Quack Fix: Looking back at Oregon's facilities, two recruiting visitors this weekend

It's been a big week for Chesterfield as he got @addictedtoquack trending on Monday night with this tweet. If you're not already, follow us on twitter! Here's your quack for today.
- Kurt has been dropping a lot of great old videos in the fanshots, and has used that footage in a piece at FishDuck on Oregon's facilities over the years. He starts at the founding of the University, and moves through the years, covering Hayward Field, Mac Court, Autzen Stadium, Matt Court, and much more.
- Pac-12 basketball is a mess this season, both on and off the court. ASU has been leading the off-court shenanigans with two suspensions and a dismissal. Oregon is heading to ASU tomorrow night. Unfortunately, the two suspended players, Kyle Cain and Chris Colvin, are reinstated for the game. Still, ASU is without a true point guard and has been turning the ball over at a pretty astounding rate. This is a very winnable game for the Ducks, and they'll need to get the road victory to stay in the conference discussion.
- Oregon ended the season ranked 4th in the country, and could likely end up ranked there to start 2012. Rob Moseley runs through a few early 2012 rankings, and all have Oregon ranked 4th. But let's not go counting on anything just yet, we still have an offseason to get through.
- USC and Oregon are already being typed as the two Pac-12 contenders, and USC, as usual, is losing some depth, especially at wide receiver. Hyped WRs Brice Butler and Kyle Prater are leaving the program. USC may have the top starting lineup in the conference, but with recruiting sanctions taking effect this year, they may have some depth issues this season if they have any serious injuries.
- In some recruiting news, Rob Rickert has an update on Texas WR Thomas Johnson and his cousin CB De'Vante Harris. Johnson has recently decommitted from Texas and Harris from Oklahoma. Both will be visiting Oregon this weekend. Though they aren't necessarily trying to play together, they are both looking for similar things.
- The indoor track season is starting, and the Oregon women have started the season ranked #1 in the country.
- Oregon headlines Ted Miller's "what we learned: Bowl edition." The Ducks can win the big one! Its amazing how quickly the narrative will change with a win in a big game.
Leave any other quack in the comments. GO DUCKS!

You should include where you get your info from

When I’m posting at 6:45 in the morning including the info isn’t the first thing on my mind. Anyways I think someone said it in yesterdays Quack Fix

Yeah I believe it got deleted bc I don't see it in there anymore
It didn’t have any sourcing info either though.
It looks like he is not
Rivals lists visit dates when they are planned and show Johnson visiting this weekend while Harris is visiting A&M. Rivals does not show a future date for a visit so one may not be scheduled.
You're all so lazy at 7am, so I'll do it from work ;)
here, coming on the 13th according to Scout. Rivals doesn’t have this info though, so not sure if that is 100%
i swear i dont work for DuckTerritory but they are great. they are having a free 30 day trial (NSD is Feb 1st?). its great. if you care about recruiting nonsense, its perfect!
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
I signed up for the trial,
But I must admit that I am disappointed by the lack of film they have on players. It seems that Rivals is endlessly better in that regard.

Great article on the history of facilities
Anyone know when the light and airy Mac Court of yesteryear became the dungeon of terror we all know and love with the upper tiers?
Thanks Brett
Yes, Mac Court was remodeled several times over. In its initial construction 1926-1927 it seated a little over 6,000 (the photos I included in the article showed the interior in the original design).
1937 they replaced the old roof and improved the support beams
1949 was when they added the additional roll-away bleachers near floor level to expand seating (Pit Crew seats)
1953 they added bleachers on the north end
1955 they built the exterior steel support beams above the roof (the building has been plagued with roof problems from the beginning) along with adding the two balcony levels and the metal stairs
and in 1996 they did a 5 million overhaul to the roof and other patchwork projects

The balcony ends weren't finished until 1975
There was a south balcony, making the seats into a horseshoe pattern, but the north end was the last to be completed. The demand wasn’t there until Harter came along and made Oregon hoops the hottest seat in town. The last addition was 1200 seats total, was started in early Sept 1975, cost $290K and was done in time for the first home game (Boise State). This addition pushed Mac’s capacity up to around 10,100 for a few years, until Jerry Green’s lower level redesign (part of that 1996 overhaul), with the plush donor seating, dropped it back below 10k.
Photo of Ronnie Lee, circa 1973, showing where the balcony wasn’t… and yes, he could jump that high (that’s Bill Walton missing a block).

