Quack Fix: Masoli to the sidelines, Dunigan to Israel, BYU to the WCC

in Morning Quack Fix
Email
Print[Ed. note- this post was written by PaulSF, but posted by jtlight due to technical issues] One. More. Day. The 2010 college football season starts tomorrow. I can hardly stand it. And with the Ducks opening their season on Saturday, there's no shortage of Quack, but I tried to trim it down to the good stuff. Here's your last offseason Morning Quack Fix. Enjoy!
- The big headlines yesterday belonged to former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, whose request for a waiver to allow him to play this fall for Ole Miss was denied by the NCAA. Ole Miss is expected to appeal the ruling. I can honestly say I was disappointed when I heard the news for two reasons: One, I'm honestly rooting for Masoli to succeed in what will ultimately be his last chance, and two, I'm really tired of hearing about his saga. Call me insensitive, but it's mostly the latter.
- Reports yesterday afternoon indicated Oregon center Michael Dunigan was set to sign a three-year contract to play professionally in Israel. However, as Dave noted in a post yesterday, these reports are unconfirmed. It sounds like he has yet to decide. This would be another setback for the post-Ernie Kent Ducks, but let's hope Dunigan makes the right decision for himself and his career.
- The Oregonian's Ken Goe and John Hunt were both busy yesterday, with features on Darron Thomas, Brandon Bair, the Ducks' potential impact true freshmen, as well as the offensive and defensiveplayers to watch this weekend.
- Rob Moseley also has a couple of good pieces this morning. First, he has a blog post on Chip Kelly and how he works with his QBs. He also has a piece on Oregon's reserves, and the role that they are expected to play this season. This is one of the deepest teams Oregon's ever assembled, and it should be fun to watch.
- Speaking of Thomas, ESPN.com's Ted Miller compares him to Dennis Dixon in this week's video mailbag. Interesting fact I was not aware of: Nate Costa's 40-yard dash time is actually slightly faster than Thomas's.
- Also from Miller, his top 10 Pac-10 Heisman candidates, with LaMichael James coming in at No. 3.
- Good news and bad news from a few former Ducks. First, the good: It looks like rookie cornerback Walter Thurmond III's situation with the Seattle Seahawks just got a little better. On the flip side, former Oregon hoops star Malik Hairston has been released by the Italian team that signed him a mere month ago.
- It looks like BYU has finally found a home...in the West Coast Conference?! I'll be honest...this one shocked me. With Boise State and now Fresno State and Nevada joining the Mountain West, I just don't see how this adds up for the Cougars to go independent in football. With these new additions, it would seem the Mountain West is a lock to become an automatic qualifying BCS conference. Did BYU just shoot itself in the foot?

Many of you have tried to use the simple attack of 42-3 as some sort of aggression. I find this to be trite, derivative, and without creative merit.
Let this be a warning to you that if you still attempt to use the one trick pony of 42-3 in the usually creative ATQ+CGB battles that we love so much, I will have no choice, but to deploy the true nuclear option.

FBSU gets bashed
Although the idea that ND is no longer the most hated team in the NCAA is a crock.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-boise083110
On New Year’s Day, 2007, upstart Boise State used a series of trick plays (capped by a Statue of Liberty 2-point conversion and ensuing marriage proposal) to upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
That night the Broncos were college football darlings – if not loved then at least appreciated by nearly everyone outside of Norman.
Fast forward five seasons and Boise State is bigger, better and suddenly no longer so popular. In some circles, they’ve become the most hated – or at least rooted against – team in America. Move over Notre Dame.
Boise still has plenty of fans, many of whom would love to see the third-ranked Broncos put together another unbeaten season and crash not just any BCS bowl, but the title game. It would serve as the ultimate comeuppance to the despised way college football crowns its champion.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I dunno, I think the only reason we’re down on FBSU is because of their unwanted interference with our northwest hegemony.
That, and their fans are by and large arrogant n00b putzes.

Okay, but I can recall a lot of cheap shots by opposing players over the years, and we don’t add an F in front of their team names.
Fresno State comes to mind. Of course they already have an F.

