Quack Fix: The defensive line faces a big test against Stanford

PrintAnybody know which stage the Stanford game is taking?
- Rob Moseley writes about the improving defensive line which had a breakout game against washington. The iine will face a bigger challenge this weekend with a Stanford offensive line that boasts two of the top OL NFL prospects in the country.
- In his weekly column, Bob Clark discusses the NCAA proposal to pay some athletes an additional $2,000 per year. Oregon also continues to hold at #2 in the north in his power rankings.
- Moseley also has a long article on Tony Dungy becoming a part of the Eugene community. It's lengthy, but a good read.
- As many of you noted yesterday, Miller had a long post on "poor ole Oregon" in which he picked Oregon to beat Stanford this weekend. Of course, on Sunday night and earlier Monday, he still had Stanford #1 in his power rankings and was predicting them to play in the BCS title game.
- In women's basketball news, it looks like perennial power UConn will play a home-and-home series with the Ducks starting next year in Eugene. Also, Oregon freshman Janitah Iamaleava suffered a knee injury last week and will be out for the season.
Go Ducks!

here is video of new basketball commit Ben Carter

That video is fantastically funny.
I wonder who thought it was a good idea to exclude any sort of non-dunk scoring….is there any to be shown?
I don't mean to impose...
But can he dunk

I wish there was an in between
From Nared trying to rip them rim off of the basket and consequently putting the ball in the third row, to this guy. Just a strong big man that gets mad at the rim and finishes his dunks.
IMO the play of our front seven is the most important single factor in this game.
If we can slow down their rushing attack then we will keep them well below their scoring average.
I don't disagree, but
it’s worth noting that if we’re forcing a team to lean on its passing game, we’re demanding this of a team that’s up to the task. My sense is that our secondary is going to be just about as important, because even if we can make them one-dimensional, it’s still a pretty lethal dimension.
We’re got to turn in a complete defensive effort, from top to bottom. Oh, and the offense too. They’re going to need to score a lot of points, since Stanford can definitely score points. I guess the special teams need to play lights out as well. But that’s probably it. We just need a flawless performance from the entire defense, entire offense, and all special teams. That’s all.
Oh, and coaching. Coaching needs to be superb. Also, fan noise needs to be as loud as possible. The weather needs to be good too, since we’ve had some problems in bad weather before.

Ha!
Yes, the secondary needs to come through but if we can get enough pressure to make Luck move from the pocket then his passing efficiency goes down. Even though he’s a good runner, we win if we make him get happy feet. And our secondary is a lot faster than Furd’s WR’s.
Actually one thing that I am worried about is a) how long the grass will be, particularly if, b) it rains a day or two beforehand. Furd would love to play this game in slop I think.
Furd would love to play this game in slop I think.
after the way they played in the rain in Cornvalley, I don’t think this is true at all
Big difference
Corvallis in the rain was colder than they liked but also the speed on the field was not affected (artificial turf).
A wet field in palo Alto-combined with the fact that the grass is normally longer there-will act to slow down the game which plays into Stanford’s power and no speed game.
Confuscious say...
…wet field, long grass, slows everyone.
Just because they are already slow doesn’t mean they won’t be slowed down even more by poor field conditions.
Unfortunately, it still helps Stanford more than Oregon. Why? The grass has no influence on reaction time. Being able to slow down Oregon can help get an extra step, or help not get caught out of position.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
every time we’ve been told to worry about the grass being longer, it has made no noticeable difference in my eyes
The problem is exponetial though
Yes both teams are slower BUT if Oregon runs at speed 10 and Stanford runs at speed 8 and both teams are 50% slower on long grass then Oregon will be going 5 and Stanford will be going 4, Advantage Stanford.
But you are all the smartest, funniest, most handsome bitches on all the internets.~DaisyDuck 11.2.11
Or, it goes from a 10 to a 9.8 and an 8 to a 7.8, and it really doesn’t matter.

