Quack Fix: Basketball with a win over Portland State and the football team takes a break from practice

PrintI don't know about you, but this last weekend was terrible without a full slate of college football. Thankfully, the bowl games start soon. Here's your Tuesday morning quack:
- Aaron Fentress has a story with some details on Oregon's bowl preparations. After practices for four straight days, the Ducks now have a three-day break, though it sounds like many players will spend that time in the film or weight rooms. The coaches are also making use of the time off from practices to go on recruiting trips.
- The Ducks had some trouble putting away Portland State last night, but ended up with a 79-70 home victory. It also looks like Oregon will be without Tyrone Nared for at least the next four games after he suffered a knee injury during a scramble for a loose ball in the second half.
- With the younger players taking a lot of reps in practice the last four days, Rob Moseley has a piece on the progression of Oregon's redshirting freshmen, including some quotes from some of Oregon's starters. And, a Q&A with Mark Asper is included at the very end (or here)---he even answers a question on leg whips.
- Bob Clark's look around the conference focuses on the departure of Reeves Nelson from UCLA. Oregon is fifth in his weekly rankings.
- Adam Jude goes over some of the bonuses the Chip Kelly and the rest of the staff can earn with a victory over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.
- Ted Miller has the Pro Football Weekly All-American team, which also takes into account NFL potential. John Boyett is the only Duck to earn a mention.
Go Ducks!

Nice, that's a 10-3 team - not too shabby
Boyett on the AA list, well deserved too!
For Oregon, King Kelly, and St Quack!
He is one of my favs too, and is my fav receiver.

downfield kickoff coverage
This is going to be important to winning this game. We’re not going to be kicking any touchbacks, and for the most part our coverage has been very good. That said, we can’t allow wisconsin to be catching the ball & bringing it up to the 30 or better.

Does anyone else think coaches get payed to much?
I understand they have a extremely demanding job that takes enormous amounts of dedication, but is 3 million in one year really necessary?

I agree. Kelly should get paid whatever he wants.
It just blows my mind how much we invest into entertainers as a society.
"You better show up. You don’t have to be the best team in the country. You just have to be the best team in the stadium on that day." Chip Kelly
That should depend on where the money comes from.
If the school is private, or if the athletic department is self-sufficient, then it doesn’t matter how much they’re paid.

I don't know if I can say they do or don't get paid too much.
Whether for better or worse, that is what it has come down to. It’s a very competitive and demanding job.
Though, I think a lot of it comes down to self-sufficiency.

"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
The simple answer is yes
The more complicated answer really gets into sticky areas. Top football programs bring in a lot of money and what is worth then to have a top coach. As salaries in the pros skyrocket, colleges need to compete to keep talent at the college level or risk having to bring up fresh, younger and cheaper coaches more frequently and what does that cost or does it set the program back. And then factor in some fat banker making billion dollars a year while putting an entire economy at risk, why shouldn’t a coach at a good program make a few measly million?
Should a guy that can swing a bat make 25 million a year?

"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
Exactly.
I have no problem with the businesses shelling out millions if they want to. It’s that we are so addicted to sports (1 finger pointing at the world, 4 back at me) that they are able to afford it. If I might refer to a debate from last week, it’s also why scalpers are able to get away with buying 8 RB tickets and selling them for 5x+ the original price.

There is a big difference between a private company like an MLB or NFL team
paying crazy salaries and a public university. I guess I feel that no public employee should be making 3m a year, or getting 500k in state pension, but as others have said, that is their market value. Despite being a public employee they are still in a multi-million dollar business. My conflicted values on this is sort of a microcosm of all that is strange and sorta shady about big time college athetics
Under the new PERS reforms
Chip Kelly won’t get nearly the same pension Bellotti did because he was hired after 1995, even though he’s paid more.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yes
They are basically CEOs of multi-million $ corporations, college football teams, and they are paid are such.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Except they are not corporations, they are often public institutions may receive
a portion of their budget directly, and at the very least benefit from significant subsidies by their association with the public institution. Makes for a bit of an odd situation.
Do you know whether or not the UofO football program is self-sustaining (can we include what Uncle Phil gives us in this?)?
If so, I wouldn’t be surprised if that money was funneled to non-revenue sports.
I know there is frequently talk of schools losing money to attend bowl games, but do we generally operate in the black?

Football funds all other sports
Men’s basketball helps a bit but not as much.
We are pretty close to self-sustaining, as close as anyone really gets.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
If football (at the UofO) is self-sustaining, are state funds counted as part of their budget or is it the AD’s budget? I suppose it’s semantics, really.

