Quack Fix: Cliff Harris' suspended license takes center stage

PrintA big win at Colorado followed up by more Cliff Harris issues. A decent amount of quack out there this morning.
- Well, shit. Cliff Harris was out driving again yesterday. Without a seatbelt, license or insurance. Harris has been suspended and will be withheld from all team activities. Here are stories on the latest incident by Moseley and Aaron Fentress,
- Moseley's feature today is on Oregon's punt coverage team which has been outstanding this year. Rob notes that the teams is currently ranked first in the nation in net punting and has allowed only 41 yards on 27 punts. That is pretty remarkable.
- Fentress also looks at Oregon's penchant for having big second halves, particularly in games where the Ducks are close or losing at half. Fentress notes that in 10 such games, Oregon has outscored their opponents 257-68 after the break.
- Bob Clark today examines the generally poor records former conference coaches have had at other schools, including Bob Toledo, Mike Price, Dick Tomey and others. He uses this as a caution to Mike Bellotti to not be too eager to find another coaching gig. Personally, if Bellotti truly wants to coach again, I hope he finds the right fit and finds a lot of success, even if it is in the Pac-12.
- Oregon and Stanford again swapped places in Ted Miller's weekly power rankings, with the Ducks back in the #2 position. Miller also tabs Josh Kaddu as his weekly defensive standout after his performance against the Buffaloes on Saturday. Finally, Darron Thomas was one of four conference QBs named as semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien award.
- Also, KEZI talks with Terrell Turner about how guests on his "Rollin' Live with 45" segment seem to have big games after their appearances.
- While there is still no official plan on what to do with Mac Court, it is currently being used for club sports and intramurals. The plan that seemed to have the most traction a year or two ago was to use the site as a new home for the architecture school, though a decision had never been made on whether to renovate the existing building or tear it down and build something from scratch.
Go Ducks!

Shu is actually planning on making millions on his tell-all memoir.
It is a harrowing tale of youngsters, released into the wild reaches of the Sierra Nevadas, who form their own society and rules — they can only talk with a conch shell.
Totally original and completely not stolen. It’s going to be the next Harry Potter, except that it’s going to be true.
I don't mean to impose...
So, if they grew up in the Sierras...
…where did they get a conch shell? Is this why I suck at watching movies?
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
Okay, I'm confused.
They can only speak TO the conch shell?
They can only speak WHILE HOLDING the conch shell?
“Conch shell” is a new accent/form of slang I’ve never heard of?
These burning questions threaten to consume me, much like they did to HRD’s poor gangbanger kittens.

i have a hard time believing
that a conch shell could be carried by a native migratory animal. you see, the air speed velocity of the bird would be slowed down by the conch shell, making it extremely hard for the bird to maintain the required air-speed velocity required for that type of flight.

I had a terrible dream last night that my ex-girlfriend found me, told me I was the father of 4 children (Despite the fact that we never… shopped for kids) and I was somehow legally forced to marry my-ex to the dismay of my current girlfriend.
My first reaction in the dream was that in order to pay for the back-charge of child support that I owed to ourselves, I decided to sell my children on sellyourchild.com and after I got rid of all the 4 children, we got happily divorced.
I woke up… confused.

Your ex-girlfriend holds a deep dark secret (represented by the 4 rugrats) over your head that you are afraid your current girlfriend will find out about. In order to purge your guilt over this, you should tell us all the secret. We won’t tell anyone, promise.

Seems like all the recruits (read: divas) that the fans want (Pryor, brown, etc) end up not doing so well. Maybe CK’s approach, discipline and judgement are even better than we give him credit for.

Aren't they all the next Reggie Bush?

He was hyped that way.
Mainly because he was dominant in high school football, and went to a high school 15 minutes away from Reggie Bush’s high school. The comparisons were inevitable.

