I'd say, figure on about $6-8000 per year for "room & board". This doesn't include things like insurance, repairs, or maintenance-related costs—just keeping the boat there and eating. Also, it assumes that you've made some provision for charging the batteries that doesn't involve running your engine or a generator—either solar, wind or both. It also assumes that you're not staying in a marina most of the time and not bar hopping every night.

As the changes are written, its a substantial nerf to Veigar's damage output but a very slight increase to his Stun Ring (Event Horizon) Spam, with a side of less mana regen needed early game despite not needing it as much now that you aren't trying to spam Baleful near as much.
I'm leaning towards agreeing with karadur atm. I'm pretty hesitant about the changes because they seem overall pretty small, and I'm really wary about the primordial burst changes. Primordial burst seems to be nerfed in all cases other than the supremely idealistic ones, making it even less versatile / potent, but we'll have to see. Once things play out a bit I'll definitely update my guide
I posted this in the champ feedback section:
k0b3 CleoFairy
New Passive – Equilibrium: Veigar's mana regen is increased by 0.5% for each 1% of mana he's missing. Wasn't this 1% instead of .5% yesterday?
Xenotime Gaze
um, im a new Viegar player, and so far i can say through my recent experience of both the pre/post patch that he definitely feels nerfed when it comes to damage, and is now feels more team dependant. there are no more mana problems though as far as i can tell xD
One of the biggest problems now are the reduced AP ratios of both Dark Matter AND Prim Burst, both are now .8 which kinda means you need more farming to compensate. Dark Matter does hit more, but it also is less powerful at the same mana cost. Fortunately the new passive really helps to negata mana issues. On the other hand, DOES get better farming. Veigar gains rediculously good boost to the ease of In all seriousness, I've gotten the AP boost from kills that weren't mine. Proof: I had 9 AP but only 6 total minion kills... yea I shoulda taken a Screenie, but I didn't. It's a mixed bag, but he has less mana issues and the passive is noticable like a half chalice. Though if you want to farm champ kills, you need to max Baleful. Simply put, the +5 for champ kills is only available then, but on all skills. The Ultimate mana reduction is nice however and .4 seconds is surprisingly helpful for Dark Matter... though I still think it should be as unseen as real dark matter.
The Ult was changed, but is now even more situational. You thought it was bad finding a mana user to hit with it? Try finding an AP stacker. Honestly, Veigar would be much better off if they had just lowered the cooldowns on his EH/DM by 5/6 seconds instead of what he got.
checked the new veigar... .he is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 All they needed to do was to give him the new passive, lower the cast time and cooldown of DM and EH and everything was perfect. Now he simply suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks! Heck I thought they could just lower all spells costs by 10-15 mana and give him a new passive (same as before but instead of getting AP it would steal AP and convert it into Magic Penetration). Those 2 changes would've done plenty good to veigar... new veigar is just useless.
He's better from a game design perspective I suppose... but from potency he definitely isn't. Hopefully he'll get more love in the future...I really hope this wasn't it. I want Veigar to be viable again.

Lori's snow at Ober Gatlinburg
We spent new years eve at Ober Gatlinburg, We rode the tram up. Unfortunately it was very crowded and took us 2 1/2 hours in line to get on the tram. Was pretty ride up to the top of the mountain. But once there they were making snow, and the mountain tops had snow from the night before still on the trees. We ate at the buffet in the restaurant that was excellent, Lot of food ...
Final getaway of 2014
... for Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We had hoped to be able to make it in one go, but that was not to be. We had to overnight in the NW area of South Carolina and the following morning made the final road trek to Pigeon Forge.
We were very fortunate that Vera's boss offered us his wood lodge in Pigeon Forge. It was a very cozy 2 bedroom lodge with a fire place and Jacuzzi on the screened in terrace.
What an Awesome cabin.
We met a couple here at the campground that we spent a good bit of time with. Randy and Frieda own a rental cabin wayyy up on top of a mountain called "kindred spirit". They repaired and remodeled this cabin including putting in a seperate heated indoor pool, hot Tub etc. This place has everything!! The view ...
Finally. Lori's BEAR!!!!!!!!!
After we left The Preserve we decided it was too pretty a day, so we decided to slip back over to Cades Cove to search for the elusive bear. Once we started the loop there were a lot of deer out and about. About 10 minutes in Lori hollars "there's a bear, there's a bear". Sure enough about 100 feet away was a good size black bear easing along the wood line towards the road. I stopped the car. grabbed the ...
Beautiful Place A MUST SEE!!!!!
... and sherry in the back seat didnt handle the curvy mountain road so good. Thought we would never get to flat ground. Finally got to a little smoother ride on NC 129 then had to come down the mountain again from Blairsville. nobody likes the GPS anymore.............
We have pictures here from 2 cameras and the cell phone, If it looks like some pictures are the same they kinda are.

Among the comments:
■ "There's definitely been a resistance to showcase these stats that we've been talking about for a long time if you're a fan of hockey. … It's a big step for the NHL to get involved in this sort of thing, and their point of view is, 'Now we can do it our way, use our stats, make sure it's accurate.'"
■ "Everyone who has been keeping track of these stats for years has called them Corsi and Fenwick. … I think it was a bold decision by the NHL to change them. It shows that they're trying to put their own stamp on it. … Their rationale for changing those names being that they think it will make the metrics more accessible to the casual fan. But I would like to see them present that breakdown of what each stat is, put that more on the forefront."
