Quack Fix: Darron Thomas is ready for football, should Chip Kelly talk to the media?

PrintSorry the quack's a bit late today. Here's what's happening in the world of Duck:
- We're not the only ones counting down the days until the LSU game. Darron Thomas is as well, and can't wait for fall camp, which starts one month from yesterday. Thomas' cousin Russell Shepard is one of LSU's most explosive players, and he and Thomas have already been bantering. As Thomas said, "It’s no New Mexico," and he and his team have been working hard so far this summer. Thomas has taken over the leadership role, and has been leading his team on drills before the start of fall camp. He's been working in 7 on 7's, as well as working in smaller groups with Oregon's new receivers. While the group may not be experienced, Thomas said that now the Ducks have "real speed."
- Should Chip Kelly talk to the media before Pac-12 Media Day, set for June 26th? Someone says yes! You'll never guess who. Canzano's article sparked a lively discussion on twitter between Tony DiFrancisco, Matt Prehm, Rob Moseley, and Bryan D Fischer. And, obviously, Chip Kelly should not be talking to the media anytime soon. Wait until the NCAA investigation is over, guys.
- According to the Oregonian, some of Oregon's trustees are "concerned" about the Will Lyles situation. The headline used to read "unsettled," but it was changed, presumably after the editor bothered to actually read what the trustees had to say.
- Oregon recruit Oshay Dunmore is one of the Ducks top commits so far, and Duck Territory has an update on him. Apparently, he's still growing, and hopes to be 6'4" 210 by fall. Also, he's doing his best for the Ducks on the recruiting trail.
- Cal Golden Blogs has been doing some extensive coverage on last year's Oregon/Cal matchup. This time, HydroTech has a post on the chess game between Chip Kelly and Cal DC Clancy Pendergast.
- In a Pac-12 preview, Ted Miller says Oregon is in "good shape" at defensive tackle. While that's a fair preseason assessment, I think this unit will end up being a huge strength for the defense.
- In more Pac-12 previews, SBNation's Bill Connelly has his Stanford preview. Stanford should be set on offense with Luck, but their defense didn't get the attention it deserved last season. If they can keep up their same pace, they should be competing for a national title. But let's always remember the caveat, it's tough to project coaching changes.
You know the drills, leave your quack, comments, and complaints about Canzano below. GO DUCKS!

You tricked me...
Or perhaps I tricked myself. I’m one for not reading an entire paragraph before clicking a link and I gave the Clown an extra page view by clicking,
Someone says yes!
I quickly closed it, but I’m sure they caught me there!
Tradition never changes. Champions do.
So there has been a bunch of chatter from the different pay boards the last couple days talking about how Oregon is pretty much in the clear
It is message board talk, but the posters relaying the information are known to be reliable and have close connections to the AD
I assume you're not talking about ESPNs, O-lives and Register Guards.
Where we’ve already gotten the death penalty, and forfeited all of our games since 1993.
this makes me feel better
but nothing against the message boards but if it’s on DSA and educk i’m not really trusting it
Off-topic, but this is weird/awesome.

I was feeling down about the Timbers losing to Seattle yesterday
Until I remembered that as of today its been 2881 days since UW last beat Oregon in football.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The Timbers are just not a good team this year...
They have had their moments but just watching the game yesterday, it was pretty obvious that Seattle was the better team.
Yup
It was so much fun to go too. Best atmosphere I’ve been in outside of Autzen.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Vancouver
If you can get tix, they are all sold out.
Vancouver is our second biggest rival behind Seattle. All the games are fun though.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Vancouver is the best bet if you want to get a great atmosphere
Its all good but VAN/SEA are special.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Totally agree, but really any game where you can get in or as near to section 107 you’ll have a blast.
Just brush up on your chants!
Hoover: They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal!
I will say, it's the only sport I've ever seen where the GA tickets are the most expensive.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
Try the Bleachers at Wrigley for a "Premium" Game nowadays
$72 for a bleacher ticket. The Club seats are just about the only thing more expensive. Still a blast to go to, but wait for the Silver or Bronze games, along with $3 beer nights.
They hand out chant sheets at the match
But they’re pretty simple and you’ll pick them up easily.
Also you need to show up at least 45 minutes early to get the full experience.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Caught the game on ESPN while flipping
Not a soccer guy, but I was impressed.
Any crowd that bases their chants on old songs by the Sex Pistols is OK in my book.

