That my favorite player of last year, Jeff Maehl signed with the Texans.

Schroeder frustrates me.

He’s definitely got some talent as a writer, but it just seems like he’s too lazy to come up with an original thought. So he regurgitates the same old demands for transparency and accountability over and over.

We get it, George. You want answers. Maybe you should try digging them up for yourself instead of childishly whining about how no one will tell you what you want to know.

Good point

the whole Lyles situation broke as a result of actual investigative journalism on the part of Y!Sports. Schroeder and Clown are not investigative journalists and don’t have the balls/smarts/desire to look into things themselves, so they would rather just mope and whine and get all histrionic when they aren’t given exactly what they want.

by OregonNYC on Jul 27, 2011 8:28 AM PDT up reply actions  

Might have to disagree with that assertion

The Lyles interview came about because Lyle’s decided he wanted to talk. He sort of fell into Yahoo’s lap at that point.

George keeps harping on the fact that UO “owes” transparency to its fans and the people of Oregon. They’re being more tight-lipped than they are required to be, yada, yada yada.

I just don’t get why UO owes that to anyone. As a Duck fan, I want them to keep quiet. Don’t do anything stupid, work with the NCAA, get things resolved, and then announce everything.

True, the Vest got canned for hiding things from his compliance dept and the NCAA

not for screwing with the media. As long as Chip and the AD are talking to the NCAA all they know the less they tell the media the better. If the media can uncover information themselves, like Y!sports does, then go for it, but they wont and shouldn’t get anything handed to them while we are working with the NCAA.

He doesn't seem to get that the NCAA has told the Ducks to STFU about it.

Or more likely, he doesn’t care. He gets to have his cake and eat it too: He gets to pontificate and whine and be self-righteous and the Ducks have to sit there and take it.

He made a point that the NCAA has put a gag order on the Ducks, but they are being more tight-lipped than required by that gag order. That may or may not be true, I have no idea. I still don’t get his point.

That's the same game, isn't it?

It still allows him to get up on his high horse and the Ducks still essentially have to take it. Discussing the parameters of the gag order one would think is forbidden by the gag order. Costs Georgie nothing.

"It was such a shock," the USC coach said. "Here was a kid that had been ’SC for so long. He was kind of a leader on the official visit. Every time we saw him he was wearing ’SC gear. This wasn’t one of those guys we ever thought was wavering at all. It was probably our strangest story in recruiting."
Kiffin said that if he and his staff had ranked their recruits based on which commitment they felt strongest about, Thomas "would have been No. 1."

The point is, we’re the only truly recognizable team that wears green. The nature of grass is to be green. Of course we’re going to be the example.

Totally agree that Boise has no competitive advantage

And I don’t think it’s all that different than our green-on-green…but the picture they used to demonstrate that… Really? Those are hardly green. Our newer jerseys are more green (and a closer green to the field) than those ever were. http://media.oregonlive.com/oregonian/photo/8935521-large.jpg

I'm betting it has to do with the reflectivity of the field

You know how when you pick out paint colors at the store, the back of the paint chips list the reflective properties of that color and finish?

That blue turf just seems to glare when you see it. Too damn shiny (as if the actual color weren’t bad enough).

One of them was of #81 of the “Oregon U. Ducks” in “Ugene, OR.” He also drew players from the “S. California Trogens”, “California U. Golden Bears”, and the UCLA Bruins.

So awesome.

And yet, after watching the press conference, only they (and the lady reporter who had a hilarious question) were the ones to ask Lyles related questions. The way they say it, it’s almost as if they have no control over what questions they actually ask. They do realize that they have the ability to make up their own questions, right?

As Wilner points out

David Rone was a key player in getting the ESPN and Fox deal done for the P12, and in May he was made president of TWC Sports. Plus with the inventory and selection of games the P12 retained, it would be real easy for them to schedule games for the northwest and then strong arm a partner to carry the channel up here. Plus, I’m not ruling out that the online presence is the prominent part of this deal, so we may have to get used to watching games on our computer sooner rather than later.

Also

don’t underestimate the ability for the PTN to lower it’s subscription fees to cable and satellite providers to get them to add the channel. The P12 doesn’t need the money up front, but instead needs the exposure for its PTN. We’ve got plenty of money from the P12 media deal. Plus, once everyone is carrying the PTN, we can slowly raise fees later to add more revenue.

I’m most interested to see what the online distribution will be.

