Quack Fix: LSU bigger than the national championship game?

PrintQuack overload today. Enjoy.
- With the Ducks entering game week, the team has begun to prepare in earnest for the highly anticipated matchup with LSU on Saturday. And, Darron Thomas is ready to play, calling the LSU game "bigger than the national championship."
- Aaron Fentress discusses the above comments from Thomas in more depth and examines the possibility of Oregon still earning an invite to the national championship game with a loss. Fentress also writes that Oregon hopes that Cowboy Stadium will not be a distraction.
- Moseley also has a practice update from yesterday, noting that Kelly said he thinks the team will have "all hands on deck" for Saturday (save for those with known long-term injuries, like Curtis White and Blake Cantu).
- In 2012 football schedule news, it was announced yesterday that the Ducks will play Fresno State. Oregon is also looking to replace Montana State as their third opponent. As Moseley notes, this will be the first time since 2005 that Oregon will have three non-BCS nonconference opponents.
- Ted Miller writes that the LSU game is an opportunity for Oregon under Chip Kelly to finally come through against a highly rated nonconference opponent. In a lighter note, Page 2 did a top 25 ranking for schools based on bands that are in some way tied to the school---Oregon and the Decemberists come in at #12. Finally, Miller has a quick rundown on all the conference week 1 games.
- Bob Clark runs down which conference coaches are on the hot seat to start the season. Not much that most of us haven't seen already: Rick Neuheisel and Paul Wulff probably have the hottest seat, with Dennis Erickson, Jeff Tedford and Mike Stoops probably starting to feel a little warm.
- David Monti writes that Trey Hardee and Ashton Eaton are the latest pair of preeminent U.S. decathletes after they took gold and silver at the recent World Championships, respectively. Lots of good quotes about Eaton as he prepares for the 2012 Olympics, so check it out.
- In other World Championship news, three more athletes with Oregon ties advanced out of the preliminary rounds of their events on Tuesday morning. OTC Elite's Jesse White (high jump) and Lauren Fleshman (5,000 m) were joined by Oregon's Matthew Centrowitz (1,500 m). Unfortunately, Andrew Wheating was unable to advance.
Don't forget to check out the videos after the jump!
Go Ducks!

I should of used Huff but I forgot he wore 4, I have a Williams jersey or I bought #4 when he was still playing, so now I have a Huff jersey & a LaMike jersey
I rewatched Oregon-Washington last night
pretty ugly game, although the final score looked fairly nice.
Josh Huff and Cliff Harris though…my God those guys are fast. There were so many Washington punts and by the end of the 3rd quarter the entire audience was standing and OOOOing every time the punter came. I bet we had over 200 yards on special teams, probably 300 if there weren’t any penalties.
Anyway, Josh Huff is super duper fast.
I
Huff doesn’t wear #4 anymore, does he?

Btw, why are the Thursday games to terrible?
There should be at least something that I can claim to be decent football to get the season going. Instead I’m going to be stuck with my best option being, what, UNLV-Wisc? That is an atrocious game.
Wisc...
always has trouble in the first game. It should actually be tight. Also, preview the bavers next shellacking.

Yeah, the OSU connection is the only reason I care (and that is a piss poor reason to care)
Wiscy may not open so strongly, but I think they are 35pt favorites, so not so sure about the tight game.
Wake Forest / Syracuse is at least a somewhat even matchup of two BCS conference foes.

After watching FishDuck’s video’s I decided to look to see where our TDs came from last year on a video from youtube. I should say it’s probably not 100% accurate since some of the plays went by so fast & you couldn’t even tell the formation & it doesn’t include the Auburn game.
Inside Zone TDs: 39
Outside Zone TDs: 28
Empty backfield: 3
Defense: 3
Special Teams: 5
I had my wife watch Fish's vids last night
To get a better understanding of the game. Then we had the CSN replay of the Husky game on last night, and as soon as the Ducks would line up for every play, she’d yell out “Inside Zone Read!” or “Outside Zone Read!”.
Apparently Fish’s tutorials worked.
A little too well.
Yeah I was thinking about having some of my family watch it but feared the same thing would happen. I kinda want to do what your wife did for the LSU game just to piss off my soon to be brother in law, sister, & a couple of there friends since they most likely don’t know it as well as we do & I can look like a genius.
They are fantastic videos for those who are less Football Proficient
My wife loves the Ducks but wanted a better understanding of the minutiae of the game. Fish’s videos, while obviously not all-encompasing, allowed her to (quickly) learn the basics of the offense and provided a nice graphical representation of how the read actually works. For that, I think they’re very beneficial.
I was joking about it being annoying that she knew the plays, though in all seriousness, she was calling it out on every down. Oh well, as long as she continues to enjoy watching them with me, we won’t have a problem!
They are great for kids too
I’ve got my 11 yr old watching them – he always wants to know more about what is going on.