Not only limit the rushing attack but pressure Luck.
Which means our corners will be on an island. They don’t have the best group of receivers, but they have a guy who can get them the ball in any situation. Our ‘backers and DE’s will need to make the right reads in order to keep tabs on their tight ends, who while not especially fast are big, reliable targets. It’s a tall order considering the quality of their offensive line.
I don’t think their D is going to be able to keep us off the scoreboard. The difference between them and LSU is that while TreeD is big an physical, LSU’s D is big, physical, and FAST. And the loss of their defensive signal caller and leader (Skov) remains a huge factor. If our D can get just a few stops and force ’furd to settle for threes rather than sixes on just one or two scoring opportunities, I think the game is ours.

That's fine. The point is they aren't going to beat us with field goals, which are included in that stat.
As long as we A) keep them out of the ‘zone just a couple times and B) force them to accept the FG rather than the TD once or twice, we’ll be fine. There’s nothing to suggest they are any more capable of defending our offense this year than last, and it’s quite possible they are LESS able to do so.

Agreed
Last year Luck was unstoppable until we were able to get pressure on him late in the 2nd. Once that happened he was uncomfortable and couldn’t hit anyone. Plus our defense turned into beast.

One of the biggest keys if not THE biggest key to Stanford's offense
Is their ability to Play Action pass. If Oregon shuts down the run, the DBs won’t bite on the play action which will make it exponentially more difficult for the receivers/tight ends to get separation. I don’t care how good Luck is, his receivers are not top flight talent.

If our front 4 can control the line, that will give the LBs a lot more freedom to play their game, rather than having to be reactionary. That hurt us last year, especially on the 4th and short touchdown throw, where Clay was caught looking into the backfield.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
2011 Clay >> 2010 Clay
The LB play has been a surprise to me and they’ve improved all season. I wouldn’t have given us a puncher’s chance earlier in the season against furd with all the turnover at LB, considering their strength in run blocking and at TE, but the way these guys are playing I’m confident the middle won’t be the Achilles heel in this game.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Yeah, Clay has leveraged stellar play and tutelage as a backup last year into even better play as a starter.
And DeWitt has been a revelation. Having BoLo and Kiko there to rotate in is quite a luxury.

That's a big if, especially considering
that it will take more than our front 4 to defend their 3 TE sets, or 6 lineman set. It’s the play action pass out of those jumbo sets that worries me most.
My parents believed in me.
This is where their TE injuries really hurt
How limited will these packages if they are 2 TEs down, not to mention Owusu as a downfield threat?
I think they are only 1 TE down
the guy hurt last week at OSU is probable.
My parents believed in me.

Just saw the tweet about MIller using the VORP system comparing Oregona and Stanford.
Have never seen this used before
Here’s the article Miller’s referring to (which he quotes here). Not actually VORP, but Brian Fremeau (of FEI fame) comes up with something called value drives. I don’t trust it though, FEI is kinda whacked out this year. Miami has the top rated offense, and Stanford has the 5th rated defense.
S&P+ has it’s problems though.It has Toledo as the best team in the country.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Also the argument that the article uses is faulty.
The biggest omission to me is that the article cited does not note the value-drive scores of Oregon and Stanford for last season. It notes this season, where Stanford’s value-drive score is a bit higher than Oregon, and notes the Oregon-Furd game last year where, duh, Oregon had a higher value-drive score (hey-Oregon won the game!) but that’s it. In other words the article compares apples to pears.
Which is yet another reason I tend to take these analyses with a grain of salt.

Let's start a totally irresponsible rumor
So we’ve been talking about Belotti might be the right coach for the right kind of job.
Given that Paterno is gone, what about Penn St? A man of high character, a winner, absolutely no ties to the program.
Seems like potentially a good fit, though that’s going to be a tough place for a new coach to go into next year.
Interesting thought
I don’t think they could pay him enough to walk into that shitstorm, though.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Yeah, they could.
Rather than immense pressure to win, such as at tOSU, the goal would simply be to re-establish respectability. 5 years and a golden parachute for Mike to simply be Mike? Not a bad gig.