Or is FCSUF? Not to be mixed up with Cal State Fullerton of course. How the hell does the alphabet soup work within the Cal State system anyway?
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
But we do say Bavers / Barkrats / etc. etc. and we got all over them for Afalava.
Is an F the only meme that expresses true hatred?
There are the Fuskies, I suppose that supports your point.

by Bill Musgrave on Sep 2, 2010 5:51 AM PDT up reply actions
I'm just saying, this thing built up.
Your example of Fresno State is a good one, we DID hate them when we were playing them regularly, it’s just that no one thought up a fun meme for them. We also beat them regularly, so it’s a lot easier not to come up with bitter nicknames for the team you defeat.
I think FBSU is more of a meme that is created out of bitterness from losing than it is real hatred. You allude to this above, we’re pissed that they’ve outshined our recent success. I don’t disagree that the fans have created a lot of it, but I think it starts with the cheap shot (and the loss), then gets worse in the emotions tied up in the next loss and the Blount debacle, and all the way includes fan behavior.
It’s just interesting to me that the cheap shot has dropped from the conversation, it was the original reason that game #2 had a lot of anger built into it, go back and look at those posts. Blount thought to himself “I’m going to make that irrelevant”, and put on his big show. Or maybe he didn’t think.

BYU moving to the WCC means one thing
They think the WAC is dead, and they are probably right.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Utah State will probably get a MWC invite, as they’ll want to preserve the infrastructure for the Mtn. that they have in Utah. They’ll need another team, and it could end up being SJSU for political reasons (the Cal State schools want to be together). Hawaii will likely go independent in football. Idaho and New Mexico State are screwed.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
I was talking to someone here at Portland State athletics
And they have no interest in moving to the WAC. They feel its not stable and they frankly don’t want to commit a lot of $ to new facilities (a basketball arena mostly) if they aren’t sure they’ll have a league when its finished.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
not surprising in the least
thats a huge move, and you would have to be sure you would be in a place where you could succeed.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
That being said
They still want to build a 3-5k seat basketball arena on campus in the next 5-7 years.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
they really need to
the Stott isn’t a viable option and they can’t play regularly at the Rose Quarter. I think PSU’s athletic department has a lot of potential, but they haven’t marketed themselves properly at all.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
A big part of the reason they just built the new student activities center
Which I can see from my cube in the Urban Center, is so they can gut and massively upgrade Stott without jeopardizing non-student athlete recreation/workout options.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
can they really upgrade it into a viable arena, though?
because for the PSU program to grow, they have to start getting a few home games against teams that aren’t completely craptacular. They’ll need at least 4K seats to do that. Can they put 4K seats in the Stott without a complete tear down and rebuild (I’ve only seen it on TV, never actually been to a game there)
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
The space is there to do that
It would be a huge renovation but they could do it.

The gray jersey just looks weird with the pants being that bright blue.
I mean, I’m all for uniform innovation. I’m one of the few people who think teams who look slick in really cool uniforms make the game just a little more enjoyable to watch.
But Boise State’s regular uniforms are much better than these. The gray jersey would look better balanced with gray pants that incorporated maybe a blue gradient or something. Otherwise, it just looks so abrupt.
I really dig the helmet though. Those are keepers.

I like the helmet,
But everything else is just plain awful. That has to be one of the ugliest jerseys I have ever seen. Grey does not work with many colors, especially orange.

I don’t care much for Oregon State look. Maybe I’ve seen too much flash, but they are dull, and not in the “dull, but CLASSY” way.
Ohio State, is a bit cooler, but I actually like their regular ones more in about every way.
TCU is sick as hell. I don’t care for purple on uni’s, but it’s I dig theirs.
VT? Umm… “whatever” comes to my mind. The matrix numbers is trippy.
West Virginia? I dig the hell out of these. I know they aren’t their colors, blah blah blah. Shut up, it’s slick as hell.

TCU 2nd, with Miami a near 3rd. Oregon State is my least favorite.
FBSU’s is just too asymmetrical (I like asymmetry, but that’s ridiculous). I love the design of the helmet, but I’m not sure about the naked side of it. The asymmetry isn’t balanced.

