Quack Fix: How Tennessee Can Beat Oregon, Locker for Heisman, Lindsay Babb

PrintStop. It's Quack Fix Time. Please Quack! Don't hurt em!
- Ted Miller discusses how Tennessee can beat Oregon. I'm looking forward to this game more than anything but it also makes me extremely nervous. What better way to get a rebuilding program off the ground than to beat up on a good team at home in front of you rowdy fans? Of course, I'm also extremely pessimistic so what do I know?
- Former Oregon rugby player Lindsay Babb was found dead last Tuesday, the apparent victim of a stabbing. Her boyfriend appears to be the prime suspect in the case and currently resides in the hospital with a self-inflicted stab wound.
- Lots of track and field notes from the USA Championships.
- The new freshman football players have arrived on campus and had to introduce themselves to their new teammates.
- Kyle Whittingham, head coach of the Utah Utes football team, says that Pac-10 expansion is only just beginning.
- The "Locker for Heisman" campaign is picking up steam. One question: If you had to pick one, who is the most deserving of the heisman... Jake Locker or Jacquizz Rodgers?
- In news of the weird today, we've successfully started making bionic cats. Who needs terminators when you have robotic allergy distribution systems wandering around?
We'll have a special World Cup open thread up around 11am PDT for the USA vs. Ghana match to start the Sweet 16. Until then, Go Ducks!

If Tennessee wins, I will have to endure shit-talking until at least the 2013 game. So….if we could preferably not let that happen.
Onto victory urge the heroes, of our mighty Oregon!

If Tennessee wins, I'll have to have a serious look at the rest of the schedule...
Because Tennessee will probably tank and go 1-10 afterwards…

Don't get all the Locker Heisman talk
He’s a good pro prospects (i.e. he has a big arm). Usually the guys atop Mel Kiper’s top prospects lists aren’t Heisman candidates. Just don’t see him ending up in NYC in December.

Locker has a lot of hype, but guys on teams with losing records rarely get Heisman hype. If I were UW, I’d concentrate on having a winning record first and then on getting Jake Heisman hype.
Their O-line and D-line still leave a lot to be desired and Locker is going to have to make a lot of plays with his legs (probably more than Sark or UW actually wants) which could leave him susceptible to injury.
There’s going to have to be a lot of things that go right for UW for Locker to even book a trip to NYC.

Do they think Locker Heisman talk helps in recruiting? Showing they're able to market their guys.
No clue, but maybe that’s what the UW people are thinking.

I think they need to strike while the iron is hot. This is a big season for Husky Football. They have the ultimate opportunity to say emphatically “we’re back!” by getting to a bowl game. They have a marketable star in Jake Locker that is talked about all over the place and the Seattle market to cater to.
As much as I hate the whole “your team has to win in order for you to become the best football player in the country” mantra that the heisman contest is, we have to deal with it.

I don’t necessarily mind “you have to have a winning team” because I think the best players in the country should be able to lead their teams to wins. They don’t need to be undefeated, but at least winning.
I hate that the Heisman has turned into the QB on the winningest team in the country. Nobody will ever convince me that Suh didn’t deserve the Heisman last year (and yes I know a QB didn’t win it, and that’s only because Bama’s QB wasn’t “Heisman” worthy).

Trivia time!
Has a Heisman ever been won by a player from a team with a losing record?
I don’t know the answer, but I sure would like somebody to look it up…
Paul Hornung was the 1956 Heisman Trophy winner. His Notre Dame team went 2-8 I believe. I can’t think of any others.
My god, they should take [The vuvuzelas] into the mountainous caves region of Pakistan and play them until Osama bin Laden comes running out, screaming, "OK, OK! I give!"

I have a book that profiles every heisman winner
ive read it prolly 5 times

I’d have to think it helps with exposure. But getting UW to admit that they need help with exposure will never happen, considering they consider themselves to be a premier program in the Pac 10 and not a team that hasn’t had a winning record since a 7-5 season in 2002.
I’m proud to know that I have a third grader who has never had to experience the Huskies in a bowl game.

Huskies in Bowls
The Huskies have been pretty far down for the last 9 years, but that only brings forth the question of what exactly the Ducks have accomplished in that time? I would argue that no one has been better at losing big bowl games than UO.

I would much rather lose a bowl that go winless in a season...

What kind of bowl game do you go to when you go ofer?
I tried to look it up but I couldn’t seem to find it, not sure if it was a good source of exposure or not.

I am the first to admit that the Huskies have been far from the top the last 9 years, however we have won a rose bowl this decade. Actually so have the lowly Cougs. I’m not saying that Oregon is a bad team bt any means, just that if you want to be in that elite spot atop the conference where UW was and will be again you have to win the big ones.

Show of force in promoting awards for their players is an old USC trick. I'm sure they are using it in recruiting.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
Until then, Go Ducks!
so from 11-1, fuck the ducks?

I’ll fully support Locker for Heisman as long as he hugs me with his strong, loving arms and kisses me with the passion he would to kiss his own mother, it’s just such an amazing feeling…
wait, what?

I just threw up in mouth a little.
Can we just start calling him Jake Tebow?

On a serious note, how many of these draft busts (at least since 2000)
can be attributed in part to over-zealous coaches/front office-men that want them on the field asap. Sometimes a kid needs some development.

i wasn't talking just QBs though.

That's part of the problem.
Draft a kid that high, you have to pay him a king’s ransom.. and the owner wants immediate results.
Joey should have been able to hold a clipboard for a year before he ever saw a start. That’s the problem with being drafted high — you get on a team that really needs a QB, but can’t protect him. There’s a reason teams have the #1 pick, and it’s not because they don’t suck.

That would be accurate if Tebow had a rocket arm and could make all the passes outside the numers and down the field. Oh and if Tebow had better passing mechanics than say my grandmother.

Felony theft, serious stuff.
They have been on campus for a few days at most! How could they possibly get into serious trouble so quickly?

I like how their commenters
Are all practically begging Neuweasel to emulate Coach Kelly in his handling of this situation. But remember, Kelly doesn’t know how to discipline his out-of-control thugs.
The author of "How to be a hero then a goat in less than one JD"
Haha, yeah.
Many of them are basically saying “lets wait until we have the facts before we pass judgement”, or “they should be suspended for a season then have to work hard to get back on the team”
Hmmmm, nope. None of that sounds familiar.

Obviously if the coach followed their advice
he’d be promoting illegal behavior, right guys?

WOW
He is extremely fast off of the ball and gets to the second level of the field very quickly. It honestly does not even look fair for him to be out there, he just looks like a high school bully terrorizing the local Pee Wee football team.
Right now it looks like he relies on his brute anger and size advantage rather than footwork and smarts to neutralize defenders. Once he adds a little more muscle and a little more finesse, he could be the next great Oregon offensive lineman.

Awesome news. He is getting a ton of interest around the country, and just visited USC before Eugene, but his trip to Eugene was perfect.
Also, while he was going to take 5 official visits, according to Biggins, he’s decided to only take an official this fall to Oregon, which pretty much guarantees he’ll be a Duck.
Oregon has done a spectacular job of getting talent on the O-line, it’s great to see that continue.

It sure helps that we are putting quite a few of them into the NFL now.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
What’s shocking to me is that he’s “only” 258 lbs.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-I-T-T-L-E-H-O-S-T-I-L-E"
He's 17 years old and 6'5"
Give him two years in the weight room. He’ll fill out that frame and be huge.
