Quack Fix: Men's Basketball Cuts Down Trees Deep in the Woods, Rose Parade Stats, and Cyborgs

PrintSarcasm translates just fine on the Internet. I don't see what the big deal is.
- Yeah, I'm still reading about the Rose Bowl victory from earlier in the week. I just can't get over it. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. Fox Sports can't hide it either as they call the Oregon Ducks "the most futuristic team in college football". Yeah. I like the sound of that. We've already replaced all our quarterbacks' ACLs with spare Nike-sponsored cyborg parts. Time for new uniforms again! Hooray!
- Most of the local media seems pretty set on wishing LaMichael James well in his NFL career. As we all wait optimistically for his decision to be made (and made public), there is another Rose Bowl running back who looks to be returning to school for his senior season which could make the Big-10 conference race VERY interesting.
- I'm big into statistics around the Rose Bowl. Yards per play, sacks per minute, eyes blinded by helmets during the first quarter, any that I can get. What I didn't find until recently were some interesting statistics about the Rose Parade itself, especially when it involves an "Occupy" group.
- Many people are already predicting wins and losses for next year. How does Yahoo Sports view Northwest Teams in 2012? Well Portland Trail Blazers fans, you'll get the worst end of it by only making it to the Western Conference Finals.
- I would be remiss if I didn't include a link to a boxscore from the Oregon Men's Basketball game last night where the Ducks cut down the trees 78-67 from Matthew Knight Arena. That's a big win for an Oregon team looking to make some noise in the Pac-12 conference. Speaking of Matthew Knight Arena, there is a big event coming to Eugene and I'm going to be there with my "You Can't See Me!" hat telling people to "Know Your Role!".

Really a great win for the guys last night. Devoe Joseph was a stone-cold baller. Stanford is a strong team: they entered the game with 2 close losses to #1 Syracuse and Butler.

I was really impressed with Joseph, as well as our offensive and defensive execution.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was much more along the lines of what I’d hoped to see from this team this year. Let’s hope it continues.

Hopefully this doesn’t come off the wrong way(I can’t think of another way to say it since I just woke up) because he’s one of my favorite Ducks but I don’t care if LMJ stays or goes. If he stays great we’re that much better & we’ll all get to see him shatter records, if he leaves that’s great too since he gets paid & we get to see what Barner can do as the lead guy
I wish Eugene got the Raw Supershow instead of Portland(I know why though), I don’t think my two all-time favorites Rock & Undertaker will show up at a house show, it’d be cool to see some of the other ones though if I went. Also really dvieira you are a part of the fruit loop troop?
The Legend
I hope he leaves
He’a been absolutely fantastic for Oregon, but he needs to go get paid. He ran for 159 yards in a Ross bowl victory, played in the natty and was a heisman finalist. He deserves to get paid and because NFL RBs have such a small window of opportunity I think he should capitalize on it. Then retire and become Oregon’s RB coach.

Yep and their going to go undefeated in the process
With Tevaris Jackson setting all time QB records and the Defense shutting out 50% of all opponents. I’d be more inclined to believe Wazzu would be headed to the rose bowl next year than believe that the mediocre NFL team in seattle will ever make any progress either up or down. I’ve resigned to the fact that they will always be middle of the pack, draft middle of the pack and remain middle of the pack.
But you are all the smartest, funniest, most handsome bitches on all the internets.~DaisyDuck 11.2.11
To be fair,
Finding a replacement for Tevaris Jackson was a condition of their Super Bowl victory.
Because there are so many Super Bowl caliber QBs available.
Taxes don't kill jobs.
maybe
they could trade Tarvaris Jackson, Brandon Browner, and a third round pick for Peyton Manning /blazerfan’d

