Quack Fix: Pac-10, er, 12 gets a face-lift, Oregon's all-decade team, fall camp schedule announced

Email
PrintYa know what's going to be special about this Quack Fix? I'm not going to mention Jeremiah Masoli. Well, not from here on out, anyway. Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- Let's start with the Pac-10—or should we start calling it the Pac-12 to get used to its "mathematically correct" new name? The re-branded conference was the hot topic yesterday, and likely will be all week as the savvy, smart, search engine optimized Pac-10/12 commissioner Larry Scott, who has apparently impressed everyone ever, is hyping the conference from the heart of the Big Apple. Believe me, I'm all for the new logo and the shift in strategy. I think we all are. But the best news to come out of the W Hotel in Manhattan yesterday was that the Pac-10/12 is leaning toward keeping the 9-game conference schedule intact. If that is in fact true, well, long live Larry.
- In the next month as the season approaches, the Oregonian's Aaron Fentress will be rolling out Oregon's all-decade team, starting with the quarterbacks. Make sure you vote in the poll for whom you think should be considered Oregon's QB of the decade.
- Also in the next few weeks, the R-G's Rob Moseley will be rolling out his positional previews, and he too started with the quarterbacks yesterday.
- If this doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will: The Ducks have released a tentative practice schedule for fall camp. Practices will commence in the afternoon Monday, Aug. 9. That's 12 days from today.
- Former Oregon safety T.J. Ward signed a multi-year contract with the Cleveland Browns yesterday. The hard-hitting, highlight-reel-making Ward was the first Oregon player selected in April's draft when the Browns made him the 38th overall pick in the second round.
- LostLetterman.com continues its countdown of the top 100 college football traditions, and coming in at a solid No. 24 are Oregon's cheerleaders. We should all feel like proud fathers...or something less creepy maybe.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.
GO DUCKS!

Love Live Larry Scott
It’s amazing the transformation that has happened with the conference, in a single offseason. This quote from Miller’s article (about SI.com writers Mandel and Staples covering the Pac-10) really stuck out to me:
The reason I note what these two national, non-ESPN.com writers are doing is this: Both are based on the East Coast. And both would not be doing this video together (and in coats and ties!) if the Pac-10 were again holding media day on a single afternoon inside a business-traveler hotel by LAX.
It really is amazing just how incredibly incompetent Tom Hansen was.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
No, really....
In one a-ha moment, Scott was stunned when he learned from ESPN/ABC executives that the conference had turned down the reverse mirror option for split telecast football games on ABC. Reverse mirroring allows the portion of the country that doesn’t get a particular game on ABC to watch that game on one of ESPN’s family of networks. For example, if 33 percent of the country is getting Oregon-USC and 66 percent of the country is getting Michigan-Iowa on ABC, the east-coasters and Midwesterners who want to watch the Ducks and Trojans could simply tune to ESPN2. So instead of exposing the entire country to its product, the previous Pac-10 regime had forced Pac-10 football to remain largely a regional entity. Scott immediately corrected that mistake, telling ESPN that for the remainder of the existing contract, it could reverse mirror Pac-10 games at no extra charge

Sadly, this is very believable. Tom Hansen is the one man alive that makes Bud Selig look like a genius.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Uhhhhmmmm?
Huh?
I cannot think of one single reason that a commissioner would ever turn down deals such as this. Viva Larry Scott!

Is there really a point in doing a poll for QBs? It went exactly how I expected with Joey first then, Dixon, Clemens, and Masoli. I wonder if any of the other would of been able to win a National Championship if they would of been able to take 1st in the poll? I expect in the RB poll Stewart to take first not sure who will take second though.
I think Droughns was done in the 90’s. Smith may have been slightly better than Morris, but Morris gets the benefit of the doubt for his roles on the 2000 and 2001 teams that did so well.

I thought Jeremiah Johnson was better than Smith and Morris.
Droughns was done in 1999, by the way.

I don't know if I agree with your assessment.
I tend to think that talent wise, Dixon has a slight edge on Joey. Joey never got inured, and he was a starting NFL QB, but are we voting based on talent, or some other x-factors?
There is no pain in seeing Joey ahead by so much, because I too expecte to see it go that way, but Dennis was a practical shoe-in for the Heisman before getting injured; the closest Joey got was a giant mural in NY.
I heart taxes.
Why keep 9 conference games?
Just so we can play in LA more often? Really? Isn’t part of the major appeal of going to a 12 team conference the fact that you can go to 8 conference games, schedule 4 patsies, and tell everyone your conference schedule is so hard and we have a conference championship game, that’s why we don’t play difficult OOC games? Making it a virtual shoe in for you to get two teams in the BCS?
huh? Well, that’s what my SEC friends tell me.
Personally, I hate the idea of having 9 conference games in a 12 team Pac.

