Quack Fix: Basketball takes down Beavs, Baseball sweeps Vanderbilt

It was a pretty great weekend for Oregon sports. Yeah, the NCAA investigation into the football team is still ongoing, but at least it'll be over sometime soon. In good news, the basketball and baseball teams both got the job done on the road.
- Oregon's hopes for a spot in the NCAA tournament are still alive, as they squeaked by OSU 74-73 at Gill Coliseum last night. Garrett Sim kept the Ducks in it early with 25 points, and Devoe Joseph and E.J. Singler came alive in the second half. The Ducks staked out a couple large leads in the second half, but the Beavs never went away and had a chance to tie it up late, but a last second three came up short, giving the Ducks the victory. This sets up a huge game on Thursday night against Colorado, who knocked off Cal last night to stay tied for 4th in the conference with the Ducks.
- George Schroeder praises the return of the rivalry between Oregon and OSU. It was a chippy game, with physical play throughout, and a few altercations. Garrett Sim and Jared Cunningham were called for offsetting technical fouls (which gave Cunningham 3 fouls halfway through the first half), and Ahmad Starks was called for a flagrant foul for shoving Garrett Sim down on a fast break. While it was an ugly game to watch at times, it was good to watch both teams battle.
- After a scary game and a half that had me thinking "here we go again" the Oregon baseball team is absolutely killing it. After dropping their first game, they are on a 7-game winning streak, averaging over 8 runs per game. The Ducks closed out the series against 17th ranked Vanderbilt with a 7-6 win, getting some huge hits late to take the lead, and then holding on late after Vandy threatened late. The Ducks open at home on Tuesday night against Portland.
- The Ducks are at the combine, and LaMichael James has had a strong showing so far. While his 40 time (good for 2nd best among running backs) is slightly disappointing, he showed his athleticism across the board. SI.com named him a "riser," though unfortunately Darron Thomas was named a "slider" after a not so great performance. James was also listed as a "top performer" is four of the six combine drills.
- Good ol' Cliff Harris. He's at the combine as well, though hasn't participated in drills yet. But he's been going through interviews, and called his driving issues "bonehead" mistakes. Hopefully he has finally learned and will be able to move forward from his time at Oregon.
- It's not all great news for Oregon athletics. The women's basketball team continued to slide as they fell 68-53 to OSU, causing Joe from Autzen Zoo to call for the firing of coach Paul Westhead.
- We talked a bit over the weekend about Oregon's NCAA violation document dump, and speculated a bit on what could happen to the Ducks. No one has a clue so far, though Joey Kaufman speculates at Pacific Takes that Oregon won't get hit with USC-level sanctions. This seems to be what most expect. Ted Miller guessed that Oregon will not get horribly punished, but won't get a slap on the wrist either.

LMJ's 40 time
Do yal really believe that Lamike’s time is disappointing? It is an official 4.45 40, with his unofficial being two 4.37’s. In my opinion he ran a solid 40 yard dash.
It’s disappointing because “everyone” runs a 4.4 out of high school.

those are unnoficial times though (hand timed)
When Oregon does their 40’s in the spring everyone’s time look slow compared to other schools because we electronic time them and others hand time them
Who cares what his unofficial was? His official time was 4.45. That’s a number that won’t help him on many draft boards.
Not that the 40 time specifically matters, and he had a very good combine overall, but I would have liked to see him put up a better time.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Agreed. At his stature he needed to show real burning speed to move up into the top 2 rds
While tied for 2nd fastest for a RB is not slow, he is also one of the smallest guys there. J-Stew ran about the same 40 at 30-40lbs heavier
That honestly surprised me. On the track, LMJ was significantly faster. Stewart is obviously no slouch, but LMJ was at a different level.
40 times are greatly overblown though. It’s not often that someone gets to showcase that type of running style, and if you do, few RBs are going to catch someone at Stewart or LMJs level.