If we win out and take care of business
I think it will be hard for voters not to give us a chance…
It’s way to early to start speculating on this. I am however, feeling pretty good about our chances next year. A pretty cupcake schedule except for a few down the road will help.
Then again… if we play a cup cake schedule and win out.
An SEC team plays a cupcake schedule and wins out.
A Big12 team plays a cup cake schedule and wins out.
Who will go?
Than again. There are so many things that can happen in football. I am just hoping and praying that our team will come through spring ball without any major injuries and be good to go again next year.
ssshhh....
It isn't very common for 3 teams from the 5 (sorry BigEast, not 6) major conferences.
This year we only have 1, last year we had 2. It would be a tough situation for us if Michigan, LSU and Oregon all win out, but pretty unlikely.
It is less than 'not common'
It has happened once.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

Bleacher Report is the worst thing going on in the internets right now, so Yahoo responds with a “Contributor Network,” best described as a bunch of schmucks barfing onto their keyboards and getting published.
That “article” physically hurt me to read.
And....
The difference between schmucks barfing onto their keyboards there and here would be what exactly???
/ikidofcourse
/sorta
Both gold and muck come out of the same shaft...
The difference is that Bleacher Report and now Yahoo Contributor Network actually publish them like they’re legitimate articles. What the putzes here barf onto their keyboards falls into comment sections on a fansite.
I understand why Bleacher Report exists, but it surprises me that Yahoo is now stamping their letterhead onto what are essentially fanposts. It’s even more surprising that Yahoo is succumbing to this trend considering how far they have come as a legitimate sporting news source.

You can’t spell anatidaephobia without DAT.
So that 6'8" QB for ASU is considering going pro...
Sounds like he will announce today. Who would have thought Barkley, Ball, and Landry Jones would stay while Osweiler, of all people, would go.
Some team will rate him highly for his 6'8"-edness
After all, Osweiler is 6’8"…
The next question will be whether or not a team drafts both Maynard and Allen in a couple years so that the “they are brothers after all” thread can continue on beyond college.

It has been 4 days since the Oregon Ducks played in a Rose Bowl.
It has been 7310 days since the washington huskies competed for a National Championship.

I only watched a bit of the Under Armor high school all star game last night
But in the section I watched, the announcers went on and on about how none of the players had chosen Oregon yet. The score at the time was like 50 – 10 in favor of the white. I watched only three players choose and they chose LSU, Alabama, Alabama. Yuck.
Then I changed back to the Oregon basketball game.

You must have watched the little portion of the game I watched
They put up a statistic of previous years and the number of ESPN top 150 recruits who committed to Oregon. It went 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 5, 1 or something very similar with the 4 being in 2010 (Hi following Rose Bowl), the 5 in 2011 (Hi NCG), and the last 1 being current. They then went on about how sad our recruiting is this year because we only have the 1.
FU ESPN, we’ll recruit who we want to recruit. Also, I really don’t remember getting that many of ESPN’s top recruits the past couple years because our recruits always seem downgraded.

@jblair26
I don't get why Oregon fans get so worked up about recruiting stats
look at the top recruiting classes on Rivals and their performance over the last 10 years. Alabama (in NCG, won NC) Texas (won NC) Michigan (no NCs, but winningest program in history), LSU (in NCG, won NC), Florida (won two NC) Oklahoma (won NC), Ohio State (Won NC). Btw, Oregon has the 13th class, so we’re not sucking despite the lack of any single premier recruit
A good recruiting class doesn’t ensure you are world-beaters every game it sure as hell helps. It is like saying a team is good on paper. They may only be good on paper. However, they may live up to their potential. I’d rather have a team full of guys that just need to live up to potential to succeed than a team full of guys that need to exceed their potential to win.

Some people don’t want to coach in the NFL. Especially for a team that is very devoid of depth and doesn’t have a lot of skill at really important positions. It’s not such an enticing pick, but more importantly it’s not college.
Saban left for the NFL and did okay, then came back. Why? Because he was better at college coaching than pros.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Not to mention,
They canned their old coach after two seasons. It isn’t exactly appealing to see that if you don’t immediately win (with a terrible team) you will be fired.

