If you didn't call in to ATQ's Tuesday Night talks, don't worry, you can download it here. On to the quack!
- The story of Oregon and Stanford always seems to be speed vs. physicality. Well, guess what? LaMichael James is tired of it, and he takes it personally. He says the Ducks are not a finesse team, but just have fast players. But Oregon has the same size that Stanford does at the point of attack. The Ducks just spread you out a bit.
- Lindsay Schnell has an article on Eddie Pleasant, and his improvements this season in the passing game. Pleasant has grown more comfortable after making the switch from linebacker last season, and the results are apparent.
- Moseley has a notebook this morning. He starts off by talking about Luck and James, but moves on to some other topics. First, he notes the Ducks are not concerned about Stanford's playing surface. Also, Anthony Gildon and Justin Hoffman are practicing in pads this week after missing the game against washington.
- ATQ commenter Probably Monty gets Ted Miller to answer a question in his latest video mailbag. Ted explains why he picked washington to beat Oregon, and has now picked Oregon to beat Stanford. Miller also has an article on Oregon's offense, how despite the storyline, it's not far off last year's pace.
- Oregon basketball has a huge opening game Friday night at Vanderbilt, and GoDucks.com has all the info you need to know.
- The whelps sure have taken the last beating poorly. After cries of arrogance, Aaron Fentress had to remind people that the Pac-12 was in charge of ticket sales, and ASU and Stanford are also selling tickets.
- Bill Connelly has an stat-geek box score for the Uw-Oregon game. Really hammers home just how good Oregon's defense was in the game.
- Lastly, why not talk a little bit about Will Lyles. The Ducks released another round of documents regarding the Lyles investigation (mostly heavily redacted), and, well, it doesn't seem like there's much actual information in there.
After the jump, we have video of both Chip Kelly's and LaMichael James' weekly press conferences. Leave any other quack in the comments. GO DUCKS!

The only question I would ask Paterno is
would he have made the same decisions he did if the child being raped by Sandusky was his own grandchild?
Because that kid was someone’s grandchild
Why is Andrea Kramer trying to eye fuck me?
My name is not Bryce.
HEY! WILL YOU SHUT UP?!!!
Paterno needed to call the police. Or make damn sure that his superiors did. He screwed up. I don’t know that it’s any more complex than that.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Agreed
But he also shouldn’t be the face of this story. He made a mistake, but so did the Graduate Assistant who didn’t go to the police, and the AD who didn’t go to the police, and etc. The focus of this story should be the slime of humanity who allegedly committed these acts, and the victims of it.
Paterno should be an afterthought, but the media is pushing the Paterno angle because he is the biggest name, which I understand but still despise.

He's the face of the story because he's the face of Penn State
It’s his show. He clearly calls the shots there. He is the institution. What’s worse…the deviant who commits the crime or the guy who sweeps it under the rug to avoid embarrassment? To me it’s a pretty close call. It’s rather disgusting to see pictures of students rallying support for Paterno. This is the man that knowingly harbored a child predator for years.
My parents believed in me.
I don’t think it’s a close call because I think there’s more gray in it than we’re seeing. I think Paterno was in a difficult situation, whereas what Sandusky did should put him in jail for the rest of his life.
Still, I agree with you that Paterno COMPLETELY screwed this up and that he is the face of Penn St. All the blame being heaped on him comes with his level of power and responsibility in that organization. He made an incredibly bad decision, and deserves criticism for it.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I don't know about the gray area
Sandusky is someone who he knew for a long, long time. He harbored him at Penn State.
Part of this, I think, is the fact that Paterno is a relic of an age where these “dirty little secrets” were typically hidden away out of embarrassment or shame.
Sorry, JoPa, but this isn’t the ’50’s anymore where the whispers about your parish Priest or Troop leader could be ignored. This is the modern era where victims need to be protected and predators stopped.
I think that’s the last thing I’ll say on the matter. I’m done.
My parents believed in me.
This. Thank you.
I’m not sure how Paterno became the face of this story. Maybe because he is the name everyone knows. But for the love of God, there are more aspects to the disgust that is this story than JoePa. Maybe some attention could go where it belongs. On Sandusky, and honorable mention to the guy who is standing up for the two PSU associates who lied to the jury about this.

One other reason
Sandusky, Curley and Schultz have all been arrested and/or charged. McQueary and Paterno have gotten off relatively scot-free. Paterno is less culpable (my opinion) but more newsworthy than McQueary. Why McQueary has gotten a free pass through all this is completely beyond me.

