Quack Fix: Women place 2nd at Track & Field Championships, Centrowitz is 1500 champion

PrintWith the end of the track & field season, it's officially the offseason for Oregon athletics. But hey, we're less than two months away from fall camp. Here's your quack
- The Oregon women were one lap away from winning their first outdoor track and field championship since 1985. In the final lap of the final event (4x400 relay) of the meet, Oregon and Texas A&M were tied at 39, with Oregon runner Laura Roesler just ahead of Texas A&M’s Jessica Beard. Unfortunately, Roesler couldn't hold on, and Beard (who also won the 400m crown) brought her team the national title with the fastest split in meet history. The Ducks posted the fastest time in school history in the 4x400, but it wasn't enough, as the Ducks came in second.
- Unfortunately, the Ducks suffered just enough setbacks earlier in the meet to keep them from getting the title. Jordan Hasay went for it all, running in both the 1500 and 5000, and that gamble ultimately didn't pay off, as she took 4th in the 1500, and 8th in the 5000.
- The Oregon men didn't have quite the showing, coming in only 10th, but the highlight for the men was Matthew Centrowitz. He's a three time Pac-10 champion in the 1500, and now he's an NCAA champion. Centrowitz is now the 10th UO champion in the 1500 or mile.
- While the end of the season is a bit disappointing, next year could be something very special for the Ducks. For the women, they return every athlete who scored points at the NCAA championships this year. And 28 of Oregon's 45 points came from freshmen and sophomores. The Ducks also may get the return of two time NCAA heptathalon champion Brianne Theisen, who was forced to redshirt this season due to a back injury. The men will have more holes to fill, but are bringing in what Vin Lananna believes to be his best recruiting class at Oregon.
- Phil Steele has Oregon #4 in his Top 30 countdown (warning: link is to PDF Preview). He says Oregon has his top rated running back unit in the country. With LaMichael James, Kenjon Barner, Lache Seastrunk, and De'Anthony Thomas, that seems about right. Overall, Steele expects Oregon's units to match last years production despite some loss of experience, and win the Pac-12 title.
With the offseason upon us, how are you gonna pass the summer? Also, leave any other links in the comments. GO DUCKS!

I don't know why T&F isn't a more popular televised sport
maybe the shot put isn’t great TV, but the races were really exciting. The women’s 4×400 with a last leg to win the NC was great entertainment (despite the loss). I hope that with the PAC12 network and expanding televised coverage we can follow and watch more sports from wherever we may now reside.
whoever was in charge of picking that school to host (and responsible for the 80% empty stands) should be fired. how sad.

Steele took some liberties on our starting lineup...
he has Clanton starting at guard and anthony wallace taking he Mike starting spot. While these are possibilities, I think they’re unlikely. However, how would you guys feel about Clanton and Wallace winning spots? I think this is best case scenario. However, JUCO olinemen need a year as a backup and I don’t see a true frosh mastering our scheme.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Yeah, we may have the best stable when it comes to RB but am not sure if we can surpass last years performance given the change in O line. When you add even less of a threat at WR it makes me wonder if Chip will tweak the offense again to play on our strenghths.
Hmm…a long line of fast RBs….anyone ever seen 7 aside rugby? My money is that this will be Chips’ tweak.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
DWS is only a felony in Oregon under two circumstances — either you’ve caught driving after a suspension for a felony committed with a vehicle, or you hurt someone with your car while you’re license is suspended for DUI.
I just hope to hell he wasn’t drinking.

Driving over 100mph can be a felony, I know because I was working in the OR Legislature when we passed the law.

Yeah, he got a speeding ticket.
People are talking about suspending him? Why would he get suspended? So if he were going 82 would it have been ok? 92? My point is that, there is no way to decide an arbitrary speed at which if a player is driving they should be “suspended.” Was it stupid? Certainly. But not a big deal in the bigger picture.

I would be shocked if the OSP couldn’t tell a license was suspended when they call it in.

Don't Oregon driver's licenses have a magnetic strip of bar code that can be scanned to quickly check the validity of the license?

I wish I could say I didn’t do stupid stuff like this when I was 20, but I unfortunately I can’t say that. I recall at least one occasion riding in a car going over 100mph on I5 South in San Diego headed for Tijuana. Not that it makes it okay… I just think it’s really, really easy to forget that a lot of these guys aren’t even 21 yet. He should still be in trouble and be held accountable for his mistake so he learns from it, which, unfortunately, sometimes how one goes about “growing up”.

