Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Quack Fix: Chip Kelly Talks Bobby Orr, Practice Reports, Mayan Calendars, and John Boyett

I'm from a small town called "Fresh Off a Cop's Ass", and you're making me homesick

  • Oregon Football Head Coach Chip Kelly did a QA session with the Thomas Neumann of EPSN Page 2 and there are some interesting nuggets. This time of year, you normally get questions like "who's a standout on offense" or "why is a football shaped the way it is and do you feel it makes your team faster". Two answers standout to me. One was his approach to goal setting which was "It didn't matter as long as I was happy when I got up that day." The other was who is favorite mascot was besides The Duck. Our friends up I-5 may be interested in the answer.
  • We've got a practice report from yesterday where it mentions an updated status on Josh Huff. He did practice yesterday but, of course, the situation remains day-to-day. With the end of Wednesday, Fall Camp is officially completed and so begins the LSU preparations. Hear that ladies and gentlemen? It's go time. We also have some analysis of the defense.
  • In an effort not to be outdone by local media exaggerated headlines, NBC latches onto a quote from Lache Seastrunk's concerning his departure and ask... "Could it be that Seastrunk actually played the part of the Mayans to Oregon's Doomsday calendar?". The article then proceeds to imply that the NCAA will give him immunity and grant him that hardship waiver IF he answers questions about everyone's favorite mentor and even goes onto make a connection between that immunity and the Miami situation. Looking forward to some wonderful comments on this one!
  • We also have some audio from Seastrunk himself regarding his decision not to appear on John Canzano's radio program. "Nobody goes on that show. All I hear are negative things about it".
  • One of my favorite players on the team is John Boyett and I was happy to see an article about him in the Corvallis newspaper which includes an account of him meeting San Francisco 49ers great Ronnie Lott.
  • Friend of the Blog and Track Tweeter Ken Goe gives us some updates on how thin the tight end position is and what we can expect out of the guys behind David Paulson. Just an aside, I get a little irritated with the use of the word "thin" to describe inexperience in various positions. It implies that there isn't talent or production at those spots and I think our run last year showed that we are a pretty deep team, regardless of experience.
  •  As we noted yesterday, men's basketball is ramping up their Italy tour and had a good showing against Latina Basket. I'm not sure what to make of this early game or how to even gauge the competition but I haven't seen this many people excited about basketball in years.

Hope you enjoyed the Quack today. We hope that you remember us for all your blogging needs and remember to spay and neuter your pets. Good night everybody!

Random thought I had, I remember last year some were proud that Jake Locker never beat us & this year if we beat USC Matt Barkley will never most likely beat us since he’s most likely headed to the NFL. If we beat USC who would you be more proud about us not losing too Locker or Barkley? I’ll go Barkley

Watching 1st Take & Christian Fauria picks us to go 3rd in the Pac-12 his reasoning is whoever loses the Oregon-Stanford game will finish 3rd & since Stanford has the best QB in the country they are the favorites for the conference. Skip wasn’t such a moron in his picking & Im not saying that since he picked us but since he didn’t say whoever loses a game in the North automatically goes to 3rd

by The Legend on Aug 25, 2011 8:32 AM PDT reply actions  

I was wondering that

If Stanford beats us and wins the north, we finish with 1 loss, ASU wins the south on head to head tiebreaker but has 2 losses, ASU loses the Championship game… who finishes 2nd? ASU would have 2 losses plus another in the PAC12CG, we’d have 1. This isn’t so important if the difference is holiday vs Alamo, but if , like last year, either UO or Furd go the the NCG it means Roses for #2.
Anyone more knowledgeable/less lazy with info on how ranking after #1 is determined?

by OregonNYC on Aug 25, 2011 9:20 AM PDT up reply actions  

It becomes an at-large BCS situation if a Pac-12 team makes the BCSNC.

So the Rose Bowl would get first pick at a replacement, and most likely they would be more inclined to take a one-loss Oregon over a 3 loss ASU team. They don’t even have to pick a Pac-12 team (but they would).