I don’t know what they were though.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
[Will Auction Off Sig To Highest Bidder]
There's been some press lately from NFL execs
saying that they don’t weigh the 40 times as much as people think. That stuff is for the media and the fans, or so they say. What does a few tenths of second mean in reality? Nothing.
My parents believed in me.
It means nothing when comparing LMJ to, say, my chubby sedentary self
if he ran a 4.3 or a 4.8, he would still be a real fast guy among us normal folks. I think it does matter a lot when you are talking elite athletes that are all super fast. A few tenths is the difference between getting caught in the backfield by an OLB vs taking it the house around the corner past blazing fast NFL safeties
There is a big difference between a timed 40 and on field speed though.
A timed 40 is really dependent on start technique and timing.
It's all relevant
the numbers really mean nothing. They could all run 6 second 40’s and as long as LMJ was still faster, that’s all that matters.
The difference between the hand timed 4.37 and the official 4.5 is only 0.08 seconds. That’s the time it taxes for a thumb to depress a stop watch button. So, 4.37 is good and suddenly 4.5 is disappointing? That’s ridiculous.
Furthermore, 0.08 seconds is not the difference between being caught or taking one to the house. So many more things factor into that.
Why don’t they make them run in full pads? Or on a track surface with spikes and starting blocks?
My parents believed in me.
It's dissapointing because both unofficial times were outstanding
had his official time been sub 4.4- he would be rocketing up draft boards right now…
at 4.45 he is a very fast running back like everyone assumed he was.
I still think he ends up a late second round pick of someonce with a creative offense. He does too many things very well.
If he slides in the draft
it won’t be because of his 40 time. It will be because of his size and questions about durability and whether someone wants to spend a draft pick on what most consider a 3rd down back. RB’s have been taken later in the draft over the years, as many teams have found good RB’s as undrafted free agents.
My parents believed in me.
Do people realize how small the difference is between a 4.45 and a 4.37?
A 4.37 time in the 40 means it takes 10.925 seconds to run 100 yards. A 4.45 time in the 40 means it takes 11.125 seconds to run 100 yards. That means that if a player with a 4.37 40 raced a player with a 4.45 40, in theory the faster player would be roughly 5 feet in front of the slower player after 100 yards, or a little more than 2 feet after 40 yards. Is that really going to be the difference maker?
I know where I come from, and when you always have in mind where you come from the rest will be easy. I think the rest will be easy.
-- M. Rivera
Unfortunately, you can’t just take a 40 time as a constant over 100. You can’t take a 20 yard time, and double it to equal a 40 yard time.
I think what scouts are really looking for is how long it takes for them to accelerate to top speed. And that could be a huge difference.
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
Is 5 feet a big difference? Absolutely.
you can’t tackle a guy 5 feet in front of you. Randy Moss and Chris Johnson are .08 seconds faster then the CB/S chasing them. Result is a TD. No one is saying “OMG, LaFatty is so slow, he is terrible” but having him be the fastest at the combine would have helped improve his stock against larger, brawnier RBs. As it is at 4.45 he probably doesn’t change much.
But that's 5 feet over 100 yards
My point is that the 40 time is completely overrated. It’s more about acceleration and ability to change direction, as JShufelt alludes to above.
I know where I come from, and when you always have in mind where you come from the rest will be easy. I think the rest will be easy.
-- M. Rivera
Here’s the thing – everyone here was extremely happy when they heard he ran a 4.37. So it obviously means something. Now that it’s “just” a 4.45, everyone is saying that it doesn’t mean anything. We can’t have it both ways. Either it means something or it doesn’t.
LMJ is fast, but he’s a bit undersized for the NFL. He’ll probably go in the middle rounds somewhere, he’ll work his butt off, and eventually he’ll make some team very, very happy.

Not everybody
I put no stock in the hand timed 40’s and very little stock in them overall. What only matters is what other guys run and how they relate to one another.
My parents believed in me.
Well, it was a generalization. Sorry to lump everybody in there.

