Quack Fix: Lache Seastrunk transfers, LSU players allegedly in bar fight

Did you think the Ducks were going to let the offseason just pass into the night without anyone noticing? I don't think so! Oh, and don't forget, 12 days to Duck football. 10 days to college football.
- As you've no doubt heard, Lache Seastrunk will be transferring. George Schroeder says we can't call him a bust, and he's been a victim in this Will Lyles mess. Can't really disagree with that. Scott Reed over at the Duck Other Side has an article from Lache's point of view. He says that Lache is transferring to be closer to his family, and one of his grandmothers who is battling health problems.
- LSU's had their own problems, with a large number of their players skipping curfew and allegedly being involved in a bar fight. And The Valley Shook has a great breakdown of the facts and the rumors of the case. While it sounds bad, I'd caution all Duck fans from jumping to any conclusions. We've been through this type of situation, so let's just wait until we have all the facts before throwing any stones.
- How about a little football news. The Ducks had two practices on Saturday, and Moseley had an update after the afternoon session. He also gave us his projected depth chart last night. Of note, Curtis White is not listed after his latest injury, and Dior Mathis has moved from CB to WR. Make sure to check out the video of him after the jump.
- We're not the only ones with a crush on Dennis Dixon. Bill Connelly from Football Study Hall does too!
- An interesting article from Smart Football this morning: Can a QB's throwing motion be improved? Short answer, you can improve the footwork, but the actual motion is far more difficult, if not impossible. Check out the full article for the long answer.
That's all for now. Leave any other comments or links below, and make sure to check out videos of Chip Kelly, Darron Thomas, Eric Dungy, and Dior Mathis after the jump. GO DUCKS!

Tra is an RB, Bryan is a QB. Be kinda tough to have two #2’s in the same backfield.

Did he change to 2? The roster still shows him as 3.

I thought it may have been an instance where they didnt have a red shirt to match every number

http://taborsbigleaguechew.blogspot.com
I think Moseley hypothesized that it could mean Carson was intending to redshirt, and the number conflict wouldn't be a problem if Tra was never gonna see the field.
Though now that Lache’s gone, we may see a change this week.

Well sure.
I think the idea was that Carson wouldn’t have to change numbers immediately.

Is Texas A+M makinga mistake by trying to move to the SEC?
As anybody with even the most glancing perusal of the college football landscape knows, Texas A & M is flirting with the SEC. They are doing a delicate do-si-do, keeping in rhythm yet never quite touching. TAMU wants more than anything to become one of the “big boys” in the SEC. They think they are winning, but in my view they are going down the path of losing.
But in doing so, they are forgetting the most important rule in college football. Don’t Lose. Period. Not losing is even more important than winning in college football. It doesn’t matter who you beat and when. Whatever you do, do not lose. To anybody. Ever. The tyranny of the undefeated is still strong in college football.
This is a very simple rule that a lot of people forget. A lot of people think it is about having the best victories. Or putting up a spirited fight in a loss. Or even having great academics and never forgetting the athlete in student-athlete. We call those people Cal fans. We also call them “Those Who Have Not Seen The Rose Bowl Since The Eisenhower Administration.” And look I love Ike as much as the next guy, but that was a long time ago.

I’m sure most of you have already heard it but I just found out about the O Time song, what do you guys think of it? I don’t think it’s better then Return of the Quack but it’s alright
It’s a good effort and well done, but I’m burnt out on the Hip-Hop songs.
I like both Return of the Quack and On the Rock’s “Call Me a Duck”, despite their usage of autotune (Which is weird), a bit more.

I forgot about “Call me a Duck” it does seem like ever since I love my ducks came out people need to come up with a hip-hop song. Also speaking of I love my ducks I listened to it again the other day & maybe it’s because I like Return of the Quack a lot but it’s not as good as I remember
I noticed the same thing. But It almost everything has improved, technologically, lyrically, musically… it’s all around better.

