Quack Fix: Oregon's struggles after a layoff, a hacking and some answers from David Paulson
Lots of quack out there today, so let's get right to it.
- Rob Moseley writes about Oregon's struggles in games after a long layoff. Included in those losses are the recent Rose Bowl and National Championship games in which the Ducks were held scoreless during the first quarter.
- It looks like a goducks.com article on Oregon's loss to Virginia was hacked with some fictitious quotes attributed to Dana Altman. The hacked story was picked up by ESPN and a Virginia blogger before the fake quotes were deleted.
- The latest Ask-A-Duck featured David Paulson and you can read all his answers here.
- Ted Miller takes an early look at the conference's potential 2012 Hesiman candidates and De'Anthony Thomas makes the list. Next, Miller runs down the conference's bowl tie-ins and wonders if the Pac-12 can do better. The current bowl contracts run through 2013. And in case you were wondering what the players will receive as gifts from the conference bowl games, Ted has the all the details.
- Lindsay Schnell has a story on the most recent O Heroes effort where a handful of players helped some underprivileged kids shop for their families for the holidays.
- Josh White from fishduck.com has a post previewing the Wisconsin defense.
- It looks like Jabari Brown is off to MIssouri.
- The Lady Ducks pulled off a 79-75 victory over Cal. State Northridge on Monday night. Jasmin Holliday led the Ducks with 23 points and freshman Jordan Loera hit two free throws late to seal the victory.

My Traditional Festivus Airing of Grievances
It is time for the airing of grievances…I got a lot of problems with you people!
Let me just make sure i click the box and activate sarcasm font.
-ESPN…what the hell? First you shut down my youtube channel that took me four years to build and everybody loved. Why couldn’t you have just asked me to take down a couple videos you wanted removed? Instead you force Youtube to remove all 4,500, and in doing so deprive thousands of their Duck fix? I am in the process of building it back up bigger and better than it was before, but it’s going to again take years to complete. Also, you got rid of Bruce Feldman in favor of Craig James who left you a few months later anyway…yeah, good choices idiots!
-I am angry that I have never once gone camping with Musgrave.
-ATQ…why must you only selectively post FishDuck content? Based on what we’ve heard form people we are the greatest thing ever, so shouldn’t it all be covered? After all, it is a tiny site started by two fans who spend way too much time watching sports with zero financial backing or IT support. Why shouldn’t we be thought of on par alongside multi-million dollar companies with top-notch staff writers within inside connections to the program. We have laptops, half a case of beer, tickets to the game bought 2nd hand off of Craigslist and opinions dammit! Of course all of our articles should always appear on the quack fix!
-Chip Kelly…why do you chase points early? I understand that your two-point conversions in the first half following the first TD of the game are awesome, but in the few occasions when your system doesn’t produce massive leads you have a tendency to prematurely go for two in traditional offensive sets. Your 2pointers work because they are shifted out from a base kick formation catching the defenders off guard, but letting them align with a traditional defensive set reduces the chances for success. Unless it is absolutely necessary in the 4th quarter do it, but there is no excuse for going for 2 before the 4th! And while we’re at it, why haven’t you made out with Erin Andrews on national TV yet, she clearly wants your bod. Do you need a wing-man or something?
-Musberger…we know that during a live broadcast that we are watching it live, you don’t need to remind us at the start of each broadcast that “you are looking live…” We know.
-Fox Sports TV crews. Stop. Just stop. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about, better to say nothing and think you are a fools than to open your mouths and prove it to everyone. I’d rather watch the games on mute than listen to you talk about Darron Thomas running reverses from the WR position.
-Arizona State and UCLA. Are you saying with your recent coaching hires that you want to just default the Pac-12 south to USC every single year without having to go through the motions of actually playing the games?
-ATQ link box clicky thing. I clicked you. I know I clicked you, I totally did. So why do you not open in a new screen, as it makes me look dumb and upsets others. If I click you, act like I clicked you dammit!
-University of Oregon…why do you forget the fact that the success of the program is built upon the hardwork of those student-athletes who came before. Yes it’s great to be progressive and forward-thinking with this 21st century program, but it’s not ok to willfully turn your back on past accomplishments. I talk to a lot of former athletes from the UO, ya know the now adults who still bear the battle scars and physical ailments for the injuries they sustained for our enjoyment, all they ask for is a little recognition. There is a lot of grumbling and bitterness behind the scenes that student-athlete alumns do not get the respect they deserve. Do something about it. At least recognize their past accomplishments. When former players visit, let them tour the locker room, let them speak to the team. It’s a disgrace that when Kenny Wheaton was inducted to the hall of fame in october that he wasn’t asked t speak to the team or be a part of anything except the halftime ceremony. This is THE legend of the program, and Kelly doesn’t even acknowledge him? Many many many former athletes are kinda pissed at you, start embracing the history of the program more.
-Finally, I am upset that I can’t think of that other thing that really upset me.