I know but we should think of them as that
Because that’s basically what they are.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
As much as anything,
I think it’s about the facts that (a) when a football program is doing well, they can pay that kind of salary, and (b) retaining a winning coach is therefore actually financially beneficial. I’m pretty sure that it works out in Oregon’s interest — and I’d wager, strongly so — to shell out the big bucks to keep a guy like Chip around. (When we’re winning, we get on TV more, we sell more merchandise, and so forth.)
There’s also a bit of a chicken-and-the-egg quality to this question, though, because if nobody paid their coaches exorbitant salaries, then we wouldn’t need to, either. But such is the reality of a free market economy.

You're responsible for 110 under 24 year old guys and ~20 staff/coaches
and if a single one of them fucks up, it’s your head that rolls. Now, take that pressure and you can only supervise them for a few hours a day, but you’re still expected to push them to perform at the highest level possible. You are basically the figurehead and CEO of a mid sized company that is generating in the area of $40Million / year. Your life is incredibly public and on top of controlling the football program you are also a highly visible figurehead for a major university and the community you live in.
You’re going to spend 12hours a day working 7 days a week and often longer for at least half a year. The other half a year you’re going to be traveling, recruiting, setting up the future of the athletics program. You’ll invest so much time that often you don’t have a social life outside a tiny circle. If you are in a relationship, chances are she’s going to leave you because you can’t spend time away from the program and maintain your job. Our own Chip Kelly divorced after taking the Oregon job.
I’d say that many of us would love to make the kind of money a head coach makes, but put us in the same position and there are very few people who have the drive and capability to effectively fill that role. There are 110 jobs like Chip Kelly’s in the nation, out of those maybe 20 are top flight jobs that anyone would take. There are 7 BILLION people on this planet and 20 of those people are in the position that Chip Kelly is in. I wouldn’t expect them to ever be paid any less or deserve any less. If you want the best in the nation you have to be ready to pay for it. Sure we could get a guy in here making 500,000 a year instead, but then we’d be WSU for the last 5 years. You get what you pay for.
In short, no I don’t think they’re paid too much, as a matter of fact with the success Oregon has had over the last 3 years I would be very happy if we made Chip Kelly the best paid coach in the nation. And raise the assistant coaches’ salaries as well!

If Chip Kelly wins the Rose Bowl maybe AtQ should work on finding him a nice lady friend. We’ve had several post on here in the last year, maybe one of them will take one Chip for the team.
If Chip can lead the team to a national championship I think I know a lot of Duck fans that would take one for the team regardless of gender.
The oft-repeated rumor is that he's dating a girl from Grants Pass.
I’ve heard it from a lot of non-connected people who have supposedly seen them together, but I have no corroborating information.

The obvious answer is that everyone in sports is paid too much.
Teachers make $30,000 per year before taxes while dudes playing a game for a living get millions per year. That’s just the world we live in.
Things like that.
In Ca the average is closer to 70K,
but when you take into account cost of living in some areas, that sounds like a lot more than it is. But i get the jist of your comment. I would say it goes well beyond sports. most economist agree that we are starting to develop a very hourglass economy with obscene amounts of money at the top, too many people in the lower section and a very limited middle class. Sports figures, coaches, players owners and media moguls are only part of the overall issue.
Not all people in sports are making too much money. Guys that run concessions, maintain fields, the labor side of it, aren’t getting rich any time soon ;-)

Much of the time, I tend to think they dont.
For coaches such as Chip Kelly, Nick Saban, Lane Kiffin etc… The amount they earn is miniscule compared to the revenue that their program generates. So it makes sense that they are paid in millions of dollars. As a university (or state politician) I would try to make damn sure that the person responsible for something generating hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t liable to leave.

This list is a JOKE
Penn State is 11th? Yeah, OK then. Miami is 15th? Florida State 4th? I mean, they have UCLA ranked in the top 25, when this recent coaching search proved that Wazzzu is a more desired job.
This is a lazy list. It’s not of desirable jobs. It’s of “prestige” in college football.

I didn’t even read anything other than Oregon’s entry, to be quite honest. I just wanted to rekindle that old meme flame.

And "all the problems with recruiting in state"? You mean, like, there aren't as many kids as there are in CA, TX or FL that want to play football?
Perhaps his favorite Oregon LB is John Bacon? Much would be explained.

Aren't we playing ArkySt next season?
REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
I’m thinking back to when Dick Harter scheduled a game in Mac Court against Villanova — the team that pounded his undefeated Penn team in the NCAAs in 1970 — and left the starters in for almost the entire game, winning 116-77, just to rub it in Rollie Massimino’s face (even though he wasn’t Nova’s coach at the time).
With five minutes left in the game Harter put on a full-court press with a 35 point lead. When asked after the game WTF, Harter said “I thought the rules allowed you to press.”
Bring on Malzahn.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ
Couldn’t Malzahn get a real job somewhere?
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
Seriously.
He has been rumored for every head coaching position in the past year, and now the rumor is that he may coach for Arkansas St? Really? I would have to think that ASU and Penn State may at least think about Malzahn.

