Quack Fix: Oregon women bring home a national championship, Eaton sets a world record, baseball wins series

PrintLots of quack to get to after a busy weekend. But let's hope the future is a bit quieter than recent weeks, as it seems that the Ducks legal problems are in the past.
- The Oregon track and field teams were stellar this weekend. The Oregon women won the indoor track and field national championship at this weekend's meet in Fayetteville, Ark. The women (without head coach Vin Lananna, who was forced to stay at home due to health reasons) went into the second day of the meet with only 13 points, but stormed back, getting another 48 points, and beating second place Tennessee by 25 points.
- On the men's side, Ashton Eaton immortalized his already storied Oregon career, setting a world record in the indoor Heptathlon. Eaton PR'd the 1,000 meter race by over 4 seconds to set the record, which was previously set by Dan O'Brien in 1993. Eaton not only beat the old world record by 25 points, but beat his own record by 243. Simply a dominating performance by one of the best athletes to ever attend Oregon. Eaton's performance helped the Oregon men tie for second in the national meet with 44 points. They had hoped to finish with over 40 points, which they did, but fell to Florida who accumulated 57 points.
- The Oregon baseball team had a good weekend, winning a series against Seattle U, whose program has just been re-established this season. Unfortunately, the Ducks couldn't complete the sweep, and only won 3 out of 4. They were undone on Sunday by errors once again, as a passed ball allowed a three up, three down inning to continue, and Seattle took an early 3-0 lead, and Oregon fell 6-4. However, the Ducks still sit at 12-6 and have a good deal of momentum as Pac-10 play nears.
- With all the talk surrounding Jeremiah Masoli and LaMichael James, we may be overlooking the end of the Ernie Kent era. The Ducks were unsurprisingly left out of the NIT, and are not part of the 16-team CBI field. And just like that, what may be Ernie Kent's last season comes to an unceremonious end.
- The Pac-10 got two teams into the NCAA tournament. Washington won the Pac-10 tourney, and likely wouldn't have gotten in otherwise, as they were given an 11 seed. Cal, the winner of the conference regular season is an eight seed. We will be having an ATQ bracket challenge with prizes involved. Details will be posted in the next day or two, so be ready to enter when we post all the details!
- I'm not always a fan of Nick Daschel's writing, but he's done a very good job of looking at the recent Oregon legal troubles. His latest piece says its not time to judge Chip Kelly. And he's very right. As much as opposing fans will opine on how Oregon is headed towards disaster, these statements are absurdly premature. At this point, it looks like Kelly has taken the right steps, and time will tell if those steps bring about the desired result.
- In a bit of on the field football news, Rob Moseley continues his spring previews with a look at the defensive line. With fan concerns about the position, this will obviously be watched closely during practices.
There's sure to be a lot of other quack floating around, so share yours below. GO DUCKS!

Cool, thanks. I am going for sure this year. I am really interested in seeing Costa first-hand to see if he passes the eyeball test physically. Last year when he was in the game he just seemed like he was a half-step slow, or favoring his knee. I don’t know. If he looks strong I’d favor him being the starter at the beginning of the year. With the whole O-Line back our running game should be insane. We may just need a Trent Dilfer type QB that won’t turn the ball over and can make some plays when we need them.
Who knows though…DT clearly has all the potential in the world. If he ends the Spring showing that he can make the right decisions at the right times I might change my tune. I want to watch the Spring game so I can see them both first hand, and so I can see Diante Jackson and some others in action.

As much as I wish this were true, I think we’re going to need a guy who’s capable of being a game-changer, if not a consistent stud. The Trent Dilfer, Kerry Collins-types who wind up winning Super Bowls do so because their team’s defense is outstanding. Oregon has a solid defense, but it’s not going to shut good offenses down. This team will still be in its fair share of shootouts (like the Arizona and Stanford games). They’re going to need a QB who can consistently make plays.
That’s why I think most people are favoring Thomas to get the nod. Costa will be fine against the UCLA’s and the UW’s, but might not be able to hang enough points on some solid offensive teams when the defense has a tough game. Thomas will almost certainly be more inconsistent, but seems like he has greater big game potential.

The running game only works so well because of the threat of the duel QB. Masoli was perfect. Let’s hope DT can be as well. Costa is not.

But if Costa starts, the offense will adapt. Look at what Chip Kelly put together for Roper in the Sun Bowl. Whether it’s Costa or Thomas, the zone read-heavy gameplan we saw with Masoli is gone. The running game didn’t suffer with Dixon, we just used more two back sets and used the pass to set up the run more. Granted, we had J-Stew, but still.
They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

Who knows Costa isn't a dual threat?
If the knee is better, he has plenty of wheels. Granted, knee #12 may not be better, but I think it’s too early to say he’s just gonna sit in the pocket.

by Bill Musgrave on Mar 16, 2010 5:27 AM PDT up reply actions
He actually is, I just think it's a fair assumption that we will lose most of the zone-read game that we executed so well with Masoli
Which is fine, as long as we get something to fill that void. Maybe in the way of downfield passing and some nice rollouts for Costa to make decisions on his feet.