Production quality is good, cameos in the video are really cool (I do believe that’s Amanda Pflu at 1:01), but that style of music is not my thing. I even like a lot of rap, but that R&B hook and beat are just too Akon-Locked-Up for me (Locked Up was a popular song, so what do I know…but I even like Styles P and I can’t take that song).
I saw O Time posted somewhere else and seriously couldn’t make it through the whole song, and couldn’t this time either. Cool production and big name cameos, though. I’d give it an A if I liked the music, but I find it unlistenable.
As Common says, “If I don’t like it, I don’t like it, that don’t mean that I’m hatin’”

We are all pretty damn confident that Chip will stay on with Oregon despite the NCAA stuff and all that. But IF, and this is a BIG IF, Chip Kelly for some reason has to go (god forbid) who do you guys think will replace him?
Nick Aliotti? Will there be a new coach on campus?
sorry for the random topic and it doesn’t really relate to anything in todays Quack. Just interested in hearing what people think.
Again, sorry if this has been discussed before, if it has somebody can just point me to that discussion and I will be happy to read from there :)

There aren’t really any guys that I could see being the head coach that are currently on the staff.

I’m with Axe on this, but ok, Frost really? I get that he’s an up and commer but he’s never held an OC let alone HC position. Do not see it.
Oregon is now a top 10 program, and my guess is if it wasn’t another HC like Peterson it would be an established OC who has taken the program to the next level.

I’m excited to say I’m about to make my first ever trip to the State of Texas. My friends and I will be in Dallas for the game and will be in the area for the whole weekend. I. CAN’T. WAIT.
There are about 10 of us, we’re all in our late 20’s, and for most of us this will be coming from California and Oregon for our first times ever to Texas. We’re staying at the Stonesleigh as it’s supposed to be surrounded by really cool bars etc.
We’ll be busy with the game all day Saturday, but that leaves Friday night, Saturday night, and all of Sunday to check out Dallas. Does anyone here have any ideas on cool stuff to do while in Dallas?

Weird...
This is almost exactly like my situation.
First time to Texas, 7 of us, driving from Los Angeles, mid 20s, staying in Austin and Dallas and doing whatever else comes to mind in between.
What I’ve heard about Dallas: kind of an urban sprawl (I’ll be used to that, living in LA), and not as fun – in a corky sense – as Austin or San Antonio. However, the biggest bar in the world is there, it’s filled with wildly hot blonde women, and it should be fun, as most major cities are.
With that said, everyone I talk to say the same thing about Dallas: visit a strip club – they’re epic. Not much of a strip club guy, but when in Rome…
The best part is we’re bringing our Australian friend. He’s SO excited because, as he says, “This is so American!!” We’re really excited to show him a wild time, and what better way to experience America than a road trip to Texas to watch football and party?

Moseley...
tweets have me intrigued. Weems, Clanton, Grasu, York and Asper starting oline. Since this is the week we install the gameplan, I think it’s safe to say that these are our five, as suspected (although I thought Clanton and York were reversed) . Moseley says that Benyard is the most improved in camp. With Benyard, Cody, and Golpashin, our line should surpass last year’s line at some point. That is my feeling at least.
Also, Grady is missing. Duckterritory has a free thread going about unconfirmed sources saying he is leaving. My first thought from Moseley updated depth chart is that Grady is getting pinched for playing time. Ifo is in the two deep to start the day. Mitchell and him will give us to physical corners.

Coaches were saying in an article...
recent olive one that he has to be a better CEO of himself – I think you can translate to mean he has a work ethic issue. The kid has tremendous athleticism and he is experienced but IFO was the only kid we took in last year’s class. With Hill and Mitchell already passing him up and IFO on his heels, maybe he is second guessing himself??? Hopefully the rumors are unsubstantiated. Moseley tweeted that he is going to ask in afternoon interviews.
He like skateboarding as well…maybe he pursues that interest.

