Quack Fix: Ducks fall to Huskies, taking a look at the secondary

PrintIt's Friday! Let's get straight to the quack.
- Oregon lost to the Huskies at Mac Court last night, 86-72. The story, yet again, was a poor showing coming out of halftime, as the Huskies went on an 11-0 run not long into the second half. And the Ducks just couldn't slow down the Huskies. The loss locks the Ducks into the 8/9 play-in game of the Pac-10 tourney.
- Brandon Roy and Dick Harter were honorary captains of last nights game, and both received a warm welcome. That's right, someone wearing Husky purple was actively cheered in Mac Court. The end is obviously upon us.
- The Oregon women head to Wazzu tonight to take on the Cougars, and a win will give them a pass to the Pac-10 quarterfinals, something the Ducks haven't had since 2007.
- Rob Moseley takes a look at the secondary going into spring practices. And look for the Ducks to do some experimenting, especially at safety. Talmadge Jackson (if depth allows) may see some time there (safety is his natural position), or we may see someone like Eddie Pleasant get some playing time as the Ducks try to get all their talent on the field at one. Overall, this is a brand new generation for the Duck secondary, but we know a lot of the faces already, and it will be fun to watch them develop.
- In the latest police blotter news, Kiko Alonso plead not guilty to several charges relating to a DUII incident.
- Ken Goe talks a bit more about the new Duck mascot situation, and how this stemmed from the Supwitchugirl's unauthorized use of the Duck in their video "I Smell Roses." While the University seemed like the bad guy for how they reacted to the video, it's nice to see them respond in this fashion and work with Disney on this issue.
- Lastly, here's a video of PK Park. It really seems like a spectacular place to watch a baseball game. If any of you made the games this week, let us know how it was.
Got any other quack to share? Leave it below. GO DUCKS!

Wow.
I wonder who will be the Beaver’s QB now that Canfield and Moevao are gone.

it’s his job to lose but Lalich could make it interesting in the spring. Kid is a 4-star transfer who sat out last year.

He may have had a hard time at Virginia but I don’t think he’s anywhere in the same league as Holland was. By all accounts Lailch has fit in well at Oregon State.

I never realized Paul Westhead was Hank Gathers' coach
Yesterday was the anniversary and I saw Westhead in front of the stock Oregon background talking about it.
I am very excited about this seasons DB prospects.
Cliff Harris was at times inconsistent his freshman year, but overall played great for a freshman. His game against UW was amazing. John Boyett is obviously a great ballhawk, and never ceases to amaze me that he is pretty much one of the most sure tacklers on the team. Javes Lewis played well at rover, and decent at corner (I am personally hoping that he wins the rover spot this season). I’ve read that Brian Jackson played well at corner for the scout team, and we also have many incoming freshman. Should be a good bunch this year, and a great one next season.

Like two weeks ago, I want to plug Stunts & Gymnastics, having their second and last home meet of the season (the Northwest Invitational) on Sunday. There’s no recent quack, so instead here’s the video from the first meet. They call it a highlight video, but it’s really everything Oregon did that day. If you want to just watch a bit to get an idea of the various parts of the competition, Stunts start at 0:10, Baskets at 2:38, Pyramids at 3:01, Tumbling at 4:10 (Solo Passes at 5:18), and the Team Routine at 5:50
If you just want to go “Wow,” the Tumbling (especially Solo Passes) and the Team Routine are the best for that.

And the stuff they do is pretty damn cool
The same opposing warriors our javeliners are trying to kill.
Actually, I’m all in favor of Hostetler 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, trying to take out the Husky defense.

Which makes it even more pointless.
Sorry, I know it’s athletic and certainly the women have to be very skilled. But it’s not a sport. In the immortal words of Woody, “It’s falling…with style.” I would rather watch women’s soccer than that stuff (and as Matt Daddy and I agree, soccer SUCKS).

Something that involves athletic activity that you can “play.” Something where there’s a clear winner. Anything where a panel of judges decides who wins is not a sport in my opinion.

All sports have judges
You could make the argument that refs are panels of judges that can, and have, influence a game to determine a winner.
by Brian Floyd on Mar 5, 2010 10:36 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Sure, but there’s a VERY distinct difference between a person who enforces the rules of the game within the game itself and a person who, through their interpretation of what happens, actually determines who wins and who doesn’t.

