Quack Fix: Gameday Traffic, Fighting Ducks, Cal Previews and Sanctimonious Enviro-Bears

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish." -- Steve Jobs at Stanford University, 2005 Commencement Address

  • I'm not a huge fan of weekday games, especially living out of the area. Sure, I understand the whole TV contracts reason but lets just say that the selfish part of me says we can do without it. One major reason has to be the traffic issues that invariably result. Remember to give yourselves extra time to get to the game as this will be the first home game since the students are back on campus. Combine that with some bad weather and you've got some combustible elements. Be safe out there. 
  • I like the "Fighting Ducks" uniforms for a number of reasons. They are green and yellow, they showcase the mascot and it has a nice reference to Former Oregon Football Coach Jerry Frei. Lets be real with each other for a bit. People will like the uniforms a lot better if we win. I'm not alone in liking them. In fact, someone even makes the claim that the duck is better than the wings on the shoulders.
  • Even though we've had our own previews, it's always good to look outside the friendly confines of the ATQ Compound to see what others are saying about the game. ESPN has a nice look back at last years game what that may mean for this year's version. For a more "fair and balanced" perspective Fox gives us the viewpoint from the Golden Bears perspective. Also, we provide a little local perspective on the game. I think people are dismissing Cal a bit too much in this game. Before I PANIC too much, I'll throw out a couple of stats. 1) Chip Kelly has never lost at home as head coach and 2) whenever I worry about a game, we always end up winning and boy am I worried about this one. I'm glad this one's at home.
  • Ok, now that I'm good and panic'd, let's review my main concern which is that Cal Bear defense. They lost some NFL-caliber players and inexperience is an issue in places.
  • John Canzano has an interesting piece about where Portland ranks as a "Sports Town". 

Cal Week means one thing. Break out the THREAT DOWN! Remember, keep them drunk because they are godless killing machines. Go Ducks and beat the sanctimonious enviro-bears!

Re: the uniforms

I’ve been outspoken in my staunch opposition, but I think I probably would have been on board if these simply hadn’t been referred to as “retro” or “throwbacks”, since they’re neither of these. When the “throwbacks” comment first leaked, I got my hopes up for something along the lines of what we did two years ago, and when I prepared myself for that, these disappointed.

If these had just been presented as some random new uniforms we were wearing, I’d have likely embraced them — or at least, not publicly decried their existence.

That said, I still like our standard jerseys better.

I do like these better than our standard jerseys, because HEY! GREEN AND YELLOW! ON THE SAME UNIFORM!

That makes me happy. The cartoon Duck on the shoulders doesn’t excite me, but neither do feathers, so, all in all, these win.

I am with you in that the throwbacks from a couple years ago were phenomenal.

Yeah? I mostly disagree with him. Portland is a great NBA city with amazing fans

that know their stuff and sellout the Rose Garden every day even when we are mediocre, haven’t won a playoff series in years or a championship in 34.

However, there are also cities that are wildly passionate about their 3,4,8 pro teams like Boston, Dallas and NY- minus the Mets (and others with many teams that couldn’t care less, like Miami). There is a constant atmosphere of excitement in these towns year round. At least one team will make a playoff run every year and get people talking. Portland might deserve a slightly higher ranking than 40th, but it is far from a great sports town.

The problem I have with the report is that it doesn’t count the Salem and Eugene markets, but other places that are a 1+ hour drive away are lumped in with other markets.

He also made some points that are fair in regards to things that break down like attendance per capita. LA is terrible with that sort. The sports fans in Portland may be a minority of people, but they are pretty nuts.

With that all said, the sports culture set by those that actually make decisions for Portland is pretty shitty.

Well, I think the "sports culture" of Portland is another thing that keeps it down the list

there is a reason that Portland doesn’t have another big 4 team and it isn’t size of the market. Politicians and voters are not willing to pay for a big baseball/football arena. I’m not saying they should, but it does make Portland a worse sports city.

Minor league hockey is unfortunately even less relevant than what the Portland Beavers were.

Personally, I’d love an NHL team in Portland. I would probably look into season tickets. I just don’t think it will happen.

Hockey makes the most sense bc technically they can share the Rose Garden with the Blazers

but teams now won’t agree to do that, they want their own playground and dedicated revenue, and they want taxpayers to pay for a big chunk of it. I think that for this reason even the NHL wont be in Portland anytime soon despite the fans that turn out en mass to watch the 17 year old Winterhawks play

Minor league hockey is unfortunately even less relevant than what the Portland Beavers were.

very untrue … The Winterhawks games are often quite full, especially the last few years (they have been a really good playoff caliber team) … Beavers games were mostly empty

by echo31 on Oct 6, 2011 10:12 AM PDT up reply actions  

Despite the Winterhawks success (Both accolades and attendance), they aren’t very relevant – even locally.

On a national level – the Portland Beavers had more relevance as a top-tier MLB farm team. The Winterhawks are close to short-season single A baseball farm leagues like the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes or Eugene Emeralds.

Many, even Fox Sports can't bother with accuracy. In their defense, math is hard.
Cal has been idle since a 31-23 loss to Washington two weeks ago, the first setback of the season for the Golden Bears. They are 3-1 overall and have scored more than 30 points in all four of their outings.

Most years we buy a 10 game package but didn’t this year because we didn’t want to spend the money at the time. But now when they open sales for them again, it will be less than a 10 game package and maybe we’ll be in again. I’d like about 6 games or so.

Oh man, I really feel bad for you. The DVR has been an essential part of my sports viewing over the past few years. The only thing that ruins it for me is knowing the score, which is a risk, but not a substantial one in most cases.