■ "I think it's great that hockey fans do have a place to go for this type of information now that is official."
■ "The NBA has really been at the forefront of this player tracking movement. … They've made a point of making all that data available for free, with the thought process being, 'Anything we can do to get the fans more engaged in the game is ultimately going to help us because fans that are more engaged are going to go to more games, watch more games, buy more merchandise and be invested in our product.' I think that ultimately the NHL will adopt a similar mentality."
Jacksonville case study: The craft beer effect
February 23, 2015 12:23 PMThis week in SportsBusiness Journal, we look at some of the trends that executives in the concessions industry are watching. Tom Anastasia, regional vice president for Ovations Food Services, noted how craft beers have become increasingly prevalent in stadiums and arenas.
Here, he shares an additional story, about what Ovations learned when the company adjusted the mix of taps at a portable stand in Jacksonville — including the financial impact of the change, in terms of fan spending.
"We performed a case study to verify the popularity of craft beer in a football stadium environment. At EverBank Field in Jacksonville, we added an expanded craft lineup at eight existing draft portables. They weren't new locations, just a new lineup of flavors to chose from. Initially Anheuser-Busch, our primary supplier at the stadium, introduced some import/specialty brands from their portfolio: Amber Bock, Stella Artois, Negra Modelo and others. Michelob Ultra [also an A-B brand], Miller Lite and Coors Light are also poured at various locations.
"Previous tap setups had featured standard domestic options along with maybe one craft/import option as a second option. Our research indicates this mix is almost always impacted by product availability. EverBank Field is not different than most venues in the sense that a primary sponsor has more brand selection. While there is no issue with this, it does limit the ability for the consumer to make the choice to trade up to a higher-priced selection.
"The beers that we placed in the craft designation that really started the shift came mostly from Jacksonville-based breweries: Bold City Killer Whale Cream Ale and Duke's Brown Ale, Intuition Ale Works' People's Pale Ale and Jon Boat, and Green Room Brewing's Pablo Beach. SweetWater 420 [from Atlanta] and Blue Moon [a MillerCoors brand brewed in Denver] were also added.
"In our analysis, based on data collected over the course of the Jaguars' 2014 regular season, we compared the consumer selection at the venue overall versus locations that serve a wider selection of craft beer options alongside the domestic beers. If you take a sample of the entire stadium, the ratio is 84 percent domestic draft beers sold compared to 16 percent craft/premium draft beers sold. This is misleading as a representation of what the consumer would choose if there were more options at more locations.
"When we look at a prime draft portable location that has domestic and craft/premium options, the mix changes drastically. Given the choice at this location, the mix changes to 61 percent domestic and 39 percent craft. The craft beers are sold at a dollar more per unit for the same size. These incremental dollars add up across many points of sale and over a whole season. This is evidence that given the option to trade up to a premium product, a very large segment of our consumers are willing to pay more for a premium product.
"It's important to note that this was not the first introduction of craft beers in Jacksonville. Our lineup for craft beers on our package carts has been extensive for a number of years. This is simply an analysis of the shift when adding these flavors in draft. Very often the focus on draft is geared towards a sponsor product [typically one of the major domestic brands]. The point of the analysis was to show our clients that there is financial benefit to straying outside of the old exclusivity model." -

Goodell Runs 40 For St. Jude
February 18, 2015 04:40 PMNFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ran a 40-yard dash in the NFL's New York office (watch video here) as part of a benefit for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, akin to last summer's Ice Bucket challenge. The video will air on NFL Network's "Total Access" tonight.
"He has thrown down the gauntlet to Eisen," said NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger, referring to the network's anchor Rich Eisen, who runs a 40-yard dash every year at the NFL combine.
NFL Network executives would not disclose Goodell's time.
Podcast: Las Vegas' NHL push
February 11, 2015 09:23 AM
Among the comments:
■ "I think the Foley ticket drive will be an interesting litmus test to see if this market can make the transition from not only being a big sports event town in a major league sense, but now support a major league team for a season that's more than 40 games. … Las Vegas to me has always been a fascinating wild card of a city because our market is driven more on events than seasons.'"
■ "The catalyst in this hockey drive is the new MGM-AEG arena being built right now. … Obviously you'll have your purists, but I think a big chunk of the fans will be visitors who will be among the 40 million walking up and down the Strip on a typical year and people who want to see the arena. I think the arena is going to be as much an attraction as the NHL team itself."
■ "They're looking at 54 percent of the visitors to the arena being tourists and 46 percent being locals. To have an NHL team you'd hope that the 46 percent locals would be a lot higher.'"
■ "Las Vegas reminds me a little bit of the Florida markets in a way – very tourism-based, but not a lot of corporate headquarters. … We probably have, I'm guessing, a half-dozen to 10 gaming industry and casino companies that will probably buy up the suites and a smattering of other local businesses, but Las Vegas is not a corporate-rich community."
Schiller: Dramatic Win Raises America's Cup Profile In U.S.
February 9, 2015 04:02 PMSportsBusiness Journal this week reports on NBC Sports Group acquiring the exclusive U.S. television and digital media rights for the next America's Cup Challenger Playoffs and America's Cup Finals, set to take place in Bermuda in 2017.