No because there isn’t athletic activity involved. You’re driving a freaking car. The car is doing all the work. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to be in some kind of “shape,” but no, I don’t consider it a sport.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Of course, this really just shunts part of “what is a sport?” to “what types of shape, exactly, constitute ‘athletic’?” Fun times. Also, NASCAR needs to die. Like now.

If you want to really stretch this definition, boxing would be it. Boxing is the only sport where neither the audience or the competitors know who’s winning until the match is over. Sometimes it involved judges, sometimes it doesn’t (if there’s a KO).
I’m not a big fan of boxing in the first place, but if it weren’t completely over-the-top, I’d be much more inclined to watch if they played until one person knocked the other out. The judging thing leaves too much open to interpretation.
Defending maligned chants since 2009

I dont disagree with you
Just looking at it a different way. A ref interprets what’s going on in front of them and makes judgment calls that change the outcome of the game. And no, I’m not talking about our basketball game before anyone asks.
by Brian Floyd on Mar 5, 2010 10:40 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
I'm not sure I agree
For most rules such as offsides or false start there isn’t a lot of interpretation. Where I will agree is in the instance of 0-12 Jake Locker throwing the ball “too high” I think there is a LOT of interpretation to that call.
Holding, PI, Illegal contact, Personal fouls
All judgment calls. Some are clear, others are not and it all comes down to the ref
by Brian Floyd on Mar 5, 2010 10:44 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
But again, they’re just enforcing rules, not determining a winner.

But by enforcing the rules in the wrong way it influences the game and can lead to determining a winner
Or they could botch a coin toss

But at no point are they (supposed to) judge how well the player does things. It doesn’t matter if they think the DB took a bad angle on the WR, only whether they think the contact occurred after 5 yards and before the ball arrived.

So are you arguing just to argue or you really don’t think there’s a difference between, say, a hockey referee and a judge who awards a 9.7 on a figure skating routine in the Olympics?
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Option A
I agree with you but was playing devils advocate. And then I realized I was using outliers as examples and that’s terrible logic.
Refs can influence and change games (Tim Donaghys book) but in no way is it the same
by Brian Floyd on Mar 5, 2010 10:54 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Definitely agree
At the end of the day, refs should be in the background, but can influence events.
At the end of the day, JUDGES basically determine who wins and who loses in certain competitions. And that holds no interest for me.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Would it hold more interest if you knew the criteria or how to judge
Because honestly I have no idea how most of those types of things are judged and that’s where I have the problem
by Brian Floyd on Mar 5, 2010 11:00 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
Maybe, and I will admit that more of it is technical than I give it credit for. In other words, it’s not like it’s entirely (dare I say it) subjective.
But in sports, at least by my definition, I know when a guy scores a TD, I know when a goal goes in the net, I know when someone wins a race.
In competitions like this, how do we know how the judge is going to interpret a slight mis-step? Is what she did difficult enough to only make it a slight deduction? What is perfect? How do you even determine difficulty? Too many variables and questions for my tastes. Too open to interpretation.

That is an inherent problem of sports with judges.
The only way to alleviate that is with a panel and then average. It’s still far from imperfect, and judge panels don’t even do this (At least in Gymnastics, there are 2 judges in 3-4 groups, they each look at and judge specific aspects of the routine)
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
But judged activities have to have a point, otherwise it’s just an exhibition like a concert or a dance recital. Creating a competitive field for said activities speaks to their athletic merit. I frankly don’t care what is or is not a sport – if it takes athletic and/or coordinated skill, and there is some sort of scoring system to determine a winner, then sure, it’s a sport. And yes, that includes Cup Stacking, Curling, Beer Pong, Peeing for Distance, and Laser Tag.