I have a Ropert is God™ complex.
If the knee is good to go, I don't think the zone read drops off much.
I think the run over the muthafucking DB drops off, yes, but not necessarily the read.
Anyway, it is likely the knee is not where it was when Costa was being talked up as the next great UO QB, but I’m just saying, the guy was recruited to run as well as pass, and he’s got to be smart enough for the read part of zone read.

Oh he's certainly experienced and smart enough with it.
But I think simply the coaches won’t let him carry the ball as much as they did with Masoli. He also will probably give the ball off a whole lot more too.

His reading of the option in that game was terrible.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
I recall his reads being poor at some points, but also making some key runs on 4th downs and pressure situations.
It may have been dorky, but he certainly had bright spots running in that game. I watched a video of the game yesterday and he had some nice runs in clutch situations. Then of course he would scramble to the left, start moving right, then throw a pick off his back foot trying to be Jared Zabransky from across the field. That was the part that was his failure in that game.

The running game only works so well because of the threat of the duel QB. Masoli was perfect. Let’s hope DT can be as well. Costa is not.
I really disagree with this.
You can run our offense with not-so-fast QBs effectively. The difference is that a quicker QB can take a 5, 6, or 7 yard gain and turn it into a 15, 20, 30 yard gain.
Success is based upon the QB’s ability to make the right choice that exploits the defense.
To say it “Only works so well” is a wrong analysis of Oregon’s offense.
My problem with Roper was never his speed. It was that he didn’t make the read correctly.
The ONLY concern I have with Costa is durability, not his speed.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
And let me be clear, my original post was not about Costa’s speed or whatever. Based on what we’ve seen (in limited time) from Costa, the impression is that he’s solid. He’s a good game manager and he can make some good plays. But his arm didn’t look great against UCLA and it’s doubtful he can run the zone read as well as Masoli, even if he’s just as fast.
If Costa winds up winning the job, good for him, and the offense will be fine. Kelly will design the offense to take advantage of Costa’s strengths and minimize the effects of his weaknesses. Just based on reports and the small sample we’ve seen from each, it looks like Thomas is the better overall raw talent. He just may not have the consistency (yet) to pull it off on a weekly basis.
If you asked me right now, though, who I’d rather see out there with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter, trailing by 4 points, I’d say Thomas without much hesitation. That answer is certainly subject to change after spring ball, but that’s my gut.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
In Costa’s defense, you have to wonder how much of it was gameplanning that didn’t open it up at all.
We have absolutely no reason to think he would be a game manager. That would be like saying that Masoli would be a game manager after watching the Utah game.
I think Costa’s biggest problem in the UCLA was being too tentative. It was pretty clear he was re-adjusting to the speed of college football.
That said, I’d still rather have Thomas at this point, but this debate that’s been developing between the grizzled game manager and the uneven rookie seems to be very contrived. It fits the nice storyline, but I don’t feel either QBs talents fall into either category.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I think the only thing we can say for sure right now is that we are going into the first game of the season with a QB that has very little experience and our star RB on the sideline in street clothes.

After seeing Masoli against Utah, I thought he was just flat out bad at passing. I don’t think Costa is bad at passing, but I think his arm motion is terrible and he didn’t put a lot of zip on his throws. I think that’s going to limit his effectiveness, especially in the downfield passing game.
I said this in my post – it’s a small sample size. We really don’t know much beyond the limited action we’ve seen and the scouting reports we’ve gotten. That’s what I’m going off of. Just because I called Costa a “good game manager” doesn’t mean I think that’s ALL he is. There’s certainly more there. But if you asked about which guy had more potential to be a gamebreaking threat, Thomas seems like the guy. It’s just that he might not be ready for that in 2010.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
One thing that should be kept in mind regarding Thomas was, despite his brilliant performance against Boise State, he also made some big time mistakes in that game. His interception was entirely on him, and he had no business throwing that ball.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
That’s certainly true, but the hope is that those kinds of mistakes will be cured by experience and refinement. In other words, his problems didn’t seem to be physical. Given what Kelly can do with raw talent, I’m excited about Darron Thomas.
We’ll see though. Costa is good and may give the Ducks the best shot for 2010.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
You can run our offense with not-so-fast QBs effectively. The difference is that a quicker QB can take a 5, 6, or 7 yard gain and turn it into a 15, 20, 30 yard gain.
That’s exactly what I mean. With Dixon or Masoli, we could score in 5 plays basically at will. With Costa, he slows down the offense, changes the tempo of our games and forces our D to step up more than it should need to.
Sure, Costa’s comeback would be a great story but honestly, and this is just my opinion, if he’s our quarterback, we score 15-20 points less each game.
His knee is not magically going to improve. Look at the UCLA game, we scored one offensive touchdown the entire game, and that was a slant to Maehl that he took to the house.
Costa should get a chance to earn the starting job this spring, but it would be a travesty if he took crucial learning games from Darron Thomas (read: easy wins over NM and PSU that he can makes mistakes and still win).
That said, he’s still a great backup a great holder, and can come in for the occasional trick play like the UW game. I just don’t want him to be my starting QB in this offense.

