Quack Fix: Ducks come up big in second half to get win against Utah, more from signing day

PrintAnother signing day come and gone, with all the promise in the world. I'm excited to see how it all shakes out on the field. Here's your quack:
- It what was a closer game than many expected, the Ducks got a 79-68 victory at Utah last night. Despite the 11-point victory, the Ducks had trouble with the Utes, and were down 49-41 at one point. Oregon started running a defensive press, and that helped the Ducks control the game down the stretch. Carlos Emory and Tony Woods had a big impact in the second half, after missing the first half due to disciplinary reasons. Woods' defensive presence helped the Oregon defense hold Utah to 32% shooting in the second half, after they shot 52% in the first half.
- One of my favorite posts from yesterday, Bob Clark had to ask people to stop sending home remedies to the athletic department to deal with Garrett Sims occasional cramping problems.
- The women's basketball team got a win last night, though they almost blew a big lead against Utah and had to hold on at the end to secure the 72-67 win.
- While this article was from yesterday, I didn't see a link to it, so here's Adam Jude's piece on the honesty of Chip Kelly's recruiting overcoming the rumors.
- Aaron Fentress has a piece on the realities of signing day, and how a lot of the players in any class will not pan out. Part of this is why I don't get too up or down on any single recruit. Recruiting is about getting as much potential as possible into your program. With every player that doesn't live up to the hype, there will be one that exceeds the hype, and I'm excited to see which players do that.
- Canzano has an article on Oshay Dunmore. It's a pretty bad article. But it's also on Dunmore, so I'm torn on this one.
- A couple good articles were out yesterday on Bralon Addison. First, he suffered a lot of grief for his last minute switch from Texas A&M. Also, here's a piece on how he and close friend Chance Allen have always wanted to play together.

So last weekend, my 9-year old, who changes her favorite color every other day
decided that she now like the color purple. Conversation carried as follows (bear in mind that we live in Vancouver, WA):
Daughter: Hey dad, is there a college that has purple as its color?
Me: Yes, but you can’t go there.
Daughter: Why not?
Me: Because even Jesus hates the Huskies.

and the advice is terrible
“be a great athlete that dominates at 3 sports, multiple positions. Make sure to win state in at least one of these. That is all you need to do”. I swear that clown belongs in a publication like People rather than a sports page, take real news and spin it so it is just about emotions and ‘how to do the right thing’, as if that exists.
That being said, I did read the article and think it is cool that a kid like Dunmore was so excited to be going to UO, hope things work out for him and he finds his spot.

Can anyone tell me
what the story is with Jim Tressel? Did he get the coaching version of the NCAA death penalty for tOSU’s violations? I didn’t even know they did that – how long is the sentence?
ATQ's #1 fan of WINNING THE ROSE BOWL
I believe he has a 5 year "order to show cause"
My understanding is that, if an NCAA institution wants to hire him, they have to petition, write a letter, etc. stating why they think Tressel can and should be hired. The NCAA has final say over whether or not Tressel can be hired.

Not only that but
Whatever school hires him faces the sanctions he incurred meaning he’d miss the first 5 games and the school would be banned from post season play for a couple years. So basically yea Death Penalty because nobody in their right mind is going to willingly submit to something like that.

Has anyone found tape of Braylon Addison catching passes?
I know we recruted him as an ATH (with QB aspirations), but all the tape I’ve seen is of him at QB. Did the media make a mistake (I know, it never happens) and lump him and his friend, Chance Allen (who is a receiver), together?

Well,
Addison didn’t catch a whole lot of passes in high school. He is super athletic, so I’m pretty sure they played him at QB to run the Denard Robinson offense; in other words just take direct snaps and run all over the place because you’re faster than everyone else, and sometimes throw too. This is almost exactly what Josh Huff did in high school.
He projects at receiver, but because of his versatility I bet that we see him lined up all over the place.

Greg Oden’s knees fell apart again. If you are driving though downtown Portland today please show extra caution when crossing the bridges. The flow of Trailblazer fans over the railing is higher than usual today.
Yeah, debris cleanout on a knee that hasn't done anything other than limp around
and put on suit pants for bench sitting is not a positive thing. How did debris get there if he hasn’t even practiced since Dec 2009? Oh well, he made tens of millions, time to go back to school and get a regular guy job.
What kind of ‘regular guy job’ is there for a 7-foot-tall 25 year old millionaire with no knees? Maybe he could paint himself silver and sit like a statue in downtown Portland.
Don't you think that'd be a little bit too strenuous on his knees?

