Quack Fix: Early Pac-12 Network details announced, will Oregon and Stanford fall?

PrintAnother day, and Larry Scott kicks some more ass.
- Yesterday at Pac-12 media day in New York, Larry Scott announced the early details of the new Pac-12 Network. It will consistent of one national channel and six regional channels. So far, the conference has signed the cable operators Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cox and BrightHouse to carry the networks, but the conference expects to add satellite and telephone carriers as well. Inside the Pac-12 territories, the channels will be included in basic or digital basic packages, while outside of that area, it will be part of the usual sports tiers, which cost an extra fee.
- Jon Wilner has a lot of extra details on the network and various partnerships. Before people start worrying about whether or not they'll be able to get this network (in a year, no less), Wilner makes a very good point. This move by Scott was not money-making. He is charting a course for the network that does not take as high of money, but guarantees a whole lot of exposure. He's traded money for distribution, and I'd imagine there will be a whole lot more distribution once he makes deals with all the other carriers out there.
- Can a team other than Stanford or Oregon realistically win the Pac-12 North? I don't think so, but Matt Smith of Fox Sports West thinks that both teams have weaknesses that will open the door to other teams in the division.
- Jeremiah Masoli will get a shot with the San Francisco 49ers. He was interviewed about his shot at the NFL.
- Rachel Bachman is continuing her role as captain obvious. Her latest gem, Oregon tickets are more popular than OSU tickets.
- Lastly, a couple media day interviews. David Paulson talked with Isaac and Suke at 1080AM, and Chip Kelly talked with Jack Arute and Randy Cross on SiriusXM Sports. Chip will also be on a couple ESPN shows this morning.

Wliner, because it’s looks like a typo. It’s a subtle jab. It has elegance.
Baver, because – well… OSU fans came up with it. That’s apparently what they want to be called.
huskey, because I can appreciate not capitalizing that.
I can’t think of anything else that I constantly see on OregonLive, Pure-Orange.net, or anything like that which could be considered clever. I just don’t see it funny, creative, or even effectively disrespectful. It’s elementary playground mud slinging. It isn’t even advanced enough to be considered sophomoric.

It's not that Oregon and Stanford don't have weaknesses
I mean, what college team doesn’t. But to assume one of them won’t win the division also assumes one of the other 4 teams could possibly rise to the occasion and I really can’t see it. Certainly not OSU as he suggests. Maybe Cal. But I don’t think so.
Oregon and Stanford have questions, but Cal, OSU, and Washington have way more questions. The chances of Oregon or Stanford winning the division are much higher than the rest of the teams.

Agreed
The top two teams are far above the rest of the division. The bottom four, however, could finish in just about any order. I tend to think the OSU-UW game in November will determine third place, but it wouldn’t surprise me terribly if it was about determining sixth place, either.
I think even Washington State has an outside shot a bowl

I don’t think that was a bad question, that was the only one that I think was a bit tough to answer. I’m surprised that Kelly said that would be wrong.
I did enjoy when Fowler said, “I know you like speed and tempo coach, but I don’t think you like 118 in a 65.” and Kelly just sort of shook his head in frustration (at Cliff).
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Haha, that was funny.
Chip did sound optimistic about the possibility of Cliff returning if he meets certain goals, although he said that he will not play against LSU with complete certainty.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
That Fox article is worthless.
First of all, OSU is definitely not the surprise team I’d pick to win the division. It’s got to be Cal or UW, and both are still LONG shots.
What a pointless article. Really?!?! Stanford and Oregon have flaws?!?! Oh my god!!
Is it the same flaw like, say, opening your season with a QB who has never started a game (2010)? Or the loss of Ed Dickson? Or a newly-constructed defensive backfield?
Or how about the flaws in 2009? You know – new coach, new coordinators, new RB, new Oline, etc? Funny – those seemed like those were bigger flaws than anything we, or even Stanford, face this year, and both teams had a good time mercilessly plowing through league play the past 2 years.
Even the best teams have flaws. Oregon’s and Stanford’s flaws mean they can lose another game or two. It doesn’t mean the Biebers will rise from the ashes and take the league title from Luck or James. Next please.
This is kinda awesome....

