Quack Fix: Masoli to walk-on at Ole Miss, players end voluntary workouts

PrintWe're one week away from fall camp, and less than 5 weeks from gameday at Autzen. Here's some quack to pass the time just a little bit faster:
- Well, it's official. Jeremiah Masoli will walk-on at Ole Miss, and will be eligible to play this season. Now that Masoli has finally found a new home, will this story die? I'm doubtful. Masoli will always be linked to Oregon football after leading the Ducks to the Pac-10 title, and the story will continue throughout the season, especially if Oregon's offense struggle. But I'm glad for Jeremiah and hope he finds success at Ole Miss and can get his life put back together.
- The football team finished up their final voluntary workout of the summer on Friday, and the next time the team is together will be at the beginning of fall camp next Monday. And the Ducks sound to be ready for camp to get underway, with a lot of optimism being shown from leaders like Spencer Paysinger, and improvements being seen in a number of drills. With the Ducks returning to many experienced players, who know what it takes to win a Pac-10 title, and hopefully hungry for more, I would expect nothing less.
- The Pac-12 continues to move forward as the athletic directors of the conference met over the weekend. Jon Wilner caught up with the conference deputy commissioner Kevin Weiberg, though Weiberg did not reveal much. Obviously, playing the LA schools is the main issue that's coming up, and mainly for the monetary benefits from playing LA (specifically USC) under the current Pac-10 revenue sharing system.
- What will also be at stake is the revenue's of the Pac-12 Network, which the New York Times had a piece on last week. Interestingly, Scott is pushing for the new channel to have more premium games than the Big 10 Network, which carries games not picked up by ABC/ESPN. While nothing it set, this would be an interesting move, one which SBNation blog Black Shoe Diaries rightly questions. The keys to this venture will be money and exposure. If putting better games on the Pac-12 Network furthers those, I'm all for it.
- Ted Miller also has a long piece on his trip with the Pac-10 coaches to New York and then back to LA. It's a good piece on the Pac-10 and its coaches, and includes some fun tidbits on coaching interaction.
- The AP has a profile on Jonathan Stewart preparing for this upcoming NFL season. Though he hasn't missed a game, Stewart has barely practiced since he's been in the NFL due to nagging injuries. Though after offseason surgery, that may finally change. When he is finally healthy, it will be the "best day of his life."
- Rob Moseley previews Oregon's tight end position. While losing Dickson will hurt, David Paulson was one of my favorite players last season, and I'm excited to see what new transfer Brandon Williams can do.
- The Oregonian continues their vote of the best Ducks over the past decade. If you wanted to vote on punt returner, too bad. There's only one option: Keenan Howry, the most prolific punt returner in Oregon history. However, you can vote for best running back, and the options abound. Not shockingly, Jonathan Stewart is cleaning up early.
Got anything else to share? Leave it below. GO DUCKS!

I was thinking about the Masoli situation…a lot of people (weasel-words, I know, but I don’t share this sentiment) try and say he’s a thug, an idiot, gonna end up working at Burger King, etc but I mean, the guy’s coming out of all this with a bachelors degree and a masters in 5 years—not too shabby, he’ll be way ahead of the average American’s education level and will have a pretty good resume, especially when you consider that he doesn’t have a “felony” conviction on his record (the judge, if we’ll remember, took the felony charge and applied misdemeanor treatment to it).
Not too bad if you ask me.
Best of luck to him…I know I’ll be rooting for Ole Miss in the SEC this year
The O is the new U
I doubt he will
Most masters take two years and he’ll be there for a term, maybe two.

Does anyone know when the men's Bball schedule comes out?
If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.
Should be out very soon
I would have expected it out already honestly, but the new coach probably had to change a few games.

We know we're playing Duke at the RG
I’ll go to that one, even though we’ll probably get our asses handed to us.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I'm surprised they arent' selling tix for that one yet
UP is selling tickets for their game against Kentucky at the RG, even though the rest of their schedule isn’t final.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
And they are hosting Portland State on 12/5
According to PSU’s schedule.

I’ll pay for you to go to that one. Just boo Calipari for me non-stop for the whole game. I’ll buy you a hot dog and a medium soda if you boo during halftime too.

Nah, you don’t have to pay for me….

I'll put some money on that as well.
If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.
Is that for certain? When would they play? I heard Thanksgiving.
If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.
November 26 was rumored
Which would be the same day as the Zona game, which means I wouldn’t go see the Ducks probably, watch the FB game on TV instead.
They may be waiting on the Blazers schedule to come out (which it will on 8/10).

Great article on Forbes on college football programs
This has the 20 most valued programs across the college football landscape. I’m surprised Oregon didn’t make the list in all honesty. Oklahoma State (at #20) is on there? I don’t debate the top 10 of their list, and of course they have their own formula for arriving to their conclusions. 15,000 people on a waiting list for season tickets for Alabama, that’s pretty insane. USC is the only Pac-10 team.