From a nostalgia perspective I agree completely
I was there when Ernie had to get on the mic and tell us to stop jumping bc the rim was shaking during free throws, I was there when Richard Jefferson fell into the student section, got held, then pushed a student. Great memories, it would be shame to rip it down.
However… it is currently a basketball stadium with no basketball team. I’m sure maintenance on that huge old structure is very expensive. It occupies some prime real estate and could be replaced with something much more useful… Unless it can really be fully utilized it does need to go
Weren’t there whispers of a new indoor track facility being built after the football complex additions? Isn’t that the logical place for it?

also the distance to the mound and fences are shorter iirc.
I don’t know why they couldn’t use Pape field however. It would be easy enough to stick one of those orange fences out there and let ’em go at it.

Because I don’t want to have to be the one to tell you that they stripped Mac Court of it’s majestic ivy because it was causing exterior damage (many years ago).
To make things worse they slapped a coat of the worst beige color on it.
Seriously, it reminds me of a shorn dog, sad and dejected.

ha
should have been there in the early part of the last decade if you wanted to see dilapidation. Before they built the new education building, many of the education professors had offices in 1970s modulars snuck onto a corner of campus but hidden from Alder by a few trees. Fortunately, they’re gone now. Facilities services and campus recycling were stuck in a WWII hangar and set of quonsets across Franklin. I’m sure recycling still is, though I believe that facilities services is now in the old Romania building across from Market of Choice.
And my freshman year, Gilbert Hall before they tore it down to build Lillis was really, really bad.

Harris family needs to give him some advise here… this kid has all the potential in the world…
ssshhh....
They Harris family has given too much already
if they loaned their kid a convertible muscle car while he has no license, no insurance and was just publicly pulled over for going 118mph (with weed) in a god damned NISSAN!
Am I wrong or isn’t it the vehicle that’s insured? So not having insurance would be the fault of the vehicle, owner not Cliff?
Not that it matters in the end, just wondering.
The car may be insured,
but the insurance won’t cover anything that happens when a non-licensed driver is operating it. It’s routine for cops to write a ticket for no insurance if they stop a suspended driver.

Breaking News
Cliff Harris has been kicked off the team due to traffic violations. According to my source deep within the athletic dept at Oregon who is close to the situation the Traffic stop story is a cover for a larger problem involving the troubled football player. It seems that a hit was issued on Harris and his family by a local gang. In an effort to protect the troubled youth police staged a traffic stop to wisk the athlete away from the Eugene/Springfield area to find a safer place for him until police can defuse the situation. It is uncertain if Cliff will stay enrolled at the U of O or transfer to a safer, more upstanding university like USC. Get all the latest here as this story develops.

Maybe add teams like Xavier, Temple, St. Louis, Charlotte, St. Joseph’s, and be a basketball conference. The rift between the hoops and FB schools is what bloated and killed that conference in the first place.

It's really crazy ND doesn't join the Big East

Sure, they would be able to win most likely
but ND likes to play all the classic schools. ND vs Louisville and USF just doesn’t have the cache of ND vs USC, Army, Michigan etc.
Btw, has Oregon ever played ND? Lazy google search didn’t turn anything up.
That's why it makes sense
If the Big East stayed at 6 schools with ND, they only have 5 conference opponents and can schedule all the Michigans, USC, Stanfurd and everyone else to fill out their season. And the Big East is thinking about adding all the armed forces teams but even with expansion, ND can still play OOC to their rivals.
Not that Notre Dame would ever leave its independency, they’re so damn stubborn, but the Big East is a good fit for them.

If I don’t think he should be kicked off the team, does that automatically make me an apologist? Even though I think he was wrong, broke laws and team rules and should be held accountable for his actions?
I don’t know if Tannen is advocating kicking Cliff off the team or not – I don’t follow him. But besides Chip and the University I don’t get why others think they can set policy on what the punishment has to be. Just because I have an opinion on the punishment (and I do think he deserves a tough one) doesn’t make me an apologist.