Veteran industry executive Harvey Schiller, a member of SBJ's 2013 class of Champions: Pioneers & Innovators in Sports Business, was one of the people who brought the deal together. Schiller is commercial commissioner for the 2017 event, and in talking about the deal last week, he noted the impact of how the U.S. team won the Cup in 2013 with a dramatic rally.
NBC had the U.S. broadcast rights for coverage of that 2013 event, as well.
"After the last event in San Francisco [in 2013], we're getting more and more interest from the public and from sponsors as well. Before 2013, if you asked anyone on the street what they knew about the America's Cup, it likely wasn't much. But now, many will say 'Wasn't that a great comeback?' It's partly due to the television coverage that is the case." -
TV Timeout: Answered Prayers?
February 9, 2015 03:19 PMESPN's Buster Olney, on the Padres offseason after agreeing to terms with free-agent P James Shields: "It's mission accomplished for the Padres in terms of changing the perception of this team and trying to make it a team that could be a playoff contender in this summer" ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 2/9). The N.Y. Post's Joel Sherman said, "They were … the most aggressive this offseason. Part of it is learning from history. The teams that win the winter don't always win the summer" ("Hot Stove," MLB Net, 2/9).
TOM-FOOLERY: Patriots WR Julian Edelman, to actor Josh Duhamel, with whom he presented the Grammy for "Best Rock Album" last night, "Josh, thanks for standing in for (Patriots QB Tom Brady). You guys look enough alike" ("The Grammy Awards," CBS, 2/8).
WALKING A TIGHTROPE: ESPN's Field Yates said of Panthers DE Greg Hardy's domestic violence charges being dismissed, "If the NFL treats this as if the incident never took place because the charges have been dropped, what kind of message are you sending? At the same time, the NFL personal conduct policy is specifically tied to the outcome of court cases. … It's going to be a very tricky one for the NFL to manage" ("SportsCenter," ESPN, 2/9). -

■ "Under Armour is very intriguing for the National Hockey League, and I think they would like to see them come forward with a very aggressive bid. I think that's the plan."
■ "This is going to be an opportunity for whomever is going to retain the rights to show the NHL … that because of all the momentum that's now building in other non-traditional hockey markets, like California, that we want to have a presence there, as well. … That's going to have the guys in the NHL office thinking how this deal is going to benefit them beyond what's on paper."
Podcast: This week's NHL Wrap-Around
January 28, 2015 11:52 AM
Among the comments:
■ "Anybody who's a hockey fan knows that first-person view that you're going to get by attaching a camera to a player's helmet or their chest can really give you a good appreciation for the speed of the game, which I know the league itself really wants to show off."
■ "This is going to be their foray into reintroducing the game in Europe and other countries where it hasn't had as much traction. … Their hope is, 'We're going to kick this off in Toronto, you might see it in Europe the next time around.'"
■ "International hockey hasn't been a massive revenue stream for the NHL. The Olympic participation hasn't boosted their bottom line; this tournament will. The NHL and NHLPA own it and will see the revenue from it. It will be interesting to see whether this leads to the NHL abandoning its Olympic participation and whether the players feel strongly about continuing to participate."
■ "I don't think this lessens the chance they play in the Olympics. The player interest is there, and at the end of the day, if hockey grows, the NHL grows. Nothing draws more fans than the Olympics, for any sport."

A GREAT SLIPCOVER FOR MY RECLINER LEA from OVIEDO, FL– Verified Buyer THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE WITH WAYFAIR. YOUR WEBSITE HAD A GREAT SELECTION OF SLIPCOVERS FOR MY RECLINER. I PICKED THE BROWN STRETCH LEATHER RECLINER SLIPCOVER. IT ARRIVED SO QUICKLY, AND WHEN I FOLLOWED THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS AND TOOK A LOOK AND THEN SAT DOWN ON MY NEW SLIPCOVER, IT WAS A WONDERFUL SURPRISE IN EVERY WAY. IT LOOKED GREAT, IT FELT GREAT SITTING ON IT AND THEN I ACTUALLY SAID, YES !!, YES!!!, YES!!!!. IT MAKES ME SMILE EVERY TIME I SIT DOWN AND RELAX. GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRODUCT AND GREAT VALUE !!! |
more like suede... Monkey from Manchester, CT– Verified Buyer Beautiful cover - but it doesn't look as much like leather as the picture might suggest - it's more matte like (no shine) and it does look like a good sueded leather. |
Fabulous, no fuss recliner seat cover Deborah from quincy, MA– Verified Buyer This was a little difficult getting on but once it was on it is fabulous. No tucking or re-making every time you get up. I put this cover on over 2 months ago and have never had to do a thing to it. Love this slipcover. |
Quite surprised. VLP from MO– Verified Buyer I searched several websites and finally tried wayfair.com. I was quite surprised to find exactly what I wanted and with no shipping charges. The recliner cover arrived quickly and was exactly like it looked in the photo. I would shop with wayfair again to get a second slipcover for another chair to make a matching pair. |
Product review Tonya from Albany, GA– Verified Buyer Great product. Good quality, would recommend again. Fabric feels like suede. Cons: a little difficult covering our Lazy Boy recliner. |
Fit well Susan from Indiana– Verified Buyer I like the quality of this product and it is exactly what I expected. It seems it is made well and is exactly as described on the website. |