It's disappointing because it doesn't help him
It doesn’t hurt him much, but it’s not going to make people go WOW. It’s about what was expected, give or take.
At the combine the actual values don’t matter so much as the expected values compared to the actual. It’s more important that you do what you were expected to do – that shows at least some work ethic and competence. Now, if you do way better than what was expected, you can get some good looks – Cousins and Poe are good examples of that. If you do worse than expected, you can fall due to what it says about your work ethic and preparation.
LMJ did basically about as well as was expected. He was at the top of the lists as far as speed for this class but not insanely fast for a RB. He was in the top 5 in agility drills. He was in the bottom in bench presses. Nothing that made him stand out more, nothing that made him decline. I guess I was disappointed because honestly I expected him to blow people away, but that was just my hopes.
It’s kinda like college; very rarely does the education itself pay off as far as getting a job, but most employers want to see a college degree because it shows that you were willing to go through four years of school and hard work.
I still think that they should do it in pads.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
The problem as I see it
Everybody saw 4.37 and thought “Whoa, faster than we thought!” Then the “real” time was released and all of a sudden he’s … slow.
It’s not HIS fault the hand-timed results were that far off. (Apparently .08 is a HUGE discrepancy that hardly ever happens, at least if you believe Fentress on the twitters.)
I've been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation of the sequel to my life.
Huh, I always thought that hind-timing can regularly be up to .2 seconds off.

I still thought 4.37 was not super fast
At least not for what he needed to do to move up. I think that he’d need to have like receiver level speed to really go higher in the draft.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Didn't he say he was in the 4.2s?

I tend to think we’ll lose some scholarships and maybe lose some recruiting privileges for a bit. But a bowl ban isn’t out of the question.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
My ignorant opinion below, in descending order of likeliness
1- NCAA thinks we over-reached the limits of what scouts can do, getting inside personal info on recruits through a shady service more focused on personal relationships than on football and other trying-too-hard in recruiting violations. Results in probation and a few scholly reductions. If the report we just read is the whole story this seems right.
2) NCAA believes we were knowingly paying Lyles for the express purpose of encouraging kids he had influence over to go to Oregon. Guess we’d get a 1 yr bowl ban plus a few schollys, and I would have a big sad
3) If they have evidence that any money ended up going from Lyles to one of those recruits to go to UO, we are royally screwed USC style with multi year bans, Kelly fired etc. No evidence of this in the report we’ve read, this was the doomsday scenario popular with Bavers etc that is seeming less likely every day. News of that nature would have leaked or been included/hinted in this most recent report.
My warm blanket
Is the fact that Chip could have jumped ship and didn’t. He knows what went down, knows the evidence, he knows what the NCAA is thinking. He stayed, I would assume, because he knows it won’t be that bad.

A student gave me a paper to look over for another class. It’s an argument paper regarding pay for play for college student athletes. Imagine my surprise (and uncontrollable giggling) when I came across this gem:
Tako, a sports writer, states, "College sports are team play, and hustle. I could care less about the NBA playoffs, because who honestly wants to watch a bunch of overpaid superstars half-ass it for 44 minutes, playing selfish, show-off basketball? I’d rather watch a team of five guys (or girls) working together every second of every game," (SB nation). Many other people like Tako feel the same way[…]Hey Tako, you’re a sportswriter now! And many other people feel the way you do!

And of course OSU refuses to take responsibility for the loss

I missed the but. I think the but was already dropped.