If not for DVR, I couldn’t watch any East Coast basebally or hockey games. I couldn’t watch Ducks games when I have something to do on a Saturday. It means I can tape games and then watch them after the kids go to bed, so I’m not distracted by them and also so I can relieve my wife of kid duty for the evening.

I too, cannot watch on a DVR.

I root for the players, I yell, I jump, I pump my fist and in the subconsciousness of my sports brain I feel like I can have real influence on the outcome of the game or play. If I root hard enough that energy will funnel itself thousands of miles and give the player I’m cheering for that extra burst. OFC I KNOW IT’S STUPID and it doesn’t really work like that but imagine for a moment that it does… If two fans on opposite sides of the world are cheering for two opposing players, whoever is cheering harder has an advantage :)

If I’m watching a recorded game I have no influence over the outcome, I cannot cheer as hard because it doesn’t help my team. I simply am vastly less interested and entertained, if I can’t watch it live I’ll watch highlights and wish I could have.

For me, it’s all about the drama. I harbor no illusions that I influence the outcome of the game, so I can do my fist pumping and yelling on tape delay. For the most important games, I’ll do everything I can to see them live (bowl games, playoff games, etc.), because it does add a bit to the drama, but mostly because there’s a much greater chance I’ll hear the score somewhere before I get a chance to watch it.

DVR is nice for sitcoms and that sort of thing, but it has made sports watching possible in many cases for me.

His relationship with LGB

did much to help improve his image and the fact that Chip Kelly conferred with Dungy in deciding to reinstate him alleviated much of the criticism that may have arisen otherwise. Always good to have a respected man in your corner. And I would blame the media, not Dungy, for feeling tired of that if you do feel that way.

Unlikely, as much sense as it would make.

The people who run things at ND are afraid they would be “regionalized” if they joined a conference, and their ability to recruit players and (more important) maintain a national support base would be diminished. And there would be issues with the NBC contract which runs through (I think) 2015; NBC has the rights to every ND home game as I recall.

Here is a copy of my reply:

I love the sense of humor which has arisen from CGB the last several years and perhaps this is more. Or, maybe not.
"…the reason I can be so passionate about Cal sports is that as an institution we embrace scholar/athleticism."
I too, am passionate about those two same principles, "scholar/athleticism."
     "But how can that be," you might ask, "you’re from Oregon." The reason that that can be is simple and you addressed it in your semi-polite critique of our state and our university(s); we don’t necessarily measure scholarly brilliance in the same way in which you do.
      Let me explain; My uncle used to query upon occasion, "If you’re so smart, why aren’t YOU rich?"
I ask you and YOUR university that, Calbear91 (I got my MS in ‘91, guess where?)
     Our donors did not just come to us and start forking over money; we went to them and made proposals. Our proposals were well thought out with intelligence, compassion and understanding, you know, scholarly kinds of strategical approaches.
     I come to you similarly, without arrogance but with suggestion and understanding. You apparently don’t want the Ivy League and you do like the PAC12 football. Build on those two structures. We are. One has grown faster than the other; my garden works the same way and I can’t predict which tomato plant will offer the first fruit.
     Criticism both inhibits growth and fosters disease or Hawthorne’s ‘The Scarlet Letter’ was a waste of time. Not. If your university needs money, figure out how to get help and don’t waste your time and energy criticizing us, OK.
     Good fortune Thursday night (note: I didn’t say ‘Luck’)

I grew up in Corvallis, which for some reason or other didn’t have one. Albany did, maybe more than one in fact. But not us. I’ve enjoyed Burgerville living in Portland, but it’s hard to truly venerate it without that grew-up-on-it nostalgia.

Ok for real.

LMJ in that highlight reel looks skinny as hell. So that got me to thinking, he’s still relatively small for a RB but he has really built muscle and strength and power. So I pulled an image of him from 2009’s Cal game, compared it to the LSU game this year. The kid has seriously developed. It’s obvious how much time and effort he has put in to improving himself.

That said, the skinny frail kid on our team this year that’s making plays? DAT. What an awesome rolemodle LMJ is for that kid.

If Duke ever built a Cameron Outdoor Stadium, it would be Autzen.

Just tweeted, alluding that the above picture may not be entirely accurate. Not sure what that means.

There have been rumors going around that they made some "last minute adjustments" to the uniforms

Whatever that means.

Well for starters, #57 Trevor Fox is white.

And as an offensive lineman, he won’t be carrying the ball.

And, Autzen Stadium’s lighting is much better than in this picture.

Now that I look at it closely, this picture is completely inaccurate.

Fox can report in as eligible, and super-tan,

and maybe this is a test of the emergency lighting in case of, you know, a power failure

A power failure? How preposterous!

The power never goes out during Cal games at Autzen.

Also, is he trying to gather Chip’s ire?

Not sold on the Duck head

…But the full uniform looks much better than I expected. Hopefully, this is not a foreshadowing of the next generation of regular unis. I do like the Oregon skull and crossbones duck head though. Wouldn’t mind seeing that on a uniform. Not necessarily on the shoulder pads though. Perhaps on the sleeve, or maybe the helmet. Though I like the O on the helmets the best.

Does anyone else like "Mighty Ducks" better than "Fighting Ducks?'

I like it because it flows better, and because the fight song is entitled “Mighty Oregon”

Thoughts?

Actually, "Mighty Oregon" would be even better.

That’s a grossly underutilized phrase.

The Mighty Ducks are my hockey team (well, used to be, anyway, now they’re just the Ducks too). But yeah, that would just invoke thoughts of the Disney movies.

I love that I root for two different Ducks. It’s a joy.

Also, OPENING DAY OF HOCKEY SEASON! YES! This is truly a glorious sports day.

It’s been a long time since I listened to a radio pregame show. I didn’t realize that putz Steve Tannen is the host.

But Kellen Clemons is in the NFL.