I am a Duck Fan/Alum living in Chicago and I will be attending the UW-Beaver game on the 10th. I have mixed emotions about whether to go and root for the conference (even though the chances of them winnning are slim to nonesky), or go and laugh at our little brother getting smacked around? Opinions???
Any beavers victory that doesn't hurt Oregon is fine with me
I mean, don’t scream yourself hoarse, and don’t you dare do the OOOOO ESSSSS EWE chant, but I see no problem with rooting for the home state and PAC12

ATQ's #1 Matt Daddy fan

I'm tired of OSU playing paycheck games early in the season
and hurting the conference by losing, only to beat upper Pac competition later in the year and tank the overall SOS. Therefore, I always root against OSU in early paycheck games. They deserve the losses they schedule for themselves.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
By this logic
shouldn’t you be rooting for them to win those games, and then for the Ducks to crush them so it improves the conference SOS and the Ducks’ SOS?
I
No, because they've let me down so many times
and afterwards I feel dirty and cheap for rooting for the bavers, and then I feel worse for feeling bad about the bavers losing, and then my angst compounds… so instead I just root against them. That way if they win, well at least there’s a bright spot to it, and if they lose, I feel ok.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
This^^^^
I don’t know what’s with this recent trend of “it’s okay to root for the Beavers as long as they’re not playing the Ducks” has come from.
After a game last year I went to Rennies to get some dinner and watch some more football…they had the Beavers on TV and people were actually cheering for them. In Eugene. In RENNIES!

my fandom is logical.

its best not root at all.

I am torn. On the one hand, clearly that’s the logical way to go. On the other, I hate the fact that I am supposed to root for rival teams.
I root for some teams to win OOC games – but never OSU or UW.

Question of the morning to get our brains working:
Anyone think that Cliff is suspended for more than one game? His suspension is technically ‘indefinite’.
How about Kiko? One game or more than one game?
ATQ's #1 Matt Daddy fan

I think Cliff will be back.
I suspect Kiko gets an extra.

I agree with this, Kiko’s was worse and he’s been suspended before for similar actions. I was actually thinking initially he might get kicked from the team but it’s obvious at this point that he’ll stick around.

I'm sure Chip knows what to do, but my concern is with the rental

This is a brilliant pick
Low risk high reward. He took a team in UCLA that has pieces but hasn’t put them together. They very well could be dangerous if they figure some things out. If they catch a couple breaks they could be in the championship game, making Herbie look brilliant. If they don’t hey he was just shooting by the hip and no credibility lost.

It’s not that crazy. They return a lot of people, and if just a few things go their way – they’ll at least be competitive.
But he also picked USC to win the south. Get rid of that, and you’ve got almost a pickem of Utah, ASU, Arizona and UCLA, and their two most likely losses are Stanford and USC. They’ve got a pretty easy schedule, comparably, as their north competition is OSU, Cal and Stanford.

People have there types, I think she’s hot but I have recently debated if she’s even the hottest anymore on ESPN I’m not sure if I’d take Jenn Brown over her it would be a very tough decision for me if got to make it.
Blah, I just threw up in my mouth.
As attractive as that American History X curb stomp pic from a few days ago….
What is wrong with you guys! She is very hot, knows more about football than you and has sideline access to the best game of every week, she is the perfect woman.
And Chip has a thing for her, IMO
They have a thing for each other.

She's pretty
but she’s generic looking.
Her, Jenn Brown, Rebecca Haarlow, you name the blonde with mic and they’re all pretty much the same.
(that’s not to say that they aren’t attractive, I just see why people are gaga over her)
But then, I’m clearly insane.
My parents believed in me.
Did you just compare Rebecca Harlow to Erin Andrews?
Granted Harlow is much more attractive in person, but she is not even in the same ballpark as Andrews
I'd take Haarlow in second
over Erin Andrews. She’s an Ivy league educated Heptathalete! And she’s a little funkier looking, which makes her more attractive in my opinion.
My parents believed in me.
Haarlow has a jaw worthy of a comic book superhero.

This is the look that is the commercial definition of beauty.
Perhaps that’s why it doesn’t impress me. She could be standing on the sidelines or reporting on Fox News.

i agree with this … the standard definition of beauty is boring to me … especially since most of these women have the body of a 13 year old boy … whatever happened to women having curves?