Same
I don’t want 9. No other team with a divisional split plays 9 and we’re only doing it because schools are afraid of change. Not a good enough reason in my opinion.
I don’t understand why people are against 9 games. I want to watch good football, and 9 conference games facilitates that end.
As far as the whole two BCS teams argument, I don’t see nine conference games impacting that at all. It impacts bowl eligible teams, it doesn’t impact the BCS at-large bids.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
This I wholeheartedly agree with
As a fan I want to see competitive games. Sure it can be fun watching the blowouts against the lower tier teams, but those aren’t memorable games.
I don’t want to see my team trade a conference game for a cheap victory just because it may produce a better shot at an at-large BCS bid.
The last two Pac-10 teams that had a legitimate argument for a second bid, 2004 Cal and 2005 Oregon would both have been in under the 5 bowl format.
Under an 8 game conference scehdule we could be playing Portland State just as often as Arizona State…
by AcadianTraverse on Jul 28, 2010 3:39 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Couldn't agree more.
9 conference games is an all-around no-brainer, IMO. Plus, although the Pac-10 isn’t known for its tradition, playing 9 conference games continues to differentiate the Pac-10 as the conference that doesn’t take the easy road by playing fewer tough teams.
Plus, you know, that whole SoCal recruiting factor has to be considered too.

If we want the California schools to give up their regional rivalries, we have to be willing to give up UW.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
How so?
The Cali schools want to have 3 separate rivals. Oregon would only have UW/OSU. Trying to manipulate the schedule to include 3 different rivalry games is going to be damn near impossible no matter the split, unless the NW schools get screwed.

then we have to trade it for something
but we cannot have a scenario where all the Cali schools play each other every year AND we lose the UW game.

So everyone in the conference gets one allotted rivalry game while the Cali schools get 3? That’s some bullshit.

Extra kick in the pants, even if they did deign to allow Oregon a scheduling concession to play both OSU and UW every year, how often will it be one of those two in the championship game? So if Oregon wins its division, chances will be pretty decent of having a rivalry rematch with BOTH its rivals in the other division (and one being near the historically strongest team).

Boise State vs. Idaho gets nastier
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5417329
Boise State University President Bob Kustra says he sees no reason to continue a longtime football rivalry with the University of Idaho, calling Vandal culture “nasty” and “inebriated.”
Kustra’s criticisms came during an interview with the Idaho Statesman editorial board Tuesday. Kustra later said in a prepared statement that questions about the rivalry “hit a sore spot” and his comments were harsher than he intended.
Boise State’s pending move to the Mountain West Conference means the Broncos aren’t likely to play the Idaho Vandals in 2011.
Boise State head coach Chris Petersen put the future of the rivalry in further doubt Monday, saying his team should no longer travel to Moscow for games.
University of Idaho president Duane Nellis said he was “disappointed” over Kustra’s remarks.

I thought William Wallace when I read it, so I decided to share that with you all.

Wallace mentioned a hesitancy toward the general idea of committment.

its fine to take a misstep off the line but i couldnt believe that DB couldn’t catch up to him.

Seriously
Maehl has great hands but dude is not that fast.

disagree.
I don’t know his 40 time, but his yards after catch are pretty consistently great, long strides, doesn’t really get caught.

That's a pretty good Baver tho.
I think Maehl’s possession game is maybe not quite up to the same level as Hass, but his height gives him a few catches in tight places, and his yards after catch are better.

I don’t really see them as comparable. Maehl has way more speed than Hass and it always seemed to me like Hass was the only option for the Bavers.
I’m not saying Maehl’s better, I just don’t see them as comparable receivers.

Kind of agree except that both make catches up the middle in tight spots, just different ways.
But you’re right, one is a Duck and one is a human stain.

Both have great hands. Maehl does a lot on the edges and I’ve never really understood the knock on him for his speed. Is it because he’s white?

i’m not sure how fast Maehl is but Hass ran a 4.61 at the combine. that means he was a super good receiver and probably covered by LB’s.

Think about him doing that from the safety position this year right up the middle on a delayed SS blitz. With his speed if you don’t account for him early he’s going to blast some QBs this year.