I hate the race to be first versus the race to be right in media today.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

That reminds me of the conversation I had with Bachman
where she straight up admitted that her half-assed piece comparing the Jaqua Center to class A office space in Lake Oswego was rushed out to be first “because the Oregonian paid the fees for the release of information and we had to get the article out before our competition could use it”.
First, not best, or even accurate. It’s a shame.
My parents believed in me.
It's just as frustrating as
the race to be relevant versus the race to be right.
Guys like SbB, Schroeder or Canzano have to be edgy, controversial, or push the lines of sensationalism and factually accurate in order to continue to direct the conversation. If you can go on ESPN as a representative of the journalism community in Oregon and say that UO was paying Lyles $25k as he was ushering Seastrunk to Oregon is an abomination. It’s not even factually accurate and it bugs me to no end.

Did Williford say that? Mullens? He obviously didn’t cite the source by name. Not saying its not true, but this is an example of that “straw man” journalism. He so far hasn’t provided a name….

Crazy.
I also love how some people on his account are portraying him as the victim, the laughing end of some pernicious social experiment. Ha, please.
The he goes on with BS like “I’m not a journalist.” Neither am I, but I’d feel pretty stupid if someone told me I gave bogus infiormation to a friend or my dad, let alone a giant audience of sports fans. Check your facts buddy.
Moseley has a pretty complete transcript of Kelly's interview with Fowler:
[Fowler] then presented to Kelly a hypothetical: What if he were recruiting a player who signed elsewhere, and Kelly discovered that school had a financial arrangement with someone close to the player?
Kelly usually brushes aside hypotheticals, but perhaps the combination of being on camera and in the presence of a trusted personality led him to entertain this one.
“What would I think?” Kelly said. "I would think that that’s not the right thing to do. …
“I understand why everybody looks at the situation,” he continued. “But until you get all the facts — I’ve always been a person (that) no matter what the situation is, let me get all the facts first before I make a decision on how I’m going to react or what I’m going to do.”

2. Cliff Harris and Kiko = Not 100% sure yet.

5. Pac12 = Don’t really care. We come ready to play all games.

I guess!
August 8 should be fun too! I am hoping that Kiko gets his life together, he is a good player, and that Harris takes it like a man and turns this around to something great.
I am really curious to see if Deanthony will get a shot or not… Lache showed some glimpses during spring game, he is fast! but he needs to move down field with more confidence.
The defense looked really good too.

I'm terribly sorry, please bear with me
but I need to talk about shoes for a minute and solicit opinions.
I am getting new gameday shoes. And I can’t decide if I want to go old school green/yellow, or new school anthracite/neon yellow. I have such affection for the green and yellow, but I am leaning towards new school because it is fresh and looks pretty awesome to tell you the truth. I am on the fence and don’t want to have buyers regret. Old or new school? Please vote.

The fact that so many of my Duck clothes

Nice!
We’re on the south side of the stadium, in between the bridge and the Science factory, right along the trail. Often only a couple spots down from the tree that hangs over by the Bicycle caddy, and next to an overhead light that illuminates the trail. We have a map floating around somewhere.
There is usually plenty of snacks, beer, drinks, and food, and we’re start as soon as they let us and we close up 5-15 minutes before kickoff – usually returning to the same spot after the game.

Chip Kelly doesnt' believe in east coast bias
"I think college football fans are very educated and I think they understand what it’s all about. And if for some reason Minnesota went 12-0, then everybody would be on Minnesota’s bandwagon because Minnesota went 12-0….We were on TV a ton last year. But we won. If we go 7-5, we’re not going to be on a ton but we have no one to blame except for ourselves."
http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/23651/chip-kelly-dismisses-east-coast-bias
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
As a former resident of the west coast and current resident of the east
east coast bias is totally real, and not because east coasters think they are better or faster or stronger. It is because west coast games are on absurdly late. Here, there is a Big East, ACC or SEC game on at the 1pm slot, with no competition from other time zones, so of course you watch that. Then there is the slots from 4-8pm where it is a free for all with 4-5 games to choose from. Finally there are late night slots at 10 or 1030 where the west coast finally has no competition. By that time young people are going out and old people are going to bed. The fBSU-Nevada game was over at like 2am, no one on the east coast stayed up for it
Oh yes it is
But I like how Chip handled it.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
There is also much more population density on the east coast. It’s simple business sense. I hate the east coast bias, but if ESPN and other sports media wants to profit, they appeal to the masses. The masses mostly live on the east coast.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
And what is he really supposed to say?
I think he knows there is bias but admitting to it is a sign of weakness for any team. And Chip is right. If you win all your games, especially if you play in a conference like the pac 12, you don’t have to worry about biased stuff (you do but you dont).
There is inherent bias and there is bias with opinions.
A great example would be the national weather. You hear a lot about the New York weather on national media. Any winter storm – it’s huge news. It isn’t just because there are a lot of people in New York, but it’s because… that’s where the media is located. It’s impacting THEM.
It’s a similar thing. People will always have a preference with the SEC and the southeast – even the midwest – over the Pac-12. People watch what they are interested in – which tends to be the local teams. There are exceptions, even in the media, but it’s always going to be an “issue”. So is there a bias? Yeah. But is there an unfair bias of opinions? I don’t think so.

