Maehl - "hurts the running game"?

on Battle Red Blog
Hello, Battle Red Blog community. As you can probably tell by my screen name, I'm a huge Oregon Duck fan who wandered over from AddictedToQuack to check in on one of my all-time favorite Oregon Ducks. I knew that Jeffery Maehl (as the long-time voice of the Ducks, Jerry Allen liked to call him) was signed to the Texans practice squad during the final roster cuts. I found the information after the jump when I searched this site for updated information on the defensive-back-turned-go-to-wide-receiver, (if you didn't know, when the Ducks ran out of WR's due to injuries in 2007, Maehl burned his red shirt with only 2 regular season games remaining, sacrificing the red shirt he had sat out the first 10 games for, in order to become a WR and help the team out, quickly becoming a fan favorite for obvious reasons).

So...we had our annual white elephant gift exchange at work today. For anyone not aware, in a white elephant gift exchange everyone brings a wrapped gift in. You draw numbers from a hat and the first person picks a gift. They unwrap it in front of everyone. Then the 2nd person can either steal that gift, or select a new one from the pile o' gifts. Then the 3rd person can steal any of the gifts or pick a new gift. If your gift is stolen, you can either pick a new gift or steal someone else's (but you can't steal something back that was stolen from you on the previous turn). Any 1 gift can only be stolen 3 times and after the 3rd time that person gets the gift permanently. Everyone gets to go and whoever went first also gets to go last before the exchange is completed.
I drew #16, so I got to go last. When the #15 person went, he took a new gift and it was this bottle of Ducks & Roses Ale from January 2, 1995...the Ducks' last trip to the Rose Bowl before last year. The employee who brought it in as his gift said he stumbled upon it in his garage. He hadn't even been saving it on purpose; it was just left over from 1995.
I usually walk out of these white elephant gift exchanges with a lame coffee mug or something. This is by far the most awesome white elephant gift ever, and it's going in my Duck man-cave!!!
The Thing I Hate the Most About Civil War Week
by MarineCorpsDuck on Nov 29, 2010 10:07 AM EST
on Addicted To Quack
The past few years I’ve noticed a trend, and I hate it. Every year during Civil War week, multiple Duck fans sign up for SBNation…but they sign up for BuildingTheDam not ATQ. They go through all of the Baver threads over there and say all kinds of stupid crap. If this is your first year on AddictedToQuack, please do not do this. First of all, trolling other blogs is against the ATQ Community Guidelines:

Expectations vs Hopes
by MarineCorpsDuck on Oct 4, 2010 9:41 PM EDT
on Addicted To Quack
Getting caught up in the huge win against Stanford and the Ducks' rise through the rankings through the first 5 weeks of the season, I took some time to think about my expectations and hopes for the season. I figured I'd share with the community in case anyone finds themselves in the same boat as me.

Why Does Rich Brooks Hate the Ducks?
Rich Brooks, the former head coach at Oregon and Kentucky, has seen the No. 5 Ducks play the past two weeks. "They’re a very, very good football team," Brooks said. "They have a lot of speed and skill on offense and they are very quick on defense. I’m not sure they can stand up to Stanford. Arizona is a physical team, too."

I haven't gotten a full copy of the 2008 Civil War, but I finally found evidence. In the picture on the right, you can see that the guy in white sunglasses is the first E in BEAVERS. In the picture on the left, the guy with the white sunglasses is MIA. He thought his future was so bright, he's gotta wear shades, but apparently he was wrong.
The photo on the left was from this video, at the 1:44 mark. The photo on the right was from this video, at the 2:35 mark.
Poor BAVERS...

I put this on AddictedToQuack as well... Is it just me or does the Ducks defensive end, Kenny Rowe, look a lot like Rasheed?

Every time I saw Kenny Rowe I felt like I'd seen him somewhere else before. Anyone else see Rasheed Wallace?
The North/West Division Split: Will It Impact Football Recruiting?

