2009 Highlight video...

I haven’t seen it yet, as it’s only available on torrent, but Ducks Attack has a highlight video available here. If anyone can get a hold of it, let us know what you think.

#2 I am sorry but that pisses me off.

Oregon is the defending Pac 10 Champs. I think that earns them the right to be voted #1 in the preseason Pac 10 ranking.
We all know preseason rankings are worthless, however if they are going to put them out they should at least be right.
Plus how weird is it going to look when Oregon is ranked higher than USC in the preseason top 25 poll even though they are predicted to finish 2nd in their own conference.

If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.

I agree. That’s a situation like after Washington beating them last year—both teams were 3-1 following that game, and UW had beaten them head-to-head and was higher in the conference yet USC remained in the national top-10. That’s the real problem with polls: perception becomes reality, so the good old boys’ teams (USC, Florida, Alabama, Texas, et al) are always ranked high just because they get voted there since they’re “supposed to be there”…well, it appears not at times.

Yes, but USC finished with 4 more wins than UW

So wasn’t USC being ranked above Washington (although the rankings of both teams proved to be too hight) technically correct?

For the record, I'm against the move

I would have liked to waited and see if he was charged. If he’s not, Sark looks like a genius. I guess no matter what, if he’s a beast of a player he looks like a genius to a bulk of fans no matter how bad an apple he is.

It’s done though, so I’ll support Josh, and I hope he can keep his nose clean.

And that is what we all love about Coach Kelly,

He lets the legal system run it’s course before he makes a decision in regards to a players future.

And because he does not kick kids off of the team before they are found guilty or innocent of anything, it clearly shows that he has no control over the team!

That's not the point

He told Canzano repeatedly that he doles out punishment when he know the facts. He never set a standard that requires a conviction to be punished. If a guy comes clean and tells him what happened, then what’s the problem with doling out a punishment.

Why do you have to wait for the legal process to run its course when the would-be defendant has already told you he's guilty?

It saved them both a good amount of time and energy. Like QuackinAK said, Chip Kelly makes the punishments upon what facts he has. There is no timeline he sets for himself to lay out premature or impulsive decisions on these kids’ futures.

Inconsistency is really a relative term in this context

as there is not two identical cases to make a full conclusion on.

I’ll say this, I feel I’ve been pretty amicable and less than rude about this. I still feel some of the punishments haven’t been the mark of consistency, and I see some issues with the way Kelly handled things. That said, part of CFB is both blindly loving your team and hating your rivals.

by B Money on Jul 23, 2010 10:18 AM PDT up reply actions  

Funny thing about consistency

is that it is easy to proclaim and almost impossible prove. It’s tainted by your biases and perception as well as your inability to know all the facts. The only person who can say whether or not Kelly or Sark has been inconsistent is Kelly or Sark (and even then sometimes we deceive ourselves into thinking we’ve been consistent).

Some people will look at how Kelly handled Embry, Alonso, Masoli and proclaim he’s been inconsistent. Yet when asked to prove it most of the time their facts are incorrect or they come up woefully short of being able to do so. Just like I could proclaim that Sark is inconsistent when he throws a kid off a team for not even being in legal trouble and then less than 48 hours later brings one in that is in the middle of such problems. But once again, ask me to prove it and I will fall really short.

So accusing someone of being inconsistent, while fun and easy to do, is really just an accusation of your own ignorance about what really happened.

so i’m confused. what are the rules on recruiting vs keeping criminals (aka young kids doing stupid things) on your team? if they’re already on your team and they get in trouble, your coach has to give them the boot but if the initial transgression happens another place, its okay to give them a second chance? you can see by my tagline where i stand on these issues. i dont pick and choose my side based upon how convenient it is.

Ah, nice use of some good old deflection.

“Oh yeah, well you do it too”. Well, that doesn’t make it any better.

Second, if you look closely, I’m not personally defending any coach’s morals or ethics, nor trashing any coach or team, I’m merely calling your post blatantly hypocritical.

You’d trash UO for taking a questionable kid if he came here, but you’re glad Sark took him. It essentially announces “I don’t care about being consistent, I just like bitching about other people! I refuse to hold myself personally accountable for the same ethics I question others on!”

Stay on target. I’m not trashing UW fans, nor heralding UO fans, I’m trashing your post which takes pride about hypocrisy. I’m also trashing the new post that seems to say you are ok with being called a hypocrite as long as you get a good player. The attitude in these posts suggests willful acceptance of hypocrisy, which is, well, lame.

Since this has gotten a little more serious and defensive than intended, here’s what i got for ya. You take the last year and change that both these head coaches have been in charge, take a look at how many instances with players that have happened between the 2 teams. In the original post my semi sarcastic, dryish statement of “Well then we as Huskies would just say it’s fitting, and that he will be the moral standard” is simply looking at this in a snap shot of over the summer and who got the most headlines. Secondly the fact i think it’s a good thing he gets a second chance at my school and not yours is in no way hypocritical, just biased. And i will close with…. Seacrest out!

Yeah, I have no problem at all with them taking Shirley. I’m not gonna pass judgement on Sark for the move.

I am going to laugh my ass off at Husky fans that are trying to rationalize the move against all their previous statements. It’s comedy gold.

As for Husky fans, I hope they wallow in their hypocrisy.

And for what it’s worth, I think both OSU and UW are way too low on that poll as well…OSU is OSU; a team to be respected. They are good. And UW is scary this year, I don’t care what anyone says. They may not have the best lines in the conference, but their skill-position players stack up with some of the best in the conference and I think that will help compensate.

The Good Fight

Matt, you know facts have no place at the Dawg Pound. But you’re doing great over there – be careful and call us if you need a ride home. And if the cops show up, don’t hide in the bushes. They always catch the guy in the bushes.

I couldn’t get involved there. I was tempted, but I would have spent hours I don’t have refuting ridiculous comments. I applaud your efforts and support you from the home base. If you need reinforcements, let me know, otherwise, it’s best I stay out of it.

My analogy earlier

Arguing with huskies is like drinking a Slurpy really fast. At first you think it’s a good idea, and then about half way through your head hearts and you’re kicking yourself for even starting with them.

There has been far too much tension over at the Dawg Pound lately. I swear that someone gets into a huge argument with Lear Pilot every week.

Per Prehm's twitter,

“Well here we go again. Reports starting to surface that PG Malcolm Armstead has left the UO BB program.”

I guess if he actually has left the team, we will find out sometime soon. I can only imagine MattDaddy’s heartbreak at seeing “Armstud” leave the team if it were to happen.