Picking another team in the winner’s division: 10 Arkansas
Picking another team in the loser’s division: 98 Florida, 99 Tennessee, 01 Florida*, 06 LSU, 07 Georgia, 07 Kansas*

  • is an at-large second selection when the champion is not in the championship game.
    I also didn’t include any team that was automatically in by BCS ranking of at least fourth, which was 01 NU, 03 Oklahoma, 08 Texas, and 10 Stanford.
    Also, 08 Bama and 09 Florida were both undefeated except for the SECCG loss.

via Wikipedia, so grab some salt and read on.
The tradition started in 1958, when Coach Paul Dietzel decided that LSU would wear white jerseys for the home games. LSU went on to win the national championship that year. Since then, LSU continued to wear white jerseys at home games through the 18-year tenure of Charles McClendon. Then in 1983, new NCAA rules prohibited teams from wearing white jerseys at home. Because of this, LSU wore purple jerseys during home games from 1983 to 1994. The team’s fans believed wearing purple jerseys brought bad luck to the team and complained often from 1983 and through the 1994 seasons, although LSU won SEC championships in 1986 and 1988 wearing purple at home. In 1993, then-coach Curley Hallman asked the NCAA for permission to wear white jerseys at home during LSU’s football centennial, but was turned down.
In 1995, LSU’s new coach, Gerry DiNardo, was determined to restore LSU’s tradition of white home jerseys. DiNardo personally met with each member of the NCAA Football Rules Committee, lobbying LSU’s case. DiNardo was successful, and LSU again began wearing white jerseys at home when the 1995 season began. In LSU’s first home game with the white jerseys, unranked LSU prevailed in a 12-6 upset victory over #6 Auburn. In 2000, LSU’s new coach, Nick Saban, altered the tradition of the white home jerseys: now LSU only wears white jerseys for the home opener and for home games against SEC opponents. Saban’s successor, Les Miles, has continued this pattern. For non-SEC home games other than the home opener, LSU wears purple jerseys at home.

Kris Brauner from Saturday Night Slant: Les Miles is no stooge, and Jordan Jefferson isn't either

http://www.duckstopshere.com/

Les Miles may act goofy at the mike, but he’s wily and resourceful on the sideline.
“Miles is 13 of 14 in converting fake punts or field goals at LSU. He also has converted 64 percent of his fourth down attempts. In four of his six seasons at LSU, he has ranked in the top six nationally in 4th down conversion percentage. Not surprisingly, those are the same four seasons that LSU has won at least 11 games.
 
Even with his “Mad Hatter” reputation, Miles still manages to masterfully pick the right spots to pull out a new trick. Since he’s a goofball, people dismiss it to “luck.” But you don’t compile a track record like he has unless you know what you’re doing. And just when you think you may have him figured out, he’ll one up you. While many were busy debating the decision to go for a fourth down when in field goal range, Miles not only goes for it…but he does so by running a reverse to a tight end. And why not? It worked. He refuses to play “by the book”. In fact, Miles doesn’t even know the book exists."
 
Don’t be fooled by Jordan Jefferson’s 2010 season numbers; he was a much better quarterback in the latter part of the year
“The coaching staff has been adamant throughout spring and into fall that Jordan Jefferson is the clear starter and that he’s much imrpoved. Tiger fans have heard this before, so consider them skeptical. But the truth is that Jefferson was playing pretty well towards the end of 2010. When you throw in new quarterbacks coach Steve Kragthorpe, it’s certainly believable that he’s ready for a much improved season. In his last four games against BCS conference opponents in 2010, Jefferson’s numbers were as follows:
 •49 of 76 (64.4%)
 •737 yards (184.25 yards per game)
 •5 TD
 •2 INT
 •173 rushing yards (43.25 rushing yards per game)”

It seems pretty obvious that they will test the shoes for hair/skin/blood.

Also, I’m guessing that he has a shit ton of free shoes from LSU, since he’s on the football team.

That's solid police work.

I’m guessing that if I were in a fight that ended up with two people seeking medical attention, there might be some sort of evidence on me…bruises, bloodied knuckles, etc. I drunkenly ‘tripped’ on a sprikler pipe a few weeks ago and I had a bruise that lasted two weeks. I can’t imagine what is holding up of the investigation. Seems there should be obvious signs of fighting from any suspect, not just Jefferson.

Yeah, it depends...