really excited. It will be good to get some real hip-hop out again

There is plenty of good new hip-hop,
it is just difficult to find, and even less popular :(

by FromAutzenWithLove on Dec 13, 2011 9:16 PM PST up reply actions
Who else do you like, I can probably find you some good stuff
For example, I loved me some UGK and outkast. If you are a fan of them you might want to look into a dude named Big KRIT but anyways he makes his own beats as well as raps. Beats sounds like a mix of old kanye west mixed with organized noize.
I love me some Outkast and old Wu-Tang
I know it might not be a popular opinion, but I really enjoy Kanye and Lupe Fiasco.
by FromAutzenWithLove on Dec 13, 2011 9:33 PM PST up reply actions
Lupe has two really good albums and a lot of good mixtapes...but lasers was garbage
And I enjoy Kanye as well. He makes good music but hes kind of a jackass but I understand why he is that way. I’d shoot you some youtube links but apparently i’m not smart enough to figure out how to link them on here
Food and Liquor was a great album.
I hope Food and Liquor 2 is more like that than Lasers, which I agree was garbage.
by FromAutzenWithLove on Dec 13, 2011 9:41 PM PST up reply actions
indeed
Anyways here are a few tracks for you to youtube when you get some time by KRIT
can’t be all-(song has a sweet outkast sample)
hometown hero(sweet adele and friday night lights sample)
the vent (just a real introspective song)
dreamin(sounds like a classic kanye beat with the soul sample)
send me an angel(yes he does sample the scorpions on this song and somehow it works)
let me know what you think
Funnily enough I was just listening to Dreamin' and Somedayz
he has a really nice flow. HTans for letting me know about him
by FromAutzenWithLove on Dec 13, 2011 9:48 PM PST up reply actions
No problem
He just got signed not to long ago but he probably put out the best hip hop album of this last year and it is free.
ugh
Looks like they only have the chopped and screwed version up right now. If you are interested I can send it to you at some point.
New stuff? You may already know a lot of this.
There are Binary Star and One Be Lo, who are both fairly well known now-a-days. Substanital is good. Cyne is fantastic. Dead Prez have come out with some good stuff somewhat recently. Cormega isn’t new, but is under-appreciated. Kno makes some fantastic stuff (and also produces for the Cunninlynguists who are awesome). Masta Killa has some good new-ish stuff. Snowgoons have gotten really popular lately, but have some good songs. Sage Francis sort of straddles the line between hip-hop and something else, it works well though. P.O.S has gotten a lot more play, which is well deserved. Royce Da 5’9 just came out with a new album, some of which is pretty good.

Cormega's "new" album is GREAT
It’s called raw forever, its more of best of and some of his classic songs redone with a live bank. I really like it a lot.
also I would recommend statik selekta's population control
Its a compliation album as he is a producer. Has some known acts as well as some up and comers. Some grimey east coast rap
If either of you guys are still in school at Uof O
I highly recommend taking the History of HipHop class with Prof. Kajikawa. MUS360 I think? really good class

also the roots just put out a new album

Lots of good hip hop fans here! Nice!
CaDuck gave a lot of awesome suggestions, here’s some others:
Blu- Check out Blu & Exile’s Below The Heavens. Amazing album
Reks-His new album REKS is really good
Elzhi is amazing. His new mixtape Elmatic is great
Blue Scholars’ first 2 albums were really good, not the biggest fan of their newest stuff though
Check out the following website for lots of good underground info
The following artists put out two of the best albums of the year and they are free!
The weeknd
Frank Ocean
i just cant get into those odd future guys
I tried the weeknd once and didnt keep my attention guess ill try again
by lostkauze on Dec 13, 2011 11:04 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
Ocean is completely different than the rest of the group
And its a good album to have with the GF as it is very chick friendly as well.
I really like Frank Ocean
but I put him more as R&B rather than hip-hop
by FromAutzenWithLove on Dec 13, 2011 11:05 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah i would agree with that.
Couple other Artists I like
Little Brother
Shad
Nicolay and Kay
Other good R&B
Big Boi’s last album
Anything from Roots
big boi's album was very underappreciated
I like little brother but they miss 9th wonder. Speaking of which since you guys like the weeknd and frank ocean you might want to check out foreign exchange if you havent already

That article on the Redshirt Freshmen
and Mark Asper was really well-written. I got a lot out of that story, and I’d certainly suggest that anybody who skips straight to the comments go back and read it!
Also, there’s hearsay the Larry Scott is eyeing China for some football game locations. You’ve probably already heard that, but did you know it could be Stanford-Notre Dame 2013?
I couldn’t imagine the jet lag the Fighting Irish would have to deal with. Not to mention the insanely long flight, that’s an 11 hour time-shift difference. Not the ideal conditions for playing a football game.
