Quack Fix: prepping for Portland State and baseball starts fall practice
With Tennessee in the rear-view mirror, the Ducks will move on to Portland State this week in their final tune-up before conference play begins. Here's your Tuesday quack fix -- enjoy!
- Moseley writes that the Ducks are not looking past Portland State. Darron Thomas has his own motivation for this weekend as he will face two of his former prep teammates who now play for the Vikings.
- Jackson Rice was named Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week after his performance Saturday at Neyland Stadium. Rice averaged 41.8 yards on four punts, all of which were downed inside the 20 and none of which yielded any return yardage. This is the second straight week that an Oregon player has been recognized as the conference's special teams player of the week.
- In Moseley's practice blog entry from yesterday, Chip Kelly had this to say about Cliff Harris:
He’s getting better. He’s still got some work to do at corner, but he made a couple really nice plays for us. He almost played the same amount of snaps as (starter) Anthony (Gildon). Again, I think people make too much (about) who starts, who doesn’t start. I got a question about our backup D linemen; we don’t have any backup D linemen, we play nine guys. He’s not a backup corner; they play the same amount of reps.
- The final installment of the recruiting roundtable with Rob Moseley, Chris Courtney and Matt Prehm has been posted and this time they discuss other potential targets for the upcoming recruiting class.
- Fall practices for baseball opened this week and Bob Clark writes about the team's search to replace the graduated Eddie Rodriguez at catcher. There seems to be a lot of options, with seven catchers on the roster, and Clark sounds optimistic about three of the newest Ducks stepping up to contribute.
- Jim Beseda from the Oregonian blogs that Coach Horton is expecting even bigger things from the team this year: "You take the kids that we've developed the last two years, and you add what we think is potentially a pretty spectacular recruiting class, and I think we might be ready to make a little bit of a splash in college baseball this year."
- The women's volleyball team has moved up to #16 in the latest AVCA National Poll. The volleyball team jumped three spots in the poll and is still undefeated after going 4-0 last week.
- Last year's NCAA champion women's indoor track and field team was honored at the White House on Monday. The women's team was one of 30 teams present to receive a congratulatory address from President Obama.
And that's your quack fix for today. There is a short video package from KVAL that previews PSU and talks about the Tennessee game after the jump.
Go Ducks!

I can’t stress enough how far our baseball team has come in such a short time. For CWS to be the expectation in year three is more than any of us could have imagined. I love Coach Horton.

The problem with the NCAA regulations he is quoting there is that I’ve routinely seen coaches bring pictures of defensive coverages to the QB when a interception is thrown.
I can’t say I’ve ever seen the pictures on a college sideline. I know they do it in the NFL, but I haven’t seen it myself in college. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen, I just can’t recall ever seeing it.

I was watching a couple of games from last year and Masoli was given a couple of pictures to look at. after some picks
With that said, the regulations do seem pretty cut and dry on that issue so now I am a little confused why the pictures were provided.
This is a non story
They’re making a giant leap to assume that “review” means “watch film”.
Also, I see QBs being given photos all the time from several teams.

am i the only one that takes this article as a shot at the Pac 10 and Oregon? Tenn got blown out by (GASP!) a team from the west coast. do they even know how to play football out there?
Tennessee, coming off its worst beating in Neyland Stadium history against Oregon, didn’t get to this point overnight. Similarly, one person didn’t bring this program down by himself.
Senile Bobby Bowden’s comment on GameDay Saturday morning still annoys me. He said something to the fact that “Oregon’s gonna find out that we play some defense down here in The South.” ugh.
moral to the story: i’m glad we helped push Tennessee off the cliff they were slowing walking towards. saying that, all the Tennessee fans last week have been great – this is more skewed toward the media and SEC vs The World debate.

Garrett certainly didn't think they had done anything wrong

Though it makes more sense that Dunigan left so abruptly. Altman has got to be thinking he has stepped into a nightmare!
Yeah, at least we won't have many wins to forfeit from the last two seasons
I just hope we don’t lose scholarships. It’s going to hard enough to recruit guys to play for us and even harder if they know we’re going to be on probation for two years (or whatever the NCAA decides to do). I’d sure hate to be Altman.

I really hope this isn’t the case, and let’s not jump to too many conclusions until we know anything more.

I’d hate to have to retract any statements once all the facts are known.

I do too.
I know the coaches can talk and talk and talk about compliance issues with the players, but can’t be blamed if players do something in spite of all the talk. I appreciate all the great things that Coach Kent did for the University and his program.
I do hope people will support Altman as he really has a tough job that has just gotten even tougher.
I think people will support Altman, because I think we’ll be competitive sooner rather than later (and by that I mean we’ll win games we shouldn’t in 2-3 years, and have higher than we shouldn’t expectations in 3-4 years).
Plus, it’s also good that Altman has the support of the AD and the boosters that he needs to build this program from the ground up. I just feel bad he’s had to be the firefighter that he’s been the last couple of weeks, putting out fires of the program.

Catron may be better, Longmire is still struggling with school, Elorriaga is on crutches, Fearn’s hand is hurt and who knows what else.
and who knows what else.
Armstead’s check didn’t clear… ok bad joke. Anyway, it’s bad, I don’t think anyone will disagree, even Altman. The good news is, we have facilities, good coaches, a great arena, and it won’t be long until benzduck is writing his TWITS Hoops Dreams and we’re all reminiscing about what was and what will be.

I've got great seats in the new arena
so I’ll be there, but it’s a long drive from PDX to be there just to show our support.
Not sure it matters...
Next two years are throw aways regardless… They now know they are in total rebuild mode after all that has happened… They’ll have the fans and the new stadium to pick them up… oh… and a nice phat contract… seven years…

I feel like because
Altman was able to find players to fit his system at Creighton… he’ll be able to find at minimum slighly better players that fit his system at the O even with big obstacles like that.

we're nowhere near being in that much trouble yet
it may get there, but no point in worrying about that until we have a better grasp on what we’re dealing with.

with Big Mike...
I think it is just a matter of how far the rabbit hole goes down… The minute I heard of this pro contract I knew we were at least in some kind of trouble… I was just praying it was only during the off season before he played a game… now I’m not so sure… and the fact that the release says “multiple players” is concerning and goes all the way back to 08-09! My goodness… but seriously… if Dunigan does bring the program down… was there anybody who did less for a school?
by Duckity_Duck on Sep 14, 2010 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions
At least we now know it probably had nothing to do with
Altman not connecting with EK’s kids. He may or may not have, but the kids leaving might have had more to do with the extra benefits.
Unbelievable...
Potential violations during EK’s two worst seasons? Speechless… just speechless… At least the University’s response is very above board to the naked eye.

Sorry, that's my fault
I went lobbying for increased powers so that you and I could collectively ban all the high school guys, Daisy, and Musgrave when he gets out of hand, but instead Jared just said, “no, but now you have to do more than just be creative.”
Kind of backfired. Sorry man.

Not “you guys” just me. I’m tired of getting picked on by you. I can handle Musgrave’s badgering and benzduck’s snide comments, but when you do it, it just hurts. You cut deep Daisy.

We all know that you’re just figureheads so that when SBN regulators come poking around here on the trail of “illegal benefits (and substances) taken by ATQ contributors,” Dave’s going to go write professionally in Israel, Jared and Nick are going to transfer to CGB, and Dom is going to cite “family issues” and step down.