I could see that happening
It would be a great way for Penn State to clean house and bring in someone young and fresh. Belotti has high character, a winning resume and would come highly recommended. The alum and community would embrace him and he’d be walking into a program that has a lot of the right tools in place for his kind of system and ready to get back to winning.
I’d love to see Belotti go there because he doesn’t have any ties to the current situation, and the shit storm would largly pass him by untouched. He’d have to answer some questions occasionally but if they simply cleaned house, new AD, new VP, new HC and staff there’d be very little to question. I could also root for him and Penn State all the time because he wouldn’t be going to fUCLA or another Pac-12 school that I’d have to root against at least once a year.

You know in perspective...
Everything that went down (and continues to go down) with Willie Llyes doesn’t hold a candle to what is happening in State College right now. Seems like every month though there’s been a scandal which is increasingly worse than the other.
I agree with that.
What terrifying about this scandal is both the crimes committed and what appears to be a “program/football first” mentality taken to its absolute and darkest extreme. While I hope and believe that many coaches, ADs and other university officials have the perspective and moral foundation to know when they should act even when it is greatly detrimental to a program, this incident should force everyone to put into perspective the role and importance of football which apparently was completely lost at Penn State.
I don't think the cover-up was about protecting the football team so much as the school for an all encompassing perspective.
Nor was it about protecting Sudesky. He wasn’t an employee of the football program at that time.
Universities/Colleges struggle with sexual assault cases. I know that at my school there were multiple sexual assaults (involving students with other students — nothing like this) that were never talked about by the school. Universities do not want to appear as unsafe places, so they focus campus saftey programs on the theoretical.
When the administrators looked at the Sudesky actions, I doubt there thinking was “what will this say about our football program, so much as how will people percieve our school?”

Thanks for Quack
Strangely enough this week I am experiencing half the amount of panic than last week.
I think it is part because a loss to Standford (and the best QB in the country) is a lot less humiliating than loosing to the Hucking Fuskies.
But I am also really impressed with our D. If they play as good or better against Stanford we will have a really good shot. I mean, Luck is great and all, but if his TE and WR are covered well their game will become very one dimensional… and this time they don’t have a damn freight train like they did in 2009….
ssshhh....
I'm more calm due mostly to the workmanlike attitude displayed by the team.
Huge road game, huge, fired up crowd, even a miscue or two in the first half, yet the team simply went about their business. No fuss, no muss, just get the job done and go home.

They always seem in control.
It’s a great manifestation of Chips attitude. I love how he’s always calm on the sidelines and he always seems to stress positive reinforcement. Not to mention, his confidence has to have a huge impact on the players mentality. It will be a cold day in Eugene if Chip looses his cool towards a player.

Should Pen state get sanctions from the NCAA?
Does this fall underneath the NCAA’s football regulations? I would like to think so, but I could also see how someone could make an argument about how it is not directly football related.

No, the NCAA should and will stay out of this.

Of course if Fishduck’s new video report had been included in the daily links then the mysterious clicked-box-that-still-doesn’t-open-in-a-new-window-when-it-clearly-states-that-it-will wouldn’t have occurred to begin with.
The Quack Fix came out before the video.
In my opinion, which is worth virtually nothing, that does come off a bit rude. The authors who find the links aren’t required to post anything.
I think people need to stop bitching about not checking the box. That’s annoying and people should be grateful you’re sharing the link on the comments…
But complaining about the video (or another great fishduck article) not being in the daily links isn’t better. AtQ has been pretty good with sharing your website’s content. We love the work you guys do. There’s rarely a single day when someone doesn’t reference the website in a conversation.

Why, cause he did that so successfully last year?
I’m glad he’s not playing because he should not play football again.
I think his impact on the game would have been minimal. He’s simply not that great.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
In 09 he had a huge kickoff return,
he scored a touchdown receiving, and had one or two more big plays down-field. Last year his production wasn’t nearly as good, but he only played a little more than a half of football.