Huge improvement! melanie from Tucson, AZ– Verified Buyer This was my first time buying slip covers and was pleasantly surprised with how well they covered my existing worn out wing back-style recliners. I like that they are all one piece which makes them easy to tuck in (and untuck to remove crumbs). They look great with my leather couch. My husband said they were a huge improvement over our thread-bare chairs. Thanks for a great product! |
Great product Brian from HOLBROOK, MA– Verified Buyer Purchasing from Wayfair was easier and cheaper than going to the manufacturer. The cover fit perfectly in 10 minutes and from a distance, it has fooled visitors. The product has held up well and I would recommend to others. |
Finally a cover that fits Herman from Bronx, NY– Verified Buyer I have ordered several covers for my recliner, but none of them fit and I had to return them. I finally got one that fit. It is a very nice cover, and from a distance it does look like leather. I need help putting it on correctly, I'm not good at things like that, but I know it will look great. Now I don't have to throw out my favorite chair. |
great looking Catherine from Oregon– Verified Buyer Bought two for matching. Takes two people to put on. Alittle hard for me. But good quality item |

Parsing the Political Debate on Dodd-Frank
Admittedly, if liquidation remains an empty threat, then SIFI designation ensures that large Wall Street banks are indeed TBTF -- something with which even former
2. High-Cost Regulation
The criticism that Dodd-Frank increases costs for small banks by forcing them to meet cumbersome new regulatory standards is dubious. In reality, much of the new regulation imposed by Dodd-Frank is specifically targeted at bank holding companies with more than $50 billion in assets.
For community banks, it is business as usual. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has admitted as much. "I think it is important to emphasize that the vast majority of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act do not apply to community banks at all," Bernanke told reporters in September. Moreover, this message was reiterated in a recent Federal Reserve publication.
The long-term impact of Dodd-Frank on the financial system remains unclear, but its intention is to scrutinize large banks more rigorously and to create a credible threat of liquidation rather than, as critics contend, to institutionalize TBTF and to make small banks less competitive. Regardless, the Dodd-Frank debate does add credence to the notion that even healthy businesses can benefit from access to alternative sources of capital, including equity-based crowdfunding. Financial turmoil and government regulation can have uncertain impacts on the traditional capital markets; funding diversification is, therefore, a prudent strategy for small businesses.

Practice update: Thomas prepping for life without LMJ (video)
Posted by Rob Moseley
The Ducks were inside Autzen Stadium this morning in full pads for their last really physical workout prior to Saturday night's game against Arizona State.
One exception to the full-pads dress was LaMichael James, the junior running back emerging from the stadium in a sweatsuit after practice as he continues to nurse an elbow injury.
"Same old thing, practicing, getting ready," UO quarterback Darron Thomas said. "Trying to push a little bit harder because we know we ain't gonna be with LaMike."
Today's practice involved a lot of team situations, running through various game scenarios, and lots of special teams work, which the Ducks prefer to do in the stadium, UO coach Chip Kelly said.
Kelly had a couple of typically sharp one-liners today, one when asked about replicating 6-foot-8 ASU quarterback Brock Osweiler in practices, leading Kelly to joke he'd have to stack two of his scout-team players one on top of another. That prompted me to ask about the progress of the scout teams this season, in which the weekly players of the week have been spread out among a bunch of guys.
"It's been spread out," Kelly agreed, "and that's one thing I want from those guys, is more consistency."
He said some of the scouts have been pretty up and down, very good one week, not so much the next. Some of the more consistent performers have been offensive linemen Tyler Johnstone, James Euscher and Andre Yruretagoyena, running back Ayele Forde, linebacker Rahim Cassell and defensive linemen Koa Ka'ai and Sam Kamp.
Of Forde, Kelly said that "it's been two years now that he's given real good looks for us defensively."
Kelly also quipped, when asked about Cliff Harris' progress today, that "Cliff's effort was as good as the questions I got today." Speaking for the media on hand today (and keeping with Kelly's tongue-in-cheek response) that's a bad sign for ol' Cliff ...
Seriously, it sounds like Kelly has been generally encouraged with what he's seen from Harris this week, but as always, the longer that's sustained, the better the outlook for him.
Here's raw video of Thomas' comments after practice ...
The Register-Guard doesn't necessarily condone the comments here, nor does it review every post.
Older Comments
Everybodyduck, Undisclosed
I really hope the reporters on hand asked CK some good questions. However, if the questions asked of DT are indicative of the ones asked CK, then Cliff is in trouble.
How is it when professionals are giving the chance to ask questions, the questions are so vanilla and lame?
Why not ask DT or CK if they are working to correct the high snaps on every play? What can be done to correct this? Why is this occurring?
Does CK and DT agree that the high snaps make it easier for the defensive to see where DT is going with the ball. Exactly, how does the high snap effect the overall timing of the play from catch, mesh, decision?
This seems more informative than are you worn out at mid season.
Are you on the wrong's team blog? With the exception of 3 snaps from the Cal game, Grass has been probably this year's biggest positive surprise.