"If Lache Seastrunk is the POTG against LSU, I will formally quit ATQ." - Axemen23 on 6/21/2011
The thing that limits east coast bias a bit with college football
is that the population center of the Northeast has really no good football teams. Nothing on the east coast proper until you get to Georgia is a powerhouse, no NY, DC, Boston teams are anything above regionally decent. Blah, NYC is great, but having Big East football on all the time is really crap, almost as crap as my NBA choice of the nightly Knicks or Nets games…
I think there is a bit of "bias of opinions"
Most people outside the West Coast don’t think Pac-12 football teams play defense. That’s wrong.
They think they’re all passing and finesse. While the Pac generates some of the greatest QB’s and is a ‘quarterbacks’ conference, there some dame fine running games here.
They think the SEC is soooo much faster than the Pac-12. Maybe as a whole, but the gap has been narrowed.

And so the imitating begins!

Though I would assert that not all were due to quarterback play.

Which one?
Moore played great against Oregon in 2009, Luck is Luck and threw for 251 on 20 passes, Pryor played out of his mind and never had another game like he did in that Rose Bowl, and Cam Newton was the Heisman trophy winner.
I know there were other factors in the losses, but if any one of these QBs didn’t have a great game can you see that team beating Oregon then?

It wasn't a Heisman performance, is what I mean.
He had his own troubles. Numbers don’t always tell the tale and we all know that. A lost fumble is one thing; a lost fumble at the worst possible time is another. One interception and another he got back (wrongly). He put up some numbers, but they didn’t translate into many points and it wasn’t pretty to watch.

Dismissing? Not dismissing them.
Simply stating that stats alone don’t always describe a good performance. And I believe if looked at objectively, his NCG performance wouldn’t have stood out as a net plus if the trophy were awarded AFTER the bowl season. Wouldn’t have HURT his chances but I doubt many voters would have been moved by the performance to vote FOR him if they weren’t already. IOW if that game had happened in the middle of the season, nobody would have pointed at that game and said “THAT’S the game that made him the man to beat for the Heisman!”

So, yes, statistically speaking he had a mediocre game, maybe a decent game. But from what I saw on the field, he was mediocre at BEST. That’s my opinion.

If par is considered his aveages
then he had an above average passing game (265:219), and below average rushing game (113:64) for his stats. If par is average for college QB last season, I’d say he was probably above average. If par is the average QB playing the Ducks, he had a way above average game.

It’s not even in the bottom half of his total offense production for the season. He had games of 206, 271, 234, 328, 303, 254, 299, 255. All with lower production. Cam wasn’t the monster yard producer that some made him out to be.
I think what frustrates me the most is if you told anyone before the game that Auburn was going to score 22 points, you’d thought Oregon walked away with that game.

Did you feel at the end that we had been beat by a good performance by the Heisman winner?
I didn’t at all, I felt we got beat by a stellar defensive effort by the opponent. Considering the games I saw Cam play through the season, I was underwhelmed. I saw a guy get battered, frustrated, out of sync, and doing the best he could. Other than a couple of flashes, I can’t say he was ever really in control of the game at all. So maybe what you’re saying is that his “par” wasn’t that great to begin with, and he essentially reached what wasn’t a high bar to begin with?