Cnn doesn’t even do sports stories. Nuts
I know we were talking about the hit Boyett made on the last pass play for Wisconsin
I mentioned that I noticed a coach was signaling for a timeout but didn’t call one. Well, check out this link (the 1:12 mark), looks like concussed Boyett took the signal and tried to call a timeout, only the ref didn’t see him.
Whew.
h/t Sportsbrewery for the post
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

Also
Check this out and look at the coach right next to the ref on the sideline and yardage marker. Can you imagine if they gave Oregon a timeout there?
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
looks like the coach thought we got a TO called
It wouldn’t have been that big of a deal though. Your chances of winning are still not very good if you have one play to complete a 25+ yard pass into the endzone.
I noticed that immediately
That’s why I didn’t see the spike live, I was watching Boyett wobble like a drunk sailor and hoping he’d get the damn timeout.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Isn't the rule that only the Head Coach can call a timeout?
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
Players can call timeouts. The coach was trying to direct the official’s attention.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
When I look at both it looks like the coach is trying to get the players to call a timeout
He starts first. It looks like Boyett sees it and tries to call one and then the coach tries to get the refs attention that Boyett is calling one. I wonder which coach that was.

Yeah,
The Blount thing tends to show that a year of character rehab won’t always do much to move the needle for NFL teams if they think there are character/behavior issues there. And if he doesn’t go now he’ll have to wait two years, unless he went lower division, and then he’s way off the radar. Hopefully Cliff gets a shot and makes the most of it.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
It's tough to Say
Moving down a level seemed to work out pretty well for Janoris Jenkins this year. His draft stock is still really high.
I do agree, though that this was the right move for Cliff. He likely would have gone anyway. I think it’s a chance for him to start fresh.

NCAA
I was checking out your site to see if you had any information about the two Texas kids that de-committed from UT and OU. It appears to be more than a coincidence that they did it together.
The two guys are clearly great athletes and will be good gets for whichever school they finally pick. However, there are some recent rumors that they may be involved with a new Will Lyles type situation in Texas. Apparently the NCAA has already been contacted, so it may change the projectory. I hope a street agent is not involved, but it is becoming a trend in our state.
We're Texas, We're not OK.
So you came to ruffle our Duck feathers by suggesting in a passive-agressive way that our coaches performed a coup with the assistance of a “street agent?” The kids aren’t even committed to Oregon at this point in time. I may be wrong, but I certainly hope (and believe) that our coaches steer far clear of these “street agents,” considering the current investigation with which Oregon is involved.
But hey, I could be wrong.

by TennesseeQuackAttack8 on Jan 11, 2012 8:25 PM PST up reply actions
I didn't want to ruffle feathers
Was just letting you know the rumors in Texas and tried to do it politely.
By “projectory” I meant that y’all probably would stay away if Johnson is carrying that type of baggage given the current situation.
Yes they are cousins and I’m sure they talk. But, they both had been very vocal to their UT/OU commitments and so it was a surprise to both schools.
Texas is probably going to have legistlation introduced to make it a criminal offense to jeopardize a Texas high school player’s recruitment/eligibility in order to stop all the street agents setting up shop here.
No reason to shoot the messenger. Y’all obviously hadn’t hear the rumors and as football fans I thought you might be curious. Best of luck.
We're Texas, We're not OK.
You mean, of course, without properly improving he high school's athletic athletic facilities of the coach that steered (pun intended) the prep athlete to UT, right?
“Texas is probably going to have legistlation introduced to make it a criminal offense to jeopardize a Texas high school player’s recruitment/eligibility in order to stop all the street agents setting up shop here.”

Ummm....what?
That makes not sense. There are already both rules and laws on the books attempting to do some of these things. The NFL and NBA players unions both refuse to certify any agent who attempts to contact players who still have remaining eligibility, for example. The agents aren’t even allowed on college campuses. The PLAYERS have to take the first step if they decide to forgo remaining eligibility.

