Quack Fix: Ducks will fight for postseason against Colorado, SBNation launches YouTube channel
by jtlight on Feb 29, 2012 6:49 AM PST
in Morning Quack Fix
Email
PrintIt's Wednesday, so you know what that means, you can go download last night's Tuesday Night Talk. Based on the poll that has popped up, sounds like it went off topic a bit, so definitely worth a listen.
And since it's a slow day for Quack, a little SBNation announcement. SBNation has launched a youtube channel, in a special partnership with Youtube, and will be producing a ton of great content. Dan Rubenstien (of the Solid Verbal) and Matt Ufford (of Warming Glow and Kissing Suzy Kolber) are just a couple of the big names that have joined the network specifically to create content for the channel. Here's a promo video from Matt and Dan, and here's one from Spencer Hall and Jason Kirk (who will be covering college football). I'm excited to see all the new videos. I've already subscribed, and you should too. Alright, let's get to the quack:
- We got another huge basketball game tomorrow night. The Ducks take on Colorado, for a battle for the top 4 in the conference. Whoever wins this game will almost definitely get a bye in the conference tournament. Not much to say about this one. After a tough loss in Boulder earlier this season, the Ducks know what they have to do.
- The Ducks have had a very successful season so far, and may get to see some individual awards coming to some very deserving players. But Bob Clark writes the Devoe Joseph, E.J. Singler, and Garrett Sim might split the votes of Pac-12 coaches.
- With 20 wins (and counting), in previous years one might assume that Oregon was a lock for the NCAA tournament. But with the Pac-12 struggling, the Ducks still have a lot to do. But Dana Altman doesn't think the Pac-12 is that down, and on his conference call yesterday, talked about how he thinks the league will grow.
- Speaking of Pac-12 basketball, when UCLA is down, the Pac-12 is down. Sports Illustrated has an article coming out today on what has brought the program down. Bruins Nation had an early look from the iPad app, and reacts to Ben Howland's mismanagement of the program. Update: [Here's the link to the full SI article, now online.]
- We'll have to wait one more day for the baseball home opener. The game last night was rained out, and has been rescheduled for May 23 at PK Park. Oregon's first home game will be Friday night against Long Beach State.
Help out your fellow addicts, and drop any other quack in the comments. GO DUCKS!

It's not so hot
It’s stereo, not 5.1 and the pic quality is decidedly not HD. It’s not horrible, but it’s not great and there’s a lot of pixellation.
Still, watching DAT’s runs again with all the commentary and everything was awesome. Got a little choked up when I saw LMJ’s first great run too.
If I could kiss Nick Holt, I would. Though, with him, I’m sure it would end in deep penetration and a score
Yeah
I’m disappointed with the quality, but this game way too momentous and precious to return the DVD. I’m glad you (or someone else) posted the reduced price on Amazon. I’d be pissed if I paid 5-10 dollars more.

Great read on BN and SI about the decline of UCLA basketball in the links above
While I don’t follow their coaching situation well enough to offer an opinion on Howland the article is quite thorough and damning. I’m sure the AD and President’s office is overwhelmed with concerned alumni and donors. It goes to show that no matter the heights your program once reached poor management and coaching can always bring a program down (looking at you ND).
It is an interesting world where young people have no reason to think that UCLA is good at basketball or ND has any football tradition.
Ha! That's totally the guy that complained of "physical" and "dirty" play in a post-game interview after a game at MKA last season.
Now we learn he allegedly bullied and beat the shit out of his own teammates? Perhaps he didn’t like when we fought back?

I have a friend who knew UCLA's AD at his previous job
He describes him as a “nice guy who is in WAY over his head at UCLA.”
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It just seems odd...
When you watched Howland’s teams when he first got there, they were hard-nosed, defensive minded teams. He was running up and down the sideline with his hands in the air like a madman screaming at his team to play defense. And they seemed to match that intensity.
The last couple of years it just seems like they’ve been noticeably lazy. Prima Donnas can do that to your team, but I really thought Howland was a better coach than that and could get control of his team. But I guess not. It just seems so weird how fast they’ve fallen.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
If you read the article, it seems that the lack of control has nothing to do with his actual coaching ability, which must be fantastic. It has more to do with the attitude of the players he’s recruited, and his inability to manage them and teach them as young men, not just as basketball players.
Howland is the exact opposite type of coaching genius as Chip Kelly.

