Quack Fix: Saul Patu, A Big Commit, and Rich Brooks

PrintThe last few months have been about concerning ourselves with sports that are only really big every 4 years. FINALLY, we can concern ourselves with football season because let's face it. Baseball doesn't matter until September and what do we have in September? Football! Onto the quack.
- If you haven't already heard, Football got a huge (literally) commit from 4-star offensive lineman Andre Yruretagoyena yesterday. He's listed in the Rivals 100 and the ESPN 150 and is already slated to play in the Under Armour All-American game.
- Now that Utah has joined the Pac-10, where does BYU go from here?
- A former Duck football player is running some sports leadership camps.
- Want to know what would have happened had the USA not joined WWII? It would have gone a little something like this World Cup result.
- Bob Clark from the Register Guard takes a look at how Rich Brooks is fairing in retirement.
Not a lot of quack today, probably because the sun has finally arrived in Oregon. we may have that summer yet!

Today I learned saying the name Curtis Williams at Dawg Pound gets you in deep shit.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
They harked on you because he was dead. That's a bunch of crap.
He went for helmet to helmet hits. You’re asking for problems when you do that.

Considering how England was denied a clear goal, well...
Think of it as a blatant and obvious TD being waived off… and time has expired, and you really needed to score a touchdown to win the game.
So yeah.

Or get their head out of their ass
Like baseball should do with foul ball and has done with HR calls, calls on whether a ball goes over the line or not should be reviewable.
Much of soccer’s rules are subjective, whether the ball goes over the line for a goal is not.

I think all the yellow cards are out of control.
I claim bias: the officials in the USA-Ghana game yesterday royally screwed the US by puling those two yellows in the early going.
By contrast, I don’t think the Ghana team received one in the entire first half.
Call me crazy, but that’s just ridiculous. Basketball fans hate it when the opposing team goes to the line about a billion times and their team doesn’t. The same thing happens in soccer. Two yellows for USA, 0 for Ghana. Total BS.
Now, if there hadn’t been two inexcusable defensive breakdowns leading to a pair of fast break Ghana goals, methinks the score would have been very different.

Everybody dives
Everybody. There isn’t a team in the tournament or the world that doesn’t dive. The governing body doesn’t take a hard stance, so they do it. Altidore did it multiple times yesterday, the Italians do it to a criminal degree, and all of it was on display.
Until FIFA cracks down, it’s hard to blame teams for doing it.

I've felt blatant flopping in the NBA deserves a technical foul for a while.
Because it will only take one to stop that g@rb@ge.
Soccer flopping might deserve an Oscar. Or an instant clock stoppage while the dramatist gets to his feet…

What you don't realize is that the little clock on TV
Isn’t the game clock. The ref has a watch that he stops and starts during the game as needed. Time is stopped for injuries/goals/etc, it’s just not noticed by most.

Dammit Cougfan, you're stealing all my points.
Stop being so right.
Anyway, there does have to be a way to stop diving in soccer, though, it is by far the worst attribute of the sport.
Red cards for the most obvious dives, and the most obvious dramatics on the ground.

Only soccer can bring out the “everyone else does it so it’s okay” defense from otherwise rational fans. I saw this defense in the open thread yesterday too. Also, I watched the Germany game (my last name is Muehlhauser, guess who I’m rooting for now that USA is out) and didn’t see them pulling the crap Ghana pulled where some guy falls down with nobody around him and lays there like he’s dying until being carted off by a fucking STRETCHER, only to jump off of it the second he hit the sideline. I don’t give a shit if the other teams do it, it’s weak as hell. “Everyone else does it, so just go with it” was probably the company motto at the Enron board meetings and sub-prime mortgage loans industry.
Everyone defending it probably loves when Pau Gasol takes a dive too and thinks it is just playing within the rules. I suppose I just think integrity means doing what’s right regardless of whether some loophole in the rules allows it. If that’s how a sport is played, that sport probably just isn’t for me, so I will leave it be.

