Quack Fix: Masoli first to arrive as spring practice begins, and more hoops rumors debunked

Spring is in the air, and we've been busy in the last day. There's so much quack, we had to add a jump, and Dave and Matt both had great posts last night, so check those out. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:

Star-divide

  • Yesterday, it was the Tom Izzo rumor getting shot down. Today, it's Tubby Smith. The Minnesota head coach, who was rumored to have been offered the Oregon head coaching vacancy, says he has not been contacted by the Ducks. Of course, once a lead ends in a deadend, the rumor mill finds a new target. The latest grumblings involve Pittsburgh's Jamie Dixon, and there may actually be some validity to these rumors. And finally on the rumor front, there's the Twisunderstanding (Twitter misunderstanding) about Oregon freshman Jamil Wilson. Ducks Sports News reported Wilson had tweeted he would not be returning to Oregon next year. But, as it turned out, DSN pulled a Kanye and didn't let Wilson finish. He won't be returning to Oregon ... this week, because he's on Spring Break. Oh, the Internets.
  • ESPN.com's Miller goes one-on-one with former Oregon receiver Aaron Pflugrad, who sat out last year after transferring to Arizona State following his dad Robin's departure from his Oregon post as receivers coach. I hope Ducks fans will be rooting for Lil' Pflu down in Tempe—except, of course, when the Ducks play the Sun Devils in September.
  • The Oregon softball team's 11-game winning streak is starting to garner some attention. The Ducks climbed to No. 21 on the USA Softball national poll, up four spots from last week's No. 25 ranking. They open the Pac-10 slate tomorrow with a three-game road series in Corvallis against Oregon State.
  • Former Oregon defensive tackle Matt Toeaina re-signed with the Chicago Bears yesterday, signing a one-year deal and extending his NFL career to a fourth season. Congratulations to Matt.
  • Make sure you check out ESPN 30 for 30 on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. PT, featuring Oregon head women's basketball coach Paul Westhead. And if you don't plan to watch it, at least watch the trailer.

It just cracks me up how Costa looks like he’s 35 years old.

Overall, looks like yesterday’s practice was very crisp and energetic, which is a great sign. It’s also wonderful to hear that Masoli is accepting his role for this season. Of course the talking heads and the rest of the bonehead media personalities are still going to doubt us, but dammit, I just feel as if this season is still going to be something special.

I’m proud of these guys.

it might depend on who plays QB this year

if costa starts, there could be a competition next year for Thomas and Masoli. if Thomas starts then I see him playing either backup QB, safety, or possibly WR/TE

With Thomas and Hawkings getting more reps at QB than Masoli this year, and hopefully getting more chemistry with the young receivers like Diante Jackson, I don’t see Masoli playing QB pending string of injuries.

Chip Kelly interview

Does anyone else get the sense that one of these days a reporter is going to ask Kelly about the off-field issues and Kelly is just going to snap and take the guy down? In the RG video, one of the reporters asked if Kelly had any major concerns, and Kelly responded “Too many questions.”

Then you heard nervous laughter and saw the microphones back off a little bit.

Jake Locker didn’t bring his axe today.

Link: Huskies welcome back the ‘same old’ Jake Locker

Quote:

The most surprising sights at the University of Washington football team’s first spring practice on Tuesday afternoon were not the four freshmen who enrolled in school early or even the member of the UW men’s basketball team who came out for the team.

The most surprising thing was that Jake Locker was not carrying an axe.

No lumberjack’s shirt. No blue ox named Babe.

Despite the mythical proportions that have been draped upon the Locker name since he turned down millions of dollars and decided to return to UW for his senior season, Locker is still the same 6-foot-3, 226-pound guy he’s always been.

"He’s regular old Jake to me," junior running back Johri Fogerson said Tuesday, after the Huskies wrapped up the first of their 15 spring practices. "Just a regular, laid-back guy who’s fun to hang out with. He’s a lovable guy, and he takes care of us."

Eugene’s media SUCKS! I get it, you want to ask about Masoli, you want to talk about the QB situation, you want to ask Kelly about the offseason troubles for the 24th time like he’s finally going to tell you something new.

How about some of the other position competitions (WR, CB, S)? One question about the early enrollees, one? What about Lewis, was he injured? So many other things to ask and about 90% of all his interviews are about Masoli and the QB’s.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose

I worked at KEZI and KVAL in the late 70s.

Back then, there were two kinds of reporters represented in the Eugene mediaplex:

1. Young reporters who were just passing through, trying desperately to get noticed by someone in Portland or Seattle so they could get the fuck out of this media shitshole, and

2. Old reporters who had zero ambition, and only cared about keeping the latest news director (who was invariably a “1.”) satisfied enough to keep their jobs so they wouldn’t have to uproot their families and move to yet another shithole.