No, the worst part is the Coburg speed trap
because you can finally see Spencer Butte about 5 miles north of Coburg and you say to yourself ARRIGHTI"MALMOSTHOME and subconsciously you start to accelerate. If you haven’t slowed down to under 75 by the time you see the Marathon Coach building on the right, you’re screwed.
For a while there Coburg got most of its city operating income from sticking a couple of biker cops with lasers under the overpass. Might still for all I know. They nailed me more than once.

Looks like to me like he was just making sure that area was covered.
Also, the police said he was “driving” that speed, but that’s only because most people wouldn’t believe the report if it said “Harris was pulled over after caught jogging 118 MPH on radar”. The “car” he was driving was being “rented” is common police cover up jargon for “that dude was crazy fast, yo”.

When i got popped doing 120
i was in my car with CA plates and the cop was a total ass at first. Then i pulled out my expired Oregon license and he reduced the ticket to 95 MPH which came to $500 and gave me a sticker to make my license valid. I drove in CA for another 2 years on my newly legitimate Oregon License.

It's a rental
Who hasn’t tried to find out how fast a rental can go (or whether it can peel out in 2nd, or how fast you can take a speed bump). No one ever drives a rental like they drive their own car.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

My two moving violations that I’ve been pulled over from were in rental cars.
Once heading to Kalamazoo, MI late at night. I apparently drive through a town and I had no idea. I was in Michigan, with Ohio plates, with an Oregon license and I told him I was driving from Chicago, Illinois. I think he let me go because he was completely and entirely confused.
The other time, I was driving through Goldendale, WA heading to Portland from a job site. I was in a bit of a rush and I didn’t pay attention to the speed limit change through Goldendale. I got pulled over going 8 over the limit. It was like… $120 ticket. I was pissed, and kept “speeding” after I got pulled over, thinking I was going to ‘earn’ my ticket.
Other than that, I’ve been pulled over for expired tags three times in two days, and had one ticket for a “failure to stop” – which I effectively stopped when I ran into someone in the intersection. The judge waived the ticket because I took pictures of an oversized jacked-up pickup truck that was parked on front of the sign, and deteriorated painted stop lines on the road. The next week after that court, the stop lines was repainted.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-L-I-K-E-A-B-O-O-B-J-O-B"
Only time I've gotten nailed for a ticket
Was “entering a restricted traffic area without a permit” in Florence, Italy. The ticket arrived 6 months after the fact and looked fake. Paid the 80 euro fine just to get Hertz to stop calling me about it.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I got pulled over for going the wrong way down a one-way street with (yes Daisy) a suspended license. I was trying to save up the money to pay my old tickets off (which is why my license was suspended) but my friend needed a ride to work so he wouldn’t be late. The cop felt so bad for me he just let us go with a “you know I could impound your car right now, don’t you?”
I’d buy that cop a steak dinner right now if I could.

Hey, I'm not judging
I consider it a major lesson learned that it is so freaking easy to get your license suspended. Who knew?? Now, driving the wrong way down a one way street…that’s a bonehead move for sure.
Absurdity is my favorite.
I got nailed passing someone at 73 in a 60 mph zone south of Olympia in Washington. It was one of those divided highway areas where the patrol was hanging out in the middle behind a clump of trees. I also remember the ticket being exceptionally high.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Never speed through that stretch, I know I used to live in Olympia, and used to drive to Portland every two weeks.
It’s tempting but they sit there and wait for you. They know you have been stuck in two lane traffic for the last 50 miles and sit there where it turns into four lanes, and just pick them off one by one.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
One other time driving through that same stretch (observing the speed limit) we saw four patrol cars, about a half mile apart, each with a car pulled over. It looked like they were just leapfrogging each other pulling over speeders. As a Souther Californian, born, raised, and taught to drive, it KILLED me to go the speed limit on a relatively open highway, but I grit my teeth and did it for the sake of my wallet.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Only two tickets in my life....
First was when I was driving to Auburn from Birmingham and got pulled over for going too fast down a hill. No kldding, the first thing he asked for when I told him I was going to the LSU-Auburn game was my ticket, not my license or rental car information, but the freaking ticket to the game.
Unfortunately I was buying the ticket from the CEO’s daughter who went to Auburn so I didn’t have it with me. Pretty sure I wouldn’t have gotten a ticket if I had it in hand.
Second was going 62 through the Terwiliger Curves last week……I really wanted to actually earn my first ticket in the state of Oregon.

