Quack Fix: Ducks face Justin Wilcox again, Beard ready for his starting debut

PrintWe're two days away from Oregon taking on the Volunteers in Neyland Stadium, and I can't wait. Let's get to the quack!
- Justin Wilcox has been a thorn in the Ducks side the last two years as the DC of Boise State. Now at Tennessee, many are expecting him to give the Volunteers defense a boost, but he's not looking at it that way. The former Oregon defensive back says there's no "magic pill" for stopping the Oregon offense, and what happened in the past will have no bearing on this weeks game. But Wilcox is one of the better DC's in the country, and will have his defense prepared for the Ducks, and it will be up to them to execute.
- John Hunt also has a story on Wilcox (which includes an audio interview of Wilcox by Canzano). While a lot of stock is being put in last years BSU game, Oregon OC Mark Helfrich has some interesting comments. It wasn't all Wilcox that limited Oregon to 8 points, but a combination of great play by Boise, and complete lack of cohesion by the Ducks. With a week under their belts, that should be a problem for the Ducks this year.
- George Schroeder also has a piece on the Volunteers coaching staff, focusing on new head coach Derek Dooley, who has a huge job ahead of him rebuilding a program that has languished the last few seasons. A win against Oregon would go a long way in that process.
- Oregon will have one player making his starting debut this weekend, kicker Rob Beard. I've been very impressed by Beard's work ethic over the past year, and how he's changed up his technique to increase his accuracy in the kicking game. He'll have his mental toughness challenged on Saturday, which should give us an idea where our kicking game stands for the rest of the season.
- The Michael Dunigan saga is dragging on, and no one seems to know Dunigan's status. If he leaves, Oregon will have only 9 scholarship players, but at least the Ducks picked up a 2011 recruit, 3* PF Austin Kuemper out of Westview High School.
- With the athletics season now underway, new Oregon AD Rob Mullens is continuing his learning process and settling into his new position. He sat down with the guys at the Register Guard and conducted a very long Q&A, and the entire transcript is posted online. It's long, so be prepared, but it's good to get to know Mullens a bit, and hear about his interactions with everyone around the athletic department and university.
- Lastly, we all love the Oregon mascot, and Ken Goe caught up with one of the students that dons the costume.

And former Tennessee-Media guy, and ESPN’s Resident “Never Pick Tennessee To Do Anything Good Ever They’ll Never Win A Game See I’m Not A Homer I Promise” man, has this to say:
Oregon 38, Tennessee 21: It’s never easy to come all the way across the country to play a football game, but this is an Oregon team that’s playing on a different level right now than Tennessee. The Vols might hang around for a while, but they don’t have the depth, talent or experience to take down the No. 7 Ducks, who are the class of the Pac-10 this season.

yeah i know
i meant along the lines of people talking about oregon as a national title contender. because with masoli gone “experts” said that they didn’t think we could win it all. if we destroy Tennessee will that change their minds? and the voters?
If we crush Tennessee, then there will definitely be a bit of buzz building, which will only continue to grow the more we win.

If we "destroy" Tennessee, which I'm willing to bet we won't, it will seriously legitimize our team.

Dunigan No Loss
Just a quick note on the big guy—he has NO HANDS! Watching him over the past couple of years confirmed my suspicion that he has gotten to the major college level on height alone…his basketball skills don’t warrant his headlines. Always hate to lose a
7-footer but his departure would mean another scholarship from which to build a new team.
but it takes time to fill that scholarship
at this point, quite honestly, we need bodies

I read an interview with Jordan Kent at some point
where he said the biggest hurdle he had to battle when trying to go two-sport was the concern of injury.
And he was a sixth man at best.
I would be really surprised if Chip Kelly would freely let someone like Barner, who could at any time in the next few season become our starting rb, become a full-fledged two sport.
Not saying I think he could or would completely bar it, but I think he would fight it.
Also, some of these hoopers that did not pan out were highly coveted, and still did not have what it takes to excel t the pac-10 level. The chance that these FB players are going to be productive on a team without a truly skilled core is slim to nil, in my opinion.
I heart taxes.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Actually
It is a bit on the edge for me. If one team rolls I expect the reason to be because the other team’s offense has struggled, so a, say, 35-17 score either way is something I forsee. If it becomes a struggle I’d see something like 28-24, and both of those numbers are below 53…

