So for this pst weekend I watched the game through SlingTV as they carry the network and I could sign up for free for one week. I have tried the free websites others have posted but the quality and speed were awful. At least with my POS computer.

Sooo...I am debating cancelling the membership BUT if more games this season as well as basketball will be on then I may just keep it until March and then cancel for the summer. It is only $25/month.

So my question is, does anyone have a clue as to how many more games will be on the Pac12 network? How many basketball games do they show?

Thanks!

Plenty of info in today's notes.

Monday notes

The Future: What we have next year (so far re: recruits) & my grades

Offense: B = Solid & Improving - still young but talented
Coaching: Strong but OC playcalling still a questionmark
QB: Herbert, Wilson, Jonsen
RB: TBJ, Benoit, Verdell, Felix
WR: Brown, Ofodile, Mitchell, Wallace, Nelson,
TE: Breeland, Bay, McKitty, Robinson-Carr, McCormick
OL: Hanson, Lemieux, Throckmorton, Aiello, Okun, Poutasi, Forsyth, Crosby (?), Capra, Bathke

Defense: D+ = VERY thin @ LB & needs talent upgrades - DBs strongest unit
Coaching: Avg to well below
DE: Jelks, Kampmoyer, Cumberlander, Young, Hollins, Mondeaux
DT: Manu, Maloata, Kirby, Carlberg, Kaumatule, George, Reitmaier
OLB: Dye, Moi, Winston, Swain, Briscoe, Apelu, Niu
ILB: Hotchkins, Simms, Mattingly
CB: Amadi, Robinson, Lovette, Lenoire, Redd,
S: Schooler, Oliver, Williams, Leiato, Breeze, McGraw

Special Teams:B = Excellent PK, Very good returners, Hopefully upgraded at Punter
Coaching: Above average
PK: Schneider, Emerson, Stack
KO: Emerson, Stack
P: Stack,
KR: TBJ, Redd, Nelson
PR: Redd, Mitchell, Nelson

Let's take roll call:

North:
UW with Peterson, major upgrade.
WSU with Leach, upgrade.
OSU with Anderson, downgrade.
Stanford with Shaw, upgrade.
Cal with Dykes, upgrade.

South:
Utah with Whittingham, upgrade.
Colorado with Mac, major upgrade.
UA with Rich-Rod, minor upgrade...maybe.
ASU with Graham, upgrade.
UCLA with Mora, upgrade.
SC with Helton, pretty much still a mess.

Meanwhile Oregon has gone from CK to Helf.....

This is my opinion (and I may not be alone) but, I think we are in the group with OSU and SC.

Here's hoping the next hire will be more......'inspired'.

Seems like you can still recruit.....

Corey

Welcome Mr. Redd!

Scott, thank you for your review in the Fifth Quarter. I'm sure it was harder to write than it was to watch. As always, you are candid in your reporting, even though, this must have really been a tough one! Your love for our Ducks is not superseded by anyone on this site!

Thanks again for all you do!

The uniforms. They suck this year. Look good, play good. Tongue in cheek of course but they do suck this year which is adding insult to injury.

Springs essentially calling out the front 7 and Hoke as well.......hope they can nip this in the bud or it could get nasty.

Oregonian:

"The quarterback had all day," corner Arrion Springs said. "We can't cover forever. We can try. He was just all day back there dinking and dunking down the field. ... It was a good game plan initially but we just did the zone like every time. We needed to switch it up a little more."

Corey

OK, I'm probably wrong so don't flame me...but didn't we reach out to Chris Peterson a couple of years ago (maybe informally) and he didn't want the job.

I remember I was surprised he took the Huskies job after that.

Corey

i can't believe how far helfrich has brought this program down. Eve worse if the ad doesn't fire him. Just pathetic.

From the Oregonian...he really lays it on the line.

Here we go from Pullman. Ducks and Cougars about 30 minutes to kick off. Can they do it?

Helfrich has the following stats

11-7 without Mariota

Largest loss in Stadium History (Utah Last year)

Largest comeback in Bowl History (TCU)

Lost to Nebraska with PAT Deal

Players came out flat against Colorado

What else do we need to see? He isn't a good head coach and we will NEVER win big with him in charge. IMO!

I'm not going to anymore games with him as coach either. I have had tickets for over 20 years so you can call that bandwagon, but that is just my deal.

I honestly don't see any on the schedule. I posted an 4-8 record previously, now I'm saying 2-10. Anybody else want to guess? BTW, after our disbelief and ridiculing the pundits prior to the season I have to say they were correct.

So it sounds like I'm not the only one who thinks we need a new HC now? I'm sure Mullens has a list in his office and is working our what to do and when as he knows we can't just let it cave. Next week is gonna be a blood bath. 12 Years and Peterson didn't get the call when we hired Helfrich and he is pissed about it.

I can't find any video or audio of postgame coaches comments. Anyone able to find anything from the press conference yet?

No pocket presence whatsoever!!!

Not accurate whatsoever.



Corey

If we're relying on freshmen for our future, why not let a burned redshirt freshman start and give us some hope for next year? I have nothing against Prukop, but reaching out for unreasonable band aids for lack of MM has run it's course. Time for our head coach to nut it up and play for his job. And that means recognizing what he has isn't good enough for his future...assuming he has one...and play the man he thinks he should lead it.

Anybody know what the deal is with him?

Plays like every other game?

In the Oregonian this am Hoke said it was MH's decision not to play him.

"Cornerback Arrion Springs was surprised Dye, who practiced all week, did not make the trip, and defensive coordinator Brady Hoke said the decision was not his but Helfrich's. Asked if he expected Dye to play next week against Washington, Hoke said, "Yeah, far as I know."

WTF

Corey

Anybody disagree with that?

He lived off Chips players and philosophy, mostly Marcus (and yes I know Helf. recruited Marcus).

We come out flat in both halves, no creativity any longer on "O" and the "D" leaves me and I assume all of you speechless.

I am not giving up this year but can easily see at least 4 more losses this year including the Dawgs....ugh!!!!! I HOPE I AM WRONG HERE.

Nobody stays on top forever and we are no longer on top....obviously!

I'm speechless. We were in the Natty two years ago people, we are now bad! We can use every excuse in the book injuries, we're young etc. etc. but we look lost in just about every area.

I like Mark as far as being a nice guy but let's stop fibbing to ourselves...he is over his head!

No easy answer but he needs to go at years end IMO barring a miraculous turn around.

Three in a row, and I'm not willing to bet big money on us beating anybody else

Thoughts???

Is it a revenge thing?