He caught long passes because he was going on-one-one all day as Oregon was more concerned with Gerhart. Also, we were playing Javes Lewis at corner that day, our best CB didn’t have an ACL, and it was Boyett’s worst game as a Duck. I think it’s pretty much impossible to take anything from that game defensively.
Owusu is simply not a very good WR. I don’t think it particularly matters that he’s not playing.

It does matter to the extent that they don't have
any one that can stretch the field and require that our safeties play over he top against. Whalen is as slow a WR as they come and it will require that Stanford use their big packages more often to move the ball. Boyett and Pleasant should be able to play 10-15 yards off the line of scrimmage and still not let anything get behind them.

From Brad Edwards (Insider Only, sorry), the BCS “guru” at ESPN.
He’s discussing the potential scenarios for teams to make it intothe NCG vs. LSU. Here’s his take on Oregon.
That leaves Oregon, but the truth is that the Ducks were really hurt by LSU’s win on Saturday night. If voters are choosing between Alabama and Oregon for the No. 2 spot in the polls, they’ll be voting for a rematch with LSU in either case. The Tigers beat the Ducks by 13 in the season opener, and the Crimson Tide by 3 in overtime, so it’s hard to see how Oregon would get the nod under this scenario. Think about it: Which game would you rather see again?
Okay, I fully understand the concept – Alabama played them to OT, we were barely within two scores. Alabama probably “deserves” to go over us.
But trying to be as objective as possible and answer that last question…there’s no way I would want to watch that Alabama-LSU game again. Yes, the defenses were fantastic, but 9 – 6? No thanks. If I’m a random college football fan, I want to see some actual offense. I’d rather see some touchdowns, even if that involves a somewhat less competitive game,
Defending maligned chants since 2009
And people ignore the fact that Alabama was at HOME. We were “neutral” – essentially a road game. If we win out, our resume is a hell of a lot better than Alabama’s. Wins over Stanford, Washington and USC and a Pac-12 CG victory. Alabama beat a pathetic Penn State team and an overrated Arkansas and they won’t be playing in a championship game.
It’s hard to believe that Penn St. is 8 – 1. Although chances are decent that they’ll drop each of their next three games.

It's not a rule.
OU in 2003 also made it despite not winning the conference and nothing changed.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
Neh.
Fact is, we did give LSU a short field several times and did put up 27 points. So…Alabama has a better D than we do, we have a better O than they do. LSU, until proven otherwise, is better than both of us.

Agreed, and another fact is

I completely agree that LSU is the better team than us. If we played them again, I think we’d probably lose again, although I like our chances to make it a closer game.

Unfortunately, $10.26+ tax&CRV is standard for 6packs at Bevmo. Works out to $11.29 (OUCH!). For a 6-pack. It's good beer, but dayum!
The 22oz are $5.99+tax&CRV. I had two 12 oz DGA left over from the sixer you recommended (it was much better in a frosty glass; thanks for reminding me of that) and a 22oz of each listed above. I have a 22 of Oatmeal Stout left. I didn’t want to wuss out, but I also wanted to safely drive home safely.
I called the local distributor to and got a few other locations nearby. No idea on the pricing Rogue also has a “public ale house” in SF (Northbeach), which (according to the menu) allows one to fill up growlers and/or pretty much any other container you bring in. Gotta check that out.
They were all very different and I liked them a lot. I expected the Chipotle Ale to be spicy (which I love), but it wasn’t at all. It was nice and smoky. I wasn’t disappointed, just expected something else. It’s a much more mellow version of the Sam Adams Bonfire/Campfire Ale in the fall seasonal pack.

My attention is limited to watching Ducks play in the NFL, so i don’t really pay any attention to measurables.

Watching MNF last night and seeing Matt Toeaina starting for the Bears. I swear I barely remember him at Oregon.
Heck, AJ Feeley is still in the league and actually playing, while Joey is completely out, Akili Smith lasted only a few years, and I have no clue what Kellen Clemens is doing.