Not UW's year
http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10/post/_/id/12745/washington-loses-punter-to-injury
Washington’s senior punter Will Mahan, who averaged 40.6 yards last year, suffered a knee injury in practice Tuesday and will be out for the season.
Mahan tore both his ACL and MCL when his knee got rolled during a drill.
The punting job now falls to walk-on Kiel Rasp, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound junior who has never punted in a game.
“He’s got a great leg. He’s been terrific all training camp,” coach Steve Sarkisian told the Seattle Times. “The key is, you’ve just got to go into a game and catch the ball and punt it, which he hasn’t had to do. Sooner or later, we all have to experience (performing under pressure). He’s given us all the confidence he can do that.”
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
So their most experienced player is now out?
"I have a very strong distaste for Oregon State and Washington. Also Stanford.
He wasn't even that good
After all, it was a blocked punt by us for a TD that really turned the momentum of last year’s game vs. them for good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That does suck. Hated enemies though they may be, I feel bad for the kid.

Yes and no
I mean yeah you want them to have all their players but how lame would it be if after we smoke the Huskies again they say “Yeah? Well we didn’t have our punter!” I know punters are important and bad punting ruins lives but I think UW has bigger problems if they are saying they lost because they didn’t have their punter.

Being a fan from SoCal, I can tell you that while the stereotypes of LA fans are exaggerated, they are grounded in something. Big games and playoff games get really loud around here, but there isn’t the same level of enthusiasm at other times.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
You can tell that on TV
Granted TV mutes sounds a bit but just look at how many empty seats they were during intros of each of the Lakers Finals home games this year.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don’t really want to get into this – but LA’s a different place. Despite what 24 might make you believe, there is traffic AT ALL TIMES. It takes at least an hour to get anywhere downtown, even if you’re two blocks away from where you want to go. And there is ZERO public transportation, which means everybody needs to find a parking spot. Which usually happens to be at least three blocks away from where you’re trying to go. Empty seats at the beginnings of playoff games are, a vast majority of the time, not the result of bad or unenthusiastic fans.

OT but Joe Montana vs. Rudy
Hall of Famer Joe Montana, then a lowly freshman lingering somewhere on the depth chart, doesn’t remember it quite as harshly. But as he told radio host Dan Patrick on Wednesday, he certainly doesn’t remember any uplifting strings swelling in the rafters, either:
DP: Were you there when Rudy was there?
JM: Yeah. It’s a movie, remember. Not all of that is true.
DP: What wasn’t true?
JM: Well, the crowd wasn’t chanting. No one threw in their jerseys. He did get in the game. He got carried off [at the end of] the game. […] Back then they tried to play someone at the end of [the season] that all the seniors could get in the last home game. The schedule was kind of set that way.
So he got in. He did get a sack. And then the guys carried him off, just playing around. I won’t say it was a joke, but it was playing around. He worked his butt off to get where he was and to do the things he did. But not any harder than anyone else

I am sure someone else has mentioned this as well, but this Wilcox lovefest is ridiculous.
It’s not like he has this super insight into the spread offense and it’s weaknesses. Let’s take a look at the two games.
2008 – Oregon’s starting QB is knocked out and we are forced to play Chris (I throw worse than a powder puff QB) Harper. It’s hard to operate your offense when playing true freshman who the defense has a free reign to stack the box against. His defense didn’t look so good once Thomas started slinging the ball around.
2009 – I give him a little more credit for this but even then Oregon was a complete mess even without the Boise State defense. I’ve heard from a couple different people that not all the coaches were on the same page during that game which contributed to the Chaos we witnessed. Additionally this was Masoli at his worst : locking on a WR (he seemed incapable of seeing anyone but Maehl), exhibited horrible ball control, and making bad reads on the option read. Factor in a new o-line I am pretty certain that Boise State has done anything that other coaches haven’t tried.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about the same thing. I think some outlets, especially the Oregonian, like to dig into Oregon Failures of the Past. Overall, it’s an easy extra angle, and easy extra story.

It will be interesting to see who has made Boise State into the power it is.
And as the coaches get picked off, it will be easier to note. I think its Chris Peterson, plain and simple. The worst move Dan Hawkins made was failing to bring his staff with him.
Maybe BSU only plays 2 or 3 real games a year but the intensity they show is incredible at times. The beginning of the VT game showed that, but I give so much credit to Peterson for not wilting and being poised to win on the final drive.

You're in a Tennessee college town.

Chick-Fil-A is slowly moving west.
I believe they have started in LA and its only a matter of time before they are in Oregon. Hopefully when I have to leave the south in 2012, they’ll be there.