On another subject, interesting that Kelly mentions Rahim Cassell as a standout scout team player. With CG already having gotten some time, seems as if Wallace (one many considered the most likely freshman besides DAT and Lyerla to play) has gotten lost in the shuffle.
Rob, any comment on that? Or am I reading too much into a few practice reports?
SDDuck, San Diego
I think reporters don't ask those questions because the average fan doesn't want to read an article about high snaps and their effect on the offense.
It's funny, you can predict with 99% accuracy the topics of articles that will show up tomorrow's paper based on the questions you hear asked after practice or during Chip's teleconference. I just watch the videos and then read the headlines…much more efficient.
Regarding to Cliff not starting, I suspect Chip may be waiting for Cliff's THC and NachoCheese blood level to decrease.
It's been reported that too much THC can contribute to too much Taco Bell and is a leading contributor to keeping players out of the game and often off of a team.
Am I the only one out here who believes the high snaps may have occured simply because of the rain, with the center making sure he had a firm grip on the football to ensure it didn't slip out of his hands? If I remember correctly, the California game was the only glaring instance of this occuring. Still, not a bad question to ask.
Rob, you're too funny, taking a crack at your fellow reporters like that.

#3—"It's funny, you can predict with 99% accuracy the topics of articles that will show up tomorrow's paper based on the questions you hear asked after practice or during Chip's teleconference. "
Yeah. Funny how that works. I guess you're not all that familiar with information gathering.
greenbaaron, Greenlake
I like that Chip has benched Cliff. Nobody is bigger than the team, and letting star players slide because they're stars is the quickest way to lose control of the locker room and ultimately the program.
Additionally, I actually feel pretty good about ole KB Toys getting his chance to shine. That 68 yard TD explosion against Cal is only a sampling of what KB can do.
I know LMJ is effectively a Duck Diety at this point, but I think Duck fans need to give a little more support to #24. He's got quality character and quality skills like theMike, and I'm calling it now - KB Toys is Pac 12 Player of the Week in a Ducks victory!
Terrysheldon, Eugene
silver: Ha ha, bad food is never good, unless your Mom makes it with love.
Maybe Chip needs to be a reporter for a day. Sometimes they HAVE to ask the "dumb" question because they need an official response and no one else will ask.
oregon111, pdx
I wont speculate further on the Cliff situation, but I will say this…
if Cliff being benched costs the Ducks a game (other than LSU), this "thing", whatever it is, will blow up
as a philosophy, I always feel that players should earn their spots based on game play, not practice play
its nice to see some good news about linemen playing well on the scout team - that is where Ducks need to improve to beat the Auburns, LSUs, and Ohio States of the world
Why does chip continue to use cliff as the whipping boy?! Chip better think long and hard about why he's doing it. Its a football program, not the seminary! Cliff will only take so much of it and then he will be gone!
Jeff, Eugene
Regarding the comment about the "high snaps on every play," I have to wonder if you've been watching this season. On the whole, Grasu has been very good this season on his snaps. He did have a few high ones vs. Cal, probably because Cal uses a 3-4 defense and he had a very large nose guard lined up right over his head.
Mike, kellyville
I think I read somewhere that the longest pass play was 44 yards this year? So, TMitch, Ife and Troy aren't doing such a bad job. Could it just be that these guys are good too?
Duck Norris, Eugene
I'm going to pay for a ticket on Saturday and I expect to see the talent. The crowd is chanting "Cliff Harris, Cliff Harris, Cliff Harris!" well into the fourth quarter during the Cal game. Figure it out. The guy can shut down A.S.U. and get a couple interceptions if he gets in the game. If A.S.U. puts up alot of points it will be because Cliff isn't in the game. It's geting frustrating paying for a ticket that costs an arm and a leg and we can't even watch one of the most talented athletes in the NCAA.
Zmac, United States
Cliff paid all his fines, was apologetic and served multiple full/part games suspensions. So what else is there, he's not breaking sharp enough on coverage routes? Give me a break. Fans want to know what the heck else he is supposed to do. Is he showing up late to practice, on drugs, swears at the coaches, stealing purses from old ladies? No one seems to know what it is and that has Duck Fans perplexed because we want the best players on the field if possible!
Kucky21, Portland
Norris Duck, I am Right with you! Thinking I should make a Cliff sign for game day! Get off your high horse Chip…. LET CLIFF PLAY!
Bill, Las Vegas
Here is Cliff an all american,and LMJ like so.At some point and time he badly would be used to play.But to warm the bench,just doesn't make sense.So recruits look at this and go dah. So would they want to play for C K.don't think so. So if Cliff is not needed,and not going to play,would you even want to suit up? As scholarship's go,you are obligated.But you can bet this is his last year. Don't blame him.As I have expressed before,there has got be more there then what meets the eye. Hope we can strangle them,. Go Ducks.
Jeff Adams, Canada
#15 and 17
In a consumer culture this may come as a surprise. You are not paying the team to play who you want. You are paying to watch the team play a game. They are going to do it their way not yours. If you don't think that is good enough for you… life may be disappointing.
sparkyduck, Keizer
I seriously doubt there is anyone who wants Cliff on the field more than Chip himself. He is the only one with millions of dollars riding on how the team does. He's well aware of the "what have you done for me lately" attitude of many sports fans. If in doubt, just read the "Yeah, we won by three touchdowns, but why didn't we play better defense" comments in these blogs. A trip to the Sun Bowl would have many crying for his head.