I think this type of judgement is incredibly premature. We honestly have no idea what Costa can and cannot bring to the table in terms of speed.
The judgments being made against him are being made based on one game, and this game is a terrible point of reference. The play calling started out slow, and there was a reason for that. It was his first start on a knee that had multiple surgeries. It’s no wonder they didn’t open up the playbook. Into the second half, there was no reason to take any risk.
I think that Thomas is the QB of the future, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if Costa surprises us all, with his arm and legs.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
With Costa, he slows down the offense, changes the tempo of our games and forces our D to step up more than it should need to.
And with that, I don’t agree either.
Costa still has some pretty good wheels. Especially since it was the ACL, which has minimal impact on the north-south running. It has an impact on the shifting and juking.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
I think the small sample size Gorby mentions is the key.
I mean really, two years ago prior to the season Costa was being talked up as the PERFECT dual threat QB for this offense, wheels, smarts, passing ability.
So yes, unexciting full game effort at UCLA vs great quarter for Thomas vs BSU. You do have to assume the knee might not have left him with his original wheels and durability.
But I do think it’s funny the talk like he slows down the game. He was recruited as a dual threat, let’s wait and see where the knee is at.

Meh, I think he could be useful and somewhat productive getting 8 – 10 touches on a team that needs a back to spell their starter. The problem is that Tomlinson himself seems resistant to that role. And while we scoff, it’s hard to blame him – he’s been THE MAN for so long that it’s almost ingrained. He can’t change the mindset. It would be helpful for him to change it, but that’s easy for us to say. We haven’t scored 30 TDs in an NFL season.
The other problem is that the media still treats him like THE MAN in terms of the attention they give, mainly because it’s an interesting story – “Star RB turns into has been but still expects to be the star RB.” A little bit sad, really.

It was a good nickname for the week that we gave it to him.

So let me get this straight..
Dump the last 3 starting quarterbacks, including The Former Heisman Frontrunner, for a 35-year old with bad pins coming off the worst season of his career, and a completely undistinguished backup?
Holmgren MUST be a geenyus of some kind. I continue to be thankful I am not a Browns fan.
everything is history, eventually.
Hasselback was his backup in Greenbay
I think he is trying the same formula, bringing Wallace to Cleveland. Unless my facts are wrong

No press conference scheduled?
I wonder how long this is going to drag on?

Might as well make KVAL sweat for throwing that report out there
No hurries anyway. The coaching carousel is just now starting with the Iowa and Charlotte coaches getting canned. Anyone you’ll want to interview will probably be in the tourny until this weekend.

Still laughing about this today.
I re-posted this on another forum I frequent and got the “so old” complaints from some young whippersnappers.
I don’t care if this thing’s been on the internet for 10 years, it’s still brilliant.

From the post above the Fulmer Cupdate on EDSBS
Vote Lane Kiffin Sexiest Woman in the World
Yes, this is serious.
I did as well
And I’m pretty sure EDSBS has the horsepower to make this happen.

Who wouldn't want to be coached by the sexiest woman in America?

I guess you haven't seen Betty White if you think that Fox tramp is the sexiest woman in America.

So…why didn’t the Fuskies and Beavs stock up on Snickers last season? Could have done them a lot of good.

I'm pretty sure Betty White was coaching the Fuskies.
I mean, did you see how dramatic Jake Locker acted when we sacked his ass, again?

The photo where she's stretching her back with the iron (giggity) shaft (giggity) behind her head (giggity)
would change your mind. I’ll go look for it.

The wall-ball size breasts aren't the issue.
Although I’m more of an ass/legs guy than boob guy.
I fucking hate you Mariners
Then you probably won't find many golfers attractive
since length off the tee is all about the hugeness of one’s ass and thighs.

OT
But….The UO admissions facebook fan page had a contest in Feb. to describe what makes the U of O special in 100 words or less, and today I found out that I got 2nd place. I get an Oregon shirt and a ballpoint pen. Woot.
Thought I would share.

what was your 2nd place wording?
What was 1st?

Don't know who got first, but mine was:
The University of Oregon is a special place because of its academics, athletics, extracurriculars, and people. The learning environment, which covers a broad spectrum of topics, is world-class. The athletic teams are highly successful. The extracurricular activities provide opportunities to the students that are valuable. The people complete the University of Oregon, because they show passion and pride when it comes to the school. The passion is conveyed by the athletic teams, the sense of community, and the outstanding sense of pride when it comes to the University of Oregon. GO DUCKS!