Right there with you regarding the ritual avoidance of the past by the athletic dept administration
One example: there has never been a photo of former coach John McEwan in the media guide. When they went digital in 2009 I thought this would be the prefect opportunity to remedy the situation, so I emailed Andy McNamara and asked if they could get pics of all the old coaches in the media guide.
His response: “We dont have any pictures of McEwan.”
Bullshit. I went to the UO digital archives, and within 30 seconds had six usable photos of McEwan. I suggested this to McNamara as an option, but only heard crickets in response.
Is it that important to have an image of a coach from over eighty years ago? Depends on how you look at it. From my perspective, if you have a photo of Doc Spears, who coached two seasons, why not have one of his immediate predecessor, who coached four years and won more games?
But I suppose if you don’t give a fuck about the past, things like an image of a long dead coach, or respect to a former star cornerback, don’t matter to enough people to make a difference in policy. Trouble is, some of us do give more than an armpit fart for the efforts of the people who kept the program running all those years.

- I am aggrieved at HRD that there haven’t been any boner pilz advertisements since the Pac12 Championship week. IT’S YOUR JOB TO ENTERTAIN ME ON MONDAY MORNINGS WITH HARD OBSERVATIONS ABOUT OUR STIFF COMPETITION AND YOUR RECENT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FLIMSY AND LIMP AT BEST.
- I am aggrieved at Bodyspray23 for calling me a sweet old lady in yesterday’s Quack Fix. I AM NOT SWEET DAMMIT I AM BRILLIANT, SLY AND SMOKING HOT!
- I am aggrieved at a relative that shall remain nameless for posting what she is making for dinner every single night on Facebook. WHY WHY WHY CAN’T I UNFRIEND A RELATIVE AND GET AWAY WITH IT??
- I am aggrieved at the apparent recent break-up of Tako and Musgrave. THAT’S WHY I WATCH THIS SHOW EVERY DAY AND I SWORE THEY WOULD BE TOGETHER FOREVER BUT THEN THAT TRAMP DAISYDUCK SHOWED UP TO LURE MUSGRAVE AWAY AND TAKO IS HEARTBROKEN ALTHOUGH HE’S PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW BY THROWING A MAD DOG 20/20 PARTY IN HIS TRAILER HOUSE.

It varies based on different sources. It has been celebrated between 12/17-12/23
But most choose December 20th as the day of Festivus.
However since the traditions of Festivus are based in non-conformity, there is no strict policy on the exact date, and really festivus is for any time of year.

See, how the NCAA rules violations are assessed and punishments levied is through a raffle system, which is operated by Jim Tressel…hence why USC received high penalties, while OSu and UNC and Miami skate by relatively unharmed considering the level of their actions.

Pick the winner of the 2011 Darwin Award (Does anyone really want to talk about Ohio State)
Semifinalist #1
A young Canadian man, searching for a way of getting drunk cheaply because he had no money with which to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk. Not surprisingly, this concoction made him ill, and he vomited into the fireplace in his house. The resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing both him and his sister.
Semifinalist #2
Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude when another plane approached. It appears that they decided to moon the occupants of the other plane, but lost control of their own aircraft and crashed. They were all were found dead in the wreckage with their pants around their ankles.
Semifinalist #3
A 22-year-old Reston, VA man was found dead after he tried to use octopus straps to bungee jump off a 70-foot rail road trestle. Fairfax County police said Eric Barcia, a fast-food worker, taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped an end around one foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped and hit the pavement. Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman, said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby. “The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the concrete,” Carmichael said. Police say the apparent cause of death was “Major trauma.”
Semifinalist #4
A man in Alabama died from numerous rattlesnake bites. It seems that he and a friend were playing a game of catch, using the rattlesnake as a ball. The friend – no doubt a future Darwin Awards candidate – was hospitalized, but lived.
Semifinalist #5
Employees in a medium-sized warehouse in west Texas noticed the smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building, extinguishing all potential sources of ignition; lights, power, etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of the lights worked. Witnesses later described the sight of one of the technicians reaching into his pocket and retrieving an object that resembled a cigarette lighter. Upon operation of the lighter-like object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three miles away. Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter
was virtually untouched by the explosion. The technician suspected of causing the blast had never been thought of as ‘’especially bright’’ by his peers.