I think there’s a sort of odd sympathy for McQueary since he was a grad assistant with virtually no power who witnessed this stupefying act. Never mind that McQueary was 28 at the time and that as the key witness it was his responsibility more than anyone to, if not stop the act, at least call the police directly.
There’s also the fact that he’s not 1/1,000,000th as popular a figure as Paterno. Most of what I’ve heard has identified him as culpable, but he’s not the focus.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
The more I think about it, the more that sympathy stuns me.
Grown man, 28, lone eyewitness to a horrific crime. Waits a week. Tells his Dad. Who then tells him to tell Paterno?
What kind of grown man does that in the face of witnessing the anal rape of a ten year old? You’ve gotta be kidding me. To me, that’s someone more concerned with his future glory in the program than the welfare of a helpless kid. Fuck that guy.
Grrr, I said I was done with my moral outrage over this, guess not.

I’m a bit confused on the timeline. Was it really a week that he waited? Not that it matters that much, but I’ve heard conflicting reports on this. I refuse to read the grand jury testimony, so that might be why I’m confused.

My feeling's exactly.
Am not a violent man, nore do I think that the death penalty is effective, but in this case chemical castration should be the very least – and that’s just for the spineless school admin.
For Oregon, King Kelly, and St Quack!
That's the issue re: JoPa.
He did the minimum required by law and as such doesn’t face any criminal charge. But the key word is “minimum.” When a member of your staff tells you he saw a child being anally raped in the showers, the idea of doing “the minimum required by law” is in every possible way morally repugnant.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Nov 9, 2011 10:59 AM PST up reply actions
There's still some doubt as to what exactly JoPa was told.
He still retains a teensy, tiny pit of deniability because he didn’t know exactly what was going on. Of course, any rational person would have asked more questions in this situation. At a minimum, he’s guilty of extreme apathy.
McQueary is the real villain here (other than Sandusky, of course). He clearly saw a violent, sexual assault of a child. I can understand how, in shock, you might not do the right thing immediately. But after he told his daddy and JoPa, he should have been expecting to be interviewed by the police. When that didn’t happen, and he didn’t then notify the police himself, he made a conscious decision that he was okay with Sandusky raping children.
I’m not too surprised by JoPa hanging on until the end of the season, but I’m really surprised and appalled that McQueary hasn’t been fired.

I’m not surprised by Paterno hanging on, but I disagree with the decision. Penn St. should make a bold statement right now that multiple people in positions of authority, including living legends, screwed up terribly and will not work another day for us. Even if that completely hoses our athletic department and football season.
And McQueary needs to go too.

The PSU President could not possibly have handled this situation worse.
He essentially has disappeared and left the entire world to speculate and judge rather than get out in front to the story and show any leadership at all. I doubt he survives this.

Seems this was a rather open secret around Penn State and an eerily prophetic article.

No
We know what Paterno said he was told.
Paterno testified to the grand Jury that the GA told him Sandusky was inapporpiately touching or fondling a kid in the shower. You can read the indictment but I don’t recommend it because there is a lot of messed up stuff in there but as I recall that bit is on page seven of the PDF.

I did read the indictment.
It’s vague, and does not contain a direct quote of what was said to Paterno.
"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
Who cares? We know what Paterno testified to, and it’s exactly what builds character mentioned. And given that testimony, there’s no room for deniability.
I have a small bit of sympathy for Paterno because the situation he was put in was extremely difficult. But he handled it about as poorly as someone can handle it. He shouldn’t be allowed to step on the field as an employee of Penn St. from this point forward.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Again, he’s the face of this story because he’s the most popular figure in it. He had an incredible level or responsibility that he shirked.
There’s really nothing more to be said about Sandusky. He’s an awful human being who will be tried by a court of law. And the others are kind of faceless idiots (who will also be tried).
But Paterno satisfied his legal obligation (as far as we know), so all we have is the court of public opinion. And he’s deservedly getting hammered in it.

Doesn't require a soapbox.
Anyone who’s not mortified by all this is pritnear subhuman, emotionally speaking. I’m having a pretty hard time with it too, but I think there isn’t a whole bunch else to say, and you can be sure the media will be saying plenty for the rest of the football season and beyond.
Beyond the obvious tragedy that was perpetrated on those kids, though, I think what gets me the most is the thought that if it happened at PSU, it not only could, but probably is happening elsewhere. It’s the kind of thing that makes me question why I value the good in athletics over the evil that’s caused by the organizations that control the athletes.
II don’t think it’s too trite to say that the whole thing just makes me sad, and that’s about all there is to it.

Question about the NCAA investigation thingy
When the notice of inquiry came out, I recall being told that the NCAA had 60 days to deliver a notice of allegations. (NB: That date is Wednesday, November 16.)
However, this was in Jude’s article today:
It’s been almost two months since the NCAA issued Oregon a "notice of inquiry," which marks the formal start of an investigation. UO President Richard Lariviere was notified of the inquiry via phone in mid-September; the university then made the notice public on Sept. 17, just a few hours before kickoff of Oregon’s home game against Missouri State.
The next step in the process is a "notice of allegations." According to its guidelines, the NCAA has to provide a status update to the UO within six months of the notice of inquiry.
Anyone know what’s going on here? Was I simply wrong to begin with?