Apparently there are many Del Tacos in Oregon I was unaware of. Unfortunately there weren’t any in Eugene, which severely limited my late night options for satisfying the bad fast food craving.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
There used to be one in Eugene, back in the mid-late 70s. Not sure if the building is still there — it might have been chewed up as part of the Ferry St Bridge / Club Rd project — but it was right across Club from what’s now McMenamin’s North Bank.
I don’t remember the food being all that exceptional, but then I didn’t eat there much.
Aren’t there several Taco Bells still in Eugene? They’re open late most places..

Here is my great hypocrisy. I think Taco Bell is pretty gross. But I love Del Taco.
Also, true story…one of my first “I know I’m not in Southern California any more” moments in college was when I was traveling with the club water polo team. We stopped at a Taco Bell somewhere along the way (in the Portland area, I think). They had something called “Mexi-Nuggets” on the menu. These were tater tots with paprika and chili powder on them. This would not fly in SoCal. I was far from home.

We Portlanders often stop big chains from coming into our city, which is why Del Taco, El Pollo Loco, Fatburger (soon I believe), Sonic and places like WalMart open up in Vancouver, Beaverton and Gresham but not in Portland. Portland is a unique place and most of us prefer our businesses to be local

Religion’s just one of those things that people should just keep to themselves. Unless, that is, they make delicious fast food like IN-N-OUT… then I’ll suffer through their god-speak.
I’ve always heard about it but I’ve never actually sought out these god-squad messages, so it doesn’t bother me. They’re selling the things… it’s my choice not to buy if it’s a problem.

Not to get into the debate, and in many ways I agree with this. The problem is that it tends to be mandated by the religion to do the opposite. I have no problem with ignoring the John 3:16s, Tebow Eye Liner, and a couple numbers on random fast food cups.
Not leaving me alone when I ask them to, “ambushing” me, and forcing me into a situation that I can’t simply ignore it, does bug me.

I see your point there. I’m speaking more about the ambush-type recruiting tactics.
Slightly OT, but I have a “NO SOLICITORS PLEASE” sign on my mailbox and have had religious types knock on my door twice now. Each time I mention the sign and the fact that I don’t really want people coming to my door selling or promoting ANYTHING, they’ve each said something along the lines of how they don’t see what they’re doing as soliciting. Sigh…
I have a no soliciting sign as well,
and it doesn’t stop anyone, ever. So annoying. They still stroll up to my door and try to sell me new windows or collect for the Portland Mission. I think it’s probably because the intellect of these individuals may be suspect and they actually have no idea what the definition of ‘soliciting’ is.

Christianity demands that it be shared with others. You are certainly free to reject it, but it’s a bit of a paradox – you say I’m free to practice my religion as long as I don’t share it with you, while in order to practice my religion, I HAVE to share it with you. There are some tactics that are more invasive than others (and so are almost certainly ineffective and often counter-productive). But at the end of the day it’s hard to reconcile the two points of view.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I’ve learned to respectfully disengage over the years. While not incredibly devout, I was raised and still identify as Catholic, so I usually just let them know that I’m all stocked up on religion.
It’s the door to door crap that really tries my patience. But oh well.

I know some of y’all have made this trek before. Is Spokane too far away to make it worth staying there? How about Lewiston? Any other suggestions?

I want to say 1st and foremost that I am thouroughly looking forward to another great
football season for Oregon ! Growing up in Eugene and playing my High school FB
games in Autzen. I think this is the best TEAM we have ever had ! it will Take a few weeks for the polls the find a balance but i do believe we are a top 3 team. This week i predict
UO 47 Vols 17. I am excited to see how things shape up , if Oregon can truly run the table
( I think so ) and how many teams will be udefeated at the end of he Season. I hope for
the good of all football there are 4 or 5 undefeated eams T THE END OF THE YEAR.
WE need a PLAYOFF system after he bowls
The Ducks will definitely get snubbed again ( if they rubn the table )

Beer and Produce
I’m not a drinker, but my roomate appreciates beer, in massive quantities, as often as possible. After seeing all the debate on fruit in beer I asked him for his take on the issue:
Me: “Some people drink beer with fruit in it, like a slice of lemon or lime.”
Him: “Why the hell would you do that?”
Me: “Well, because it tastes better.”
Him: “If you’re drinking beer for the taste, you’re doing it wrong.”
If you’re drinking beer forthea fruity taste, you’re doing it wrong.
good beers tatste great, like Tricerahops … bad beers taste terrible, but no beer should taste like juice … that’s what juice and vodka is for
Sigh…beer with fruit in it doesn’t taste like juice. Any more than putting a lemon in ice tea makes it taste like juice. It simply enhances the flavor of an already tasty beverage.
But I suppose saying that for the 800th time isn’t going to convince anybody. I don’t drink beer to get drunk, so I suppose I’m doing it wrong too.