Good take by MCD here, definitely deserves the FP. Go Ducks! - dvieira
Since expansion has become reality, there has been a lot of speculation about the potential impact on recruiting, specifically the impact that less trips to southern California will have. While this isn't possible to predict, my initial thoughts were that it wouldn't be too bad for Oregon. I admit that my opinion was formed based on a few assumptions:
1. Oregon gets a lot of players from Northern California
2. Reading/Hearing several times "we don't play much in Texas, and we are recruiting well there."
3. The more knowledgable people here on ATQ don't seem to be too worried about it.
So I decided to look at our current roster and see for myself if my assumptions are true. I was surprised by what I found...

Ducks Football - Deepest Team in the PAC 10?
If you told me 5 years ago we'd be having a discussion that the Ducks went to the Rose Bowl, I'd believe you. But if you told me we'd be discussing whether the Ducks have more depth than USC, I'd have a harder time believing you.

Holiday Bowl - Why not the Beavers?
by MarineCorpsDuck on Dec 5, 2009 7:30 PM EST
on Building The Dam
I've been asking this question since last week, and still haven't gotten a solid answer. It looks like the Beavers, Cal, Stanford, and Arizona will all be tied at 6-3 in the Pac 10, and 8-4 overall. Everyone has been assuming that the winner of the USC vs Arizona game was going to go to the Holiday Bowl. Assuming USC won, I guess I could follow that reasoning...but they lost. I have no clue why the heck Arizona would be more appealing than the Beavers.
At my company, managers have to send an e-mail to everyone when we will be out of office so people know. Here's what I send to my whole company.

Phil Steele's pre-season predictions
From his Aug 10, 2009 overrated/underrated teams post. I doubt I have to tell anyone here which category he puts the Ducks in.
"Teams that are in the Top 25 that I feel will not be ranked at the end of the year.
Oregon – The Ducks have just 9 returning starters and have only 1 returning starter on the offensive line and just one on the defensive line. They lost THREE 2nd round draft picks and their head coach Mike Bellotti. Since Chip Kelley took over just before the spring they got rid of a few coaches and I have 7 players from my projected two deep that are circled (no longer with team). They only had 8 starts lost last year due to injury and probably wont be as fortunate. They play Cal and USC at home and Cal has won 3 in a row vs the Ducks and have a large edge in the trenches in that game. They also play Boise St, UCLA, Stanford and Arizona on the road."
Good prediction, Phil.

*Update 11/18 - The university made them take it down from Youtube, but now it's resurfaced on another site. The cat and mouse game has begun. You may not like this video, but it is getting excellent reviews and comments from a majority of fans. It's not the best song in the history of the world, but it's fun and they did a good job with the production in my opinion.

Gameday Open Thread - Early Games
by MarineCorpsDuck on Nov 14, 2009 12:12 PM EST
on Addicted To Quack
I'll take the initiative and create a gameday open thread for the games leading up to this evening. Will Tennessee be affected by the arrests of 3 of their players? Or will Ole Miss finally show why they were ranked in the top 10 during the preseason? What's going to happen between Iowa and Ohio State? The Beavs play the fuskies at 12:30, and Arizona vs Cal is at 4:00 Pacific. Who's with me in rooting for Purdue and Utah today?
* Editors/Managers - Please feel free to move this or delete it if one of you is putting up an open thread on the main page.
[Ed. Edit - dvieira] bumping to the frontpage. I don't know about you guys, but I'm watching the Purdue vs Michigan State game

Do You Care About the Ducks' Ranking?
by MarineCorpsDuck on Oct 18, 2009 2:35 PM EDT
on Addicted To Quack
The Ducks moved up to #12 in the AP poll this week. 2 teams above them, Virginia Tech and Ohio State, both lost, but they were jumped by Georgia Tech. I was slightly upset about this for about 2 seconds when I realized for the first time in years, I don't really care what the national rankings are.
The chances of the Ducks winning out is, in my opinion, not very realistic. The PAC 10 is tough this year, and every game left on the schedule will be tough. But even if they do win out, so many teams would have to lose that the chances of getting to the National Championship Game have to be 100-1 or worse. It seems at this point that the shoot-for-the-stars goal of this season should be the Rose Bowl. To make the Rose Bowl, it doesn't really matter what the rankings are; it's all about the standings.
I usually watch both the polls and the standings as a season progresses, but for the first time that I can remember I don't really care that much where the Ducks are ranked in the polls. What are you paying more attention to, the ranking of the Ducks, or the PAC 10 standings?
Great way to start fuskie week.