I know nothing of the situation, but I am glad we have a Coach that is willing to bench a player if they aren't holding up their end of the bargain. The last thing we need is every 5 star recruit and fan favorite calling the shots in the locker room.
In Chip We Trust. 26-5 says it all!
Tony, Portland
I enjoy reading opinions from my fellow Duck fans, but I m tired of people judging our young men and our coaching staff. I played football in Autzen, graduated from Sheldon, and was born at Sacred Heart. I bleed green, love our Ducks, and would love to see a national championship. The coaching staff does what is best for our young men, they are the ones that lay it on the line day in and day out… Bandwagon fans can take a hike now, you have no idea what it is like to have a 5-6 season and be content with how the team did. Our university has integrity, honor, heart, and tradition… If a players does wrong by his team, then the team should decide how to handle it…
I hope we all pull together and bring it to Autzen this Saturday, come to cheer and support our Ducks, WTD Boys…
Tony, Portland
sparkyduck you obviously get it, I agree that in Chip we trust… We are lucky to have had some great coaches with integrity at our university…
Going Qwackers (GQ), Wagoning the Band
To all you "we want Cliff" bandwagoneers, do you honestly think the coaches don't put the best people out there, all factors considered? Do you think for a moment that they don't want maximum effort in a game of inches? You might want to consider from your lofty perch in that easy chair that they have all the facts and you don't. Even Rob, who is closer to this than any of us, sees the coaching staff doing what they need to with egoes out of the picture.
And for those few who think Cliff's absence costs us games, there are 99 other guys on this team who would take exception to that point of view. This IS a team, where on and off field performance interrelate. So while you may buy your ticket, this ain't Burger King. You don't get it your way, you get it the coaches' way. So stop the beefing.
Tony, Portland
Going Qwackers you are right on the money with this cliff thing, I couldn't agree more… :) Lets Go Ducks…
I'm not so sure Coach Kelly should be making negative statements about Cliff's practice performance to the media. Even if it's a joke, it's in bad taste IMO. Should those comments motivate Harris? I'm a fan of CK, but I just can't envision Bellotti making such a remark.
BlackDuck, Happy Valley, OR
As always, an article about Darron Thomas turns into a thread about Cliff Harris…..
I hope he does get in the game more than T-Mitch so all this complaining can go away.. (Even though I'm also on the "Cliff Harris in the game" side)
I mean, this should not be an issue at all. I bet and put everything on the line, that as soon as Harris has a punt return for a TD or an interception, he'll get the nod (start) for our next game in Boulder, Colorado. Because the exact same thing happened last year—after some razzel dazzel display on the field, Cliff replaced Gildon (who also was doing a terrific job). If Cliff still has his mojo, then it's just only a matter of time, and everything will go back to normal. :)
MarcTheDuck, pdx
(Sorry 'bout this, BlackDuck, but I'm sure you'll understand since the thread is already established here.)
I hope so much that Cliff gets it together this year and ends up playing most of the rest of the year (by earning it). He is an amazing talent and a very likable guy - amusing even. But, despite allusions to his maturing earlier in the season, he seems to be unable to transition from kid to young adult so far. Treating all of this as if it is just an amusement park ride. And that is prerogative, but it also means that he is devaluing himself (you only get this one chance in CFB) and pretty much letting his teammates down. I'm ok with it all if that's all he wants of himself. But he is definitely wasting time if it's not.
Zach McDonald, United States
"In Chip We Trust"? As in the Will Lyles investigation by the NCAA, where Chip is ultimately going to be the one responsible for whatever the NCAA's determination is - sorry for the buzzkill. How about Chip's "punishment" of LGB in '09, where he sat out most of the season, and then finally brings LGB back full time in the Rose Bowl, but since LGB hardly has any game experience that year, he fumbles the ball on a handoff!
Trust your own judgement. Reasoned criticism by fans of their players AND coaches is a good thing. Hopefully it makes Chip et al better for it! -
luckaduck, Southern Oregon
Look, when the coaches are out on the trail recruiting, I'm sure that they don't tell each and every family that at the University of Oregon, we have to cave to our bloggers. We read each and every comment and they become an important part of our weekly discussions among our fellow coaches.
Geeze, the coaches are doing an excellent job for the ducks. Many of them have been on the job here in Eugene longer than some of you have been on the planet. They have had great defensive backs that are now playing in the pros. If LeGarette Blount had not taken his discipline to heart and followed through, I seriously doubt if he would be playing pro ball today.
No one believes that Cliff is superman, not at 173 pounds. He would get arrested for indecent exposure if he had to wear the superman suit. Cliff will play when the coaching staff feels that he can follow instructions and play as a team player. He will never play in the pros if he will not follow instruction from his position coaches.
This is a game of rules and discipline. On that final word discipline, Cliff was and maybe still is sadly lacking. Coaches coach, and fans like us can be overbearing sometimes with our opinions about how things should be run by the athletic department. Guess who will win out? Go Ducks!
Thanks for the clarification Rob.