The last time Oregon lost to the huskies,
- George W. Bush was still President… in his 1st term.
- The Governator had not yet done any Governating.
- Everyone was freaked out about SARS.
- Apple just released a crazy new product called “iTunes.”
- “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions” crammed a whole lot of suck into just one year. Though still less suck than the Washington huskies would display over the next seven years.

Probably
but you’ve got to make some grand gesture on the way out the door. If you just try to slink away, we’ll probably be so busy obsessing about Lyles that won’t notice you are missing for about a month. This happened to me once in Macy’s shoe department. Lost my kids for a full 10 minutes, which I’m sure I don’t have to tell you were the longest of my life.

That's the worst of it
I didn’t even get the shoes, because, if you’ve ever been in Macy’s women’s shoe department you’ll know that they have the worst retail customer service on the entire planet. Seriously, the only thing that could be worse is if upon entering the department, they walk up to you and punch you in the face. So no, I had to abandon giving the sales girl beseeching dirty looks in an attempt to get a size 7.5, so I could go search the store for my heathens. Bottom line: It’s not easy being Daisy.

I could see a bowl ban doing damage.
Especially if it’s for more than one year. We’ll be fine as long as we’re in the hunt for various championships. Being ineligible and getting knocked off the BCS/NCG radar for a couple years would have a much bigger impact on us than it would for USC or tOSU.
And if its serious enough to get a bowl ban, there’s a higher chance that Chip would be gone, though I can’t see UO dumping Chip unless they absolutely have to.

After the total mess Richrod left Michigan in, not one year later, and they are already picking off OSU’s top recruits. We aren’t quite at that level yet, but it does seem to suggest that short of major sanctions, Oregon will be fine as long as it has Phil Knight’s money(for facilities, of course).

6. And one really goofy take …: As odd as it sounds, the Oregon football story dove-tailed in my head with the Casey Anthony verdict, a case I didn’t follow closely at all but became aware of recently due to the outrage over the jury’s decision. And it struck me: Oregon football fans are like the Casey Anthony jury. Everybody else looks at those situations — the Ducks’ dealings with Lyles, the disappearance of Anthony’s child — and sees an air-tight instance of malfeasance. But it’s not what you think, it’s what you can prove. Many Oregon football fans don’t see a slam-dunk case of wrong-doing by the Ducks in their dealings with Lyles, just as the Anthony jury didn’t see enough evidence to convict, despite the fact that, in each case, the prevailing public opinion went the other way.
I’ve had the same thought (no, really), but I didn’t want to sound like a totally insensitive dickhead for making the comparison.

Actually, you (more than kind of) are.

No, I just worded it poorly.
I was, and still am concerned about how it would appear if an 18 year old male was making those kinds of comparisons. That’s why I didn’t make them. Someone like Moseley making them, there’s less of a chance people spout off on him for it.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
Not sure if insensitive dickhead?
He was using current (and shocking) events to show different examples of confirmation bias (seeking out information-even if it is false-which conforms to held beliefs). The brain does not like discord. Emboldened by the reaffirmation of our own beliefs, we are less likely to keep an open mind and take in new information (which may prove contradictory). Think of the stereotype of the stubborn, crotchety old man.

Well, my comparison of the two was more of media bias/slant
When all that’s been heard of a major case is the prosecution’s “theory and evidence” (The state of florida/Lyles+others) and the defense (Anthony’s team/Oregon) is staying quiet, many perceive that as guilt and hop on the bandwagon and hound and crucify the accused (what I will call Nancy Grace syndrome), and become so attached to that verdict, that if the opposite happens, they shit themselves.

Colt Lyerla investigation???
Over on that rag, Oregonlive, there were hints that there is or will be an investigation of the recruitment of Colt Lyerla. Has anybody heard anything about this? The last thing we need is more questions being asked. Anyone hear anything?
Umm... is it even mentioned by one of their "reporters"
or is this just baver and fuskie fans throwing shit at the wall?
It was definitely by a pussy or puppy honk,
but they came across as sure. Said something will break in next week or two. I don’t know, maybe I’m just a little edgy right now, but it got my attention. Just curious if anyone else has heard anything.

I remember fuskie honks coming across as sure
that they were going to win a game in 2008, too.

No mention of Lyles.
Actually the original post had been deleted and was getting info from the replies. Mention of some other Oregon booster. Don’t think the meant PK, but who knows. Again, just asking around. Seemed odd the original had been deleted.

