go. It was not advantageous to us to do so — in football terms, he was our LMJ — but we already had the policy, everyone who worked there understood and signed off on it when they were hired, and we couldn’t afford not to enforce it.

Mind you, he was not convicted of a crime (and many, myself included, thought the bust was unfair and a waste of law enforcement time). He was charged, booked, and released. It didn’t matter.

Harsh? Yes.

I’m not saying CK should dismiss James. Keep him on scholarship. But making a definitive statement that you’re sitting him down, pending the outcome of the situation, is both reasonable and appropriate in my opinion. If the process drags out and he has to burn a redshirt, let it happen.

Regarding Alonso: Getting busted for drunk driving is even more clear-cut than being accused of domestic violence, because in this case it’s the word of a law enforcement officer as witness, with hard evidence in the form of a breathalyzer. Alonzo is under-age. If there aren’t some kind of team rules for a case like this there damn well should be.

As for Holland, anyone who thinks that he was dismissed solely because of something he wrote on Facebook has not been paying attention to his career. I’m sure Bellotti had some influence here — he was the one who took Holland back in the first place. But CK was stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one. Ignore the situation and let it fester, or cut out the cancer.

My issue with Canzano in all this is that he thinks the public has a right to know, up front, how all these team rules work, presumably so the media, as a representative of The Public (i.e., Canzano) can determine whether the rules are being applied according to its own (Canzano’s) standards. Which is absurd.

everything is history, eventually.

by benzduck on Feb 22, 2010 2:45 PM PST up reply actions  

It's a state university.

And while I think Clownzano is simply raking muck, I wouldn’t qualify it as ‘absurd’ that the public should presume to know team rules.

by HoodRiverDuck on Feb 22, 2010 2:48 PM PST up reply actions  

The absurd part is why Clownzano wants CK to make public all his decisions regarding players.

If CK doesn’t make these public, Canzano can’t criticize the decisions. This frustrates him, because all he can do is criticize the fact that CK doesn’t give him something else to criticize.

everything is history, eventually.

by benzduck on Feb 22, 2010 2:52 PM PST up reply actions  

I should also say

I agree with suspending LMJ, but if he gets cleared and reinstated, CK is still screwed. He “suspended” LGB for the season, and although I agree with the way he handled it in the end, his re-instatement of LGB is Argument #1 for the Inconsistency Police all over the O-Live/ESPN boards.

by HoodRiverDuck on Feb 22, 2010 2:56 PM PST up reply actions  

It doesn’t have to be the same type of suspension. Blount was only prevented from playing in games. I’m saying suspend LMJ from football activities until this is resolved.

by AllSaintsDay on Feb 22, 2010 2:52 PM PST up reply actions  

I disagree with you, not just about this specific instance, but in general principle. I don’t think that people accused of crimes should necessarily have their livelihood (or in this case, football scholarship) taken away, especially when the facts are not know, and I would say that LMJ’s situation falls under this category.

In my mind, there is little to no downside to waiting. If he’s guilty, he will be punished accordingly. If he’s innocent, then he the damage done to him will be minimal.

If games were coming up, it would be much more difficult situation, as James would miss a lot of practice time, etc. But at this point, there is no reason for Kelly to officially change James’ status.

Suspending James at this point does nothing for James, and doesn’t accomplish much for the University.

Sure, but I still think you need to make sure all the facts are in. And we don’t know the facts.

I don’t think that anyone should lose their job/scholarship simply based on a single persons accusation. There may be more evidence, and that evidence will come out very soon, and a more informed decision will be made by the coaching staff I’m sure. But until that point, making a decision this quickly can only do harm.

by jtlight on Feb 22, 2010 3:35 PM PST up reply actions  

And we don’t know the facts.

Exactly right. I am as certain as I can possibly be that CK knows more than any of us including Clownzano. Especially Clownzano.

There are plausible and obvious alternative stories to the LMJ (crazy ex-GF) and Masoli (drunk frat boy) situations.

There is a plausible alternative story to being an idiot on Facebook (hacked login/password), but Holland had a track record of stupidity dating back to his days at USC.

There is not a plausible alternative story to underage drunken driving.

For the record: I have absolutely no problem with the way CK is handling all this. I would also have absolutely no problem if he suspended LMJ indefinitely. Because I don’t know what CK knows.

Also for the record: I had reservations about him reinstating LGB, but his explanation was sincere enough to give him the benefit of the doubt.

All that being said, it grows tiresome to support a team comprised of a certain critical mass of criminals and idiots. I stopped caring about nearly all pro sports long ago for the same reason: enough pro athletes are outright assholes both on and off the field that the good ones can’t outshine them.

I don’t want to get there with my Ducks. Really, I don’t. But this week made it a distinct possibility.

I’ve traveled to at least one game (in style, mind you) each of the past five seasons. If this kind of garbage keeps up, I’m not going to be making any such trips in the foreseeable future.

Depends on the job (see above), and the crime.

Suspending LMJ would not be “losing his job”. Keep him on scholarship, make him stay in school, but — unlike Blount — do not let him do anything football related.

Don’t take away his scholarship.

You are thus making a statement, while ensuring he can stay in school (at least if the freaking county judge can get his head out of his ass long enough to comprehend the implications of that particular situation).

The fact that there are no games coming up make this an easier situation, and makes Suspending From Football Activities A Player Who Is Charged With Domestic Violence a reasonable thing to do.

And I disagree: This would, in fact, accomplish quite a bit for the university.