2- Student athletes are young and all young people make mistakes. Cliff didn’t hurt anyone. He deserves maybe a game suspension to remind him not to be a dumb-ass, but it would be ridiculous to throw someone off the team for traffic tickets.

It wouldn't be for "traffic tickets"
It would be for violating terms of probation as outlined by CK following previous events.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Oh sure, that is true. But it is violating probation he got bc of traffic tickets with more traffic tickets
it isn’t nearly as serious as Kiko’s, Blount’s or Masoli’s offenses. It is disrespectful to his coach, selfish, dimwitted, represents his teammates poorly etc.
but like I said, it is still a traffic violation… Hence the conflicted opinions I have.
Bad judgement, inability to learn from one's actions, stupidity
Cliff doesn’t have it all in his head. I think he should be punished, but I can’t find any justification for kicking a person off the football team for traffic violations.

I can find justification for kicking a kid off for repeatedly breaking rules, though.
Although I’m not privy to inside information, recent history suggests that Kelly probably put Cliff on a fairly strict “Behave Or Else” policy after the last incident. He willfully violated that by getting behind the wheel of a car he shouldn’t have been driving. I have no idea what Kelly will do, but I can see the justification for some pretty severe penalties if such a policy was in place.

And Kelly needs to make sure his charges respect his authority. I have appreciated his policy of punishing relatively harshly and then reducing the punishment based on good behavior. But if you keep punishing and guys keep abusing the rules, you risk losing authority.
I don’t know where Kelly feels Harris is on that scale. I could legitimately see a scenario where Kelly feels Harris has blatantly disregarded his requests and just cuts bait. I think that would be extreme, but I don’t think it’s out of the question. I could also see Kelly giving Harris only a game or two off to think about not doing stupid things.

With all the talk over what punishment Cliff should get, the more important question is what will Chip actually hand out has been overlooked a bit.
I’m thinking more than 1 game, less than kicked off. Thoughts?
I'm thinking he'll be offered a spot on the scout team for the rest of the season.
If he seriously wants to get his act together, he would still have the opportunity to come back next year and be awesome. If he choses not to, give his scholarship to someone who will make the most of the opportunity.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller

How many of us thought Blount was going to hang around after he was suspended?
Be honest. I didn’t.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
When LeGarrett Blount was suspended I was sure he'd leave school.
This was based in part on the rumors of his general discipline problems. I thought it was a waste of a scholarship to keep him on. Obviously I was very wrong, and the Coach was right. Cliff could still turn it around.
"You could almost imagine Ducks coach Chip Kelly walking to midfield among the bloodied Bruins and shouting in his best gladiator voice, 'Are you not entertained?'" - Ted Miller
Blount also was projected as a very late rounder or FA following that incident. Hhe needed a place to play football, stay in shape, just get a stipend to live on etc.
Cliff is still a 3-4 rounder according to some, so he could sign with an agent, get a 10% advance on his NFL 1st yr salary and go work out at some elite camp. He doesn’t need UO as much as LGB did.
Assuming an NFL team wants to take a chance using an upper round pick on a head case.

I could see the Patriots taking a 3rd round flier on him
the combination of the iron-fist of the coaches there, and reuniting with Chung as a mentor and leader in the secondary might help.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
reuniting with Chung? i don’t think there was any time where Chung and Harris were on the team together was there?
And the Patriots are the LAST team to take guys above their supposed value in the draft. They would much rather turn that 3rd round pick into a 4th and 6th round pick the following year, so they could turn those into a whole bevy of 5th, 6th, and 7th rounders in the years following………………

Cliff was an all american last year, was projected as a top 15 pick. The drop to 3-4 round is significant.