I guess I understand you saying EA isn't hot
but that she is lacking in curves? Curves does not mean chubby, chubby is round. Curves means hourglass, an Andrews has this in spades. Did you see the video that sparked this sexist debate? Yeah, curves
I wasn’t speaking specifically about Erin Andrews, more so about our society’s definition of beautiful these days … but, I really don’t care enough about the subject to debate it on here
You're not being very tangential.

Just because it's a commercial definition of beauty
does not mean she is not very beautiful. And just because you see women that look like that on TV regularly, does not mean they are a dime a dozen. I think you are dabbling in what some call “hipsterism.”
Plus, have you ever watched her? She’s not my favorite, favorite reporter, but she is clearly intelligent and substantial. I assume that she would be horribly offended by being compared to any of those bags of rocks on Fox News.
I
Just commenting on her
looks. As far as sideline reporting goes (which is utterly useless in my opinion) she’s good at it.
My “dime a dozen” comments does not mean that she is extremely common, rather that this is the current marketable definition of beauty, which I find boring and plain.
The Fox News (or local news reporter for that matter) comparison is accurate. Her good looks are what the majority of Americans find to be attractive at this time. To me that is generic.
My parents believed in me.
Agree to disagree on whether we find her attractive.
But finding Rebecca Haarlow attractive because she has a jawline that you could shave with, and not finding Andrews attractive because everyone else finds her attractive does not make logical sense to me.
Not to mention, Rebecca Haarlow is about the worst sideline reporter of all time.
I
Looks V. Ability
a whole different discussion…but I agree Haarlow is terrible at her job!
I wish I could think of an example from the celebrity world of what I mean….but most celebrity “beauty” I find boring too.
Maybe Rachel Weisz? Christina Ricci? Norah Jones? I think most everyone would agree that they are beautiful, but each has a look that separates them from the minions of leggy blondes that are paraded around of TV all the time.
Maybe I just like brunettes!
My parents believed in me.
I did not know who that was
but after googling her pictures, I can say yes. She looks good as both a blonde and a brunette, and certainly has a uniqueness.
My parents believed in me.
Dime a dozen?
If I send you a roll of dimes, could you buy several dozen and send them to me?

Yeah, that's the problem with a vendor-coded application
There’s only so much actual coding you can do; this is fine-tuning their crap schema and indexing philosophy, which (nerd alert) seems to be “Heaps are beautiful, why would you want a clustered index?”. Between this and the way they’ve moved many of their queries to .NET from within the application, it’s all I can do to have any impact at all by fixing their lousy SPs.
My DBA is busy just keeping everything glued together, and the irony is that I’m a better DBA than he is, even though I’m not a DBA. So when things happen like version upgrades that come with woefully underperforming SPs, I get on my white horse and try my best not to make things worse.

I like them quite a bit.
Some of that is that I listened to them a lot during some great and memorable stretches of undergrad, so there’s nostalgia. But beyond that, they do a lot of stuff that I just really like. They definitely lose me sometimes when they slip into their most overindulgent anachronistic storytelling mode. A lot of my favorite stuff of theirs doesn’t do the anachronistic story thing at all. But they do (or at least have done) a lot of stuff that I think is worthwhile.

Because suspending them for Sac State is meaningless anyway.
But if he’s not suspending them because of depth problems, he has a depth problem of his own.

Perhaps Riley should sit all of his starters for the first 12 games of the season so they are fresh for their offseason workouts.

I dunno if he'll actually do it
But he’s talked seriously about not letting Rodgers play until the UCLA game at least.

Rodgers still isn't cleared for contact in practice.
He’s done drills, but hasn’t performed in any scrimmages. I would think that if they’re talking about sitting him until later in the season it’s more to do with making sure he’s ready and not shoving him out too soon.
And he might not return kicks at all this year
Is what I’ve also heard, which does make sense since that’s an easy way to get reinjured.

