Quack Fix: Ducks fall to Creighton, spring football kicks off and baseball prepares for Pac-10 season

PrintSorry about the lack of quack yesterday -- AtQ had a scheduling snafu. But, that means we get an extra large helping today! Enjoy.
- The men's basketball team suffered an 84-76 defeat at the hands of Creighton last night in the first game of the CBI finals. After falling behind by nearly 20 points in the second half, the Ducks cut the lead to four late before running out of gas. The Ducks are now faced with having to beat the Bluejays in consecutive games in order to claim the CBI title. Thankfully, both games two (Wednesday) and three (Friday) will be at MKA.
- Spring football kicks off today and Rob Moseley runs down some of the questions the Ducks will hope to answer (or at least get a start on answering) over the next month. And, it was reported late yesterday that Texas transfer DB Marcus Davis will not be returning to the team next season. After sitting out last season, Davis was expected to compete for a backup safety position this year.
- John Hunt's piece on the start of spring football focuses on the lofty expectations surrounding the team heading into the 2011 season.
- It was announced yesterday that Garrett Sim and Nic Fearn were named to the conference's All-Academic second team. Though Fearn is no longer with the team, this is a nice honor for both players.
- Ted Miller has been busy recently. On Friday, in case you missed it, he ranked the top QB-RB-WR trios for the upcoming season. Oregon comes in at #2 behind Stanford, though Miller concedes that the two teams could be flipped. Following up, Ted ranked the top DL-LB-DB trios in the conference, as well, with Oregon coming in at #4. Miller also posted a mailbag that has a couple of Duck items. Finally, Miller takes a look at each team's backup QB situation.
- Over the weekend, the baseball team salvaged a split in their four-game series with Witchita State. The Ducks sit at 14-9 as they look to open the conference schedule on the road Friday against Arizona State. The Ducks disappointing start to the season has seen them drop in the polls; the latest poll from USA Today/ESPN now ranks them at #37.
As always, if you find quack, please share it in the comments.
Go Ducks!

The last four episodes have been pee-in-my-pants funny, especially the last two. Plus the whole Magnum PI tribute in the last episode (that I didn’t realize they were doing) was brilliant.

14-9 in baseball vs. 19-4
with a little help from the bullpen and a couple clutch hits . . . that’s the difference. This weekend will be a huge test for our young guys. At least they’ll get to play in real baseball weather.
When we talked to Coach Horton in Scottsdale, he said, “see you in Omaha”. That may be a bit optimistic after our start this season.
He was actually referring to the CBI championship series.

Although you can trust a Moseley commenter about as far as you can throw them...
One commenter with some sort of “source” claimed that Davis’ departure has to do with his grandmother’s declining health. While, again, I trust hardly anything I read from those people over there, I would hope that if is in fact true people will not wildly toss names around like “burnout” at Davis. If he is leaving to support his grandmother, props to him.
Avoid the clap, Jimmy Dugan.
Fits with what I've seen elsewhere
this certainly wasn’t a “you screwed up” departure or an “I wanna play” one either.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
Maybe they're confused with Dontae
because Ken Goe has reported that Williams left the team because the grandmother that raised him is sick.

All: The other two practices this week are Thursday and Saturday (full pads). Practices are open the public and run from about 8:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. After this week, practices will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the weeks leading up to the April 30 Spring Game.

Hillsboro native (and former UT QB) Erik Ainge has come forward about his struggles with drug abuse.
Wow. Says he’s been addicted to drugs since age 12. Before he went to rehab last summer, he was addicted to painkillers, heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. Sad stuff. Glad he’s trying to stop.

Wow is right.
I knew his dad and uncles — Danny, David and Doug all went to North Eugene, the HS next door, and we hung in some of the same circles — and that seemed to be as straight a Mormon family as you’ll find anywhere in Eugene. In fact his uncle Danny turned down a scholarship offer from Dick Harter because (among other things) Harter smoked, drank, and wasn’t a good role model. Just goes to show you, addiction cares not for religion, nor socioeconomic status, nor race.
I suffer from chronic back pain and have my share of prescription meds, but I can’t imagine being able to knock back 25 percocets every 5 hours.
I hope he can pull himself out of it.

that we have never won. Fuck the Cotton and Liberty Bowls. And the Seattle and ALoha Bowls while we’re at it (although they are defunkt).
"Dispatch yourself with the utmost precision, and proceed as far as your individual excellency will permit." - John McEwan
Given the quality of the turf
at both the Fiesta Bowl and NC I would have to agree with the BCS on this one.
To Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
that's what I can't figure out.
The whole idea behind that stadium was that they built the field on a giant tray. They could roll the turf outside and let it grow under the 300+ days of sunshine they get down there every year. Always perfect turf, they said.
Somebody’s got some ‘splainin’ to do, because that turf at the NC was an abomination.
"Dispatch yourself with the utmost precision, and proceed as far as your individual excellency will permit." - John McEwan
They replaced the entire field because
They wanted to. They did the same thing after the Rose Bowl the year before.