Obviously I just wrote that I think diving and faking needs to be eliminated.
And called it the worst part of the sport.
I wholeheartedly agree it lacks integrity.
I also don’t think it really works, the ref stops his watch while you’re rolling around like a bitch, and often times I think players can “play through” a foul or near foul and make a lot more out of a play than a free kick.
However, I think you’re misunderstanding at what some are writing here, or at least my own perspective. Personally, I’m saying: stop blaming or even insinuating that the loss was based on some pussy diving and injury faking, it came because we couldn’t score goals, and can’t (ever) play defense to save our fucking lives. We were outplayed. Not by a lot, but definitely enough to lose.
Axe was bitching about refs yesterday, today Obrienadlfkjadsf is on calling out the “bias” of the referees, even using incorrect statistics about the cards. There was no goddamn bias, we lost the fucking game, stop crying.
This is the point of view that makes Cougfan (I think) post that it is a part of the game. It’s the fan that “hates” or looks down upon soccer yet watched the game that’s now on here crying about other people’s actions, when we couldn’t score goals.
Whining about refs and unfairness most certainly lacks integrity as well, in my opinion.
Do what you need to do to win and you don’t have to bitch and moan about other people’s integrity.
Thank you track, baseball, softball, and golf for ending my summer hibernation.
by Bill Musgrave on Jun 27, 2010 3:20 PM PDT up reply actions
I hope for consistency's sake
there’s as much complaining about a lack of integrity when our QB stays on the turf a little longer than he needs to to get a roughing call. Or when a Duck WR baits a ref into a PI. Or when our high tempo offense suddenly starts lollygagging into formation to use up clock.
If our QB has to be taken off the field on a stretcher after not being touched and then comes back on the next play I will complain about it. Also, I’m not bitching and blaming the loss on the refs. Not even a little bit. You shouldn’t leave it in the refs hands. I’m only saying its weak and something I dislike about the sport.
People are saying “every team does it”. First, I don’t care if everyone is doing it. You can win without doing it. It is possible. Secondly, I disagree with that sentiment because I watched Germany finish their game with no stretchers and still hold on for the win.
Do I think USA lost because of it? Not even a little bit. We weren’t good enough, bottom line. I just think its a hrrible part of the game and I’m not the only one who thinks that.
"Maybe your parents didn't believe in you."

I hear you man.
There is no doubt the stretcher thing is just grossly stupid, and everything just short of that is as well. We all hate it. I would like to see more crack down on it, as I initially wrote (red cards). I don’t think you’ll find a soccer fan who likes it. I just think the comments about “every team does it” are essentially true, there is no lesser integrity in Ghana than there is in Germany, and everybody who doesn’t watch soccer is suddenly outraged by this, as if Ghana were planning a new world war, when it always occurs. I’ve watched the game since I was about 5 years old, Germans dive and fake too. The German team was up 3 goals today for the last 30 minutes or so, it had no need to do anything but play the game out. You may need to watch them roll around on the ground before it’s over. Ozil was also diving quite a bit, complaining about it, and then got yanked by his coach before it got any worse.
Personally I’m reacting to comments about bias and/or blaming, which is where my first post comes from.
I’m certainly overall on the same page, diving and faking = bad.

The stretcher
is how the referee moves play along. Yes, it’s irritating to see someone hop up off of it immediately as they get to the sideline, but it’s better than them continuing their fake agony on the pitch.

The USA lost because of two horrible defensive gaffes.
The second goal: great hustle by the Ghana player, but no excuse for the US defender OR goalie.
The celebration after the first Ghana coal would have been a couple fifteen yard penalties in football. Maybe even three, had those officials from 08 Washington-BYU been on the scene… There should have been stopping time, or an outright clock stoppage, considering how much time evaporated.
by OBrienSchofieldismyHero on Jun 27, 2010 10:33 PM PDT up reply actions
There is stoppage for that
The referee typically adds 30 seconds to a minute per goal for celebrations. Celebrations only draw cards for certain things, which FIFA outlines (taking off the uniform is one).