While this isn't going to help Cliff
I also don’t think it’s the end of the world. I mean, Javier Arenas ran a 4.6. Syd’Quan Thompson ran a 4.62. Obviously there are a million examples you can give of players who ran faster than that who were successful. But I’m not trying to prove a correlation. All I’m saying is that a 4.6 40-yd dash doesn’t mean certain doom.
The things I’ve noticed on his draft profiles on multiple sites have been things like fluidity of his hips, his ball skills, his instincts, etc. I personally think for Cliff it’s going to come down to the interviews and what they find in the background checks. If they talk to Chip and Chip says, “listen, he’s not that bad of a kid, I just had to kick him off the team because enough was enough. He was a good teammate and locker room guy. He accepted feedback and was coachable. I really do think he’s salvagable.” I think we’ll see him get drafted late. If they say that he’s an idiot and a ticking timebomb, he probably won’t.
It’s going to be REALLY hard for teams to pass on him late if they need a cover corner though. Think about this. Let’s say a team thinks there’s at least a chance that Cliff performs at the late-first round performance that he was being projected at the beginning of last season before his troubles. Jimmy Smith, the last CB taken in the first round last year, made $7.5M. The last pick of the first round made about $6.5M. So let’s split the difference and say a CB taken at the end of the first round is worth $7M.
Using a really basic ROI calculation, if a team pays $2.15M (6th round CB from last year) for a player that plays at the $7M level, they are getting a 225% return on their money. And in Cliff’s case, a team could bring him in for camp and cut him if they don’t like him. So they only have to pay the guaranteed portion, or $113,000. That’s a 6000%+ return on their initial investment.
Bottom line, I don’t think the numbers at the combine are going to end up being that big of a deal, for Cliff, LaMichael, or any of the others for that matter. But we’ll see.

I have found Pinterest to be even better at understanding/spying on people than Facebook
You actually have to write something about how you feel/what you’re into on Facebook, whereas with Pinterest you just click on it. You can really learn a lot about someone by browsing their Pinterest.
Basic example: my buddy’s sister had a bunch of wedding stuff on her Pinterest. A few days later, there’s a bunch of baby stuff. A few days later we find out from her that she has “met someone” and is pregnant.
I have learned some really disturbing things about people from Pinterest.

I'm sure he meant 2-0
International football has different rules, judging by the time (65th minute) they are obviously in Overtime. In international ball though it’s not sudden death, so even though the US scored a safety (It’s an easy mistake to think this is a 1 point play), Itally has ~10 minutes to score left in the Over Time Quarter.

Admittedly, the gap isn't that wide, and they do different things for the national team.

Well watching Dempsey play for Fulham he just seems like you said a more versatile player.
Playing in that attacking midfielder role is really difficult and he really has the knack of getting in right positions and linking play.
by FromAutzenWithLove on Feb 29, 2012 2:12 PM PST up reply actions
Exactly
Whereas Donovan at Everton is more of a pacey winger, which he actually does very well. I just admire that creative midfield role a bit more, plus Dempsey is also a good striker when he plays more forward. And he mixes it up defensively, whereas Donovan often doesn’t track back to play defense. Also, if Donovan’s marked out of a game he can tend to give up on it, and I never see Dempsey do that.

How much of a resume can a college freshman have, anyway?
Demonstrate efficiency (not to mention your environmental friendliness) by putting it on the smallest possible paper format. Say, 5×7. I’m sure it will fit.
Regarding pictures: these can work if you are a hottie looking for a job under a middle-aged middle manager. This might be hard to pull off in your case.
I like the feather boa idea, though, so if there is room on that 5×7 resume for an image of you sporting one, go for it.

On a totally unrelated note……penalty kick goals should not count as normal goals for stat tracking and record purposes.