The successes of Clemens and Feely are a mystery to me
I’m glad they were successful. Perhaps they received the necessary practice and reps as a back up behind a quality starter and/or excellent coaching. A virgin on prom night is safer than a highly rated rookie behind a crappy Oline (aka Cincy and Detroit).

Too small?!
Dion Jordan is like 6’7". You mean bulk/muscle-wise, right? He has the size, but he is tall and thin (relatively speaking). Still if he could bulk up and get Nick Reed’s motor, the guy would be unstoppable.
He’s plenty tall enough. But he looks like he’s barely over 200.

There are a number of them
and Jordan is at 240 right now (I know you’re being sarcastic about the 200 thing). But adding 15-20 pounds is not out of the question for Jordan, and he doesn’t really need to keep the speed he has right now when he’s not playing 80 snaps a game. Comparing him to Julius Peppers is ridiculous. But Jordan could make an NFL roster if he added some weight in the next couple of off seasons.

I have REALLY been impressed by both his quickness and speed. And stamina.
Taylor Hart, too, tho’ Taylor is not as fast or quick, he can sure get out of the blocks and chase a guy to the sidelines.
"What you are entrusted to do as a coach is to create an environment where your players have a chance to be successful." CHIP KELLY
Are there a number of them?
Brandon Bair is currently listed at 6’-7" and 270, which is what I would expect for a 6’-7" DE in the NFL. Most of DE I see are around 6’-3" and 260. Dion Jordan is 4" taller, and 20 lbs lighter than that. That’s a significant bulk discrepancy. (I didn’t see a single 250 6’-7" DE btw)
Right now, I don’t see him making an NFL roster. If he continues to improve at the rate he has, and adds 25+ lbs by the time he’s done here, I can see him being a 4-5th round pick.
I don’t expect that though. If he adds 10-20 lbs, and doesn’t show more than just speed, he’ll be undrafted, which I think is more realistic.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
There are plenty listed at 6-5, 6-6, & 6-7. I think depending on the system he could make a roster right now, he’d be a great fit in the wide 9 with his speed.
Plenty are listed at 6-5, 6-6 & 6-7. I won’t dispute that. But all that I’ve seen also weigh 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 lbs more.
That’s a huge difference.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
I was talking about ones that weigh between 250-270, he still needs to add weight but he doesn’t need to get to 290
He doesn't need to get 290. His body isn't even made for that.
20-30 lbs will probably be sufficient.
This whole conversation reminds me of a similar one I had last year regarding Maehl. We love our ducks, but there are over 200 other schools that put out NFL talent.
You generally have to be top 8 in your position and NFL ready to even get drafted, and then you have to be better than players that have shown to be NFL ready to even make the roster.
Simply put, it is tough as HELL to even be a 3rd string backup in the NFL. If you aren’t prototypical for your position, or have at least a thrice-in-a-decade athletic talent, you’ll probably end up on the scout team – if at all.
I’m not even convinced Jordan is the best or NFL ready defensive linemen we have.

Projecting Jordan to the NFL
He’s got two positions he could play, or really one: 3-4 drop end in the mold of say Terrell Suggs or a 4-3 traditional DE. Note that this is different than Brandon Bair who’s a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT.
And as more and more NFL defenses are going 3-4, that’s a valid argument.
He’s still vastly undersized, in terms of body mass, compared to a player like Terrell Suggs (4 inches taller, 20 lbs lighter).
Drop ends in the NFL are about the same size as DE in a 4-3.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
Drop ends in the NFL are about the same size as DE in a 4-3.
Not really. Rarely do you see a drop-end in the NFL that is 6’7". Usually they are more stocky LBs. I think that if Jordan wants to make an NFL roster, his best chance is to add 15-20 lbs and work on being the speed rush guy in a 4-3.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
I don't take a lot of stock in listed weights much anymore (Tajuan Porter is 5'10"... right)
But for a college Juinor to add 15-20 pounds in the next 2+ years isn’t that far a stretch. I don’t know that he’ll make a roster, but he’s got the frame to add the weight and still not lose a lot of speed. On top of that his best attribute is his speed rush off the end (a very NFL-like characteristic) whereas he’s being asked to play a drop end cover the flat position now.
If he adds a little weight and continues to improve, a NFL team could take a flyer on him in the late rounds.