Is Cliff even a viable NFL Corner?
Is he thinking he can just bide his time until he starts cashing an NFL paycheck?
Cliff’s good, but I can’t help but look at his size compared to NFL receivers. Watching Anquan Boldin in that stinkfest of a MNF game last night, I could help but wonder how many times he could bench press Cliff.
My parents believed in me.
Boldin benched 225 pounds 12 times at the 2003 NFL combine. Cliff weighs 165 lbs.
(225/165) x 12=16.36 times.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Then there's this:
One NFL scout who was asked how big a hit the 5-foot-11, 165-pound Harris’ stock has taken responded, “I’m not sure he has stock. What has he done? Hard to draft a non-starter who is really small and can’t tackle.”
My parents believed in me.
Wow, am I glad Boldin's on my team.
Assuming your math/physiology assumption is correct, and why wouldn’t it be, Boldin could bench 800 pounds more than three times.
(225/800) x 12 = 3.375
Not bad considering nobody benched 800 lbs until 1999.

You didn’t see Boldin win Olympic gold with his 2,400lb benchpress?
I don't mean to impose...
I saw him muscle 2700lb up there once. Man, that was magnificent.
The saddest part: He could only bench 25 pounds 108 times before collapsing into utter physical exhaustion.

Sure they can
And so can we. We have scored more points on LSU than any other team in the country including the SEC teams they have played. We shot ourselves in the foot and actually had a decent chance of winning that game.
Stanford plays physical and actually has a really interesting playbook. I think they would be able to compete just fine.

While I think that is correct
It is also false in that Oregon has some of the most vast and clean sandy beaches around.
I think it’s called the Coast because the water is freezing and it’s usually windy and rainy.
My parents believed in me.
Yep. I'm sure there are more "beach"-like areas in parts of Oregon than in the Bay Area, for example.

I dont know if i could surf on the Oregon coast
One if my dads friends had his board bitten by a 16ftlarge Great White off the coast of Newport when I was a kid. I wouldn’t be able to get that out if my head, even though I know full well its in all likelihood not gonna happen.

Guy was floating in calm water when a great white launched him airborne and took a huge chunk out of his board. He survived with nary a scratch.

It's not just northern places that have great whites anymore
Back home (north of San Diego) a swimmer was killed a hundred yards offshore near a great/popular surf spot. The Great White Shark population has exploded recently, damn seals.

I remember reading that there were a lot more popping up around LA
I even heard some were jumping out of the water, like they do on “Planet Earth”
Apparently scientists are learning that
Malibu, Santa Monica, etc… are a sort of birthing place for the sharks. There are tons of them there, but from my very limited understanding, they tend to be very young and are just learning how to hunt fish, tourists, etc…
I guess I’m not surprised to hear that there are massive jumping sharks a la South Africa.

I came up to Portland over the weekend from SF for a wedding,
and it was really, really nice to be back. It’s a great place – big enough to feel cityish if you want, but generally open, chill, leisurely, green.
I spent my one year actually living in Portland in the inner SE, which was great – nice sized livable neighborhoods, within easy walking distance to the waterfront, bridges and downtown.
And green. Very, very green.

Inner SE and NE Portland are the ideal places to live IMO
Not too pricey when compared to other cities, room to have your own place, dense enough to walk and bike most places, full of parks and trees etc etc
I’ve been to many other cities that are just packed.
If you overlook Portland, it’s practically a city built in a forest. It’s not tons and tons of skyscraper apartments or the projects, or like the suburban areas of Los Angeles, who’s entire existence is to pack single family houses as tightly together as possible.
There are some small areas with aggressive homeless people, but they are generally only aggressive in the winter.

Hey now.
I’ll have you know that one of Corvallis’s most revered institutions is The Peacock, where pints of Pabst Blue Ribbon are $1. 24/7/365. And from before PBR became the ubiquitous hipster youth beer.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
Applying axemath:
$1.24/7/365 = 0.000485323
Yes, this is the approximate value of PBR.