From an old Moseley article about the notice of allegations
found here:
The notice of inquiry is typically delivered in written form, though the UO said Lariviere was contacted by phone. University spokesman Phil Weiler said Saturday that Lariviere couldn’t recall the exact day he got the call, and that the delayed release of the news might have been due to Lariviere’s attendance at the Pendleton Roundup late in the week.
Under typical circumstances, Lariviere would have been notified of facts collected so far by the NCAA, including any potential violations, and the approximate time period in which they occurred. According to NCAA literature, Lariviere also probably would have been informed of a potential time frame for the investigation and reminded that it could lead to additional violations not yet identified.
If major violations are determined to have been committed, the Ducks would receive a "notice of allegations," which must take place within 60 days. The school will then have 90 days to respond.
The only things I can think are that either (a) Rob was wrong, (b) Adam is wrong now, or © the wording is delicate, and they mean that the notice has to be delivered 60 days after the determination is made, but not after the notice of allegations has been delivered. Choice © seems ridiculous, so I’m leaning toward either (a) or (b).

Dilemma I am facing for this weekend.
Do I go to a bar to watch the game and enjoy/share the experience with friends? Or stay at home based on recent history?
Since the start of the ’09 I have gone to a bar to watch 5 Duck games: BSU ’09, Rose Bowl ’09, Stanford ’10, National Championship ’10; LSU ’11.
That is a terrible correlation of games spent watching in a bar to outcome of said games.

Question about quack
Is quack any interesting football-related items? Or is it specific to Oregon athletics only? I was going to post the following link to a very interesting WSJ piece about the “All-22” camera angle and how carefully it is protected by the NFL, and then label it “Here’s some more quack for ya,” or something along those lines. Then I realized that maybe this doesn’t technically qualify as quack.
Big thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.
Also, that article is cool, it talks about how viewers miss out on such a huge portion of what is happening on the football field (mostly in the secondary) due to the viewing angle that the television cameras provide. Makes you wonder what else we could learn about the Oregon secondary with the actual ability to see what’s happening before the throw gets there.

Interesting.
Like NFL Red Zone, I could see it becoming part of a subscription channel.

Anything goes, although there are a few rules. Here’s a short list (not exhaustive, but should help you get started) of things you should NEVER EVER DO AT ATQ.
1. Make proclamations of “Fuck Juju” (This is just mine, admittedly)
2. Spelling wASHINGTON with a capital W
3. Spelling New-weasel correctly
4. Mistaking Craig James for a journalist (or a human being)
5. Arguing with Daisy about shoes
6. Arguing with Benzduck about Oregon sports history
7. Arguing logically with Axemen
8. Screwing up a Wheaton Wave (in any of its various forms)

I think "Quack" is related to Ducks sports only
but it’s not like we’ve been known to go off topic. As for the “All-22” I wish we’d get that footage for Duck games. You can see the interaction between the secondary and the linebackers, the movement prior to the ball snap and all the different formations Oregon throws out there.
I really wish they’d give this as an online availability at least for replays of the game.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
I think the traditional sideline view often gets a bad rap.
I’ve seen a good number of treatises concerning the inferiority of this angle, most recently one on CGB promoting the Madden view and lamenting the sideline view’s total lack of redemptive qualities. The consensus whenever I see this is that the sideline view makes no sense, has no purpose, is obsolete and dumb.
I think there are some macro issues that people frankly overlook when addressing this. They focus on the technical things – Madden makes it easier to see the holes on the o-line, total view lets you see the secondary and routes, etc, and it’s true that other views do let you get better vantages on the techniques and particulars for some units, and let you keep better track of parts that are ignored entirely. But at least for a great many fans, fixating on that overlooks the value the sideline view adds in general storytelling. You may miss out a bit on the o-line, secondary, etc, but on average the sideline view makes the game more visually interesting and compelling.
Take the Madden view, which orients the backfield in the foreground, with the goal in the background, and the general progress of the play is from one spot within a fixed on-screen reference, towards another fixed spot in the screen. As the play proceeds there may be zooming or whatnot, but the general frame of reference is static – not even getting into the issues with action moving away from the viewer. An all-22 view, pulled back to encompass most or all of the field, has a similar issue. The space is too big and static, the players to indistinct, the motion within the static plane of reference then seeming less interesting and slower. Think televised soccer – the basic frame is a very widely set angle that encompasses a majority of the field, but the necessarily large view creates a static frame that tends to limit the visual impact of motion within it. From a sideline view, you only get a slice of the field, but leaving the goals and margins unseen actually allows for a greater sense of space – you know the goals are there and are X yards away, but having it unseen allows for a greater illusion of distance, increasing the drama and action. Players on screen are moving laterally toward an unseen space off screen, allowing the game to inhabit a conceptually larger space for the viewer, revealing more background and changing the reference frame, causing the on-screen image to be much more diverse and visually interesting and making the motion of the play more dramatic and compelling. On top of all of this, the most fundamentally significant fact in football is the position and progress of the ball w/r/t the yard lines. A view that is tight and parallel to the yard lines helps viewers track this most crucial fact better than any other. Imagine a goal line play from the Madden view – or really any non-parallel view, and this is illustrated vividly – particularly with replay challenges, non-parallel angles are extremely frustrating because they obscure the most significant fact.
The operating paradigm for all this is, of course, viewing on television from a home or elsewhere. You obviously have a very fixed reference when watching a game live, but you’re live – the broader context, immense action and detail, sights and sounds, visceral excitement – of course it’s an exponentially greater experience, but most of that is not conveyed with a broader televised view of the field. I do think that HD and ever larger televisions mitigate this – converting the conceptual space to televised space by quadrupling both the size and the definition of your television broadens immersion in a different way. High definition on a large screen allows for crisp and intimate detail on a small figure while also broadening the view of the field – bringing in some of the benefits of a broad in-person view.
Above all, the best way to televise is many diverse views. Each have their benefits and drawbacks – the most ideal experience would be one that offered multiples to choose from, so a technically interested person could focus on particular aspects in real time, while another person could opt for a more broad and cinematically-focused point of view. I do think though, and this had gone well beyond the point of what you linked, that there is just a fundamental lack of appreciation for how well the traditional view accomplishes the most basic and important aspect of televised sports – creating an on-screen product that is both visually interesting and visually compelling, and how well it actually does function as a baseline.
That ended up quite a bit longer than intended.