The ref was not the problem yesterday
Part of the interesting problem in the world cup is that refs around the world officiate games differently.
E.g. South American refs give more cards than Europeans do, its not wrong, just a matter of interpretation.
Btw the whole stalling thing Ghana did at the end was bad but typical.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The cards were 3-2
And the ref wasn’t the problem. In fact, the only person with a legitimate gripe about a bad call is from Ghana. The yellow late in the game came on a clear flop by Altidore.
The refs were fine. The crap back line and bad coaching decisions sunk the US, not the refs.

No Onyewu was a huge problem
If Gooch isn’t hurt, they certainly have a much better D.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don't know about that either
Again, it comes down to Bradley. He handcuffed himself by throwing all his chips in with Onyewu in the back. In the end, you saw the result.
Onyewu had a hand in every goal given up before the last game. He was slow, didn’t have the feel, and made mistakes. It’s what happens when they tried to get him fit in such a short time.

I meant if he isn't hurt but yeah
We should make a run at Jurgen Klinsmann for the new HC (although I’d keep Bradley if we couldn’t get him)

I watched Germany this morning and walked away thinking we’d get the 10-run-rule applied if we had to play them instead of Ghana. Also, they went up by 1 and kept attacking, got up by 2 and kept attacking, and won by 3. I didn’t see a single stretcher come out when they were leading. It was a miracle because I was under the impression that if you have the lead you are supposed to take turns laying down and faking injuries. Deutschland didn’t get the memo I guess.

Watching USA I was starting to think there was a rule against attempting a shot from more than 10 yards away, elevating a shot more than 6 inches off the ground, or shotting your shot more than 20 mph. Then I watched other teams and realized that our strikers are the soccer equivalent of morgan flint.

The Guardian nails today's game
The lasting conclusion is that England were neither as sleek, co-ordinated or quick as their opponents. If the team were to scramble further at the World Cup, they had to see impact from Wayne Rooney. The attacker was yet again out of touch and once more let his frustration lead him into futile positions. There should be recognition that he was almost alone in the party as an embodiment of excellence who can still tell himself that the best days lie ahead. No matter how they rage against injustice, his team-mates should appreciate in some cobwebbed corner of their minds that they were outplayed.
Their greater experience proved a burden. It has to be understood that the leaden-footedness kept England off the pace throughout the tournament. They were obliged to take on Germany because they had come second in their group. Solutions are all but out of reach, too, for a line-up that clumsily pieces together three goals in four matches, with Jermain Defoe the sole striker to hit the net.
England were struck by an injustice but the enduring reflection has to be that the means did not exist to recover from it. While the latest wave of pleas for the introduction of goal-line technology look reasonable, it is not an item for Capello’s own agenda. Should he stay in the post, he will have to refresh the line-up for the Euro 2012 qualifiers. He is unlikely to be in charge for the 2014 World Cup.

Manziel sounds like he could play all over the field and will be playing baseball as well (he was apparently offered a baseball scholarship from Texas). Here are some more notes from @TonyDiFrancisco
Again, I don’t think this effects Brett Hundley’s recruitment at all. If anyone, it effects Marcus Mariota’s offer.
Another note- Johnny Manziel is planning on coming to Oregon to play football AND baseball as well.
Manziel could move to WR if need be in the future. Has the speed and athleticism. Sort of like a John Boyett/Jeff Maehl type of player.
Note- Coach Kelly saw both Marcus Mariota and Johnny Manziel in person at camp last week.

After reading this and more about him,
He sounds like he is being looked at as more of an athlete rather than a QB prospect. He seems like an incredibly versatile player that should help fill holes at receiver, and can be used in all kinds of formations.

I love the note about him being a Jeff Maehl/Boyett type player, and I love how the coaching staff is going after athletic players who know the game. Also, having former QBs at other positions is a huge plus. Sounds like a great pick-up by the staff.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Totally agree on the “players who know the game” point. Also, recruiting “winners” is underrated if you ask me.