Nah.
I’ve seen enough cars and especially semi-truck/trailers on their sides in the curves that I think 50 is a reasonable precaution.

Jordan Valley, on US95 in very eastern Oregon
between Winnemucca and Idaho. This one is of national repute. In particular,coming downhill into town westbound, the limit drops from 55 to 25 in a matter of a couple of blocks for no apparent reason. The city cop with the radar gun sits near the 25 sign and nails you for going 27.
It’s so remote they no nobody’s going to bother showing up to pay the ticket.
Verbing weirds language.
I’ve never been stopped for speeding (knock on wood!) I’m pretty careful but I also drive late at night when coming home from gigs, so it’s a high-risk time if you’re going even a little fast.
Maybe you grizzeled vets can enlighten me: what’s proper etiquette when getting stopped for going too fast? Do you compliment the officers shoes? Tell them you’re rushing your invisible wife to the hospital to deliver a ghost baby? Own up to it and apologize for going too fast? What’s the best way to get out of there without a NCAA Infraction speeding ticket?

Often cars driving down the freeway are pulling ramps behind them so if you speed way up you can zip right up this ramp – the preferred method being your two right tires on, and two left tires off, thereby flipping your car conveniently onto it’s roof.

Oh, and to answer:
“No excuses, officer.” They HATE hearing excuses. The fact that you’re “late for an appointment” means nothing to them. Some people try the “my speedometer must be bad” trick, to which the officer will reply that if your mechanic can certify that your speedo is malfunctioning, the judge MIGHT throw out the ticket, but until then you get the ticket anyway.

“I just changed my tires” is another one they’ve heard a few times.
It’s hard to justify the speedo being off when you’ve been blowing by traffic right and left. I guess you could subpoena all the other drivers and have them prove their speedos are accurate. Yeah, that’ll work.

That won’t work. I argued with a cop in court that his radar gun was off and he brought in documentation on when and how it was calibrated and the judge asked if I had proof that I wasn’t speeding.

Bend over and take it
Having received over 8 speeding tickets in my life (don’t ask) I can tell you the only one I ever got out of (should have been 9) was because when the officer was looking up my info he got an emergency call and had to let me go (and that was probably my worst offense 70 in a 35).
No matter if I’ve fought it in court (which in your first couple of tickets the judge may drop the fine or you can get lucky and the cop doesn’t show up) or if I’ve argued the golden rule of driving (speed and flow of traffic) it doesn’t matter. You’re getting the ticket, and you’re paying the fine.

It feels like every day I try to stay around 55-60 on I-205 and everyone is just blowing past me, or getting really annoyed with me for not staying in the slow lane. But if I hit 65+ to try and keep up I’m always worried that I’ll be the one who gets nailed.

Tried that in WA
Going from Seattle to Portland.
State Policeman said I was leading traffic not following it.
The only time I ever got a ticket for going less than +10
was back in ‘79. I was driving my tiny Dodge Colt on the coast somewhere north of Newport. This was at the height of Gas Crisis #2 and they’d announced strict enforcement of speed limit laws.
There were two giant Pontiac Grand Am police interceptor models cruising southbound. I was heading north doing 58mph. The cop in front pointed at me as he drove by. The cop behind him pulled a uey, floored it, chased me down and pulled me over. Wrote me a “fuel conservation violation”. I was tempted to ask him how much gas he wasted chasing me down for going 58 in a 55, at which my economy was probably 42.3mpg instead of 42.7, or if it made sense using two early 70s police cruisers that might have been lucky to see the good side of 15mpg to catch us scofflaws. I’m a pussy, so I just said “Yes, sir” (plus, I was only 22).
Verbing weirds language.
HWY 99 near Dundee IS THE WORST EVER!
There’s a stretch, near Dundee, that goes from 55 MPH to 45 MPH to 25 MPH. I saw a sherriff sitting in a brown Crown Victoria and made sure I was going 25 MPH before I came to the sign He cited me for going 37 after I passed him. I fought the ticket.
As it turns out, the limit is 40 MPH in the opposite direction! At the distance the officer testified he clocked me at, the dispersion of the radar (one foot laterally for every 4 feet the beam travels forward), was actually WIDER THAN THE ROAD. Therefore, there was no way the officer could be certain the speed which displayed on the readout was mine and not a car travelling in the opposite direction. The judge didn’t give a damn. They wanted my money. The biggest mistake I made in the three years I lived in Oregon after graduation was not changing my California plates.