by Bill Musgrave on Mar 5, 2010 5:50 PM PST up reply actions
Why is that?
In a dance recital, I watch the people dance, and form an opinion on how well they dance.
In this competition, I watch it, form my opinion, and then listen as some other person attaches points to THEIR opinion. And thus we have a winner.
That’s the connection I was making.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Because you just casually belittled it in the midst of your ignorance of the “sport”, and you only continue perpetuate your ignorance of it, and then compare it to something it is nothing like.
From my perspective, saying it is like a dance recital is is to a similar effect as comparing Scientology to Star Wars.
No, it isn’t football. It isn’t baseball. It isn’t basketball. It isn’t soccer. It doesn’t involve a direct competition with simultaneous opposition.
It is a judged activity. But you have no idea how the scoring system works. From your comments, one would think the scoring attributes are arbitrary and entirely to the judge’s opinion.
In gymnastics, certain mistakes have certain FIXED values associated to them. What really influences a judge’s score is more of how many mistakes they are able to catch. It isn’t an impressionistic value that the judge calculates inside their head. The judges aren’t like the judges you see on American Idol. It doesn’t work that way.
That’s why I think it is a ridiculous statement.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
Penalties have FIXED values too
if you get caught holding by a finger, or you tackle the guy to the ground, it’s still 10 yards.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Sure, just like there are certain steps you have to make in dances and certain notes you have to hit in singing, etc. etc.
I’m not ignorant of how the sport works. Those fixed values, though, depend on the difficulty of the stunt performed and the manner in which it was performed and all of that, which is subjective. I understand what you’re saying, and I agree that it’s not arbitrary, but it’s still up to judges to determine how these things are scored. Just doesn’t interest me. That’s a far cry from being ignorant about how it works.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Not being interested in it is fine. That is a position that is perfectly fine.
This isn’t a sport I would drive down to Eugene to watch. if I had to kill some time while I was in Eugene, then yeah – I would go watch. Football, Basketball, and Baseball are about the only sports I would drive down for.
Those fixed values, though, depend on the difficulty of the stunt performed and the manner in which it was performed and all of that, which is subjective.
That isn’t always the case though. Some mistakes result in a mandatory “blah” – regardless of the difficulty.
The difficulty score also isn’t some subjective amount that the judge feels.
This is why I called out ignorance of it all. It’s fine. Someone that has little-to-no interest in a sport wouldn’t KNOW everything about it. Years and years ago, and in another life, I actually did gymnastics. That’s the only reason why I know some things about it.
The belittling of it to a dance recital is where your opinion becomes porn.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"

Except I said that’s what it was like to ME. You don’t have to think of it as a dance recital. Obviously you don’t. I would probably enjoy Stunts & Gymnastics a tad more, but not much.
Plus I don’t think people who do dance recitals would think of it as a belittlement. And honestly, I didn’t mean it as a belittlement. Just an analogy to another activity that requires some athleticism which I don’t enjoy watching.

I just don’t happen to agree on the definition of sport. If you enjoy watching that kind of thing, good for you. I just don’t, that’s all. It doesn’t make what they do any less athletic or skillful. I happen to think it makes for a lousy form of competition and entertainment.

I agree with that, in a way.
In a separate note: Football, soccer, basketball – these are all things you, myself, or most anyone can play.
Gymnastics, diving, TS&G is a different classification because we are unable to relate to it. The average person cannot compete in these sports and do what these athletes are able to do.

I’m not sure that I really see a distinction. I don’t think that my ability to run a zone read is any closer to Masoli’s than my tumbling skill is to Tori Maynard’s, and therefore I can’t really relate to what doing either one is like.

I
went to PK with my brother for his birthday present (the first game) and it was very enjoyable. We had 2nd row seats which are great, right on the field, it rained a good amount before the game started so we got soaked, but then it stopped when the game was starting. We went up to the little middle area and it was a spectacular of the field. The skyboxes have balconies with seats in them, and the giant wood cover covers most of the seats.
Duck season tickets for Christmas = Best Christmas EVER.
In spirit only
I closed my eyes and was at PK park in spirit only. I saw the perfectly manicured, chalk-lined batters box, being devistated by the first hitter. I tasted the dust being brushed from the pants of the duck base runner who had just stolen second. I heard the constant chatter comming from both dugouts. I saw the on-deck hitter knock the doughnut from his bat and watched as he approaced the plate with bad intention. I was near enough to smell the oil drenched leather of a first baseman’s glove, casually tossed next to the fence. I heard birds chirping, and a dog bark somewhere far down Martin Luther King boulevard. The sun felt warm on my face, and everything was right with the world. Please don’t tell me it was any different.
So were playing for last place tomorrow
And if the Ducks win well probably be playing again Wednesday.