Right I see your point
He is no Julius Peppers, but he still has potential. Why did he switch over to defense anyway? Didn’t we recruit him as a tight end? With Lyerla still raw and David Paulson carrying the load, and Curtis White on a perma-injury reserve, we could certainly use another tight end. Granted our defense probably needs him more, but still…
Bair bulked up by his senior year.
And Dion is more physically gifted. I’d say he has a shot, certainly nothing guaranteed.

I think it's the cover up, more than just the link to sports.
The cover up is what makes the story about the school, and not just some rapist who happened to work there.
If McQueary had done the right thing initially, the school could have quickly fired Sandusky and expressed their outrage and disgust at his actions. The story would have focused on Sandusky, and not so much the school.

We, as sports fans, we as university students and alumni, we as student athletes past and present, have been getting diddled by these BCS bullies and predators for years, all the while having to listen to ‘explanations’ that are not even rhetoric. What they have said are the same type of things which prevented investigations of impropriety at Penn State, protection of the ‘institution’ rather than protection of the student athletes who have worked hard enough to deserve a fair chance to be called champions.
We’ve ALL been getting diddled by these despicable ‘men of power.’ It’s time to wake up and realize that our own ox has been gored. Those little boys are us.

Hmm, haven't agreed with axemen23 previously in this story
but I think he has a point. It isn’t just media hype that focuses on the teacher pederast rather than the IT consultant pederast. Predators are focused on their prey and will congregate where they can get what they want. They need easy opportunity and control and will intentionally seek out environments where they can find this.
IT consultants and mechanics don’t have a lot of opportunity to be around kids they can abuse, coaches, teachers, clergy etc do. Predators will self-select into these professions.

His point is wrong.
Those who take this line of reasoning are assuming that all criminals (in this case, child molesters) not only have identical motives, but execute their crimes in the same manner. This is simply not true. The ability to interact with children is not what makes someone a child molester. A child molester will find opportunities to interact with children.

I don't see what is remotely controversial about saying that
those that like a certain thing are attracted to places and professions thy can get that thing. Guys that like to smoke weed often work in head shops. Guys that like adrenaline are often fighter pilots and the like. Guys that like helping people are often nurses and social workers. Guys that like molesting kids often work in areas they have access to kids and trust they can abuse.
We're talking about men in high-visibility occupations.
And any person of power can put himself in a position where he’s close to children. Charities. Coaching Little League. Children’s hospitals, outreach programs, on and on and on. The anonymous pedophile, the nobody, will place himself in occupations as described like scout leader, volunteer soccer coach, etc. But Sandusky was a college coach. He created a freaking CHARITY to be around kids. That’s what I’m saying. It could be any person with means and who is considered a trusted member of the community.

It's not about controversy. You are making incorrect jumps in logic.
People don’t even need to work in “powerful” vocations.
According to the The Abel and Harlow Child Molestation Prevention Study (2001):
“Children are most at risk from the adults in their own family, and from the adults who are in their parents’ social circle. In fact, 90 percent of abusers target children in their own families and children who they know well. Furthermore, research suggests that the risk is across the board: Child molesters come from every part of our society, and so children from every part of our society are at risk.”

"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Gotta stop this
There are many misconceptions on this topic that lead to unnecessary demonization of teachers, priests, LBTGQQI, etc. Self-selection of professions is one of them. Sexual orientation of molesters (here’s a hint-the vast majority of child molesters identify themselves as heterosexual) is another.
I’m sorry, but I cannot devote additional time and energy to this subject. It’s nothing against you; it’s an upsetting topic. As a volunteer, I deal with this on a weekly basis. Part of my coping mechanism is to compartmentalize/avoid it when not on a shift. Additional engagement in this topic will further compromise my boundaries.

