Quack Fix: A Nearly Sold Out Cowboy Stadium, How Much is Too Much Drama and Roberto Nelson
by dvieira on Jul 7, 2011 7:01 AM PDT

PrintSo sick of Willie Lyles, so very sick of it.
- Bud Withers is doing what all columnists are doing these days with Oregon but in this article, he does raise an interesting question. How much drama is too much? One of the charters of University President Richard Lariviere was to do things "the right way" and clean up parts of the athletic department that had strayed a little too close to the line. How much does he crack down in a situation like this? I think that's a big unknown at this point and may add an additional wrinkle to this whole mess.
- We are under 2 months away from the LSU game and tickets are going fast at Cowboy Stadium. In fact, they're working through selling the standing room only tickets now at $50 / ticket. Keep in mind that when the Dallas Cowboys are actually playing, those tickets sell for $29. Oregon State and TCU sold 46,000 tickets last year. If Cowboy Stadium is into standing room only tickets, they are approaching capacity at 110,000 tickets sold for September 3rd.
- The Oregon State Basketball team is over in Macedonia on a service trip and while that may not be interesting to many Duck fans, the fact that Roberto Nelson accidentally broke a backboard during a game and needed 20 stitches may be somewhat intriguing. Skip forward to about 2:10 into the video to see the actual play.
- MMA fighter and former University of Oregon All-American Wrestler (thanks Pat Kilkenny) Chael Sonnen will make his return to the octagon this October at UFC 136.
- Finally, with all these Willie Lyles stories, I feel the media is doing the equivalent of writing a 4-chord song. Warning: some limited bad language.

Before he gets that, he needs to learn to defend against submissions for more than 4.5 rounds.
Otherwise, the 2nd fight will look a lot like the first. He is proof that a solid wrestling base and a giant, gaping chasm of a mouth will get you far in MMA.

I’ve obviously been down here too long to have the Waltzing Matilda bit crack me up.
And for some more devastating news from down under last night, was the third and deciding game of State of Origin, the biggest Rugby League match of the year in Australia. I was forced to watch my team lose to a team in purple, captained by a guy named “Lockyear.” It was terrible.

I'm not going to link it, but...
George Scrotum has another article in today’s RG about how much Oregon “may” pay in legal fees for a seven month period. His estimation is $150,000 to retain the Fixer. I can’t even scoff at it because, 1) we’re rich; 2) that seems cheap to me for the best legal defense in the country for such a long period of time.

Many times that. Far more $ at risk if the NCAA hammers us, makes sense to give us the best chance of avoiding losing that $.

One thing that doesn't bother me
After seeing the Gene Woj frontpage article on ESPN.com about us going a bit dirty to win is that loss of “purity”. I’d rather but a winning program than a 100% clean one. That being said, we should aim for a bit more on the safe side in the future when it comes to violations.
Bottom line, tradition says you do things the “right way”, tradition doesn’t change, champions do.

He states that the Ducks aren't a feel good story anymore, but are "just like the rest of them".
What he fails to either mention or realize is that this means Oregon is now a power in football. That’s something you couldn’t call the Ducks even back in 2001.
Be honest, which would you rather Oregon be: Squeaky Clean and a perennial 6-6 team? Or a little dirty and a conference powerhouse and national title contender?
I’ll give you a minute to consider the options.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
I want to be proud of my team and my alma mater. If that means that we’re in the 6-6 to 9-3 range from year to year, I’m ok with that. I’d rather lose doing things the right way than win and do things the “wrong way”.

For more:
Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the United States with an official capacity of 109,901.2 The football game attendance often exceeds 111,000 when band members, stadium staff, and others are added. On September 4, 2010, 113,090 attended a game at Michigan Stadium between Michigan and the Connecticut Huskies, setting the modern attendance record in college football history,3 behind several games with estimated attendance of over 120,000 played in the 1920s at Soldier Field in Chicago.45
I just realized that I was looking at the '09 record book. So yeah, we'll say 113,090.

Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris today paid $1,620 in traffic fines stemming from an incident last month in which an Oregon State Police trooper ticketed him for driving 118 mph with a suspended license.
A Linn County Circuit Court official said the fines were paid with a check apparently written by Harris’s mother. An attorney delivered the check on Harris’s behalf, the official said.

Just the small fraction that watches OTL.
The problem is that he is asked to appear on CFBLive, where all he has is people urging him to spout his shit unchallenged. And my guess is CFBLive has 10x the viewership of OTL.

I know "Columnist" basically absolves him of any responsibility, but
What the hell, shouldn’t there be SOME measure of professional responsibility for guys like him? He’s plain making stuff up. Basically lying to push his point. And he doesn’t get called on it, and he gets to just drive the fantasy narrative forward.
There’s no question about James’ eligibility. None. Anyone familiar with the basic concept of time and the most tenuous grasp on actual facts can tell you that. But no, right. Clown can just go making things up, lying, to create a story that will void Oregon’s recent success.
What a douchebag.

He's burning bridges at a furious rate, that's for sure.
He’d better hope CK gets forced out, otherwise he’ll be on the outside looking in as other PDX radio hosts get the exclusive interviews. The Blazers froze him out once, so maybe he’s used to it.

You’d need other quality radio hosts in PDX first. Canzano drove better ratings than Jim Rome in Portland.

Not necessarily.
“Anyone but Canzano” is better than Clowny himself at this juncture. The only time I ever called his show was to ask him to explain his silence on the Baver’s LV Bowl catastrophe in light of his ceaseless criticism of the Ducks in the same bowl against the same team with the same result (didn’t want to be there, got embarrassed). He said “I’ll get to that after the break,” which he didn’t, and to this day has never addressed that game.

You're comparing apples to things that are not apples.
Canzano wasn’t on at the same time as Rome. 3-5pm drivetime will always get better numbers than 9AM to noon. Especially in their target demographic.

I understand that, but honestly – I think Portland loves to listen to Canzano. Whether it is love to love him, or love to hate him, people listen to him. We “love” to talk about every little thing he does HERE.

the moment i saw canzano i just sighed
i respect bruce feldmans opinion on college football, anything else and he sounds like an average viewer.
interesting point by feldman, saying that it looks like a cover up may have happened, but ultimately says that he doesn’t know what kelly told the ncaa.
personally i’d like to know what other black writers, such as bomani jones, think about this whole situation.

NON-LYLES RELATED.
So Ted Miller’s listing the “indispensable player” for each Pac-12 team. Cal was today, so Oregon’s probably up next so Colorado’s up next then us (keep forgetting that we no longer follow Cal. Weird.).
So far: Arizona – DT Justin Washington, ASU – Burfict, Cal – Keenan Allen.
My question is, who do you think is Oregon’s “indispensable player,” and why?
Darron Thomas
Poise under pressure, hard to replace an experienced QB, etc.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I think I'd have to agree with DT.
Everywhere else, there’s some kind of depth, or a couple guys splitting responsibility. We like Bennett’s potential, but he still looks raw. There’s no-one with any game experience behind DT.

I dunno about that.
IIRC we put up between 52 and 60 points in the games Kenjon missed. Where is was apparent that KJB was truly missed was how out of gas James got towards the end of the season. The difference in the Baver game was crystal clear: LMJ was grinding it out and Kenjon looked electric.

Of course, I took a history degree which I never used in any way, shape, or form except having an undergraduate degree helped to eventually get a M.S. in Computer Science (which in turn HAS fattened my wallet, although the actual benefit of the degree itself in real-world terms as far as my job itself goes is debatable).