We were only going to take DBs this last year
if they were really, really good. Great to hear that Ifo is showing well so far. Is it just me or has he been the most under-the-radar big time blue chip recruit we’ve had in years?
Kinda hard to call him that...
since it’s fall camp and this true frosh class has DAT and Lyerla at skill spots on offense.
"I love Oregon's obsolete recruiting report on an unhealthy level. Just more proof how balla Chip Kelly really is." Dr. Saturday
I just mean that out of the 11 recruits we got this last year
who were at least 4 Star per rivals, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more fan enthusiasm and excitement for each of the other 10 than I’ve seen for Ifo*. It seems like, attention wise, he kind of fell through the cracks. Of course, it totally makes sense that he would, coming in to a stacked position while a lot of the other blue chippers filled needs. But even the O-line guys were getting more buzz than Ifo – or so it seemed to me.
.* Ok, so the one exception might be Johnstone. I feel like I’ve heard more buzz about him as well, but I’m probably just recalling Moseley’s recent practice reports that say he’s looking really good. * *
.* * I am very, very, very excited about the potential of our O-line in a couple years once Andre Y, Fisher and Johnstone come into their own.
I heard that Coach Neal's first offer to a cb last year...
was to IFO. Considering Neal’s penchant for evaluating talent, that says something.

I love these for a look at how the game's evolved.
Example — some of the “Penalties” assessed in 1932:
Loss of 5 yards —
Crawling.
Attempt to draw opponents offside.
Player out of bounds.
Second, third or fourth incomplete pass in four downs.
15 yards for “coaching from sidelines,” “piling up”, “throwing fair catcher” (!), “leaving field during one-minute intermission” (?).
“Team not ready to play at scheduled time: loss of twenty-five yards.” Chip would love this one.
“Interference with forward pass by defense; loss of the ball.” WTF?

Just read the Sportsbrewery article about increasing frequency of the "discussion" going on between those in the print media and the Online blogosphere
Here is a link if you haven’t read it.
It completely baffles me how the old media doesn’t get why Oregon fans are frustrated with the coverage as of late and even worse, how they bring this feeling of superiority to any discussion. Even Mosely, who I like, has been getting a little defensive as of late, especially about the Scott Reed article. Oh and his twitter conversation with Lindsay Schnell is exactly the same as the one’s I’ve had with her as of late.
Just reading Scnell's twitter feed and its pathetic.
She’s paid by a newspaper to do what others do for free. To her, that makes her superior and all other opinions invalid.
That’s like saying a Doctor who volunteers his/her services at a free clinic isn’t really a doctor because they’re not getting paid for it.
My parents believed in me.
Well, no.
To a working journalist, It’s like saying someone who reads a lot of medical books and volunteers his/her services at a free clinic isn’t really a Doctor because their skills haven’t been vetted by a licensing authority. An MD who volunteers at a free clinic is still an MD, and not because he/she says so (well, we hope at least).
Most journalists look down on bloggers in general as a group of wannabe writers who didn’t bother going to J school and working in the salt mines for years to get their pulpit. The more publicity the blogger gets, the more it irks the professionals.
But Schnell has a point, to a point. Writers employed in the media aren’t completely self-directed and self-censoring. Everything a columnist or journalist writes has to pass through at least one editor and sometimes several, especially if there are facts that need to be checked (not such an issue with C*nz*no, apparently, but you get the idea).
The fact that Scott Reed “took Lache’s side” and wrote a sympathetic series doesn’t automatically make what he wrote credible, as much as most fans would like it to be. Readers have to draw their own conclusions based on what they know and what they feel. I think Reed was sincere, but there’s no point in arguing that he approached the subject in an objective manner — he wrote the series because he felt the mainstream media wasn’t doing it’s job. If in the course of researching and writing his stories Reed had discovered something unseemly, I think it’s unlikely he would have included it. Especially since his stated purpose, if you believe his Twitterhea, is to do as much damage to the C*nz*nos of the world as possible.
Where Schnell really screws up is in her statement that somehow opinion columnists are “journalists” because they “research stuff.” What a bunch of hooey. The point of journalism is objectivity.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
I don’t think there’s much defending of Reed’s piece. It’s the opposite of what the Canzano’s of the world are doing, and the truth obviously lies somewhere in between what happened.
That said, to dismiss someone’s opinion merely because they are a fan or have a blog is utter insanity, and that type of attitude is a massive reason why journalism as it used to be known no longer exists.