Wow on USC at no. 8. You could make a case for all the others, but that simply deems this poll to be porn.
Well, of course they’re going to do that to USC. It is Bruins Nation.
I honestly can’t make a case for Arizona occupying the top spot, though.

They were a last second TD away from that spot last season, and they didn’t lose that many guys. I don’t think it will happen, but there’s definitely a reasonable argument to be made that they could be there.

I think they seriously overachieved last season, though. They also have to travel to Stanford and Oregon.
I think Nebraska exposed them last season. Just my opinion. I just don’t see enough talent in Tucson.

They also host Iowa early on
Iowa may not be as good as either Furd or UO but if they lose that game, we’ll know they aren’t great.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Iowa has a very good chance to beat Arizona. They probably could beat most of the Pac-10 this year.

If they don't keep digging themselves holes
Again like they did last year.
It was their version of our Harrington years, its fun to see your team come back like that many times but after a while its unsustainable.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
USC at number 8 is ridiculous even for Bruin Nation
I think Arizona has a shot at winning the conference but it is not likely, and they certainly shouldn’t be the favorite. We all know that BN is porn, this only reinforces that notion for me.

Your USC talk leader-they spend more time talking about USC than themselves by a factor far greater than even Oregon State talks about Oregon.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It makes for good comedy. Its like that episode of the Brady Bunch, where Jan is jealous that Marcia gets all the attention. Duh Marcia is WAY hotter than Jan! USC is WAY hotter that UCLA. MARCIA, MARCIA, MARCIA!
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
Their analysis is lazy.
I like the vague use of the offseason issues to try and analyze the Ducks. How is the James suspension something that the Ducks are going to have to “weather” to stay in the Pac-10 race. It’s a one-game suspension for an OOC game.
Yep
Further proof that unless the topic is USC, BN is out of its depth.
I think their efforts relative to USC show what they’re capable of, minus the childish stuff. However, they just don’t show the same energy when it comes to analysis of anyone other than USC. BN is the Pac-10 blog I want to take interest in, but just can’t. No community displays more little-guy syndrome than those guys, which confounds me. They’re UCLA for fuck-sake.
I just think they're full of shit
horrible horrible foul smelling shit.

They aren’t even the top party school in their own state.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I didn’t realize UCLA was considered a party school. Having lived in SoCal most of my life, that was never the perception I got.
Santa Barbara is definitely a party school, although I’m surprised one of the San Diego schools isn’t on that list. UCSD is a pretty big party school. Arizona St. is a huge party school as well.

To be honest,
I dont think that UCSD or USD are party schools at all. UCSD is almost the opposite of a party school. USD is really small Jesuit school, so they dont party too much either.
SDSU on the other hand…

The Angels SBN blog I visit is also extremely touchy. Every other team’s fans are idiots, and if you so much stop by there, even to pay a compliment, at least two people will accuse you of trolling.
There is no such thing as good-natured ribbing. The stuff that goes on here between us and Cal or OSU fans would never have a chance there. I don’t know why that is.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
It’s weird though, considering LA fans general perception as being laid back. It’s this weird dichotomy between being casual about sports, but the hardcore fans being completely defensive (probably because they get lumped in with other SoCal fans with the “laid back” label).
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Something like that
Their hardcore fans are so defensive because their fanbase in general sucks.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
When their teams are good they tend to be dicks too
I went to lots of Blazers games last year and the ONLY fans that pissed me off at all were the Laker fans, who were total dicks, doing such fun things as talking trash to kids and refusing to sit down during play.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
You just described all of my experiences with Boston fans at the Rose Garden as well.
Something about those two bandwagons… they really do attract some top notch douche bags.
But Boston at least is a good sports town
LA is not.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Good as in championship producing and a rabid fanbase for successful teams? Yes.
Good people? A big fat no.
Both cities have AWFUL fans. AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL.
I will defend Boston a bit
Since I have relatives from there and saw my first ever MLB game at Fenway.
They are passionate in the extreme mostly in a good way but since they won its gotten annoying.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Give me a break, how do you come to that conclusion? It’s when people make silly, uninformed comments like that that you get backlash. There are lots of bandwagoners for the Lakers – I’ll give you that. The Angels and Dodgers both have very good fanbases, and the hockey teams do as well. The people at the UCLA – Oregon football game I went to were very kind to me as an opposing fan, and we had some good conversation.
There are douches in every fanbase – more in the bandwagon fanbases like the Celtics or Lakers. I had a fan at the Angels blog tell me he couldn’t stand UO fans in Portland because of the way they acted.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I just listen to crowd noise
The crowd noise at an LA stadium is a LOT less than it is at an Oregon or Washington-based facility, etc.
At least they show up, I give them that, not like say Atlanta Hawks fans, who don’t show up for a good basketball team.