Not necessarily
To some extent I think his “par” wasn’t has high as a lot of people made it out to be. He was an accurate thrower, a huge body, and incredibly efficient on the field. I think we saw a lot of that in the NCG. Was it his best game of the year? Not at all, but from a statistical standpoint, it wasn’t even close to his worse, and as I said before he was above average passing and a little below average running.
Now credit a lot of that to Oregon’s game plan. Which is really where I’m coming from. From an opposing QB standpoint, he had one of the better games of ALL the QBs that Oregon saw that year. Luck was rattled in the 2nd half, Barkley was solid, but was way too one dimensional. Foles folded, Locker chose not to get embarrassed. Cam was solid beginning to end. Did he make mistakes? Sure, but he drove his team down the field for the winning field, injured. He passed for almost 60%. Threw their only 2 TDs. Definitely not “sub-par” according to who Oregon faced.

Maybe.
I give huge props to our D, for sure. But I expected more from a Heisman winner as hyped as he was. He really didn’t do anything any very good QB couldn’t do. He never got control of the game (a testament to our defense, and because HIS D was so good he didn’t have to press). And his fumble could have cost him the game. I just wasn’t as impressed as I was when I saw him in some other games.

Well of course.
This wasn’t what people meant when they said “evenly matched.” They meant “evenly matched” as in 42-35 or something similar. And by stats alone, one would think that DT was the difference-maker in a win, with a 67% completion percentage and 300+ yards and 2 TD’s.

The passing yards don't tell the whole story. We made him pass a lot more and run a lot less. This was a win for our defense.
Here are Newton’s stats for the 2010 season. Below is a brief summary, plus two additional (avg. passing attempts/game and avg. rushing yards/game) stats that weren’t captured:
………………………..Natty….Average
QB rating …………..137.8……182
Passing yards…………265…..203.9
Passing yards…………265…..203.9
Passing attempts………34…..20 (284 Att/14 games)
Rushing yards………. 64…….105 (1473 yards/14 games)
Yards per attempt …..2.9……..5.6
He won the Heisman because he had a winning record, he’s tall, good looking, charismatic and his dad’s a preacher. Oh, and he played in the SEC.

I would agree that each had singular moments that one could say won the game
Pryor would be bottled up only to gain that critical first down..but if that receiver doesn’t make the catch of his life or Masoli doesn’t botch the handoff…
Cam Newton seemed to scramble for the critical first down as well, but again, we held them to 22 points.
Luck was on fire, but there’s no way our D should have allowed that many points. I consider that more a defensive failure.
Moore was sloppy in that game, and I think Masoli’s poor play, LGB not being able to run the ball, and the inexperienced Oline play were more to do with Oregon losing that game, than Moore’s play winning that game.
My parents believed in me.
I think something he was alluding to
was the fact that we lost to teams that had great QBs. Sure they may not have beaten Oregon single-handily, but they required extra preparation for Oregon, and the way I look at it, you have to have a great QB to beat Oregon.

Totally agree with that
1. only 4 loses during his tenure is unbelievable.
2. it does take a great QB to beat the Ducks (though not singlehandedly imo)

I honestly haven't watched much LSU
but it sounds like he’s not a great QB….turns the ball over a lot, not a lot of TD’s. Can he run?
My parents believed in me.
Here are his passing stats from last year. 10TDs and 11 INTs does not bode well for a QB against an attacking and ball hawking defense like Oregon’s.
Plus he only had one game where he passed for more than 250 yards last year.
P.S. For comparison sake, here is Masoli’s stats from last year. Very similar.

That's what I was thinking, too.
The SEC blog on ESPN called his stats “laughable,” which seems a little mean, but true, and says that they’re trying to implement a more pass-friendly offense this year (yikes!). Why, oh why did Cliff get in that stupid car…sounds like his dream quarterback come to life.

I agree about Cliff
I’ve heard others comment that losing him vs. LSU isn’t a big deal because they don’t have a great passing attack…maybe that’s true because we’ll need corners who can provide run support.
But then again, Cliff against a bad quarterback could have a feast. If they threw to his side….
My parents believed in me.
But all these stats
are from last year. Who knows.. Jefferson might have the game of his life against Oregon, much like Pryor did.. and then suck the rest of the season. Would be just our luck if he did… lol.
I think it's a big deal, but...
I think the other guys will fill in pretty well, since they know it’s coming, they’re trying to earn spots, and let’s face it, they’re just pretty dang good. Following several of them on the Twitter is encouraging, since they’re often talking about how excited they are, how much work they have to do, etc. It just can’t come soon enough…

I consider that more a defensive failure.
Perhaps… but honestly… I don’t know how much better we could have defended that. If Luck OR Gerhart wasn’t there… that game goes way different, but that was one of the most difficult games Oregon has played.

