Quack Fix: GAME DAY!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! It's finally here! In a few short hours, the Ducks will take the field, and college football will be on for real. Here's a bit of quack to get you started on your day.
- Rob Moseley has a sobering thought for us all: Indiana. New Mexico may be bad, but this is college football, and the Ducks need to bring their best. The fact that they're talking about this, and focused at the game at hand bodes well.
- Ken Woody has a short piece in the Register Guard, on the zone blocking schemes the Ducks employ. While short, it's really good, and does a great job describing what the offensive and defensive linemen must do to win that oft-overlooked battle.
- Moseley also has a Q&A with Casey Matthews. If the Ducks defense is gonna take that next step, Matthews will be a huge part of that, and it sounds like he's ready.
- It's tough to get all that excited about New Mexico, but John Hunt has a preview up, and talks a bit about New Mexico's spread attack, and how the Ducks aren't exactly sure what form that will take. But hey, the Duck coaching staff is prepared for the unknown, and can adapt their scheme at any time, unlike some other team.
- There's more than just football going on this fall. Oregon women's soccer won yesterday, beating UC Davis 3-1, and two freshmen made an impact in the first cross country race of the year.
Stick around and discuss all college football, and we'll have an open thread up when game time rolls around. GO DUCKS!

Way to start the Quack Fix off on a positive note….:)
The long wait is almost over, folks! I remember when we were getting excited about eclipsing the 100 days to go mark. Now, the time has come. We’ve got 17 starters returning. We’re debuting a brand new quarterback that could be a very exciting player. We get to see Kenjon Barner run the ball today. We get to see Jeff Maehl snag a DT pass. We get to see Kenny Rowe and Brandon Bair launch an all out attack on UNM’s poor defensive line. We get to see one of the best linebacking corps in the country shut down Demond Dennis. We get to see TJ3, Eddie Pleasant, and the rest of the secondary do their job and limit UNM’s passing attack to almost nothing.
I don’t care if we’re about to play New Mexico, IT’S DUCK FOOTBALL! GET EXCITED!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

That Indiana game was one of my lowest moments in my 25 years as a Duck fan. And then Indiana canceling the return game just made me angrier. I would place a curse on their players in the NFL, but I don’t think they have any….

Does anyone else think it’s funny that when Gameday shows the highlights of the fuskies and Bavers, they show their games from last year against the Ducks in which they both lost?
And in the Yell-O corner, with a 2009 conference record of 8 wins, 1 loss...the REIGNING...DEFENDING...UNDISPUTED Champions of the PAC TEN...the Oregon Ducks!
are those the only games on ESPN that they have rights to? Quizz for like 14 yds against us and they keep showing only those runs.

No. Bavers played against Cinci last year and I’ve seen them show a highlight or two from that one in the past few weeks. Also, I have to think that the fuskies were on ESPN or ABC at least once last year. And if they weren’t, it only adds to the humor for me.

who is less likable? Urban Meyer or Nick Saban? i’m not sure i could root for a team they coach.

After watching some of the behind the scenes stuff with Saban, and that commercial with him and Mack Brown playing Jenga, I have to go with Saban. He seems like he at least has some kind of sense of humor. It’s definitely a battle of who can take them selves more seriously though.

*Answered your question in reverse there. To be clear, Saban is more likable to me. So the answer to your question is Urban Meyer (is less likable).

I've mentioned that I'm originally from the land of (F)BSU.
My dad and brother are both loyal Broncos fans. The only college football games they’ve ever seen have been in Bronco Stadium.
I’ve convinced them to come to a game at Autzen this year to experience an intense college football atmosphere.
They’ve chosen the Fuskies game, and we have already procured the tickets.
I can barely contain my excitement for a game that’s over two months away.

For those of you who were having a sluggish stream from us earlier...
My dad wasn’t expecting people to connect 3 and a half hours before the game… you guys are crazies. Anyway, the higher quality stream is up right now and going. Before the “zomg so choppy can’t use it” come in, I remind you to update your Quicktime if it is not up to date. Second, check your signal strength. If it isn’t too strong, I don’t know what stream will work for you.
If it’s still choppy and you have all the latest ware on a powerful machine with a good connection, the reason will have to be crowdedness of the stream. In which case, there’s not much we can do. If it’s crowded, you can split from the stream and make it better for others, or you can stick it out and wait for others to give up. Survival of the fittest, kids.
Hope it works for you. There are no promises. If it worked for you in games last year, it’s the exact same set-up as last year. Our end hasn’t changed. So if it’s not working this year for you, something’s changed on your end.

Known NFL cuts of local players

http://blog.oregonlive.com/nfl/2010/09/nfl_local_ties_chicago_release.html
Al Afalava, safety, Oregon State: He started 13 games as a rookie last season but the Bears added two starting-caliber safeties in the offseason leaving Afalava on the outside looking in. Look for him to get scooped up in a hurry.
Tony Curtis, tight end, Portland State: Released by San Francisco.
Jeremiah Johnson, running back, Oregon: A dislocated toe against Tampa Bay led to the Texans waiving Johnson. According to the Houston Chronicle, Houston will reach an injury settlement with Johnson and could bring him back to the practice squad.
Keaton Kristick, linebacker, Oregon State: The rookie was released by San Francisco. Might have strong chance to land on a practice squad.
Will Tukuafu, defensive line, Oregon: The rookie, released by San Francisco, was also cut during the summer by Seattle.

Terrance Mitchell being one. Earlier, it seemed all but assured that he had worked his way onto the filed and into the rotation, looks like a redshirt year for him. Unless Cantu is injured, it seems like he should play this season.

Well, they tried that back in the beginning. Problem was that it turned into a mosh pit — the sunken field level combined with the water table, creating a mud surface with some grass rather tenuously knitted to it. That experiment lasted until ’69 when they put in the original AstroTurf.
I don’t recall if the “crown” was original or added in ’69 with the carpet.