And when Sark gets fired he won't get any of those when he moves away.
I love the Pacific NW as much as anyone here but Sark didn’t move to Seattle to hang out; he moved to run the Welps. I also seriously doubt that lossington is Sark’s idea of a destination job. Now I can see him wanting to complete something, bring the program all the way back, but this year the program stalled, especially on defense. You have to wonder if he’s lost momentum.
The Rams job, meanwhile looks like one with plenty of opportunity, due to various circumstances. At the moment the upside with the Rams looks much greater than with lossington. The Rams is basically a promotion compared to his current job. I gotta wonder what the thought process he went through in turning it down.
Or, maybe Sark doesn't feel like he's ready
The worst thing he could do is jump to a job he’s not ready for (especially with a lackluster resume in hand) and then fail. He might be able to go back to OC somewhere if the Rams job doesn’t work out, but that’s a lot of risk and little reward (unless you consider making the Rams relevant a huge reward).
If he’s able to finish the job at Uw, he’ll be one of the hottest commodities in college football, and will still have the opportunity to go to the NFL if he wants it.
Long story short, it could be a timing thing for Sark and not necessarily a momentum thing.

II’m elated as the next fan that we finally won our 2nd bcs bowl game. And right now, a lot of fans are celebrating, ….but.
Oregon has been on this stage before. We were favored by 6. We beat the spread like we’ve done so many times this year. I expected Oregon to go out there and find a way to win this game, because they’re good enough to get it done. The fact that we came up empty in the prior 2 bcs games, that were close for the most part & could’ve gone either way, is a testimony to this this team’s ability to compete on the big stage, win or lose.
Just my opinion, but too much “I still can”t believe" almost makes this seem like some sort of “upset”, which it certainly was not.
I think the “I still can’t believe” stuff has more to do with simple joy and excitement at being Rose Bowl Champions after 95 years than a belief that the Ducks couldn’t or shouldn’t have won the game itself.

considering the somewhat apathetic malaise over the Rose Bowl before the game…after the Rose and Natty the previous two years, there seemed to be a lot of “been there, done that” attitude. I was really shocked by the amount of people selling their tickets, quite a contrast from 1995 when actually getting your hands on a ticket to the game was like finding the golden ticket in a Wonka Bar.
Now after the fact people are excited as well they should be, but the turnout to the pre & postgame events was underwhelming, the amount of tickets for sale surprising. Still a good turnout by Duck fans at the game, but there wasn’t the same kind of passion for this one as there had been for previous games. Success breeds complacency, we’ve become very spoiled.

Success also leads to expensive trips to the Rose Bowl and National Championship games in the two years prior during a terrible economic downturn.
I’m sure some of it is complacency, but I would blame a lot more of it on money.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
certainly
trips to the national championship and the LSU game hindered some from being able to attend, I understand that. I’m still paying off my ticket to the national championship game, but the general underwhelming enthusiasm was a stark contrast to what I usually expect from an Oregon crowd.

It is concerning. Especially the reports we’ve had from Autzen the last couple years that have complained about the lack of noise and fan involvement. I don’t know what the solution is, though.

reserved passion.
i did notice that on the interweb it sounded like the oregon fans started out pretty cautious until the 4th quarter when they seemed to get really loud.
as an oregon fan, lifelong oregon fan (and student in the 90’s) i was at home being very, very calm until that late fumble recovery by Clay. THEN, i finally did a little Kelly Hop myself. okay, a lot of Kelly Hops.
so, i don’t think it was complacency, just reserved excitement. PLUS, im sorry but i cannot afford all of these trips at the moment.

Caution doesn't make sense to me as a fan
Rather than worrying and waiting until the outcome is determined, as a fan isn’t it far far better to simply live in the moment and enjoy the epic awesomeness that is Oregon football, win or lose? The expectations for the Ducks now have become so inflated it takes away from the enjoyment.
We’re witness to the most entertaining team in college football, if not all of sports, and people don’t want to indulge wildly soaking up every second of that?
Fans need to go back and relive some of the games from the 80s, or early 90s, or the Ludwig era, and maybe it will remind them of how lucky we are to have what we have now…not bitch about Thomas occasionally overthrowing somebody or the occasional loss, because those will happen…hell, they happened a whole lot more in previous years than they do now, so enjoy the ride, don’t wait outside the roller coaster while your buddies are having a thrill ride start to finish.