It's a bit ridiculous.
At first I thought he was talking just about the kids who threw the party. And in that situation, if you’re really going to delay it because you need them versus Sac State, why bother with the suspensions at all? (Later saw that there’s a department policy that mandates a suspension, so he doesn’t have the option of just ignoring it).
But Masaniai is the girlfriend – wrestler, and that’s certainly a more serious deal. The idea behind suspension, I thought, was that someone has to pay their dues before they’re allowed back on the field. Part of the punishment is that you hurt your team by fucking up. Pushing that back because the player is actually “needed” is some SEC-level weaseling. Why suspend at all if the lesson is that you’re only suspended because we don’t think it hurts us? In the end, he’ll sit out a bigger game, which in theory hurts him more, if not his team assuming they get other guys back at DT. It seems weird that Riley wouldn’t just dig deep to find a replacement, because they’re not losing to Sac State.
I just know that, to me, it seems like we “need” Kiko to some extent, but too bad, he’s out. If he wasn’t out we’d catch hell, but I don’t think we’ll need to worry about that sort of thing with Chip. He’s no Urban Meyer when it comes to timing suspensions – if you fuck up, you’re out until your debt is paid, and if the team is hurt, you’re going to have to live with the fact that you’re responsible. I like that Chip does that. And it doesn’t really diminish my respect for Mike Riley that he decided to run his team this way. It would be nice though (wishful thinking) if there was some measure of objective moral standard and perspective in the talkingheadosphere, so that standup guys like Chip could get their due.
Let's see, does he go with suck or super suck?

Keep getting warnings from AVG

Anyone else have this problem?

I quit using AVG
because of false virus warning and it missing one or two that others caught.

There have been a lot of reports of this happening with AVG. It seems to be AVG being AVG. I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials, which is also free.

LMJ plays quarterback?
Because we all know that the Heisman Trophy goes to the best QB on a BCS bowl team. I’m pretty sure that those are the rules.
/Sarcasm
/Not really
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
Not to mention,
Isn’t LMJ supposed to get a little smaller of a workload this season? He didn’t have KJB for much of last season to lift some of the immense load off of his shoulders, so his number of carries was probably higher than it otherwise would have been if KJB were healthy.
I dont think that there is much of a way for LMJ to win the Heisman… Unless he averages, like, 10 yards per carry on 300 attempts.
Self anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
I'm pretty sure rushing for 3K would get him a heisman, yes.
Head of the "saying stupid shit" department at Nike. ATQ's resident designated driver.
I don’t think KJB is going to spell as much as many do.
I think they are going to be in two back sets even more this year and cycle, and LMJ is going to rush for just as many yards and TDs, but on fewer attempts.
But that’s with my homer glasses on.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-I-M-P-A-T-I-E-N-T".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
i agree, I think LMJ will be a decoy a lot more often this year, which will lead to more explosion plays when he does get the ball
I think, based on my fall practice notes
that we’ll see a progression where KJB is in the slot more than in the back-field to start, and we’ll see a good chunk of two back sets with DAT and LMJ
Head of the "saying stupid shit" department at Nike. ATQ's resident designated driver.
That would be pretty ideal.
LMJ just looked pretty darn beat up by the time that the Civil War came about, so I am merely guessing that Coach Kelly will try to get other players to spell for him earlier in games.
Hopefully our O-line and receivers are able to solidify their blocking early in the season so that LMJ and DT don’t get killed early on.

From eDuck: Google translated story of Men's BB win in Italy
There’s a full house at PalaGorla for the first friendly of the season Cimberio: well over 500 present, a success for the organizers of the first memorial Fabio Porta, former baskets gorlese died last year, which will be called the palace of Gorla Maggiore . Double Feast of the evening view of the beneficial purposes for which collections of 8,800 euros will be donated entirely to ADMO Varese and AIL. In the interval of the race, the mayor of Gorla Maggiore, Fabrizio Caprioli, delivered a memorial plaque to the parents of Fabio: "It was a person who has left his mark – the mayor said – and meant a lot for this country. Even now, thank you all, is giving us a great message of solidarity ".
On a purely sporting there to record the defeat of the University of Oregon Cimberio against young people, who rely on the distance a clear leadership and athletic condition, is what can the team Recalcati still very packed, without her point guard, and in fact reduced to 8 effective, as Fajardo, not in a position, must precautionary rest throughout the encounter. Some discrete signal Diawara, who was also deployed only in the first half of the race and immediately responsive to three points, and crimes, its top scorer with 12 points; Hurtt fight a lot but is not as effective under the basket. But there’s still time to work a lot.
THE CHRONICLE – Recalcati part with the quintet formed by Demartini, Garry, Kanguro, Hurtt and Diawara, who immediately makes you feel with a 3-2 triple. The agility of the “Ducks” lays bare the problems of defensive Cimberio (3-6), but is back on with a new shot from the last purchase 3 (10-9). Crimes, just come in, leads to maximum advantage on the Varese 16-11, but then unleashed two triple Kingma allow the boys to lead Oregon to close the first quarter. Kanguro is felt in the second, three times a sign for the 26-23, but suffers from too Cimberio defense and gives their opponents a few spectacular dunk. A shorty slalom Lloyd gives the U.S. the break of that range well below the range of 5 (35-40).
SECOND TIME – Quintet for alternative Cimberio with Ganet in the role of point guard: not enough to avoid a heavy part of fully signed by Brown 0-7 (38-47), which then makes the sign also crushed 43-50 . Varese tries to react with a very good offenses, author of the triple of 48-53, but the past remains strong and grows with the resounding impact on the race of the guard Nared: first a triple, then a three-point play for 52-65 . In the last quarter the Cimberio improves on defense, so that in the first 6 minutes Oregon scored only a field goal, but after the new triple Offences (63-67) the thrust becomes exhausted, and the last hopes are extinguished Varese Demartini from the line of error (65-71). In the final applause of a coil by Loyd fixed the score on 67-75.
COMMENT – The analysis of the evening Charlie Recalcati leaves no doubt: "Playing with a physical and athletic team so we would have paid under normal conditions, let alone today, with heavy legs and very little work behind. The game was seen as an exercise in which, for the first time, we could do all-round game. At the beginning we have seen something better, but only because we were relatively fresh. Of course, it never enjoy losing, but players will need to know that later in the season to get the benefits. "
Varese-Cimberio Oregon University 67-75 (16-17, 35-40, 54-65)
Cimberio: 4 Demartini, 10 Hurtt, Lenotti it, Talts 6, 8 Diawara, Garry 7, 8 Kanguro, Ganet 6, Fajardo I, Zattra it, it Bertoglio, Offences 12. Coach Recalcati.
Oregon Barron them, Garrett, Lucent will, Ashaolu 8, Loyd 6, 6 Kingma, Jeremy 15, 10 Singler, Nared 6, Brown 17, Emory 2, Larson I, Woods 7. Coach Altman.