Doesn’t seem things have changed a bit in 30 years.

so here's a question

does anyone know where we could get information on next year’s non-conference basketball schedule? While it is certinaly not complete, there are some games under contract at this time.

We know we’ll get Missouri at home as part of the Pac-10/Big 12 hardwood series, just curious what else may be out there, especially as there were some rumors awhile ago about having Duke in to open the arena.

Also, one element of having a new coach that I am looking forward to is playing a real nonconference schedule on a consistent basis.

by Duckfan214 on Mar 31, 2010 11:04 AM PDT reply actions  

So what if it does?

What is it to us if Kelly decides that Masoli has paid his dues and lets him back on to the field before his suspension is technically up? Kelly’s the one interacting with these guys and monitoring their progress as people.

I am 99% certain that Masoli will not be playing this year. After lying to Kelly, I don’t see any way that he does enough to change Kelly’s mind about the suspension. But if he did? You’d hear self-righteous media make ill-informed condemnations of the type of program Oregon is running, but the truth would be that none of us are closer to the situation than Kelly. None of us are in a position to judge Masoli’s contrition and rehabilitation as Kelly is. And look what happened with the LGB situation. He came back, he was a model citizen, and he seemed to learn from his mistake. How is that a bad thing?

He’ll never get lost in the crowd anywhere ever with his face or his name so might as well rebuild it the hard way starting today.

Problem with aiming for top tier candidates means you face a lot of rejection. I was hoping Dixon would be the guy though. I don’t think the upper echelon of ppl think brad stevens is a big enough name.

Pitt will give Dixon a contract extension. so I guess this means he’s out, maybe we can get Brad Stevens a raise or extension too, it certainly seems to be working for everyone else we are interested in.

Hire Brad Stevens

Why do I get the feeling we’ll end up with Tubby or Bennett?

Oh, right.

I’m not sure I agree with that, but it depends on the contract either would get. I think I’d take Bennett over Dunlap.

Canzano gets his Duck insider info from an unemployed Canadian woman in El Cajon, CA. This is too dumb to be fake. I love it.

They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

My favorite part is how she refuses to change her number because she’s given it to soooo many friends… oh and she’s filled out applications and doesn’t want to miss out on a job opportunity.

Listen, if this was half as annoying as CFMS makes it out to be, I’d changed my number years ago, and taken the day it would take to let my friends know and fill out my fast food applications.

Breaking news.

Some random lady in El Cajon says that the entire University of Oregon football team simultaneously tore their ACL’s at once. The whole team is out for the season.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Canzano’s source is seriously some random lady living in the redneck boonies of San Diego? Thats classic!

Yep. It in fact does.

Where do you think all of the Minutemen live? El Cajon among other places.

Well,

Minutemen seem like they would fit in very well in Knoxville. After all, they are gun-toting rednecks. So…

Pretty much everywhere south of downtown San Diego to the border crossing is a pretty bad area. If you go east of San Diego, it gets pretty rural and hick in some places.

Yeah, we went down to Tijuana and some of the area south of downtown looked sketchy to say the least.

TJ is a total mess now-a-days. It is a real shame too.

Northern Baja used to be a cool place to surf and blow stuff up, but now all of the “narcos” have completely taken the place over. The cops are crooked, and the drug cartels regularly kidnap Americans and execute them after collecting ransom money. It is a shame.

Yeah, we just went for a few hours…just to say we went. Needless to say, I ate a whole lot of churros. At one point, we took a wrong turn and we found ourselves in an EXTREMELY shady looking area. We got the hell out of there.

that's actually a pretty funny story.

Once when I was doing consulting work, I had a toll-free number that rang on my main local line.

Turned out the number had previously been used by an Oklahoma cable company for people to order pay-per-view events like Wrestlemania and monster truck bashes.

At first, I politely told the callers the number had been changed. For my good manners I received a fair amount of disbelief, incredulity and abuse.

Eventually, I gave up, and became the Oklahoma Cable Company Pay-Per-View Division.

My only regret was that I never got to be on the other end of the complaint calls the subscribers must have made when they found they really hadn’t been awarded a surprise lifetime subscription to WWF pay-per-view events because of their customer loyalty.

A little off-topic, but...

Chip Kelly looks seriously fit now. I think he’s lost a lot of weight the past year or so. Does anyone else see it? Good for him.

But if he has lost weight, good for him.

The burning question:

Did he go on the Lendale White Patron-less diet? (or if you’re Quinn, Patrone-less diet.)

Nevermind, he’s more of a Corona man.

On the Bellotti severance, this little doozy just came across from ESPN
In the letter, which details circumstances surrounding Bellotti’s $2.3 million severance, general counsel Melinda Grier wrote that when Bellotti told Lariviere in early winter that ESPN had approached him about possible employment, Lariviere “determined that it was in the university’s best interest to expedite this transition and find new leadership for the athletic department.”