A fan tweeting to a PSA is a secondary violation, bu this is not?
An Arkansas fan also tried to make a pitch to the Beckhams. Although Tracy Beckham insisted her family was never offered anything against NCAA rules, she said it received a call from a Razorbacks booster.
"If there’s anything I can do for you, you let us know," Tracy Beckham recalled the booster saying.
Huh?
My parents believed in me.
Or this
The next day, when Dorial and his family arrived to watch the Missouri’s men’s basketball team play, the crowd roared. Before the game, there were fliers in the stands that said, "Mizzou has brought in the #1 ranked football player in the entire COUNTRY for today’s game . . . We’re changing the MIZ . . . ZOU chant today to MIZ . . . DGB. Please let Dorial feel the love and welcome him home to MIZZOU!!"
The chant rang out during the game, some students wore gold MIZ-DGB T-shirts, and there was even a giant cutout of Dorial’s head.
My parents believed in me.
While that reeks of desperation, I guess I see that as a useful loophole. A school gets a better shot to land a top recruit while one more kid has a scholarship in hand. Not a bad deal.
It’s all the other stuff that seems way over the top.

The problem is
The NCAA doesn’t really exist. They don’t have an army of investigators to go out and look into this stuff. If it blows up in a magazine they send somebody to check it out, but otherwise the organization is powerless. I think the stuff in this article is not unusual, at least in the south, but who is going to report it if not the people benefiting from it? Rival coaches have to be careful because they’re doing the same damn thing. Students and fans and boosters want the players. The player himself isn’t going to turn down all that stuff just to point out that the recruiting system is broken and ridiculous.
Until the NCAA makes major changes and invests in investigators and actual penalty for crazy recruiting benefits, we’ll see stories like this every few years when some kid is dumb enough to spill the beans to the media.
The school being involved would be
if it were, say, the pit crew fliers that had these instructions on them, no violation.

two factors
-The interludes of chaotic music between the choruses would make it hard to arrange. THe choruses are great, but there is too much that would have to be manipulated.
-I don’t think it would be recognizable, or particularly compelling without Anthony Kiedis singing.
But, with that said, arranging a piece into a basketball band arrangement is more about the creativity of the arranger and their ability to make it recognizable. I have seen a few pieces that were great, that I would not have guessed could have been arranged.
So
I’m not disagreeing with you, but… would any of what you just said be any different than the OMB’s interpretation of Party Rock USA? They massaged that a great deal, and it turned out pretty well.
At least, I think. If I’m wrong, then I DON’T KNOW I’M JUST THE MATH GUY SHUT UP —

I don't see the similarity
Not to be a jerk, party rock anthem has a consistent beat all the way through, a really recognizable, musical chorus, and verses that you can be converted to instruments fairly well. In the Chili peppers song, take the first 45 seconds, there is a beat that would work, and you have anthony singing, but there is nothing else you can do. For all intents and purposes (and I know this will make musicians mad) the background is just guitar screeching and you really can’t do that with a band. The chorus is good, but the middle parts would be hard.
Also, As soon as you hear the band play the chorus to Party Rock Anthem, you know it, it’s easy to use to get people out of their seats. Who knows the chilli peppers song? And does it make you want to cheer for your ducks.
My only point
is that the verses had to be converted, and that they’re actually rather different in their OMB iteration than in the original mix. There was some work required to make it come together, and this work was done (and highly successful), but I think the end product is far removed from a straight transliteration of PRA into band instruments.
That said, the other two knocks — not being well-known, and possibly not being a crowd-motivator — are totally valid, IMO.

But Party Rock Anthem has very recognizable hooks within it. This song is very simple, and low. There aren’t a lot of parts in it.
It’s like saying I have flour and eggs. Could that make a delicious 7-layer chocolate cake?
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
My only point is that some significant adaptation was still required.
I think that by far the most recognizable hook of PRA is this, whose OMB analogue turned into this. They’re significantly different, because the former requires an emphasis on sounds — frequencies, in fact — that marching bands just don’t produce. The adaptation worked well, to be clear, but my only point was that adaptation was required.
What the OMB does is similar enough to the original that you can definitely tell what they’re going for, but the hook had to be rethought significantly to make it band-ready.
But anyway, yeah — if recognizability’s the knock on the RHCP song, then I buy it.

That definitely goes to the hook
It has to be recognizable enough that your brain can tie the song and what the band is playing together and I doubt enough people would be able to with the RHCP song to make it worth it.
Sure.
That makes sense.

You don't hear the entire Party Rock Anthem, or very many full length songs in OMB, GGB, any pep/marching band scenario.