Schnell's argument of credibility doesn't hold up.
I too am baffled. Especially with Lindsay Schnell’s comments. If Reed was writing an opinion piece (Did it include his opinions? I haven’t read it.), they why harp on his lack of objectivity. As if objectivity is so difficult to manage anyways. Worse is her claiming Reed has no credibility. That’s just sheer stupid. Credibility has to be earned, and everyone, yes, even Moseley and Goe, start with zero. It seems to me that Reed is earning his credibility the way most good writers do, by working hard.
Schnell’s assertion that a writer must work for a “real” organization to be credible might have made sense 20 years ago. Not any more. Let’s say I had done the work that Reed did, wrote essentially the same article and posted it here at ATQ. I have a journalism degree. My first job was as a sports editor at a weekly in the Willamette Valley. I wrote hundreds of stories and a few less columns in my days at the college paper and while doing the job professionally. Heck, one of Schnell’s co-workers at The O was on my staff when I was the editor of The Pacific Index. I know football, and Oregon football in particular. I know how to gather and document facts, seek out quotes from key sources and piece it all together in a professionally written article or column. Would I also have lacked credibility?
You know what folks like Lindsay Schnell and others at The O and The R-G should be doing about Scott Reed? They should be hiring him. Otherwise we’ll probably have to listen to more whining from the media types when they get embarrassingly scooped by writers like Reed.
Note to Lindsay: Getting issued a press pass or getting a paycheck isn’t what makes a writer credible.

Honestly, what insight has the local media provided into the Lyles situation? I cannot think of one piece of investigative reporting where they added something new to the conversation
The three most in depth reports all came from blogs and message boards.
1. Loudquacks insanely in-depth analysis using actual bylaws and opinions from actual legal experts a
2. Matt Daddy’s visual timeline
3. Scott Reed’s Lache article
How sad is that? I had absolutely no problem with the original yahoo article and the follow up Lyles expose and thought both were examples of great journalism.
I agree – I don’t have a problem with Schnell (or Goe, Shroeder & Moseley for that matter). I read most of what they write since I want news on the Ducks and they are the gatekeepers.
But it bothers me to see her use non—traditional social media to denigrate someone’s credibility because they have shared their thoughts via a non-traditional forum. A bit of a pot/kettle situation going on there.
No disrespect to her overall efforts but she strikes me as someone without much professional polish and she should be careful with the elitist attitude. Certainly readers don’t appreciate it and it’s unlikely her bosses will be very happy with it long term.
ATQ's #1 Bill Musgrave fan
Curse you, Offseason.
I have a problem with Schnell.
I visited her twitter feed last night. This is what I noticed.
1. She thinks she’s more important than she is.
2. Seeing some of her interactions with both fans and other members of the media: She’s not nice and unprofessional. She flat out called another journalist at other programs an “idiot”.
3. She paved the path of journalism with gold and holds it up high as some sort of major achievement. Her elitist attitude with her industry and experience is preposterous.

i read the post and loved it
you wanna know the funny thing is i read almost everything on the internet, and i’ve never heard of lindsay schenell. almost everything including si, fox, cbs, espn, and the blogosphere (so what i’m on summer break and still in college).
i figured i’d give lindsay schnell a chance, take a look at some of her stuff, and make an opinion, and its crap. her video presentation on oregon st v. washington was awful and i know somewhere in the neighborhood of 50+ people could do a better job than her. i’m assuming even half the writers on this site could do a better job.
i don’t care about objectivity as much as good content. i can sniff out a homer when i read it or see it, and i can filter out the crap, it’s called critical thinking.
how can she say to not take reed seriously? no one should be taking her seriously. i don’t take the oregonian seriously. the only writer who i read regularly as part of a local paper is rob moseley, who’s the man. and he probably has to stick up for his paid profession and his coworkers who are also probably his friends. lindsay schnell sucks, canzano sucks, and bachman is god awful. they haven’t provided a good piece of content in what seems like years. i’m sure other people have better ideas before they eat their cereal.
you wanna know why papers aren’t doing well? its cuz they aren’t the best product and they charge for it. a lot of the writers suck and them sitting in their ivory tower feeling superior because they get a paycheck for it is why, they are lazy.
they should be taking bloggers seriously, because hopefully in the future papers replace these paid writers with the people who are doign a better job and for free.