or Tampa Bay Rays fans
who don’t sell out for a WS game
"Our expectations are to win every game we play. I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen .... but no one ever rises to low expectations." --Chip Kelly
I have a general rule
Any fanbase that fails to sell out a playoff game in a major sport is not a good one.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That’s true in some cases, although USC and UCLA both play in HUGE stadiums that aren’t nearly as conducive to noise level as Autzen. They are more laid back in general.
I guess I just don’t think laid back = bad sports fans. I’ve been to several Angels playoff games that would approach the noise levels at Autzen.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Being quiet at a college football game is unacceptable.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
That’s not really what I said, though. Even if they were being loud, there’s no way the noise level would approach Autzen.
And I never said they were as good a fanbase as Oregon, just that they don’t deserve the level of scorn they get.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I wasn’t disputing what you said. I was throwing my two cents, late into the discussion.
The two designs of Autzen to help with volume is how close the stands are to the field, and the overhead awning, which only helps the sound of the opposing side, and only adds a little bit.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
Of course I'm going over the top
That’s kind of the point.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I was demonstrating for everyone how touchy LA fans can be when you question their fanhood.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I will admit that dodgers fans are passionate.
Stab-you-in-the-parking-lot passionate. I wear neutral clothes and try to sit around like minded fans when I’m in that stadium. Yikes.
Which sucks because that's the point of SBN
The available to freely wander the blogs makes things interesting. Unfortunately, some are a bit touchy.
This is what I think too
With their fan base you would think they would have a more diverse and interesting viewpoints and perspectives on the PAC. Instead they stifle opinions that don’t tow the party line. Shameful.

Now for something fun
From our friends at EDSBS
http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/2010/8/2/1601015/fulmer-cupdate-oklahoma-state
One of the first things we ever saw on the internet was a video of some bros attempting to break a beer bottle on their own heads. It was then, watching total strangers nearly knock themselves out and then ultimately spilling grotesque amounts of blood when they finally broke one on a human head, well it was then dear reader that we knew these internets were going to be something special. Well, that and the first time we ever saw X-Files fan fiction on a UNIX listserv. A place with blood and alien/FBI agent threesomes simply could not fail.
The internet’s long tradition of bringing you spectacular beer bottle assaults comes via Oklahoma State’s starting defensive end Jamie Blatnik. On Saturday morning, a week after being one of OK State’s three representatives at Big 12 Media days, Blatnik decided to share a beer with Stephen Denning, a former Cowboy teammate. The method of adminstration, however, was a source of some dispute.
According to a news release issued by the Stillwater Police Department, witnesses told officers that Blatnik fought with former Cowboy Stephen Denning inside J.R. Murphy’s, a club located at 306 S Washington, starting the scuffle by striking Denning in the face with a beer bottle.
Denning has a broken orbital socket, and was bleeding as one can only really bleed from a wound to the head (I.e., “profusely.” ) For his troubles, Blatnik received a felony assault and battery charge, and thus earns OK State four points for the three point felony and the requisite bonus point for using a classic barfighting implement successfully. Denning contributes to the bonus by his having charged Blatnik after the fight, and requiring the use of a taser to subdue him. Tasers and bonus points go together like white wine and fish, man, and like those two usually involve vomiting and lying on the floor for prolonged periods, too.

Actually I don’t care all that much, I was just in an argumentative mood last week. I see the pros and cons of each. I like the prospect of better football and the sense of pride from the Pac playing more conference games.
I also like the potential for more money and more/better bowl berths. It’s a win-win, in my mind.

Maybe it’s because it’s more of a “meh” issue in the scheme of it all (alignment, revenue sharing).
I still do like the 8 conference games, but both sides are pretty compelling.

Why?
It is practically a home game for them, Dallas is a lot closer to LSU than UO. So it ends up being a paycheck game with Oregon playing the chump. Unless we win of course, then I’ll be saying of course it was a great idea.

In seriousness, I like watching good football, but I like seeing new matchups as well. And I like the prospect of more wins, on average. The combination of new matchup + an extra win > one more Pac 10 game each season.
When it comes to OOC games, I love to see one great game each season, even if it’s not an automatic win. LSU – Oregon would be fantastic for lots of reasons. Number one is that we’d get to see Chip Kelly completely pants Les Miles.