"Dispatch yourself with the utmost precision, and proceed as far as your individual excellency will permit." - John McEwan
That wasn’t turf, it was just loose natural carpet. Real turf isn’t just green, it has roots that actually go into soil.
Speed Endurance Talent is how Track Town USA plays football. WWWWWWWWWWWWin The Day
If I recall, it was so torn up from the Fiesta bowl
that they had to put new turf down only 5 days before the NC. Then, they didn’t open the roof to either let sunshine in or moisture escape. Therefore, soggy, loose surface.
No excuse for that.
To Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
I have no idea why they did this
The Cardinals play on it week after week during the season without tearing it up, right? So why did they have to tear it up between the Fiesta and NC games? I’ve never understood that.
The conspiracy theorist in me
thinks it was done to take away Oregon’s only advantage…speed. Both teams relied on speed, but Auburn also had superior size and strength.
Take away the speed advantage from both teams and Oregon is left physically outmatched up front because Auburn’s size and strength isn’t affected by the loose turf.
To Alcohol: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!
Because the BCS does it that way
As I note above, they did the same thing the year before in the Rose Bowl.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
that doesn't really explain
why the field was so horrible for the Fiesta Bowl. I’m sure the reasoning was truly benign, but it does seem incompetent if you are unable to provide a satisfactory surface for such big games.

That has nothing to do with tectonics
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
The difference for the Fiesta and NC games was that the field was NEVER rolled outside to get the necessary sun it needed to really take hold. The bowl game had installed some extra seating in the south end zone for the bowls that made it impossible to roll the field outside.
Also, they used the area outside where the field would normally roll out to stage all the media trucks and equipment. This obviously could have been moved, and the temporary bleachers were the real issue here.
I don't mean to impose...
Yes, which was kept closed for some reason.

This could be a really good thing. I think the BCS needs some new voices and a break in the “tradition” they’ve created. Bringing a guy like Jerry Jones in could be good too because that guy doesn’t give two shits what the Rose Bowl or the Big 10 (12?) want, he has dollar signs in his eyes like a cartoon character.
I don’t think this is the first step to a playoff, but a major BCS shake up could be the first step towards proving that the system isn’t perfect and change isn’t the worst thing that could happen to the bowl system.
The one thing I don't like about this
Is it pushes the BCS bowls further east, with only the Rose Bowl left in the Pacific OR Mountain time zones. While I certainly wouldn’t mind ADDING a BCS game in Texas (especially if it moves us any any fashion closer to a playoff), losing Phoenix and the natural tie in there if the Pac12 happens to get a second BCS team (this year notwithstanding) doesn’t seem good for the Pac.
Yeah, that natural tie-in really helped Stanford... :(

Good listen.
Many have said the NCAA’s aim is trying to keep 7×7 camps from becoming AAU basketball. According to the guest, the NCAA can’t stop camps and other athletic activities from being held off of member campuses (which I didn’t know). Here’s what I don’t understand: what the hell does anyone think the NCAA can do once camps are held on community colleges and high school campuses? This makes “the street agent investigation” seem pointless and the NCAA’s aim poorly chosen.
Allowing coaches to attend camps (on or off campus) won’t necessarily fix the situation. Coaches can’t run off street agents anymore than they can run off a parent who wants their kid to play for their own alma matter. In the Seastrunk situation, his coach was told Lache’s recruiting was covered. A coach has to respect that.

It’s been about a year since our “Lil’ Gorby” Auctions, and I’ve been wondering ATQ wants to sponsor a “CK and friends’ signatures” Auction again, whether based around Lil Gorby or another cause (Japan?). I’m more than willing to go out and buy something(s) and be the middle man to CK again this year; He was willing, without being asked, to do more than we ever asked, and I bet he’d be happy to help again this year.

I think it’s Mitchell’s job to lose, personally
Really? You’re telling me the coaches are going to go with a red-shirt frosh over a guy that starting experience from last year. Don’t get me wrong, Mitchell can play his way in, and I’m sure he’ll get his chances on the field to prove himself, but Gildon was a starter last year, and was a starter the year before that when we had a lot of injuries. He got beat out last year by Cliff and struggled because of injuries late in the season, but you really think it’s Mitchell’s to lose? Ok.