Caveat: I don't know what I'm talking about.
Are any of these criminal offenses? The NCAA is a volunteer organization. State (and federal) legislation is a completely different animal.

Soooo when someone leaves the state you call the cops on them?
Aren’t you guys supposed to do that when someone enters your state?

Uhhh, okay. That's cool.
Seriously though, Devonte Harris is all but a lock to go to Texas A&M now. Thomas Johnson (the ex-Longhorn commit) is taking an official visit to Oregon this weekend. It sounds like we (Oregon) have a great shot at landing him.
I know it may be difficult to accept for UT fans, but it is possible to recruit out of Texas without paying players or agents illicitly.

Besides, I'm pretty sure we've had our fill of DBs with a last name of Harris for awhile.
Got anybody with a last name of “Thomas”?

Was sitting here thinking about how the deck was stacked in favor of the SEC teams this year.
Allow me to propose a parallel universe theory. Suppose Oregon actually beats LSU in game one. With all other games playing out the same as they did in reality, I think the NCG still winds up with Bama and LSU. Why?
1. LSU would have lost early, supposedly the best way to lose. Oregon gets #1 votes but it’s not unanimous.
2. Because they are LSU they would not have fallen nearly as far as Oregon fell, maybe only to #8. Oregon goes to #1 but it’s tenuous and eventually Bama gets #1 back because, well, SEC.
3. Later, LSU beats #1 Bama at Tuscaloosa, and jumps to #1 since there are now no AQ unbeaten teams. Meanwhile #2 Oregon loses to USC and falls to #8. Okie St loses at Iowa St.
4. Bama is still #2, by a hairs breadth over OkSt (us beating LSU has no influence on this).
5. Rematch.
So, it didn’t matter if we won or lost that first game. On the other hand, if we hadnt even played it, played a cupcake instead… Wouldn’t have mattered, since the loss to toe jam and, well, SEC.
Fuck. I hate thinking sometimes.

Yeah, that’s why I have no problem with us going the SEC route with our non-conference schedule next year.

We've got to get more adept tho' at throwing the cupcakes in here and there so they don't stand out so much and, it's just like having several bye's.

No way do we lose to USC.

Well, duh.
It was just a mental exercise, change one game and see how little difference it makes.
I thought no way we lose to USC after beating Furd, for what that’s worth.

Won't matter if Bama wins out.

Arky will beat Bammer next year
Early on before the young ‘uns in the Tide defense get the hang of things,. That’s two loses…
Later, LSU beats #1 Bama at Tuscaloosa, and jumps to #1 since there are now no AQ unbeaten teams.
What? There would have been two unbeaten teams. Oregon and Okie State in this alternate universe. They would be ranked #1 and #2, and LSU would be 3rd.
Also, no way Oregon would have fallen to #8 after losing to USC. They would still have been top 5. I mean, hell, Okie State only dropped 2 spots after losing to Iowa fucking State.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
No, because okie St lost to isu and we lost to USC.
Remember, all the other games played out just as they did. Maybe I should have said LSU “eventually” jumps to #1 after okst and Oregon lose.
I wouldn’t have thought there was any fucking way Oregon fell to 13 after losing to LSU, but there you go, because, well, SEC.

Just because Oregon dropped significantly early in the season, doesn’t mean it would happen again. You’re applying old poll logic to how voters are voting now. If anything, that Oregon dropped shows poll maturity. It was the first game of the season, Oregon should have dropped very, very far.
If Oregon loses to USC on November 19th when they were undefeated, there is no chance that drop any lower than 4th, and that is the absolute worst case scenario. They’d likely end up virtually tied in 2nd with Bama.

virtually tied with Bama
Just like Okie State. I rest my case, because, well, SEC.

Except, Oregon would have beaten the SEC champion, and not lost to Iowa State. Oregon would have been virtually tied with Bama after that week, but would have continued to gain support while Bama sat at home on Championship Weekend. I find it highly unlikely that there would end up being two SEC teams in the title game when the SEC champ had lost to the Pac-12 champ.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I’d like to think you’re right, but voters and computers are proven to be insane. In this case LSU would have a win over Bama and their only loss was to a highly ranked team, while Oregon lost to a team not in the rankings at all.
I think you’re being way, way too rational about this, Jared.