If he just jumped in and kicked someone who was already down, then he may not of suffered any injuries himself. Agreed that in most cases, a person who has been in a fight will have some obvious physical evidence.

Exactly. If he was just kicking him repeatedly, he could easily have no physical signs himself. And as far as bruises go…I’d venture to say that just about every kid on that team has bruises as they are finishing Fall Camp!

If the police were able to obtain a search warrant for his house, they must have pretty solid evidence against him already in the form of witness statements. I don’t think you can just get a search warrant without some strong evidence.

I haven’t spent a ton of time researching this, but I’m curious – does anyone know if it was the Marine that was coming to the aid of the driver that has the 3 fractured vertebrae? Or is it the driver himself? It’s crazy that they fractured 3 vertebrae either way. And I realize that they probably didn’t know he was a Marine when it was happening, I’m just curious about the Marine angle for pretty obvious reasons.

LSU beating police excerpt
Lowery advises that while standing outside in the parking lot of the bar, he observed several suspects that he believed were LSU football players (approximately 10-15 people) pull an unknown W/M [white male] out of a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. He advises the crowd began to severely beat the unknown W/M. Lowery advises that he intervened and managed to pull the unknown W/M from the crowd. Lowery advises that he managed to get the unknown W/M back into his pickup truck. Lowery states that the unknown W/M was able to leave the parking lot. Lowery advises that the suspects then began to physically assault him. Lowery states that he was punched and kicked several times by the crowd. I observed that Lowery’s face was swollen and had several bruises. Lowery also had blood on his shirt. Lowery advises that after beating him, the suspects got into a silver vehicle and left the scene Lowery states that he believes that Jordan Jefferson and Josh Johns, both LSU football players, were two of the individuals who attacked him.

That’s simply disgusting. Do these guys go back to campus, high five each other and say “man, we really kicked the crap out of that dude”? Fifteen to one?!

And

“She (a witness) observed Josh Johns as being one of the people who attacked Lowery,” the report said. “She advises that approximately five more suspects joined in on the attack of Lowery and that she believes that all were LSU football players because some she recognized as being on the team.

A lot of the trolls coming over to ATVS were basing it on “This guy said he went and helped after he saw the football players pull a guy out of a pickup and start beating him up.” You don’t think the fact that “This guy” was earlier that night stalking his ex at a bar and hitting her friend calls the white-knight-ness of his original story into question even a little bit?

Also, before you go talking about someone else’s education, learn that apostrophes do not mean “HOLY SHIT! HERE COMES AN S!”

I am not a fan of violating a restraining order (alleged or not)

by DuckUntilDeath on Aug 25, 2011 3:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

He wasn’t violating a restraining order; his behavior that night was what ultimately led her to file for a restraining order:

Elizabeth B. Siadous, 18, says in a petition for protection from abuse that on the night of Aug. 18, her ex-boyfriend, Andrew Lowery, 21, followed her to a bar, cursed and yelled at her, cornered her several times and hit one of her friends. It is not known if the friend is a man or a woman.

In her request for a temporary restraining order, Siadous also alleges that on Aug. 3, Lowery showed up at her Baton Rouge home and forced his way inside.
Lowery began screaming and crying and refused to leave, the petition says.
Lowery also previously followed Siadous to New Orleans and threatened her friends, the petition says.
A judge granted the temporary restraining order Wednesday and set a September hearing date.

Even if someone alleges (and I am not saying anyone has or will) she was standing next to the truck that honked at the football players, Lowery doesn’t deserve to have his face kicked in for trying to aid someone who was being beat up.

SportsByTMZ continues to maintain his journalistic standards

I won’t link it because I’m afraid of catching skeeziness, but C*nz*no’s favorite “investigative” “journalist” has resurrected the old story of bankrupt North Carolina football coach Otis Yelverton’s connections to Cal recruits a couple of years ago. But I’ll save you the trouble of going there yourself as a public service. The highlights:

Apparently Yelverton as a mentor of some kind helped pay for recruiting trips to Oregon and Cal for several players including Gabe King, Keenan Allen, Zach Maynard, Chris McCain, James Scales and Remene Alston, Jr.

Yelverton also wrangled $40k worth of gear as a donation to his high school from Nike, “through his connections with the Oregon athletic department”.