They all freak out (btw, they’re the preppy rich kids at my school.) and call his mom. She proceeds to call the police and file an insurance claim, Even though I offered to pay off the cost of the 20 dollar scrape. The next day, an 8 foot tall black man brake checks me and I slam into the back of him. But, due to the first accident, my insurance won’t cover the second one. So now $1,000 of damages is coming out of my pocket because of a $20 scrape.

His statement that “the Board of Trustees shouldn’t spend a single minute” talking about him was as tone-deaf a statement as a person can possibly make.

Two, the last statement about doing everything he can for PSU was just a restatement of what he did wrong in the first place. Someone said it best:
61 years of football, and all he’ll be remembered for is the things he should have done. And I feel that is exactly how it should be.

How about this?
Oregon coach Dana Altman was scrambling for a game in late August. He said Auburn had canceled on him, despite it being a home game for the Tigers.
So the Ducks were desperate. Altman talked to his good friend, Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings, about starting a series. Vandy needed a game, but it had to be the opener since that was the only date that worked.
Neither coach wanted to open the season against each other, knowing full well that Vandy was a lock for the top 15 and an SEC title contender and Oregon was a legit Pac-12 sleeper.
“I think both of us would rather have an easier game,” Stallings said. “The difference with our game and most of the others [Friday] is you’re not sure who is going to win. We’re excited about it. They’re a good team. We should be a good team.”
Boo! Would’ve loved to exact some kind of revenge on them. Their basketball team is pretty bad.

OT Help! I'm trying to lock down my days off for 2012-2013 football
I swear there was a partial schedule up a few weeks ago for the 2012-13 season starting with our three home games against patsies. I know I found it on goducks.com, but now I can’t seem to find a schedule anywhere.
Anyone know of a complete or mostly complete 2012 PAC-12 schedule?
Boom goes the dynamite
I don't think there is one beyond the TTU games being scheduled (for now) on 9/15.
The schedule is set as far as opponents, and where they play, but I don’t think it’s been set as far as order and actual dates. It looks like the CCG is set for 11/30 so the Civil War is most likely on 11/24, but that’s a blind guess.
It’s weird that goducks doesn’t have anything posted even for next year. I seem to remember them previously having partial schedules well into the future.

Thanks
What’s weird to me is that a month or so ago at goducks.com there was a 2012-13 schedule out. All the games were on a schedule (Stanford at home, washington at home, etc) except for who our south games would be, which were left blank and TBA next to them – three games I believe. I put all that on my work calendar, but today when I was getting ready to schedule next years days off, I wanted to see if there was an update for the schedule and it was gone completely.
Strange.
I just guessed at the dates, hoping I was right.

FWIW
Here’s all the info I have right now – Moseley post on the non-con, and here’s the conference schedule rotation going forward, with all the teams played each year going forward (pdf)

Well I’ll call the UO this week on my day off and ask them why so late with the schedule. This time last year they had the whole schedule out.
Also I heard that Tennessee is buying out of 2013 now.