The university’s online directory listed Sandusky, whom Penn State officials said was banned from campus over the weekend — as an assistant professor emeritus of physical education in the Lasch building. Sandusky was Paterno’s longtime defensive coordinator and one-time heir apparent.
The grand jury investigating Sandusky found that he was given the office, a parking pass and other amenities as part of his 1999 retirement package.

So Penis State has a home game this weekend.
How do you think the crowd will react when JoePa leads his team onto the field?
Will the student section do the right thing and either not show up or (ideally) turn its back on the field for the first quarter?
I’m very keen to see how this plays out, assuming JoePa is stubborn enough to not step aside and the trustees are weak enough to let him.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
I hope JoePa does the right thing this week and resigns
although GOD KNOWS he has never shown an ounce of awareness regarding when it’s time to step aside.
But I don’t think the team should be punished along with JoePa and the administration. It will be hard to find a way to do that – perhaps some creative signage would do the trick.
ATQ's #1 fan of ATQ Guys
I have a feeling that there will be a large ovation for him because fans are dumb homers. I haven’t visited any personally, but I’ve heard that there are plenty of people on Penn St. blogs defending JoePa. Maybe that’s not true, but it wouldn’t surprise me. It does anger me though.
I hope I’m wrong about the ovation.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
There's plenty of support
A lot of them with the mentality of “let’s wait and see what Paterno knew before we crucify him” or “he’s earned the benefit of the doubt.” The cancelling of the presser today though is leaving a lot of fans with a bad taste in their mouths as just another step by the admin to try and protect the football department.
Something needs to be done where Paterno addresses the media or steps down. They can’t let this linger over the program and just go play football like nothing happened.

Excuse me?!? Asper is right
WTF would EVER make Stanford “blue-collar”?? Is it because they play a physical brand of football? Okay, but that doesn’t make one blue-collar. I think blue-collar is more closely associated with being hardworking – and I’d say our team is one of the hardest working teams in all of college football.
Not that I really want our team to be known as blue-collar as it’s too closely associated with the lunchpail crowd up the road. But to call kids attending the most elite school west of the Mississippi ‘blue collar’ is laughable.

Alaskans tend to think they are superhuman, and scoff at storm warnings
But when you see terms like “Epic Magnitude Rarely Experienced,” you might want to think twice about leaving the house. There are hundreds of small villages in that region, these are some of the most remote and impoverished villages in Alaska. Life is already hard there. The weather is already typically very severe. To call a storm coming off the Bering Sea OF EPIC MAGNITUDE or RARELY EXPERIENCED, is very serious indeed.

With a slight shimmy of the head and shoulders, he totally freezes the fuskie defender, runs around him, and the guy never gets close to tracking him down. Totally takes him out of the play with a flick of the head.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
I think it was the kicker that was standing in the hole
At least DAT made him look like a kicker trying to tackle someone.
I was actually really impressed
that that one Uw defender was able to trip him up from behind. Usually DAT’s gone once he breaks free.

I've really been enjoying
Andy Staples’ clever Power Rankings this year. Original idea and they are always good for a laugh. If you haven’t seen them before, check his archives to get all the previous rankings for the season.

His rankings are terrible
but the format is interesting
God I love the Muppets
I know where I come from, and when you always have in mind where you come from the rest will be easy. I think the rest will be easy.

Forgot to post this
last week but I made the trip down to USC for the USC Stanford game on Halloween weekend, and I was sitting in front of a pop warner team from LA, probably 5th graders who were all cheering for USC (obviously). However, when it came up that I was an Oregon fan, and not a Stanford fan, they all started giving me high fives and saying they loved Oregon more than USC and they started spouting off our players names like LMJ, KJB, etc. I also said “De’Anthony is going to be a legend,” to which one of the kids replied “nah, he already a legend.” Safe to say are tentacles have a nice hold in LA.

I think it’s easy for Duck fans to forget just how HUGE De’Anthony is in LA. He is arguably the best high school player to ever come out of LA, and he chose Oregon.