Tell your players not to rush on to the court until the game is over this time.
… Too soon?

So you’re saying, when it comes to flinging poo, I need more work.
its spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-O-B-L-I-G-A-T-E-D-T-O-D-O-I-T"
Need more ammo at least
Its diarrhea at this point of the season, it doesn’t fling. But the poo analogy works since tomorrows game is the toilet bowl

Random question
lets say the football team wins at least 10 games next year and Masoli is at the helm. where would that put him in terms of wins by a Duck qb?
Under winter skies
We stand glorious
And with Oden on our side
We are victorious
Beyond Joey for sure
I would guess but close since Joey was the starter earlier in his sophmore year than Masoli was.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Harrington is a graduate of the University of Oregon, and was a three-year starter on the Oregon Ducks football team. In his senior season at Oregon, he threw for 2,415 yards and 23 touchdowns, and he finished his college career with a 25-3 record (including bowl wins against 12th-ranked Texas and 3rd-ranked Colorado), 512 completions in 928 attempts (55.2%), 6911 passing yards, 59 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, and 210 rushing yards and 18 scores on 145 carries.

Masoli
Was 7-3 as a starter in 2008-09, 9-3 in 2009-10 by my math.
So he would only be 1 win beyond Joey if he got 10 wins, and his winnig percentage would be far less.

I generally think EDSBS is pretty funny. Every so often something will escape my humor, but I like it.

haha I love this
They shouldn’t be as good as they are but for the great trick of American snack-making executed to the fullest: maximizing the amount of fat and salt per square inch to create the perfect non-nutritive snack-shingle consumed mindlessly by the pound whilst watching the television programming of your choice. Everything about Triscuits—every goddamn thing—is perfect, brilliant, and infallible. To wit:

It’s the hazelnut. It’s funny, I used to get Nutella mixed up with “nutria.” You should have seen the looks I got when I said I was going to make a nutria sandwich. No one ever wanted me to make them one.

Oh yeah. I’ve already typed it as “Heyward Field” once in the past week because ST has gotten me excited.
As people are wearing more Giants stuff around Eugene, though, I’ve realized I’m stuck in a 1993 mindset.

Heyward and Hanson...
Gonna be looking forward to a bright future for the organization. We’ve got to restart what got us the 14 straight-developing players in our farm system, a la McCann, Hanson, Jurrjens (even though he was originally with Detroit), hopefully Heyward…
I’m afraid we’ll be stuck in 2nd or 3rd in the East again this year, though.

i loved the Braves in the mid-90s
But as I got older, I only had time for one team, and the Mariners won the battle for my heart. Still have a soft spot for Atlanta, though. Crime Dog is still one of my all time favs.

I inherit my love for the Braves from my Dad…who fell in love with them during the horrid late 80’s years, when he was in law school at the U of O and the TBS Superstation showed all the games…so he was pretty happy when he got a job in Atlanta after Oregon. He was at the Sid’s Slide game. Braves game was on in the hospital room when I was born. I guess you could say that I’ve literally watched the Braves since birth.

I get mine from my dad, too. He grew up in Georgia, so he was always watching it. Those “late 80s years” you speak of are right when I was getting old enough to understand what was going on…

I know a lot of people that grew up liking them because they were always on TBS. This was way before ESPN and anyone else was broadcasting baseball on a consistent level.

Well, he was an Indians fan, growing up in Cleveland…but then he watched the Braves on TBS when he lived in Eugene and became a big fan

This was me
I got to watch the Cubs (WGN) and Braves all the time. I loved the early ’90’s Braves. I still remember all those teams – Smoltz, Avery, Bream, Pendleton, Lemke, Blauser, Justice, etc.

I was talking about how hilarious and small-towny it is for the New Orleans Zephyrs to have rodents for their mascot (they’re two nutria named Boudreaux and Clotille). Then I noticed the OSU fan who was there giving me a look and was like “Oh, right.” and laughed.