"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Its not really anybody's fault
I was taking kids that had never played organized ball before, and we were going up against good teams. Nobody in our league had a JV2 team, so we played a lot of Jesuit, Central Catholic, Beaverton schools, etc., with a lot of kids who had been playing since they were little. Heck, our JV played Jesuits JV2 one year and just barely won.
But, you know what, those kids worked and played their asses off for me, improved dramatically, and nobody wanted to play us at the end of the year.
We never won tons of games, but I had a great five years coaching those kids. I was offered a spot on the new WHS staff this season, but declined because I need to stay home and spend time with my own children now. But I was fortunate to get to coach for five seasons.

that was definitely the hard part
I’m a really competitive person, and I had to learn to tone that down because it would just set me up to make myself (and the kids) miserable.
Once I learned to get joy out of watching them improve and come together as a team, I had a blast and so did the kids.

Exactly.
It was my first year as the JV coach, and up to that point, I’d coached talented and successful teams so I thought I could coach anyone and win no matter what (HA!). I wish I had come to that conclusion sooner. In some ways, this season was far more rewarding than any before because I saw kids improve dramatically and enjoy the game for the right reasons.

Well, you'll knock me for this
but last year I had my 6th graders running a 1-3-1 trapping zone along with the standard man-defense.
It was a bear for them to learn, but once they did, there wasn’t a run we couldn’t put the clamps on, which helped us win a few close games simply because we had extra timeouts near the end.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
I love the 1-3-1 trap
and it’s fun to pull it out quickly, cause a few quick turnovers, then take it off as soon as they are ready for it!

Man to man is the most efficient and effective when run correctly. IMO. I personally love to have all sorts of defenses (man, zone, trap, full court press, half court press, etc.) ready so I can put them on and off at will to keep the offense on their toes. If a team doesn’t have a good point guard, they usually have trouble adapting quickly enough.

I'd rather have a bread and butter that I run really well
man to man, with both a soft and a trapping full court press. I just feel like perfecting one thing is the most efficient use of practice time, though I understand the strategic advantages of having multiple options.
We also ran a pack line for a few years, ala the Washington State teams under Tony Bennett, but didn’t like the lack of pressure in the passing lanes.

That's the downside.
I learned very quickly that if I did drive, I had to A) have a clear lane to the basket or B) be looking for someone to dish to. Sometimes it failed, but for the most part, the post players swarmed toward me like hungry sharks looking for an easy block, so it left my teammates open.

Employment.....bad
Not Michigan bad, but worse than advertised. A lot of people in the Portland Metro area looking for jobs (read: 300 applicants for each position).
Rural areas a lot worse.
Of course, that depends on what kind of work you do.
My parents believed in me.
"Michigan bad"
FWIW, I’ve never had a problem getting a job. I know that not all people here can claim that, but there are a lot of opportunities.
That's great
My wife who is a well qualified professional in the non-profit sector has been looking for two years. They just hired an office manager and got over 300 apps for that job. Many were way over qualified.
My parents believed in me.
I appreciate all of the input and welcomes

Yeah, supposed to be super painful
like 12 Iowa players got it from summer workouts too. Really messed some of them up.
Seems like they caught it early with Tuel which should be good. Hope he gets better soon.
Upon further research
Acute compartment syndrome looks a lot better than Abdominal Compartment Syndrome.
Wow, seriously.
All I can say after a quick google search is that I have never seen that many intestines before.

In 2021 Oregon Football
“The elder Harris said the family has paperwork showing that the suspension was to be lifted in Oregon after a 60-day period, which has passed. Harris’ father also said the family can produce proof of insurance for the car Harris was driving Monday.
The family is seeking legal advice in hopes of addressing the charges of driving with a suspended license and driving uninsured.
"We’ll see how it plays out from there," Harris’ father said.
In the meantime, Harris is serving an indefinite suspension. Kelly declined to comment on any other specifics, saying he was still gathering all the facts of the case."

More importantly: this could mean that Cliff wasn’t being the idiot we all thought he was. Maybe he’s guilty of driving without a seat belt on (which is a poor law in itself, IMO). Who know. Either way, I hope Cliff is not done here at U of O and that he can continue to stay on course and be successful.