Luckily she's on the Beavers Beat (after graduating from OSU btw), so we don't actually have to pay attention to her.
My guess is that she was hired because she’s young and she’s cheap. Gotta fill that space, and do it for as little money as possible. And experienced writers are expensive.
Maybe Schnell will get there, but she has zero credibility, and acting like she’s special, when she’s so obviously not, won’t get her anywhere.

How pompous! You know what? Journalists don’t need any credentials. Period. You don’t have to go to Journalism School to work as a journalist. You don’t need a license. Your job is to ask people questions then tell us what they said.
Anyone with a forum can do that. Today, anyone who wants can have that forum, which is why people like Schnell are obviously feeling threatened.

Lindsay didn't go to Journalism school, just FYI.
She learned by doing (school paper, internships) while getting a degree in liberal studies from OSU. Now she wants to pull the ladder up after her.
Seriously, after that Tweet you just posted, I'm intentionally boycotting anything she writes.
As opposed to the unintentional boycott I already had going.
Don’t worry, she’s the 3rd beat writer. The Oregonian also has Goe and Fentress on the Duck beat. There will be no reason at all to read Schnell.
Wait, she did have that totally unoriginal piece today on Hamani Stevens, that was written about 4 times already this fall.
Also, to put this in perspective, and Register Guard has 1.5 writers on the Duck beat (Moseley and Jude). The Oregonian has 3. And look at the difference in coverage.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I do as well. They’ve been solid. I’m pretty sure that Schnell will add essentially nothing to the conversation.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Fentress is really good.
He seems to be very solid as a writer, and I’ve never seen him not have a level head about things when opinions and judgment start to creep in. He seems objective and level.
Go plays the damn-the-ducks-footballers game sometimes, but he’s a really solid writer. And I really appreciate the effort he puts in to covering UO track – he’s often just about the only way to follow that.
Goe and Fentress have both been excellent when it comes to track. That is one area where their coverage is far superior than anywhere else.

Fentress is good

That you do the work, and do it at least at the pace that they want you to do it. They put in benchmarks – meet them, and if you can, beat them. I said it’s not much brain work. It’s a good deal of leg work. But it’s entirely manageable if you plan ahead and pace yourself.