One thing you CAN do is check the state speed order for that stretch.
State speed orders supersede local ones. If they have posted a 25MPH sign and the state speed order is 40, you can get the ticket dropped.

Officers in Oregon are (or at least) allowed on can amend tickets in court.
I got a ticket on Hillyard at about 15th or 16th. The citing officer made THREE mistakes on the ticket:
1. He wrote the speed limit (34 MPH in a 35 MPH zone instead of 34MPH in a 25 MPH zone);
2. He wrote my address as being in California (where the car was registered and plated ) when the address on my license was in Oregon; and
3. He described my car as red. In reality, it was maroon.
The officer was really red-faced with embarassment, but the judge let him fix all the mistakes and the ticket stayed. That kind of crap (with the possible exception of writing the wrong state for my address) would be thrown out in California.

I got a ticket when I got lost on OSU’s campus (I was there for a water polo game). I was trying to find my way back out, and I made a right turn down a narrow alley somewhere by the pool. Halfway down the alley, a car turns toward me. It happened to be a campus officer who turned on his lights. As it turned out, I was going the wrong way down a one-way alley. I ignored the ticket until my parents called one day and asked why the heck they were being charged $50 by Oregon State.

I was headed to my place in Newport (was living in an apt there for a while until wife could get the Eugene house sold and join me). When I got there my wife called from Eugene. Told me she’d gotten a call from a police officer who said I could go ahead and tear up that ticket because I couldn’t appear on a Sunday and WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WHAT ARE YOU DOING SPEEDING etc.

the 95 through Beatty is just as bad (Reno to Vegas)
Last time going through they gave me a ticket for doing 34 in a 30. They figure when the F are you ever going to come to Beatty to dispute the ticket so they almost always have someone pulled over.
I know the 395 from trip to Mammoth and it is a ugly strip of speed traps.

Yep, I got a ticket outside of Olancha two years ago, although I hadn’t yet gotten to the speed trap. I was going 80 in a 65 (there was absolutely no one on the road that day). The cop knocked it down to 75 for me, but still… The 395 is brutal for tickets, especially in the last couple years.

did you guys see this update from Moseley?
UPDATE (1 p.m.): Following up on this report, we’ve found that Harris’ license was suspended due a citation for being in a minor in possession of alcohol in December 2009, a charge he was found guilty of the following January when he failed to resolve it in Eugene Municipal Court.
Also in January 2010, Harris was cited for speeding, driving without a license and driving while uninsured. He was also declared guilty of those charges a month later when he again failed to answer them in court.
For those who wondered why coaches seemed so hesitant in the fall of 2010 to grant him a starting spot, despite his obvious talents, those incidents may provide some context.

So i'm rewatching the National Championship on ESPN3 on my Xbox, and I dont think I've ever seen this mentioned.
But on the Cliff interception that wasn’t counted (around the beginning of the second quarter,) they say he is down without possession and therefore the its an incomplete pass. The only thing down is his forearm. Later in the game, on the famed Michael Dyer run, his forearm hits the ground and they say he isnt down.
My question is, what is the NCAA rule on this? Does a forearm count as being down, or not?

I believe the forearm is considered down
On the Harris INT, they say he didn’t control the ball all the way through the catch (meaning when he did hit the ground he bobbled it). On Dyer, I never saw his forearm hit the ground I thought his hand went down but not his arm (could be wrong).

The car was rented by a University employee, but
So, I rented the car for my own purposes on Friday. Cliff Harris and his licensed friend, who showed me his license, asked to borrow it and paid me the full amount in cash that I paid for the rental," said the woman, who agreed to speak to KEZI, on condition of anonymity.

The UO would argue
No extra benefit since he paid for the cost it, or something.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It might be
But if he really did pay up front for the full cost of it it makes him particularly stupid (since he was in effect using it to get around not having a real license) it might be okay.

Yeah, its a dodge
But stupidity not necessarily=violation.

Beyond particularly stupid.
If he’d been in an accident, the liability would be off the charts. Even if she said “Yeah, I’m renting it for a friend who’s under 25 and has a suspended license.”

Oh, I see sir, no problem. How about a free upgrade to this Ferrari, which has limited break fluid?