Gildon started two years ago because we got blasted at DB

His athletic ability is better than Gildon
He was consistently singled out for excellent performance on the scout team while redshirting last year. He also apparently made gains in the weight room as well.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
So if Gildon
starts because he has the experience and knowledge to play along side CH13, Boyett and Pleasant, understands the defensive schemes, and the size to play on the run side of the ball at corner so CH13 can line up on the pass catching WR, are you going to assume Mitchell lost the job?

I'm going with WR
not because I think we’re going to have a huge drop off, but because our WR’s last year (and especially Maehl and Davis) were so great at blocking on the edges.
Huff and Tuinei will hold their own, but are yet to be proven as consistent blockers.
Lavender double U's have no soul

Tui did just fine.
And I think Huff at least held his own. A year of experience doesn’t hurt. Plus there’s the whole “you don’t block, you don’t get the rock” thing. Fear is and excellent motivator.
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Mar 29, 2011 9:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah but
Tuinei and Huff were our 3rd and 4th best blockers last year. Plus, Huff had a number of drops that I’d like to see him improve on. Add in that we’re going to be throwing in a whole new #3 WR plus 2 new big time subs, and I’m concerned they don’t get off to a fast start.
Also, you know LSU is going to load up the box and try and keep LMJ from beating them along the lines of what Auburn did. Our WR need to on from the get go.
Outside of WR, OL does scare me too, I just think we’re deeper, more experienced and more talented then we were in ’09.
Lavender double U's have no soul
Addicted to Quack
It just doesn't worry me that much.
Huff had a heck of a lot to learn as a true frosh last year, and was playing in unfamiliar positions. TZR, Slot, H, RB. I think he performed admirably and now has a year of good experience to build on. Plus, with that fireplug build, he’s a natural as a blocker. I’d put Tui as our 2b blocker, about equal with Maehl. DJ was far and away the best blocking WR I’ve seen in a good while.
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.

I think we will miss both of those guys blocking downfield, can’t really be said enough, both of them contributed big in that undervalued role. I agree Tui did pretty well, too, just hoping someone else steps up – not that they can’t – but those two guys had it down to a science.
I also think it will be interesting to see if anyone steps into the go to guy role that Maehl seemed to play. Seems like the talent is there, just need the chemistry and someone to step up.

I think blocking is one of those things that develops with experience in our system.
It’s not any great coincidence that Davis and Maehl were our best blockers last year. Tuinei will be in his third active year in the system, and has the frame to block DBs and LBs. Huff has the experience and will get the practice reps.
I expect the new guys to step up and fill that role.

I think he's the most "ready" WR of the lot.
Just my opinion, but from the videos I’ve watched, he has the look of a fairly polished wideout. He seems to run the cleanest routes and makes catches with his feet rather than with his hands, if you get my meaning.

I agree with you. I don't think the coaches will have any problem putting our TEs at slot often.
If we don’t see very good blockers emerging in the WR position beneath Tuinei and Huff, we have talented, athletic tight ends to cover.
We’ll have Tuinei, Huff, and Paulson as our hands crew, and you bet we’ll see Barner a bunch. We’ve got the bases covered. Sure you like to be deep at receiver, but it’s not like we have some kind of shortage on the hands crew.

Ed Dickson lined up in the slot many times in his career. As has Paulson.
I don’t worry at all.

Oh, no, we never had them do that.
I think the confusion here was you using “WR” in place of specifically the flanker position. Slot receivers fall under the category WR, so I think both Crow and I were trying to argue that it’s very possible we’ll see our tights in the slot. Paulson’s in the slot all the time for our Trips package.
You also deemed Lyerla the “4th string TE”, whereas he was in fact introduced as a WR on signing day.

Also if he red shirts and is on the scout team, they’ll play him at D sometimes and I think he’ll see he can get in there quicker. Who knows though.

Maybe so.
But my take is that he could be an…OK WR or a very good TE but a game-changer at LB. We have guys who almost certainly will turn out to be better receivers and guys who are as big and nearly as athletic AND faster at TE, but I don’t think we have anyone who has his potential at LB. Most of the scouts agree he could easily put on 25lbs without losing his athleticism. At 255, with his skills, you’re entering Urlacher territory.

I'm not saying they couldn't be a great unit.
It’s just worrying. Very much so. Although…having veterans at QB, TE, RB, and at 2 of the receiver spots (and TZR) could help offset inexperience across the line. And there’s the fact that Weems was the de facto “6th start” last season. But in a lightning-fast spread attack not having an experienced center is terrifying.