There are other attempts to connect Yelverton with Oregon. The article makes a point of stating Alston “joined the Oregon team in 2007”, which is just funny, since he was on the scout team in 2006. He also drags up the story of Gabe King moving to Eugene his senior year to work out eligibility issues.

I’ve read the story three times and have absolutely no idea what point he’s trying to make.

My comments on this travesty can be found in the comments of the travesty

as follows (once they clear moderation, that is):

Did you consider why those BCS-game-losing teams drop off the next year? Across the board, they were loaded with seniors or draft-eligible talent at the skill positions. The players didn’t stick around for another try, or if they did, they didn’t contribute.

Last year Texas lost Colt McCoy (Heisman finalist). A year earlier, Bradford (Heisman) was coming off a BCS season but tore his ACL in the first game; bye bye Sooners. In 2007 Ohio State didn’t have Troy Smith (Heisman). Matt Leinart (Heisman) left USC after 2005. All Oklahoma lost after 2004 was Jason White (2003 Heisman) and Adrian Peterson (2004 finalist).

The U in 2003? Say goodbye to Dorsey and McGahee (Heisman finalists), along with Andre Johnson and Sean Taylor. No Eric Crouch (Heisman) for Nebraska in 2002, hello Independence Bowl. Chris Weinke at FSU? Heisman and gone by 2001. Michael Vick was 3rd in Heisman voting as a freshman in 1999, but his injury in midseason cost the Hokies a return shot in 2000.

Get the drift here? All those teams had Heisman finalists and winners and/or guys who were in the NFL the next season. They either couldn’t or wouldn’t stick around for the old college try, or were too banged up to pull it off.

Oregon returns its entire starting backfield, including its Heisman finalist from 2010. If the Ducks don’t get back to the BCS game this season, it won’t be for lack of talent.

And it won’t be because of some imaginary BCS-loser jinx.

Wasn't Bradford's injury a shoulder thing,

that was aggrivated after an ill-fated attempt to return too soon?

That said, excellent work.

by omb on Aug 26, 2011 2:46 AM PDT up reply actions  

I believe that's the case

but the point is that all those teams failed because the players they’d had during their run to the Natty weren’t around to help them out the next season.

I realize I’m taunting the injury gods here.

I see what you’re saying, but I feel like our questions on the lines give him plenty of reason to want to put us down where he did. I wouldn’t, but I don’t mind that he did.

Honestly, I don’t think 9 is egregiously low for us. Sure, we return a lot of experience at the skill positions, but we have good reasons to be concerned about our play in the trenches going forward.

Some good nuggets in the free video...

on DSA with York. He spills the beans on Grasu and Clanton starting. Says the freshman 5 coming in will be as good the ’08 seniors.

You would have to assume that Golpashin rotates in first with Benyard and Cody following. He also says watch for Jake Fisher. I wonder if he rotates in with the tackles. Cody has been playing there, so maybe they can save a year of eligibility.

Jake played TE in high school at pretty high level. Maybe he could play in a goal line jumbo package? Anyways, gotta think the coaches redshirt him.

They might want to be careful what they wish for.

As a Duck fan, I’m not exactly displeased with the idea of a callow freshman being relied upon to make the correct reads defensively against an offense the will at times be reading HIM. Athletic “freaks,” especially young ones, are exactly the type to bite on fakes and/or overpursue.

to make correlations between Auburn and LSU. The similarities stop at SEC WEST. Seriously, it’s like trying to compare Stanford and Oregon’s offenses. While both are great in their own right, they aren’t even close in style or personel.

Color me intrigued.

You probably remember that snippet towards the end of open recruiting about Chip saying he wants “all his linemen to be able to play left tackle.” This clearly means he wants big, nimble players who can both pull and hold their blocks with equal aplomb. If this class is what he wanted, in 2 or 3 years these big (they’ll all have gained 20 or more lbs by then, and be in the 290+ range), athletic linemen will be leading the way for some of the most exiting and explosive players in college football, initiated by one of 2 quarterbacks in Bennett and Mariota that were pritnear tailor-made to run said offense handing, pitching, and throwing to the likes of Sumler, Blackmon, Thomas, Carson, Lyerla and other athletes not yet imagined. The mind boggles.