He's right though, the calls were horrible.
The problem is with his implication that the Ducks were benefiting from the calls though, which we obviously weren’t.
Things like that.
Here's the video of Robinson's soon-to-be 10K presser
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
[Will Auction Off Sig To Highest Bidder]
His biggest complaint is about the "treatment"
Which is BS. Refs shouldn’t treat players differently because they are considered “stars.” It was obvious that OSU was going to make this a physical game from the beginning, and because they got called for that, shouldn’t be on the refs. The bright spot to me was that Oregon never shied away from that physical play. Olu and Emory were monsters on the boards and Sim took the challenge on the outside.
The All I Saw Was Green Blog, that's it I'm telling SBN legal
They were inconsistent as hell, but to say that Cunningham didn't get any star calls is bullish for 3 reasons
A) He was in mega super foul trouble for a long time, mainly due to the technical. Based on that, does Robinson think a star player should get leeway when shoving an opposing player in a huddle?
B) Did you not see when he got the “horizontal diving call” late in the game, Craig?
C) You’re also insinuating that star players should get star treatment. How many FTs did Devoe Joseph shoot?
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
[Will Auction Off Sig To Highest Bidder]
Look, you all know I have an annoying tendency to jump on officials, considering that all P12 officials are generally inept.
I was in Corvallis. I saw OSU getting a lot of 50-50 out of bounds calls. Frankly, I can only think of 2 calls where Robinson would have a reasonable beef, and neither involved Cunningham.
1: Starks’ intentional on Sim. Kind of hard to call that intentional when he could have easily been strafing/diving for the ball. 50/50 call that probably went the wrong way.
2: The dueling actors at the end of the game (Olu and Collier(?). Both were looking for the foul call, Olu got it.50/50 call.
I’m not sure Robinson can talk though until he proves that it’s physically reasonable for Jeremy Jacob to, from a standing position, generate enough force to send Joe Burton flying through the air. He’s got a good physics program there, I’ll be waiting…
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
[Will Auction Off Sig To Highest Bidder]
Starks intentional on Sim was spot on. The replay from that end of the court was extremely clear. Starks put both hands in Sim’s back and pushed. There was no attempt to go for the ball at all. I don’t think it was 50/50 at all, not even with Beaver-colored glasses.
--Dominic, Addicted to Quack
Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
The thing about that call also, is how he pushed. He pushed down, in a way that could have seriously injured Sim if he he caught his foot or something. It was a totally dick move, and there is no doubt it should have been intentional. It was 100% clear on the replay.

What about the intrinsic value
of a sold-out Matt?
Someone with a cost accounting background could easily reach a break-even figure given the average attendance minus season tickets.
What are ticket prices now and how much would you have to charge to fill those seats to break even? Then you charge an extra 2 bucks a seat (or so) to ensure an extra 6 grand (guess).
The main concern would be that if the ending figure to “assure” a sell-out was still too high, what do you do then? I would propose letting students have a shot at the unsold seats at a substantial discount – say 50% of the new figure.
If we “lose money,” so be it – students have been shafted, cost-wise, for too long.

We brought a bit of a mobile Pit Crew to the game (though a few of the guys went a bit over the line for visiting fans IMO, especially immediately following the game, and almost got slugged for it). I did have fun yelling “Use your noodles!” at the fans behind the OSU basket though.
The fans around us were nice about it thankfully. I shook hands with a dad and his boys after the game and commended the kids on their sportsmanship. The guy who pelted us with those Hot Tamale candies and was trying to goad us into fighting? Notsomuch.

The opposite didn't happen
Specialist KRs in the NFL did not do as well as they have in prior years. KR TDs were down in 2011, return yardage was about the same but position was down and the number of returns were down.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Well, my bad.
But I really don’t think that this is going to be all that big of a deal. First, college kickers only started kicking from the 30 in 2007, so we’ll just be reverting to before that. When the move was made in 06-07, that impacted college football as a whole, but it didn’t affect Jonathan Stewart almost at all. He had the same number of returns, with slightly fewer yards.
The other thing is, most college kickers will still struggle to get touchbacks. They won’t be getting it 8-9 yards deep or out of the end zone with any regularity. And while the extra 5 yards will be incentive for poor returning teams to take the touchback, it will also be incentive for good returning teams to pooch it (even though they can’t quite get the running start they could before).
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
And it might add some time onto the other end of his life.

Not at all
I am pleased. We have a much better kicking game than a kickoff return game which is much much better than our kickoff coverage game.
Our two biggest wins of the year (ND and Oregon) both almost turned on opponent kickoff returns, and our kicker is going to boom plenty of touchbacks now.

I would watch NASCAR if they weren't such pussies about driving in the rain.
Doesn’t stop F1, but a little rain just shuts down all them Amurrican good ol’ boys and girl.