Stipends promised to Lyerla???
Some POS who calls himself jabbathehut over at Oregonlive is claiming that Colt was promised ‘stipends’ to commit to Oregon. Uh oh, hopefully this is just some jackhole blowing more smoke.
I heard it's worse than that...
I have it on good authority that Oregon promised the kid a full college scholarship.
We’re screwed.
I hope your comment is like
“Oh, it’s no big issue, so I’ll laugh about it” as opposed to the,
“You have cancer and 6 months to live”, and my only coping technique is to laugh
Breaking news!
The Oregonian reports that numerous Oregon players were offered improper and illegal benefits during the recruiting process. Sources say the Ducks coaches offered to waive all tuition costs and even supply the players with a place to live in exchange for joining the football team. The players were also promised lavish training facilities, lengthy access to some of the most experienced coaches in college football, and the opportunity to practice and play in Autzen Stadium, a private facility owned and operated by the University of Oregon.

You mean these stipends?
Yes, college athletes receive a stipend, which is mandated by the NCAA and is the same for all athletes across the board, whether it be a lacrosse player or a football player. However, for the 2009-2010 school year this stipend only amounted to $22.33 per month for nine months of the year.

I don't know man,
I’m just trying to dig around on Oregonlive (and getting pretty dirty from all the mud) to try and find out what this guy is hinting at. The guy made it sound as if it’s much more ‘sinister’ than that. Apparently if nobody else has got wind of it, it’s probably a bunch of hot air.
There are such beings as "trolls" on teh intarwebs.
They are found in such places as the O-Live forums.

Don't give credence to silly things like this
Shit, I think trading a jersey for a sack of weed likely happens on every football team every year in all conferences. Let’s not perpetuate silliness. There is enough conjecture about the lyles situation, no need to read completely made up stories and worry about them

yep
we cheated to get the recruit who was on our own backyard.

Well, here's what I do know
Last summer I had a summer job at a golf course near Hill Hi and I worked with a kid who went to school with Colt and knew him pretty well. He intimated that he was surprised how great of an athlete he could be considering the amount of tree he burned. Also, I’m pretty sure he got into a little minor trouble with weed while in high school. One more thing, and not to try to stereotype, but he is from Hawaii. So, when I hear something like this, I think something along the lines of tOSU, except instead of tats, it’s weed. It really doesn’t seem too out of the question.
Not trying hate here OF, but a kid swapping gear for weed is not like tOSU, its like a kid swapping gear for weed. If he did, and if he gets caught then he’ll be suspended or whatever. Really, drug and alcohol abuse is a part of college and why we have student affairs, so climb aboard the Battlestar Chillatica, and relax. No need to keep posting the same concern when so far its based solely on HS gossip.
Hoover: They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal!
The backstory on Colt?
This is from a very reliable source inside the Oregon Live comments section.
He actually isn’t a punk. He is a good kid. What happened is, he was at a minicamp and he saw Chip Kelly and Willie Lyles stuff a recruits pockets with cash until he died. He did the right thing and cooperated with the NCAA and now they’re investigating Kelly and Lyes for excessive overpayment for a football recruit. As a result of his cooperation, Lyles said he would rate Colt’s entire family as 1-star long snappers. The rating is credible and they truly fear for their scholarships. As a result, he shotup to Oregon Live and decided to post there to explain the threat. That is why he was crying when he clicked the comment button. He was the kid in the class that was actively recruiting other bloggers to come post on Oregon Live. He did us a tremendous favor by not linking to John Canzano and recruiting kids to spam the forums up to a 30-post limit.
The kid is heartbroken.

If I posted all of the rumors/dirt about players that I heard as a freshman,
It would have been quite an extensive list of mostly BS. I wouldnt worry too much about some sort of weed for play controversy. I mean, that last thing you would want in a player is for them to be high all of the time.

Four former Pac-12 football players were awarded the Tom Hansen Conference Medal, which is given annually to each member institution’s outstanding senior male and female student-athlete based on“utter failure to update business models, stubborn adherence to obsolete tradition at the expense of bottom lines and national exposure, and tolerance for horrendous officiating”“the exhibition of the greatest combination of performance and achievement in scholarship, athletics and leadership.”

I use to really, really like CC, and I would love to like them again. The irony, I liked them more when they were under investigation and winning the Pac-10 every year. But trying to talk or reason there is just too frustrating.