A little background on Lindsay's career and credentials might be illuminating.
Did a little spin around the net. I apologize for the unofficialness of some of my sources. I couldn’t find an official bio so a lot of this comes from scattered pieces.
I believe (couldn’t confirm) that she graduated from OSU in 2009 with a degree in Liberal Studies. While at OSU she worked on the school paper, and rose to the position of Sports Editor. She won awards in high school and at OSU, and while at OSU she interned for Sports Illustrated, where she published a feature on Sammy Stroughter.
Before and after graduating in 2009, she worked on a freelance basis, often writing “special to” updates on OSU sports for the Oregonian (the type of stories is from my own memory). She had her big break in the Jeremiah Masoli debacle, where she tirelessly pursued the story, to the point of knocking on the front door of Mike Bellotti’s house looking for comment. She was hired in the fall of 2010 by the Oregonian to cover the OSU beat as a full staff reporter.
Some more perspectives from people who have interacted with her in a semi-pro context.
Also, she has openly called the Ducks “the spoiled children of Phil Knight.”
My point is, before you rage, consider her qualifications and position. I know, I know, she (seemingly) makes condescending blanket assumptions about people solely on the media in which they present their opinions. But it might be good to look a little closer before branding her as just another media hack. The thing I took from looking for background info is that she’s young. She has, at this point, only spent one year as a paid staff journalist for a media organization. She is two years out of undergrad – meaning she’s probably still in her early to mid 20’s.
You can judge for yourself how much credibility she has “earned,” and what basis she has to look down on others. Her credentials show merit and skill. They also show certain holes – for education she chose in-depth practice over academic study and (she assumed) somewhat less practice (as a graduate of UO SOJC myself, I think she was severely underestimating the practical experience available to UO undergrads). When I see her discuss things like objectivity, it seems clear to me that there are certain areas where she missed out on some big-picture and theory issues by eschewing a true Journalism school. That said, it sounds like, for someone with only a year’s paid professional experience, she had a lot going for her resume coming out of school. I’m not going to sit here and say one thing is better than the other. But knowing a bit more about her background and position might help those looking to rage.
Just to clarify,
I believe she meant the “spoiled children” comment in jest, and I think it came off in my post as a bit more of a jab than I intended.
Obviously a riff on the widely-known "University of Spoiled Children" jab.
Either way, her youth certainly showed through in her Twitter snitfest. Any way you look at it, the argument that being a paid professional equals instant credibility is naive at best. That she blindly defends Clownzano and his “research” is at best misguided and at worst downright laughable.

I don't think she's unqualified
I think she needs to treat people better.
And her qualifications also don’t require me to pay attention to her.

See what I did there? Objectivity bias.
I didn’t mean to attack or defend – or to say that she was or wasn’t qualified. I was mostly trying to give people a point of reference to gauge her authority vs. the bloggers she critiques, as well as more experienced journos like Moseley, Schroeder, Hunt, Buker, and that Oregonian columnist. I personally felt rather offended by what she said on Twitter, and her general attitude. But then I might have ended up sounding like a defense. Whoops.
I totally agree on treating people better. One other thing I took from looking at her background is how much it undercuts her point. She didn’t get a fancy degree – she wrote and published, worked at lesser outlets and freelanced before getting a shot at a “real” news outlet. I’m struggling to see what the difference is between that and a blogger who goes out, works hard, gathers facts, and then writes a factual newsy story based on them.
I effing hate the offseason.

I personally don’t care much for accolades. They are pretty meaningless to me. They have nothing to do with credentials, of which she has none. She’s hardly any different than any blogger.

I had a great idea for the finals of the ATQ all-time duck football contest
the two teams that make the finals should be created on Teambuilder in NCAA 12, then duke it out in a simulated game for the title. That way we can see how a 250 lineman does against a modern day adonis.

Go for it.
I don’t know if I have that much time to spend, but if you can manage it, I’d be interested to see the results. On a similar note…

It certainly wouldn't be a fast job, but it'd be worthwhile, IMO.
I’d do it, but it would obviously be a longer wait…sort of like the BCSNCG!
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
It takes a couple of hours to do a good job
I did a teambuilder of the 1980 squad.. A good chunk of that was spent getting the 1980 uniforms right (or at least close).
No, I’m not volunteering.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Well the cool thing was if I did the proper simulation
I could have the game running play-by-play, instead of a straight “sim and stats” thing, like when you sim a week in a dynasty. So then I could get some highlights and put together a little Sportscenter-esque post for ATQ. Besides, who doesn’t want to see JStew hit the hole with Ngata closing.

Also, you are now winning 10-0-2. I don't get it. I truly don't. This is worse than the hot secretary winning the bracket pool by uniform colors.

It's still close. I wouldn't Lloyd Carr it just yet.
At least six categories could go either way with ease. They just happen to be on my side or tied. Pure coincidence.
Want to reconsider the wager? You can just put up the Brooks ball. I feel bad for trying to bait you into overconfidence.
Besides, remember: That Michigan team beat Florida in the Capital One bowl.