It’s especially great when you can get athletic winners.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Manziel really fits the mold of an under the radar "winner" that plays hard.
Everything about Manziel spells “coaches pet” (in a positive sense), he seems to have an incredibly hard working personality and is a relentless player that gives his all.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
I feel like he'll come in as a WR if Mariota stays on
and/or we get hundley. However, I’m more inclined to believe that Mariota may go elsewhere, and then we’ll have 3 top recruits to battle for QB supremecy, with this guy applicable elsewhere if need be.

This guy can really set up his blockers, and looks as tough as Masoli. He can line up any place on the field and he passes with a high delivery
point and with touch. He seems to be able to do so much that he will draw attention on EVERY play that he is on the field. And, he’s fast. Wow, what a get. The only bad thing is that we have to wait for a year.

Somebody just compared Masoli to OJ Simpson

I don't condone any of the actions taken by Jmas
but to say things such as
Curtis Williams to Massoli, is like comparing Pat Tillman to OJ Simpson.
Stevens is a bad egg and so is Masoli….they will always be threats to society, they will never learn, and eventually both will do significant time in jail.
Curtis was no angel…he did have some personal problems..he did have a bad relationship…he was never a thief, mugger, or rapist.
(would someone explain to me where a UO player raped someone?)
How about you pull your F***ing head out of your asses UWdawgpound, and read what quinn is saying. He admitted himself that Stevens would have been a better pick, but they just blew right by that.

Because she hit him more than he did her! Um, so that’s an excuse? A huge defensive player who lifts weights, makes his wife work 70 hrs a week to support his family, can beat her if she hits him too? Ridiculous. Absurd. I just don’t get those assholes.

The problem is that the board of game
Is controlled by hunting guides, and the tourist industry, and NOT scientists and biologists. So they believe that aerial shooting of wolves is going to boost Moose populations. This is certainly true in the short term, but predation is essential to maintaining healthy game populations. It is a highly contentious issue.

The fisheries are strong
And thankfully the professional fishermen (and women) get it. But the tragedy of the commons is that people will do what serves their own interests, in lieu of doing what serves the greater good of all. Alaska is no different currently the fishery interests are fighting the Pebble Mine, will be (if built) the largest gold, silver, copper and molybdenum mine in the world. They want to build an earthen dam taller than the Eiffel Tower for the impoundment of toxic waste and the tailings. It just happens that it is located in the headwaters for several major streams that feed the Bristol Bay fishery. We have already seen what happened in Prince William Sound, and the Gulf of Mexico, the Bearing Sea, and Gulf of Alaska is one of the last great fisheries, it feeds a very large portion of the continent of Asia. This is not a good thing. Gold and silver are not worth it. Rant over. Sorry about that.

Regarding flopping
I have a simple idea for the next World Cup that will fix the flopping issue for good. Make Ray Lewis the US Soccer Team Captain. Allow him to craft a team that’s half real soccer players, and half NFL defensive professionals. The hardest hitters in the league.
I think the NFL guys know exactly what to do with a flopping crybaby, and it will be the last time any player fakes an injury. Do you really think that guy would have flopped at the end and called for a stretcher if TJ Ward laid him out while “going for the ball” in the first quarter (half? period? subset? Whatever, fuck soccer)
We’d make the entire World Cup into our personal Byron Hout and bring home the hardware or ribbon or whatever the fuck you win at soccer.

A red card would instantly stop any flagrant flopping, in my opinion.
Nobody, and I do mean nobody, is going to try that cr@p after forcing their team to play with only ten men because they collapsed the second someone breathed on them.
Italy would have some trouble advancing to the World Cup altogether if that happened…
What we need is some sort of sports show that gives floppers at all levels an Oscar for their performance. Kobe Bryant for Best Lead Actor! Derek Fisher for best supporting Actor! The Entire UCLA Bball team for Best Choreography!

The problem with this, in fact a huge problem with soccer officiating in general
is that the field is simply too big to cover for three officials. And FIFA just now is ‘experimenting’ with giving the fourth official actual responsibility on the field itself.