I had two nightmares last night:
1) I caught my wife and Masoli texting each other. I asked my wife what the hell happened to beginning of this thread and she replies, “Masoli told me to get rid of the evidence.”
2) I was at the Athletic Department at UO and there was a frenzy of panic. CK was heading to another team. I asked what the hell was going on and someone replied, “CK told some freshman to pound sand that were complaining and the AD won’t stand behind him,” to which everyone replied, “oh, you can’t do that on the west coast.”

Is the MWC a lock for BCS status?
As it stands right now, they are:
+ Boise State, Nevada, Fresno State
- Utah, BYU.
They’ve added 1 top team and added 2 to the middle, but they’ve lost 2 top teams. It looks like, as a conference, the Mountain West is basically sitting where it was before the expansion, with a little more depth and a little less star power at the top. It’s probably not more than an even trade in auto-qualifying math now that BYU’s gone, which might shut them out.
And from a fan-support standpoint, they just lost their largest draw by far.
It is tough to say.
Boise State/Utah for the most part replace each other as a perennially good team. But BYU is much better than FSU/Nevada ever are, or will be. The MWC lost a good team in BYU and replaced it with two 5 to 7-win teams.

they wont be a BCS conference unless the ACC implodes.

If that happens they probably wont' be either
The remaining Big 5 will renegotiate the deal to keep them out.

Or the Big East.
I would say that the Big East would be more likely to get torn apart in another conference realignment frenzy that will inevitably happen in a few years when the Big-12 has “issues” than the ACC.
Or the MWC could replace the Big-12 if when that gets completely killed.

When the hell we start seeing 200+ comments in every MQF? Last year was way slower. The most comment in a MQF in August 2009 was 100, the least was 2, and the average was 29 comments per MQF. What a difference a year (and a Rose Bowl) makes!

I guess I missed why OSU lost a point though. WE WERE TIED, and the score was tallied before the news came out that he was pissing on a computer!

They didn’t add a point for pissing on the computer, and they said they aren’t breaking the tie so we can be the most ruckus-some state.

I know they didn't. However, the final score was Oregon 14; Oregon State 13.

The only other development of interest: we gave a total of five points to Oregon State for Nude Taser Rhino, because if any event demanded extra bonus points, it’s a drunk nude football player in a three-point stance charging the cops. The state of Oregon now stands tied at 14 points a piece for UO and OSU, and no ties will be broken here since the state should accept the state prize for THE STATE MOST RUCKUS-SOME in college football with unified pride. Well done, assorted tipsy Beavers and Ducks.

Huh. I like it.

Kelly says on @1080TheFAN that he doesn’t know if Bennett will RS or not but ‘you can’t predict what will happen and if Bryan had to go in for us I’d be comfortable with Bryan.’ Interesting statement from Coach Kelly.
"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
"Interesting statement from Coach Kelly"?
He’s a coach saying he likes his third string QB. Really a shocker considering he recruited him with 4 stars next to his name and he played like his hair was on fire in camp.
I don’t see what the downside is to attempting to redshirt him this year. For all we know Thomas and Nate will be all we need. We could always burn it if we absolutely have to. If he goes the whole year without playing, he’s redshirted.
My yoke is heavy.
played like his hair was on fire in camp.
I’m trying to figure out how this is a good thing… My mental image has Bennett running around screamng and smacking his head. Not exactly poised and effective as a QB…
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-L-W-A-R-M-A-N-D-F-U-Z-Z-Y"
Well,
A QB literally on fire would be pretty intimidating for the opposing defense. Who in their right mind would want to tackle somebody thats on fire? You would risk lighting yourself on fire.
Actually, lighting our players on fire seems like a pretty good idea now…

Kelly said in not so many words that they will attempt to redshirt him, but won’t hesitate to go ahead and play him should injuries dictate a need.

Here's how that conversation would go...
USC: Hey guys, we’re going independent! Hope there’s not hard feelings! Hey, just for kicks, any way you guys would still schedule us sometimes so we could play a decent enough schedule to have a chance of making it to championship games? And maybe could you, you know, maybe keep all our non-revenue teams so they don’t have to go to the WCC also?