That’d be like asking Neuheisel if he thought his team could still win after Remene took it in for the 3rd time.
One of these days, we should do an “ATQ memorabilia” post though…I feel like we’ve got some interesting stuff between the two of us.

do you have any programs or information on the late 1920’s of oregon football? like 1927-1929
www.searchingforakilismith.com
It's next door to the Smith Family Bookstore on Wilamette across from the Post Office
it looks like a total nerdy comic/anime/manga store, and it is. But the guys in there are awesome to chat with (one is cool towards the Nike years, one is a total curmudgeon), and in the far back corner, they have a sports section. It’s like 1/2 a case, but they have some cool sports cards/packs/memorabilia. They’ve usually got 8-10 of the pre 1950 programs in there.

I’m researching the 26-29 years in the context of a possible book about head coach John “Cap” McEwan.

You're right
Why would anybody buy a biography of a West Point graduate who invented the spiral snap, coached Army against the Four Horsemen, turned Oregon into a destination for national recruits, fought racism in the athletic program and a martinet college president, and drank himself out of two high profile head coaching jobs? Sounds pretty boring to me. Guess I won’t bother.

I'm going to go back to figuring out how to "Miracle on" Ice your ass.
No, that’s not a typo.
The "Bill Simmons" of ATQ
It's simple
Turn my hitters into groundball artists and my pitchers into guys who can’t miss bats. Seems easy. Hell, I did it myself six straight weeks earlier this year.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Dude.
Does that even matter? I love small, personal “passion pieces” like this. A family friend of ours, long after he retired, wrote a book about the old Dory fishing fleet that used to work out of Pacific City (and still does on a much smaller scale) that was also part biographical. Printed maybe 200 copies and it’s an entertaining and extremely informative read.

I'm losing to an old man who's never played fantasy baseball before. He's shutting me out.
Think about how it felt when we lost to Boise twice. Now multiply that by losing to Indiana.

Stanford? Season tickets?
The Cardinal has sold 25,500 season tickets for the seven games at 50,000-seat Stanford Stadium, according to the school. That represents a 46 percent increase over last year’s final total and, more significantly, a 76 percent increase over 2009. (from Wliner story)
So, now it seems they’re at least assured of playing in front of a half-empty stadium.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
Hmm.
So they might average 25,600 per game.

I picked it up second hand, in the comments following Moseley’s Afternoon Practice Report, that apparently Clowny’s latest column is him picking the Ducks to go undefeated into the title game again.

Well, whaddya know...
Guess who wrote this?
A couple of years ago, in 2009, I watched a very good Oregon team struggle early in the season. They looked awful in losing the season opener against Boise State. The Ducks didn’t even look good winning at home, in a sputtering, grinding effort against a Purdue team that ended up with a 5-7 record. I wrote a column after the 38-36 victory over that lousy Purdue team saying I didn’t think the Ducks could find six victories.
They proved me wrong and ended up with 10.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
At least he owned up to it.
It’s admirable, I suppose.

Hmm.
Short-sightedness? Inability to assess what it going on on the field? Lack of actual sports knowledge? Sounds like a guy with a bald pate, little-guy syndrome, and a bunch of grudges against the popular crowd dating back to high school.

People always dog him for that prediction.
I never really got that – it seemed like a reasonable opinion at the time. Particularly for a columnist – that seems totally within the bounds of what sports columnists are supposed to say. And I had heard that he had denied making that prediction and being wrong – so kudos to him for not doing that.
Ugh. I need a shower.
The reason he got crap for that
is because it took him 2 years to own up to being wrong about it… and only when he writes an over-the-top piece about how good he thinks Oregon is now.
It was actually a reasonable position at the time, but it shouldn’t take someone in the public arena 2 years for being that far off on a prediction. Mark my words, it won’t take him 2 years to say he was wrong about Oregon going 12-0 this year if they go 6-6.

Not only that
He was very defensive about it at the time, saying things like “Show me where I wrote the Ducks wouldn’t win six games,” when what he actually wrote was “Do you see this Oregon team winning six games this season?”