OT Serious question:
New NFL overtime rules (playoffs) state that a game is not ended on a field goal on the first possession, the opposing team has an opportunity to play offense now. However, If a TD is scored on the initial drive that DOES end the game sudden death style.
What about the 3rd possibility? Would a Safety on the first drive of OT result in a sudden death loss? Or would the victimized team have to punt the ball back to the other team to give them an offensive possession?
I think it would be hilarious to see a team lose by 2 early in OT where if they’d given up a FG instead they would have a chance!
But you are all the smartest, funniest, most handsome bitches on all the internets.~DaisyDuck 11.2.11
I believe it would, because the losing team would have had the ball on offense
It’d be the same as a fumble recovery or Int return for a touchdown.
I believe the main purpose of the rule is to ensure a team can’t win by a long field goal without the other team having an opportunity first to score.

The one where they go caravaning was absolute gold. I cried laughing at the end.
Oh yeah.
HIGH-larious.

It's great stuff.
Go ahead and run around with your off-season rumors. I'll be at the corner of Wait and 'C'.

I love idiot abroad
The first couple episode of the new season weren’t as good as last season, IMO. But the last couple have been hilarious.

And the tongue wagging
as a wing walker. You just waiting for him to yell “you &&$&#$&*’s” and then it happens.

His facial expressions during the Cuddle Party leader’s speech before it started were priceless.

Hair Helmet thinks LMJ did well at the combine.
Mel Kiper Jr. @MelKiperESPN Follow
Big winners from the Combine – LaMichael James, Stephen Hill, Cordy Glenn, Fletcher Cox, Dontari Poe, Luke Kuechly, Josh Robinson.
This guy’s tweet didn’t make sense until I clicked through and saw that he’s Chris Polk’s agent:
Steve Caric @CaricsportsmgtPolk of course actually ran 4.57 (minor detail), and at 215 pounds he reportedly wasn’t in very good shape – a doughy 215. LaMike of course beat Polk in every drill – running, jumping, agility – that they both participated in.
@MelKiperESPN Chris Polk & Owusu big winners in Indy. Polk weighed in at 215 & ran 4.46. Owusu top 8 in every WR category with 4.36 40.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
It still sounds to me that Eddie Pleasant had one of the best combines of anyone.
He was near the top of everything for safeties.

Now you are calling them either Sirens, a Cyclops, or Posieden.

Never too soon for a reply fail, my good man.
I would have also accepted: “I loved him in those 21 Jump Street pirate movies.”

Did they really remake a shit TV show from the 80s into a shit film in 2012?
For Oregon, King Kelly, and St Quack!
Of course they did.
The rub is that the film actually looks pretty funny (being as its a comedy with Jonah Hill and all).
My parents believed in me.
Question for HRD
Do you know anything about the school’s in Hood River? If so, what’s your opinion?
My parents believed in me.
I know some.
Like all Oregon public schools, they’re suffering from budget cuts upon budget cuts. But (probably) since it’s a small, largely liberal, and mostly affluent community, there is a lot of parent, family and local business involvement that helps in supporting the schools, sports, and other extracurricular activities. So they’ve got that going for them, which is nice. I believe HR Valley High has one of the highest graduation rates in the state.

Looking at a potential move and for some acreage
After researching HR property values, I can say I was a bit surprised at the price point. There’s always Parkdale I guess….
My parents believed in me.
Yeah, it's frustrating.
I love it in town, but up the valley—Parkdale/Mt. Hood, Mosier, Odell are all plenty nice. They get a lot more snow. But they’re still really gorgeous (OMG GET IT) places, and socially speaking, Hood River County is all one big community. Plenty of folks who work at the hospital live in Parkdale and the surrounding towns. Very importantly, there is a great microbrew pub there (changing ownership atm, it used to be Elliott Glacier Pub).

re the basball rainout yesterday
It was obvious that, as of 4pm or so, it was going to be a washout. However, the msg. on
the rainout ph. #, as late as 5:10, said the game was on. That’s when I checked goduck.com, which confirmed that it was cancelled. So if you’re coming from out of town, the info was unreliable. Just a heads up, check the website to be sure. Someone needs to contact them to change that msg…..ok, I will.