Dr. Leo Marvin, Lake Winnipesaukee
Hey Cliff! If you're reading this. Screw the baby-steps. Why waste your time warmin' the bench over a speeding ticket. For the sake of the team, I would hate to see you go, but for your own sake, why waste your time? You paid your dues when you missed the LSU game, apparently Chip doesn't care about you or your contribution to the team. Throw his fat but in the ice bath and walk!
rckymtnduck, denver
Three quick questions, I am too lazy to do the research myself:
1. When was the last time the Ducks lost a game in Autzen to double-digit underdogs?
2. Is there a new tie-breaker rule in the Pac-12 north, what is the tie breaker if two teams have one division loss, head to head?
3. Does anyone have Anne Curry's email address, I want to invite her to our party before the game against CU?
Thanx in advance and Geaux Ducks!!!
dzwizzard, Washougal WA
,...Go Ducks! ........ Enough
RED DUCK, K-Town
The thing that Cliff brings to our D and is desperately missing when he sits is that intangible that cannot be coached or overcome by raw athethicism….that something is CONFIDENCE! Sometimes referred to as Swagger. With Cliff, our secondary transforms into sharks, aggressively attacking routes and recievers. Heads on swivel, eyes in the backfield, contesting every route, owning every ball in the air. Without him they are something else, reactionary…soft…on thier heals positioning themselves to make a tackle after the catch. Almost like they are willing to concede the catch, content with as Aliotti says "keeping plays in front of them". Cliff's expectations are much higher. Is his style risky? Maybe. Is it disruptive to opposing offenses? Absolutely. Can it lead to game changing plays? Usually. Cliff oozes confidence that covers the entire Duck secondary like hot cheese on autzen nacho's! Sorry, I couldn't help myself:)
Bottom line…when Cliff plays I get excited. He's the guy I'm watching on most plays, I always know where #13 is lined up and I'll bet the oposing QB does too.
GO DUCKS - Smoke da Devels -
Duckem, The Pond
Thanks for asking DT how his body is holding up. Since watching him go down on the horse-collar tackle in the first series at Arizona, I've wondered if he injured a knee on that play. It seemed his knee was bothering him against the Cats and QB runs were virtually absent versus Cal, with the exception of a relatively safe play to the outside. This could be partially due to the Bear's scheme, but it'll be especially interesting to watch the play calling against the powerful group of linebackers that ASU brings to Autzen on Saturday night. It seems the Ducks are at their best when DT is able to mix in a few effective runs to keep opposing defenses off balance, helping to set up runs by the backs and the play-action passing game
Seabass, Southern Oregon
Cliff definitely still has it! He was all over the field in the Cal game. That said, I'm tired of reading comments by fans whining about Cliff's playing time. You guys should be begging Cliff to stop getting into trouble and puting himself before the team, instead of begging CK to play a guy that acts like a punk. I love watching Cliff on the field, but I get sick of reading about his lack of effort and his long list of unpaid traffic tickets. I realize they are paid now, but missing court dates shows a major disregard for the law and a lack of maturity.
Just a wild guess, Zmac is under 25 yrs old. When you get a little older you will hopefully learn that there are consequences for your actions. Chip is doing the right thing, and he will hopefully teach Harris some responsibility, and discipline. If Cliff would have had a HS coach willing to bench him for negative behavior, he would likely keep his nose clean now. Star athletes never hear the word "NO", and they suffer in life after their talent and athletic ability fade with age.
I just hope that Cliff gets back on the field soon, because he has earned the priviledge to play for the UofO.
erik jacobsen, portland
Zach #19)— I've watched many re-plays of the Ducks' Rose Bowl turnover on the hand-off to Blount. Obviously you have not because the errant play was 100% due to a terrible hand-off by Masoli. Say what you will about Kelly's discipline policies, but please get your facts right.
oregon111, pdx
I have already started my wait for the next head coach
I won't call for Chip's head - because the "trust in Chip" crowd will start crying…
but I have had enough - this is college football, not old English royalty
I wanted to see Blount play - I want to see Cliff play - and I don't want to see Hoffman/Murphy/Butterfield anymore
I am a fan and I want to see the good players - I don't care if they are or aren't "perfect people"
football is dangerous game played by gladiators, not choir boys
those guys give the institution 5 of the best yrs of their lives - and leave with broken bones and torn ligaments
I dont need any "holier-than-thou" attitude from the coaches or any of the fans
all us Cliff fans should do a "occupy Eugene" until Cliff gets back on the field
Duck Doc, Eugene
Here is what i posted yesterday ( sorry that i am a beat behind in regards to Cliffie).
Okay, i will admit it, i am confused ...Wasn't it just last week that most of you were complaining about Coach Kelly and how he won't report on injuries to the media?
Wasn't it just last week that the majority of the drumbeat on this blog was about how stubborn Coach Kelly is and how he constantly runs the same play up the middle and operates this vanilla-style-offense? And that he continues to do what he wants to do and that he rarely listens to others?
That he wasn't letting Darron have run-option with the qb keeper?So, the majority of you who were bemoaning either about Chip's stubbornness,his inability to allow Darron to run, and his lack of exposure involving injuries, that were truly feeling this angst or was it that you chose to point it out before we won the game against California?
So, now with the matter of Ka$h, you think that Coach Kelly is a guru and he knows what is best? That we should just let the coaches do what they do (especially when we agree with them and castigate others like oregon111 who dare to disagree with your opinion)? You think that there is something going on 'between' Cliff and Coach Kelly?