I like what you are saying in theory
but I can’t exactly embrace it the way you can. I have to temper my emotions just a bit, at least leading up to the events. Otherwise I get invested at what is very likely an unheathy level. I was seriously down after Dixon in 2007 and after the NCG last year. I was actually pretty mad at myself last year because I swore after 2007 that I would never let myself do that again, and yet….oops. I was trying to stay a bit more even keel this year. But still, even though I was trying to temper my emotions, I don’t feel like it took away from the euphoria I felt afterwards. I was over the moon, and still am.
ATQ's #1 fan of WINNING THE ROSE BOWL
I live and die with the Ducks Football team
It’s been that way since middle school for me. There are people who I grew up with who were beaver fans that, to this day we’ll get in a fist fight if we see eachother. I grew up in a time where every other year we lost to the beavers and it was miserable because it would be lorded over me for a year, then I’d get my revenge. In 2004 we didn’t go to a bowl game and it was a miserable time, watching other teams play while we sat at home.
The last 3 years have been nothing short of magical, I was so excited for the 2010 rose bowl that traveled 300 miles home to watch it with my family. We were so close to winning that game, then Blount fumbled into the endzone. I left home crushed but hopeful for the future.
The next year started with a buzz, we ran 12 straight games off the record and arrived at the National Championship game, a place where I never expected the ducks to ever be. I was proud when my Ducks just beat OSU and UW, those were the two biggest games of the year. In my minds eye I could see the Ducks making the rose bowl but never the NCG, not after the debacle in 2001. The east coast bias was real that year and Oregon was blackballed out of a shot at Miami. People say we wouldn’t have won but we never got the chance to try to prove them wrong.
I wrote a thousand word article on how and why Oregon was going to be victorious in the NCG and then we lost on a last second fluke play/FG. It was crushing.
This year I didn’t make any noise, I didn’t make any bold proclamations. I sat back and watched, cautious but optimistic. I don’t know if I could have survived if I’d let myself get as excited as the last couple years and we had lost again.
I was not complacent, not content at all. I was not disappointed in falling short of the NCG. I didn’t make the noise I did last year though and unfortunately that is being interpreted the wrong way it seems.

What you’re asking (reliving the games from the 80’s and 90’s) is impossible. Unless you lived through it, just watching it now won’t give you the same level of appreciation that fans back then had. It’s very, very hard for people who have become fans in the last 10 years or so to gain that perspective.
As for the emotional investment, as daisy said, sometimes people can be unhealthily (is that a word?) invested. It might be a good thing to scale it back a little bit so that you avoid the two week depression after a tough bowl loss.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
i dont think its complacency at all
I believe fans were nervous about this game due to the other “big game” losses. I think a lot of fans were buying into the media hype that we couldn’t win the big one and so didn’t want to invest financially and emotionally as much into it

It’s been 95 years. This is on par with Chicago-Cubs style luck, or Boston Red Sox (pre 2004) luck. I can’t believe it because it’s so shocking that we ARE here.
But we are. We are a top-10 annual team. We are known everywhere, and not just for crappy uniforms. We are looked for on the highlights of sports center. Lee Corso loves us. We have had two 12-win seasons in a row and three BCS bowl games in a row, including the national championship. We are there.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that we won. It should be a surprise that we’re here.

Yes
He’s pretty damn accurate, especially on the deep ball. He has better passing tools than a guy like Tebow, a good arm, and serious mobility. I don’t know if he’s the type of guy who wants to be running in the open field and taking big hits every week, but he should be able to buy time, roll out of the pocket, and make some plays when given a run / pass option, especially in the red zone.
The thing that made RGIII great was he was a legit dual threat. He could run and beat most, but his main weapon was his arm. If he can adjust to the speed of the NFL, I don’t see why he couldn’t succeed.

Absolutely
He’s smart, he reads the field well and does do multiple reads, is very accurate and can throw very well in the pocket and on the run. He’s mobile but not a running QB, if that makes sense. I can see him easily getting into Steve Young territory in a few years, or Ben Roethlisberger; both are QBs with mobility and ability to extend plays while being fairly accurate, especially on long balls and improvising.