Though we were being totally beefcaked by their O-Line/Gearhart Luck dropped some unbelievable long balls right into his well defended receiver’s hands.
Those were real backbreakers.
My parents believed in me.
Don't forget
Two awful drops by LMJ that would have been sure touchdowns. One catch for a TD or just close would have pulled the score much closer earlier in the 4th quarter.
I believe those drives where LMJ dropped them, we still scored TDs. It makes that as an excuse more negligible.

but it took 2 or 3 more minutes to get those touchdowns and we needed time, if that quarter went 5 more minutes I think we could have won that game.
I know we did on the second of those drives (although as Bandduck says, it cost precious time), but did we on both? I thought we didn’t on the first drop.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
We did. On the first one it was 4 plays later.
A completion to Dickson, to Barner, to Maehl, with the short TD run by Barner.
On the second one, it was immediately a TD.

That is pretty crazy.
It’s hard to believe the Ducks have only lost 4 games in that time period. There were years when a 4 loss season was a good year.
I would have to agree with fdf. Of all those QBs I would say that only Pryor beat us on his own.
Kellen played well, but our ineptitude had as much to do with the loss. Luck played well, but I still remember Toby running for 397387387 yards in that game. And Cam had a very fine game, but it was still one of his 2 worse games of the year – if not his worst against strong competition.
That wasn't close to Cam's worst game
as a matter of fact that was a pretty average statistical game for him. LA-Monroe (-11 yards rushing) or LSU (86 yards passing) or MSU (206 yards of total offense) were much worse games.

Key word: "Statistical."
He made mistakes, one of which (but for a weird 3rd down down/not down play and call) started a chain of events that could have cost the whole shebang. DT put up some decent stats but did he have an especially good game? There was good and there was bad.

I agree with you that he played well.
But playing well isn’t beating the ducks. Pryor beat us, hands down. He completed passes that he couldn’t hit in practice. Cam Newton, conversely did just as much to lose the game as win it. And my other point was that among his games against good to elite teams.
Let's not take away from what Oregon's defense does to good QBs
Locker, Barkley, Foles, Canfield, Luck 2010 are also good college QBs that got eaten up by Oregon’s defense. Having a “decent” game against Oregon doesn’t mean you’re just a decent QB. Usually it means you’re a very good QB.

Foles as well. Tale of 2 halves.
Funny how in both cases the quarterbacks seemed to become much less effective right around the time Oregon started scoring and their coaches started airing it out and eschewing the running game completely to try to keep pace.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Jul 28, 2011 4:07 PM PDT up reply actions
That's Oregon's philosophy defensively
If you give up your running game, we’re going to make your QB pay. Another thing to look at with those 4 losses is the number of rushing attempts in the second half. All 4 teams have huge rushing numbers in the second half because they stuck with the run.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Probably because they
weren’t trailing or had the lead. Most teams abandon the run because they have to score a lot, quickly. Those games the other team didn’t have to.
My parents believed in me.
USC 2010, Purdue and OSU in 2009 all had the lead in the second half against Oregon and each one eventually went away from the run because either we were shutting it down (USC and OSU) or because they knew our offense was going to score and they needed to catch up.
When teams have stuck with the run and been successful, like those other 4 have, it’s really helped them.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

Stanford and AZ dropped the running game while they had the lead.

Exactly.
And at times you can pretty much pinpoint when opposing coaches…is panic too strong a word?…panic and drop their running game. Against ’furd, it happened when we recovered the O/S kick and scored. Sure, they scored one more TD but after that is was punts, interceptions, and fumbles for them.

I think it was are most complete game offensively, statistically speaking.
We completely and consistently imposed our will against UCLA.
We punted once, in the 4th quarter. Got stopped on downs in the 3rd.
We had 5 drives with less than 4 plays. 4 of them were for touchdowns the other one was a victory formation.
They had 2 drives with over 10 plays. One of them ended on downs, another one was their early field goal.

Since we face the innovators of the "Pistol" formation (employed by sad sack pictured above)
Let’s discuss the merits of the Pistol, shall we?
Seems to me its a bunch of crap.
Who cares if the RB lines up directly behind the QB. You can tell where he’s going because he cheats at the snap anyways.
The whole thing is predicated on having a running QB, which various other offenses have. In that regard, the “Pistol” is not that unique.
My parents believed in me.
The pistol has an advantage with running between tackles.
It’s the same reason why Oregon’s RBs line up a few steps behind the QB on an inside play.
Momentum.