If you haven't done it yet

I suggest that you invest in a computer that you can hook up to your flat screen. I bought a new computer, but my old computer was still very good, so I bought a new video card for it that has an HDMI out port so that I can directly hook it to my TV and then watch any sports that I’d normally watch on my 27" computer screen on my 46" Toshiba instead. Well worth it for a couple hundred bucks for a video card if you already have a computer you can hook up to your TV. (HDMI a must – the computer hook up on most flat screens is a crappy connection that doesn’t do justice to video quality).

The great thing about the Zino is that it’s only 8″×8″×4″ but it’s still a full-on CPU.

TV Games

During the basketball season my room mate and I watched all the Blazers games, and our favorite game was “Why Rudy Fernandez was a star in Spain.” Every bad play had to be explained with Spanish basketball rules:
In Spain free throws are worth three points.
You get one point for trying.
There are no fouls in Spain because there is no defense.

It was a good game, but with no more Rudy or Basketball there’s nothing to watch but “Making of the Album: washed up 80’s bands” While fighting over the remote and debating between SportsCenter or some old Bon Jovi concert footage, I came up with the idea of combining the two. The name of the game is pretty simple: Pair an athlete (preferably a washed up or amusing one) with a band for a CMT Crossroads style concert. So far my favorites are:
Barry Bonds Jovi.

But the P12 Network channel here will be on Comcast.

So 6 on one side, half dozen on the other as far as those games go.

The Pac-12 is in negotiations with various dish companies. I’m hopeful it’ll all be sorted out by the time the network launches.

One can only hope.

Comcast has a lock on the Blazers and Ducks (when not shown regionally or nationally). I’m effing sick of it and their usurious rates.

I’m single with a good job – so I pretend I don’t notice that my bill is over 225 bucks a month. Doh – I noticed.

5 years ago the same package that now costs $200/month cost $110/month.

Oh, they throw in the completely unused home phone service. Who uses landlines at home anymore?

That's the killer right there

I have Frontier Fios (formerly Verizon) here in Washington County. I actually preferred Comcast’s content, but Verizon gave me a great deal and allowed me to just get Fios internet and TV. So far, their rates haven’t skyrocketed yet, as predicted. But how long they can hold out against Comcast, we’ll have to see.

I just hope there will be either a web-only provider or satellite deal by next year.

I’ll hold off on switching this year I guess. Shizzle.

I have

Internet

All channels. To get the expanded sports package you had to get HBO/Showtime and about another bazillion channels I never watch. Plus I have 3 rooms with boxes in them and that alone is extra as well.

difference is

Comcast doesn’t own the rights to the P12 Network.

People see an analogy to the Blazer thing and freak out, but the difference is the Pac-12 wants the distribution

The operative word is "Intend"

I imagine they’ll have greater success with that than CSN because it will appeal to a much greater/national audience, not just blazer fans.

They have no interest in keeping the channel out of satellite providers

Whereas Comcast has a competitive interest in keeping an advantage over satellite TV by being the only option in Portland to get Blazer games.

The Pac-12 wants as wide an audience as possible, restricting access does nothing.

by skywaker9 on Jul 27, 2011 5:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Difference is control

See what I said above, Comcast doesn’t control jack when it comes to who is airing the channel, the Pac-12 does. The Pac-12 wants as many people able to watch as possible.

And geographical reach is larger

Instead of just little old Portland and their small market team, this is the west coast and 12 hugely popular teams.

Plus, the Pac gets to negotiate this deal and right now it’s not about the money, so the subscription fees should be relatively small

Doesn't Blazer Broadcasting Inc own the "rights" to the broadcasts themselves.

They just have an exclusive agreement for distribution with Comcast, if I’m mistaken?

Comcast has the distribution rights

The Blazers have no power to force Comcast to offer the games to other cable systems.

Gregg Doyel gets the stupid award of the day

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/15362194/those-closest-to-coaches-last-to-know-they-need-to-be-fired

Oregon’s Chip Kelly. Has to be fired.

Whether he was the one who did it, was the one who approved it, or simply was the one who allowed it from negligence, Kelly’s football program at Oregon wrote a check for $25,000 to a bogus scout in Texas — then landed that scout’s best player, running back Lache Seastrunk. The scout sent a batch of recruiting film to Oregon to justify his fee, but the film was useless — old film of players who in some cases were already playing at other colleges.

Chip Kelly hasn’t sufficiently explained how that happened, because he can’t sufficiently explain how that happened. There is no explanation, beyond the fact that he did something — or approved of something, or allowed something from negligence — that must be penalized by his termination.