Yep, good for him
I hope he does really well. I think that unless he has a very great career he’ll be in it for only a few years and then get into coaching or something else; I don’t think he cares nearly as much about the money as many others and cares a lot more about family and relationships, which in the NFL are few and far between.
I also think that when the pro day happens he’s going to get his stock increased significantly. People think he’s a jitterbug runner and expect he’ll be fast, but they don’t think about his power nearly as much as they should.
One possibility that I’d love: Pittsburgh. He’d immediately get chances to start making plays there and that team is a class act as far as player relationships.

"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
He's not been used that way in Oregon's offense, true
He’s good but not stellar that way. At the same time you can look at games like Auburn where he was almost entirely effective on passes or LSU where it was the same as an example of what he can do in space and catching balls.
At the very least, he has special teams experience – which if you want a position in the NFL but aren’t going to be THE GUY as the RB, you pretty much have to have.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
In the Auburn game,
Hi O-Line, you want to block for me today? No? …Oh.. Ok. I’ll see what I can do…
Not his fault he didn’t put up huge numbers, and it’s not entirley him putting up the huge numbers when he does. The team is a big part of it.
But you are all the smartest, funniest, most handsome bitches on all the internets.~DaisyDuck 11.2.11
Absolutely James
Best was an absolute beast when healthy, but he wasn’t consistently healthy even in college. I don’t think, honestly, that he’ll have much more of a career in the NFL at all. I think he might even be done now.
James has shown that he can take hits. He has at best a routine amount of injuries for the RB position, and none to his legs. He’s versatile, able to make a lot of atypical RB plays such as good blocking in the pocket and good lead blocking (one of my favorite plays from the Rose bowl was his lead block to free DAT on DAT’s second TD), as well as punt and kick returning. I don’t think he’ll be an every-down back any time soon, but I think he could easily be in the NFL for a while as a change of pace or 3rd down back, similar to how Maurice Morris is still in the NFL after 11 seasons.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score

Better coaches are available. There are some good ones out there who would love to fill the top coaching position on the west coast. Urban Meyer anyone?
Seriously, where do people get these ideas?!

moseley
has a poll up about watching the BCSNCG. Many are boycotting saying that “two teams from the SEC shouldn’t be playing.” To me it seems that they are 2 of the top 3 or 4 teams, should OSU get a shot, maybe, but they didn’t look great against Stanford, so why is it such a big deal that they are both SEC teams, they are both really good.
Personally I think it will be a boring game, but that is mostly due to the fact that the first one had no offense.
I'll likely watch it
Not like there’ll be anything else to watch. But I still hate that its a rematch.

I would be more okay with it
If the first game wasn’t quite so bad. And if there wasn’t a reasonable second team that was neck and neck with Alabama.
That being said, their performance in the Fiesta didn’t exactly convince me that the system was wrong. OKST should have lost to Stanford, period. That they didn’t was entirely due to Stanford’s incompetence at kicking and not a whole lot to do with them.
So yeah, it seems like LSU and Alabama are the two best teams, though realistically it’s that LSU was by far the best team and Alabama was the best of the next tier. I’m certainly hoping for LSU to whoop Alabama’s ass.

NATIONAL championships deserve NATIONAL match-ups.
for example,
in europe they don’t award the euro crown to the ‘soccer’ team that wins the EPL or the Barcelona v. Madrid match, even though no other nations league is on par with england, barca and madrid.
They STILL have to play games in small backwater towns throughout europe before they get to claim EURO’s crown. hell, you could live in a country without a hospital or school but if it has a soccer team and it’s in europe it gets a chance
This all sec thing, because it’s a rematch and not two teams that havent played from the sec, feels not only like the English Primiere League accepting barca and madrid into their conference and then anointing itself champions of the european league without playing the european league. It’s fucking bush league.

eventually, if i had debated with myself longer, i would eventually have to address the playoff issue. i probably would have said something to the effect of,.. it’s not necessary that a playoff exist in order to compete in the national sense im speaking of, for one could just schedule teams from conferences around the nation for example, however a playoff would certainly be sufficient and, in fact, superior but my debate (with myself) was not about playoff vs. BCS it was simply a long drawn out way of explaining why im uncomfortable with the sec rematch. it boils down to "a national champion that didn’t win their division of their conference? i don’t think so. Call it a new sec champion, FINE, but national champions, no thank you. feels like the russians claiming clear athletic superiority in an olympic games boycotted by the usa.

