Unger and Reed - SI's All-Americans

Unger and Reed were named to the second team All-American.

Not a big surprise, but they haven't been getting as much love from some other people.

While our OSU neighbors didn't get any on the list, Jacquizz and Straughter were honorable mentions. Other than that, if you weren't going to USC, you didn't get named from the Pac-10.

5. He HATES Oranges. He turns into a mindless beast when he sees them. Heaven forbid he ever makes it into the Orange Bowl.

6. His first name is a food. His last name is a color. That's gotta mean something (By Takimoto)

8. He's been called a "mastermind". Do you Really want THIS MAN running your football team????

via www.conversationmarketing.com

I wouldn't. (By Takimoto)

10. He HATES the ACL. I mean, look at all the knee injuries Oregon has had over the last two years! Sheesh!

10. He taught me how to count to 10 quickly by skipping pointless numbers like "9". He’ll teach this to all your players! Don’t be like me, count to ten properly!

12. He runs the Zone Read way too much. (By Funk) How boring is that? I mean - it's like ALL the time. Can you maybe throw in a dive, or offset tackle?

13. He leaves Fullbacks unemployed. In today's economy, it's cruel to discriminate against these lead blockers. Think of the fullbacks!

14. He doesn't use his TE's enough. (By Charles Barkley McLovin) What does he think they are? Decoration?!?

15. Doesn't use deodorant enough! (By echris) Have you ever heard of Kelly actually given someone a hug? Of course not! Nobody has survived the putrid sour cheese and stale salted peanut armpit smell.

16. He spreads hatred. You know that one Big East team that you respect? Prepare to be immensely hated by them. They won't like you. In fact, nobody will like you guys.

17. He’s a secret Islamic terrorist. Or at least is palling around with them! (Paraphrased; originally from butthol)

18. As head coach, his salary would be so much, not even Nike Founder Phil Knight could afford him! (The VD Special)

19. His ultimate goal is to break a scoreboard. It isn’t that he likes football; he just has some strange vendetta against scoreboards. And do you know how expensive those things are?

20. He likes listening to Hansen, The Jonas Brothers, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and Aqua. He’s a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie world.

27. He secretly wants to run an A-11 offense.

28. He doesn’t pass the ball enough. I mean, he’ll have the wide receivers out there, but they are just skinny tall running backs in a strange position. He’ll even use your star tackle as a pitch option. I’m pretty sure that’s a sign of insanity.

29. He doesn’t run the ball enough. I mean, he’ll have some stellar back, and he’ll be all "Let’s throw it!" What an idiot! You don’t want that!

31. What’s your favorite color? Chip Kelly hates it!

33. He’ll make your mascot cry.

34. After giving you two years, he’ll probably just go off to some other school like… Clemson or something. Didn’t they steal your color? You should probably start hating them if you don’t already.

35. Chip is probably French or Cherokee, so he doesn’t get along well with Onondaga or other Iroquois tribes.

36. Our coordinators come in a package. You’ll need to take our Defensive Coordinator too.

38. Kelly is one of those "Linix" guys. Last time I checked, I don’t think Syracuse was open source.

40. Dennis Dixon calls him "The Guru". Everyone on the team will need to become Buddhists. If Syracuse doesn’t have a temple, you better get crackin’ if you want him to come. He’s very particular too. It needs to be a handmade fire brick building.

41. Kelly was on the cover of playboy. Talk about baggage! Oh – wait… different Kelly. How embarrassing!

59. Uze teh gramer & speling of jr. hi girlz txt’ng. Lolz.

60. He’ll cost the Big East MILLIONS of dollars. By beating Oregon State, he insured that the Pac-10 would not get the payout of having two teams in the BCS Bowls. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!

61. Keeps all his plays on generic brand sticky notes. Those things don’t adhere to ANYTHING.

The strangest request ever

JShufelt — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:12:23 -0000

I need your best, and worst critism of Chip Kelly.

This is not some lame attempt to flame, cause flames, or get any fire related words to happen.

I've got several listed already, but I figured that of anyone that would be able to point out flaws (No matter how ridiculous, or fictitious they might be.), it would be you guys.

Plus, how often does a duck fan request that you make fun of his OC?

Think of it as a little early revenge if you want.

The only thing i ask is that everyone keeps it clean. (No flame troll pot stirring, or swearing)

No need to worry about facts. Actually, the further from the truth, the better!

ESPN: Pac-10 team recruiting needs

Scouts/ESPN lists Oregon as needing Guards, Defensive Tackles, and Running Backs.

By the Numbers; Pac-10 Red Zone Defense

JShufelt — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 07:38:23 -0000

So to help with the down time, I figured I would crunch a few numbers on a rarely used, but extremely telling statistics. Many duck fans don't like Nick Allotti's defensive schemes. While Bellotti often calls it "Bend but don't break defense", apparently Allotti doesn't care for that title.

Call it whatever you want, it definitely doesn't match what old typical Big-12 teams would call a "Good Defense". Ted Miller touched in this a bit in his mail bag earlier this week. 7th in the Pac-10 isn't great, but I could care less if we were 10th in the Pac-10. In my opinion, the best gauge of defensive effectivity is when it gets cornered into their own Red Zone. Suddenly, Oregon doesn't look too bad.

As you can see, the two Oregon teams tied for giving up the least red zone TD, but our in-state bragging right friends enjoy the cake for the least points allowed overall.

While USC allowed less scoring opportunities than Oregon, Oregon still allowed 6 less total points on the year. Across the town, UCLA, despite giving a shutout, gave up 23 TDs in the red zone. Arizona State fared alright, more or less being the middle of the Pac-10, separating the great defensive red zone performances, from... the rest. California really got hurt in the red zone, and they'll be looking to make some improvements here as they almost gave up twice as many red zone points (255 not including PAT) as Oregon (138) and Oregon State (129) on the year.

But this still isn't a great gauge of defensive efficiency, for that, we'll have to compare these numbers to the number of times a defense had to make a stand in the Red Zone.

About the biggest anomaly that jumps out is that out of 37 Red Zone stands, Arizona State allowed a team to score 33 times. A few other things that are note worthy is how the Golden Bears had to take a defensive red zone stand nearly 20% more than any other team. Ouch! But there is one more thing that is a bit more subtle in there too. The Ducks had to make a defensive stand in their own twenty-yard line 42 times. When we relate these two statistics together, we get a very interesting story to tell.

As you can see, Oregon's defense had a pretty steller Red Zone Efficiency. Bend, but don't break indeed. OSU and even Stanford deserve some props for their efforts too. Considering how many times California got pushed back, I don't think they really did too bad. They have a few Red Zone kinks to iron out for '08, as does Arizona State, who statistically collapsed when they got in the red zone.

Washington State, Arizona, UCLA gave up a TD over 60% of the time as well.

As a Duck fan, I can't say I'm disappointed with this. Despite Allotti's protest over it, Oregon really demonstrated a Bend but Don't Break defense that works.

But the leader on the defensive side is wanting to quiet some of the people that like to point out Oregon's defense was 7th last year.

"We were bend but don't break," safety Patrick Chung said. "We're trying not to bend this year." - Rivals.com

I honestly don't think it matters if we give up a lot of yards. Preventing points is what matter the most.

I know that these numbers do not factor in all TD allowed, like big plays of 20+, but there is no good way I can do that without going into every box score of each Pac-10 game. That's something I don't feel like doing right now

Not a big shocker to anyone. But I find it interesting that people have started to notice this as a factor.