CK has lost 4 games total
I hate it when they cherrypick data.
I prefer this nugget: Oregon has only lost to Heisman caliber QB’s Moore, Luck, Pryor, and Newton. I think that speaks volumes more than 0-3 versus ranked non-con opponents.
My parents believed in me.
I know we've all read that nugget before
not trying to act like I came up with it….just much more telling IMO.
My parents believed in me.
I'm confused
they called it non-conference games. IMO Bowl games aren’t that. We’re 0-1 with CK (if you want to get pissy about Utah)

The Swinging Gate
Here’s a random thought: Have we ever seen the swinging gate formation late in a tight game? Have we even seen it in the second half? It seems like that formation only pops up early.
Do you think someday we’ll see that formation late in the game, or even in overtime? It seems like we only execute the 2-point attempt when there’s a clear misalignment on defense, so why wouldn’t you give it a shot late in the game? If they cover it you can still kick the PAT, but maybe the formation would cause some confusion and lead to an advantage.
I think it’s generally to set a competitive advantage early in the game.
Suddenly the opposing team has to make up another point somewhere and most aren’t going to try when it is early, which could bite them and force them to make a bigger gamble late in the game.
I think we generally have an idea for what kind of swinging gate play we want to run, so we line up and see the look they give us, if it’s open we take it, if not, they draw up a new play next time.

Chip Kelly always says that he sees it on tape then uses it. never ‘planned’ depending on the situation. if we can exploit it, we will right away. no need to wait till end of the game
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
Last year they said they added a new swinging gate play every week in practice. I don’t remember the source but I think it was mentioned at a few different points during the year.
maybe we can start a new swinging gate package like the wildcat. pretty soon everyone will be running 25% of their plays from it.
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
I think we’ll reach a point where Chip doesn’t kick, ever. 4th and 28 from your own 7 yard line? Screen pass. 4th and 10 with 30 seconds left in a 1 point game, within field goal range? Four Go Routes. He won’t kick extra points, he won’t even HAVE a kicker. When the official asks for the ball to kick to the other team Chip will just stare him down with his arms folded until the zebra relents and gives our quarterback the ball for another possession.

Gotta love the timing.
My parents believed in me.
Two things
One: I have updated my NCAA 12 rosters and uploaded the new ones to my gamertag (oreduck2011). They include new players (James Scales, Daryle Hawkins, Will Murphy, Rahim Cassell, Ayolde Ford), removed players (Brandon Williams, Scott Grady, Anthony Anderson, Blake Cantu…coincidence that 4 were added and 4 were taken away? I think not), Positions changed (French to TE, Malone to LB with DB characteristics a la Pleasant, Patterson to free safety), and ratings adjusted according to depth charts and fall camp performance for the new comers especially (Mariota up, Kelley down, etc).
Two: If you’re interested even .0001% in the UW ticket (At face value), shoot me an email so I can keep track of who’s interested. Thanks.