There are two different values that I can see that are in discussion here:
1. The value of the rental car that the UofO employee paid.
2. The value of the rental car that someone under 25 would be required to pay.
1 could be potentially bad for NCAA violations.
2 could be potentially bad because the car company wouldn’t have gained those expenses, but the UofO employee would.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-L-I-K-E-A-B-O-O-B-J-O-B"
Bad for the employee
Since this constitutes breach of contract.

In all seriousness, yes it’s probably a minor violation known as an “exclusive benefit” which is when someone gets a benefit/deal that they wouldn’t have gotten without their athletic standing. It’s not something major, so no long term effects besides a couple days of annoying publicity.

Kyle Busch. NASCAR driver caught doing pretty much the same as Harris, but with a license.
They once showed a clip of the Oregon offense to the French. The French decided to surrender, just to be on the safe side.

Fastest I have driven
Was in an 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, I am not sure how fast it was, but in that car 0 mph is at 9 o’clock and 85 mph is at 3 o’clock, I had it pointing at reverse where the needle stopped and I was still accelerating. Reverse is at about 6:30, so about 125+? I made it the 37 miles from the Columbia River at Portland to Kalama WA (mile post 37) in just under 20 minutes.
I have never done that again, it was stupid and crazy, but I got away with it.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
My friend owns his dad's old Cutlass. How the hell did you get that piece of shit do even go 37 miles in any period of time?
Welcome to the working week. I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you.
It wasn't a piece of shit
It had a 350 rocket 4 barrel carbs, those were fast cars, I could never figure out why the speedometer only went to 85.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
Because the government decreed it.
Seriously. You could go over 85, you just had no idea how fast you were going.
They had their reasons. They always do.

Also the Cutlass Supreme (like many American Cars--See the Mustang)
Became a pale comparison of it’s former muscle car glory in the early 80’s, it’s possible that your friend’s car is one of those. I think they were actually putting 4 cylinder engines in them at one point.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
No, you could still get a 350 V8 in a '77 Cutlass.
It was smogged within an inch of its life and not much fun to drive, but the car was so heavy nobody in their right mind would own one with a 6, never mind a 4.
Verbing weirds language.
On a road trip after graduating high school, we were in Utah and wound up getting lost trying to get to Park City. So we were in the middle of Wyoming in an ’87 Jeep Cherokee going down a plateau. I think we were doing 110 or so. I opened the window and stuck my arm out. Two bugs hit my arm and left welts.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I'm happy to see the lighthearted comments from all ....
but this could very well lead to CH’s suspension from game #1 of the season. In fact, if :
1) his license is suspended and
2) he was driving a vehicle with other Ducks as passengers and
3) that vehicle was indeed clocked by OSP @ 118 MPH and,
4) that vehicle was not his, but a car rented by a University employee and in turn sub-rented? to CH;
I don’t see that CK has a choice. This is bad behavior. And yes, I have more speeding tickets than probably any poster here. And yes, I’ve had my license suspended (thanks to my plethora of tickets). But here’s the key: CH is an All American for CK’s team. Coach almost is forced to make an example out of Harris. Like it or not, he can’t do that by suspending Harris for the 3rd game of the season (Mo State)… that won’t make any sense. Either he suspends CH for the first game or he doesn’t. And if he doesn’t, he will have lost a terribly important opportunity to again prove to the players that NO ONE is bigger than the team.
It sucks that Kelly has to again make this point (was not a certain QB’s exit from the 2010 team enough??)
I love Cliff Harris the player. He’s the most exciting guy on the defensive side I’ve EVER seen in an Oregon uniform. But I don’t see him taking the field against LSU. (and, btw, who was the bimbo who rented the car and then, as she says, approached by CH afterwords and when he asked her if he could borrow her car, she said ‘yes, but you have to pay for it’ …. I hope to hell she can show with something that he did indeed pay for it. Because there is NO ONE outside of Eugene who will believe that story unless it is backed up with some solid proof. I hope to God that woman doesn’t work for the Athletic Dept….
And if he doesn’t, he will have lost a terribly important opportunity to again prove to the players that NO ONE is bigger than the team.
In he unjustly suspends Harris, then he’ll be proving the exact opposite. This isn’t about proving a point or making an example of anyone. It’s about being just and fair. Seems that some Duck fans are losing perspective of that fact because they don’t want to see criticism (whether fair or not) from media or opposing fanbases.