"If Lache Seastrunk is the POTG against LSU, I will formally quit ATQ." - Axemen23 on 6/21/2011
Yes, they line up 7 yard deep
but all we heard about was how tough it was to defend because the RB wasn’t offset. Not a bad offense (unless you have UCLA personnel) but it all revolves around the option threat of the running QB.
My parents believed in me.
UCLAs execution was crap
As for the pistol, I have to disagree. Being a Nevada grad as well, I have watched Ault use this over the years and it clearly works well when executed. Kaepernick and Vai Taua became the all-time leading rushing duo in the history of the NCAA last year. It isn’t just about the running back being directly behind, though that can be one advantage. The shorter pistol distance causes other timing issues. The system allows for power run schemes. It’s not unsound and can be quite cool…but it is very similar to spread schemes at times with similar option looks. I’m looking forward to seeing Nevada run it at Oregon; however, with Tyler Lantrip running the show, a new starting running back, and a younger team in general, it probably won’t be too much of a showing. That Nevada team last year was a beast that made Cal look silly and Boise, too, in the second half.
by DuckProfessor on Jul 28, 2011 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions
That's kinda the point I was trying to make
It’s not just because the RB lines up directly behind the QB as most pundits kept saying. It’s the variation and threat of a running QB that make it a productive system.
And, as UCLA demonstrated, if you don’t have the right personnel, the formation won’t do crap for you.
My parents believed in me.

Am I a bad father because my children (6 & 3)
come running when they hear the martini shaker?
they like to feel the “brrrrrrrr”.
My parents believed in me.
Not if you serve them in sippy cups.
You don’t want them to grow up abusing alcohol by spilling, do you?

It should be noted I have no children
Also, the fact that I find this picture funny keeps my friends from asking me to watch their spawn:

Wilner interviewed Larry Scott and got some answers some of the questions people have been asking
First thing is that the regional channel will always be on the basic tier.
This is the key part of the article
Regardless of which regional network you receive, everyone will have the same core 350 events:
All football games (that aren’t on Fox or ESPN).
All men’s basketball games (that aren’t on Fox or ESPN).
40 women’s basketball games.
Best-of-the-best Olympic sports.
All spring football games.
And he seems quite confident
It will be on all satellite systems as well.

So our favorite columnist
Wrote today that the Pac-12 was going to be irrelevant because, get this, Oregon is too good.
I sent this to him and got the following reply:
Disagree RT @skywaker9: @JohnCanzanoBFT USC was far more dominant in the last decade than Oregon is now and it didn’t hurt the Pac-10 then.

And added this when I said the Pac-12 was telegenic
Pac-12 needs to have a much stronger top half of conf. han its had in the recent past. More people watching, too.

I'm still waiting for him
to identify the “oregon spokesman” who talked to him about the NCAA investigation…..
He’s just making shit up.
My parents believed in me.
Oregon is too good? Umm… what?
Why the sudden sunshine pumping? I think Oregon has been pretty freaking good but TOO good? We almost got beat by Cal. We had a difficult game against ASU. The Pac-10 had two BCS teams. USC isn’t going away, they are just in time out. WSU is improving, UW has improved. The Pac-12’s bottom half has gotten better, and can be competitive with anyone. Oregon State, I don’t think will be consistently great, but they will frequently, if not consistently, be a threat to beat anyone.
It's spelled " S-H-U-B-L-O-W-N-I-A-N"

Maybe he was getting tired of the hate mail for a bit
I dunno, its a slam in its own way.

Okay this is funny even with our current situation
From Heismanpundit on Twitter
By my count, the 208-page 2011 USC football media guide contains the phrase, ‘vacated by NCAA penalty’ (or variations thereof), 112 times.

Richard Hammond, is that you?
I knew that awesome Top Gear presenter was a Duck!
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
Masoli already getting heat in Bay Area press
He signed an an UFA, and is iffy to make the roster. But since his reputation precedes him …
From a column on sanmateo.patch.com: “Does Jeremiah Masoli have a greater chance of making a touchdown in the NFL or starring in another police report?”
If you haven’t seen it, Masoli has a website that is priceless. He wants to set the record straight … What a waste.