Ya know, that's something I hadn't thought about
Last year I…well, I was frankly horribly wrong about being upset that we got DAT when we had so many good RBs and how we were overstocking on RBs, wishing we could have landed a bit more oomph on defense.
That was wrong. Pure silliness.
Anyway, one thing that having a 5-star recruit does is apparently show other recruits like him how well they can do. Having DAT not only means we have the most ridiculous player in college right now making plays that are, frankly, absurd, but it means other players see him and go ‘wow, that’s amazing’.
Between his and Tuinei’s performance I’m not sure we could feature a better showcase for fast, agile receivers.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
And on watching his video
He’s such a good fit for Oregon’s offense. They are running the spread option at skyline, he runs routes well, takes fly sweeps and bubble screens, takes seam routes…it’s just like what he’s used to.
Nice. Good luck, guys ;)

I really like how we have been stocking up on pass-catching tight ends.
Christian French, Pharaoh Brown, and Evan Baylis are all tall, fast, and dangerous receiving threats (I am not lumping Lyerla in here because he is a fantastic blocker as well as receiver). Players such as Huff, DeAnthony, Blackmon and Sumler (as well the tight ends and incoming wideouts) are going to create a ridiculous receiving corps in the next few seasons. so long as our qb can hit them deep, our offense is going to be unstoppable.

ATQ's #1 fan of WINNING THE ROSE BOWL
While watching highlights of Thomas Johnson
a thought popped into my head and I’m curious what you all think.
Could we be seeing a shift in Chip’s style of offense? When he arrived, we were loaded with great RBs and that hasn’t really stopped. But in the last couple recruiting classes we’ve seen an influx of great receivers and balanced, passing quarterbacks, while the running backs seem to be fewer. It’s almost like the focus is shifting to creating a dangerous passing attack. Considering Chip ran a more pass-happy offense at New Hampshire, I just have to wonder if we might see a bit of a change in the coming years.
My personal answer to this inquiry is that we aren’t going to see a total shift. Hopefully we’ll see a more balanced offense that can adjust to what defenses are focused on and take advantage of different schemes from week to week (as we’ve seen with Darron as compared to Masoli), but I don’t think Chip, based on his statements of wanting to play a physical brand of football that wears teams down, will ever abandon the running game like most spread passing teams do. But I guess it wouldn’t really surprise me either, cause he’s such an innovator and willing to change and adapt to his personnel.
Thoughts?

Gus Johnson makes a simple out-rout for 20 yards
sound like a game changing kickoff return for a TD.

@OfficialMSP what @sportsbybrooks is doing to @KBDeuce4 is not fair. what an abuse of under-reporting and a shame. should report the whole story

Essentially he’s insinuating that Barner’s getting these seats through illicit means, because of course there’s no possible way he could in this world get them otherwise.

I am constantly amazed by how truly terrible SbB's page looks.
Seriously. Can anyone read any of the words inside the box in the graphics of that story? He does shit like that all the time. I don’t understand how he makes something that continually looks so terrible and decides to put it up on a site with his name and his smug-ass picture on it.

Maybe he should come take my "InDesign boot camp" class with me.

He puts his name on his articles
so he apparently doesn’t mind being linked to poor quality work.

who reads SportsByBrooks anymore? Seriously. Still waiting for Chip Kelly to be fired before the 2011-12 season. People need to give up the goose on guys like that.

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
If KJB gets over 1500 yards rushing (easy considering what LMJ did each year)
when (speaking it into existence) he’s the starter next year, he will have over 3350 yards and move into second place all time in rushing yards in a career in Oregon history. Not bad for a 3 year backup who began his career as a DB, missed half of his sophomore season to injury, and lost carries to a freshman phenom his junior year.