My list of replacements I’d like to see, but won’t get because it is way too soon and other conferences/teams are pansies. Not particularly in any order.
1. Clemson
2. Nebraska
3. Texas Tech
4. Pittsburgh/West Virginia
5. Iowa
6. Michigan State
7. Auburn
8. Ole Miss
9. Virginia Tech
10. Georgia Tech
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
I would love to see Iowa and I think Georgia Tech would be a great game too.
Some additional games:
Penn St.
TCU
South Carolina

I object to Nebraska. A lot of their rep as playing pansies was the result of other teams going Kansas State and walking away (tOSU comes to mind).
Wait, wait… That’s what I was going to say, then I looked at this year’s Husker OOC schedule = Western Kentucky, Idaho, Washington and South Dakota State. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!
Man, reading Moseley’s piece made me realize that our schedule is REALLY effed up the next few years. So our schedule for 2011 looks like this:
[Crickets]
Nevada
[Tumbleweed]
Although will our game with Utah really be cancelled as Moseley states? I thought they weren’t joining until 2012. I could definitely be wrong there.
Our schedule for 2012:
[Awkward silence]
[More crickets]
Montana Freakin’ State
That’s pretty pitiful, as it stands, especially when you factor in the pretty low quality OOC schedule this year. Any chance we pull of an LSU game? Who else is available?

Utah only needed to give the MWC 1 year notice. Won’t they be Pac-10+1 in 2011?
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
I guess that’s the deal. I think it was Colorado who wasn’t going to be free until 2012, but aren’t they negotiating an earlier departure?

I should've been more specific with that comment
Utah is coming to the conference in 2011.
Or I know some inside scheduling information about Oregon. Dun, dun, dunnnnn
Well, you should, right? I mean, aren’t you our new basketball coach?

Bah. I was planning on going to the KSU game. Here’s hoping we schedule some games within “driving distance” of Chicago.
I just have an image of you in your room chanting “Northwestern! Northwestern! Northwestern!”
You’re also wearing a white t-shirt and red boxers, hunched down in the corner. I don’t know why.

KSU is no surprise,
Snyder is a little wussypotous when it comes to scheduling. If we were the Southern Northern Institute of Technology Middle School, Snyder would come caling in a second to play us!

We should compare collections sometime. I had a bit of a drop of interest after 2002, just started catching up again last year. but i’m closing in on every Duck committed to cardboard.
I don’t have a Mike Mikulak yet. I keep getting outbid on the lower-grade ones and won’t (can’t) justify spending $250 for one.

i have issues finding some of the older ones, but i have a friend in portland who's helping me. all of my cards are autographs excpet for a few.
I’ve got everyone 1998 and forward, ahmad rashad, mel renfro (helmet), fouts, musgrave, pat johnson, alex molden, gary zimmerman. my personal wtf is this favorite is a 3 way tie: a tony graziani arena football league jersey card (they only made 1 year of cards), a chris vincent autograph, and a chris christofferson autograph.

It was a demonstration for a elementary/middle school football camp. I thought i was going up against a coach. Someone forgot to tell me that Kenny Rowe was a guest coach. Dammit. I nearly shit myself. Needless to say i ended up on my back.

really. bad. idea. It doesn’t sound career-threatening at this point, but if he’s in good spirits, it makes me feel better, but i’ll still be surprised if he’s in the lineup opening day 2011
"Our expectations are to win every game we play. I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen .... but no one ever rises to low expectations." --Chip Kelly
It wasn't just that he was happy
The initial stability tests by the trainers were positive. Doesn’t mean he’s not boned, but that’s an encouraging sign.
Oh, he's boned
i would be shocked if he’s got anything less than at least one break and 2 shot ligaments in that knee.

That's probably why he's getting an MRI tomorrow
and if there was concern about a break, there would’ve been X-rays.
Stop. Digging. Don’t you have a dynasty game to play?

I’ve torn a ligament with it snapping before. I was sure that I broke my arm or something, but I tore my RCL. I have first hand knowledge that you’re wrong.
Also, observe Willis McGahee’s injury. For a moment, his entire leg was bent backwards at his knee. Result? Torn ACL, MCL, and PCL.

Worst one I ever saw was when LT ended Theismann’s career back in, what was it, 1984?
That was sickening. It was like his leg just folded sideways. Even made Taylor sick.

Worst one I can remember was Jamaal Wilkes in the last NBA Legends All-Star game. Late 80’s I think. Lower leg shot out to some crazy position, and the look on his face…confused, just like everyone who saw it. Freaky.
It was the injury that ended the Legends game. Weird thing is, I can’t find anything about it on the intertubes. David Stern is all-powerful.
Also, funny thing about that Theismann play – My wife and I just watched The Blind Side and they show that play at the beginning of the movie. My wife saw me cringe when they showed the break, and was like, “What?”
“You didn’t see that?”
“See what?”
“Let me rewind that. Watch his right leg this time.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking…oh…OH, OH MY…THAT”S NOT HIS KNEE…OH."
She saw it that time.