You agree with the continual banishment of Cliff in spite of ourselves (yeah, that worked with in the Stanford game with keeping LaGarrette Blount out and Toby Gerhardt tore us to shreds).
So you're satiated and content with this laissez-faire treatment although, there are no facts to support either conclusion(s)?Don't get me wrong, i love the coach and do happen to think that he does care very much about his kids. But, the coach, like his kids is learning too and yes, even he makes mistakes. There is no learning without diversity, even if he has to learn from us his fans, or heaven forbid, his players.
Perhaps Coach Kelly would like to refer to this quote, in relation to Ka$h.
"The Faults That You Find In Others Are Your Own…"
~smmI think that what the coach sees in Cliff, is himself.
The rest of you.. whether i agree with Oregon111 or not, isn't what i am stating ...
You all forgot that we are Duck fans on here (excluding the trolls) and first and foremost, support each other ...with out ad hominem ..
Wouldn't that be nice to see; it's tough enough to get support from reporters and the nation at large…without this in-fighting ...Let's GO DUCKS!
At the time of Cliff Harris's initial punishment I was proud of the coaching staff for sitting a star player. Now I'm starting to think, enough is enough. Mitchell, Hill, Gildon, etc are great players but so is Ciff and the punishment has exceeded the crime.
He will likely leave for the NFL in april…He will have come and gone and we barley knew him…
I'm with Oregon111. Choirboys won't win the day, gladiators will. I've heard of Chip's holier-than-thou attitude in public venues, and it's starting to show on the field. Maybe he feels threatened by Cliff?
davep, pdx
All of you that think Cliff is getting robbed have it just the opposite….If the coaches thought for one minute that Cliff was the best option, they would start him in a flash…Its their Jobs at stake…Remember???????..Undiciplined play in practice transfers directly to game day…..when Cliff shows that appropriate discipline on the practice field, he will start…..111, if you played football at all (doubt it by your non-player like comments)...then Im sure glad you werent on my team…game day guy huh…..you bet…..
go ducks
goducks, Keizer OR
Untill Cliff thinks that only Cliff matters then Cliff won't start.
ZDuck75, upriver
holy cow, oregon111, you have officially lost all perspective. go back to being a pro football fan, you dont like college ball. Or maybe go back to bein an sec fan, where football rules all, and players can gang-curb-stomp somebody while being out after curfew and still get cleared to play, despite evidence.
We all have our opinions, but callin for CK's head because he wont play somebody who's shown no respect for his teams rules and his teammates time and time again just shows us all that you do not understand the concept of TEAM. just like your boy, cliff harris.

It is amazing to me that this Cliff thing has gotten to the boiling point on here. As far as I have heard, no one has ever said that he ISN'T playing this weekend correct? So what's the problem!? He clearly has an attitude problem, that hopefully he is working on. The incident this summer, as it turns out, was just a speeding ticket. BUT, what kind of judgement does it show, that he is driving HIGH at 118 mph with his starting QB in the car!? This could've easily turned into the most tragic accident UO sports has ever had to deal with, or an arrest for possession for both Cliff and Darron that would've lead to their dismissal from the team!! He clearly F'd up, and has been paying the price by having to by and large sit out the first part of the season…frankly he's lucky he didn't get booted off the team! This isn't Miami or Auburn…it's the OREGON DUCKS!! And I for one am glad that we have a head coach and a coaching staff that takes this stuff seriously and does the right thing, not only for the integrity of the program, but for the student athletes as well. In the end, this will make Cliff a better player, a better team mate, and most importantly of all, a better human being!!! GO DUCKS!!! WTD!!!!

let me clarify…
IF, Cliff had a suspension of 3 games - which I would accept,
then that would be one thing,but he served his time - but it still feels like he is serving some kind of secondary "unofficial" suspension
his bad attitude and rule breaking and undisciplined behavior and unpredictability last yr…
got the Ducks 5 ints, a pick 6, probably a couple of wins, and its second all american player on the team - not to mention the best punt returner in the USA
so this fan, and many others, does NOT see how Cliff "downgraded" his ability - and that is why we think something doesn't smell right
DakotaDuck, Corbett, OR
I think if something really didn't smell right, we'd be hearing about it thru other players/friends of CH via FB or Twitter or some other source. None of this is coming from the team as far as I can tell, not even Cliff himself.
I just think it is taking him a little bit of time to get back into game shape, since missing the first few games of the season. I am quite sure that he will play a significant roll in this weekends game against ASU and I for one am hoping that he displays all of the amazing talent that we all KNOW he has by breaking up numerous pass attempts and hopefully gets a pick or two as well as running back a punt for his 1st TD of the season!! -
Chip has been a duck for 4 years. I've been a duck for 40 years, so spare me the experience age bs. We've beaten this horse to death about cliff, so whatever happens happens. In 10years is chip still a duck? I doubt it, but I and most of us here still will be!

I trust the coaches, they're great.
May not win the big out of conference games, but hey they're great.
Terrysheldon, Eugene
Wow, speechless. The level of entitlement and temper tantrums by some of you is, just amazing. The coach knows his team and the individuals in the program. We really don't. He takes into account many, MANY more things other than just winning games, for which I am very appreciative. He has the long term health of this program at heart beyond the next game. Do you?
Do we really believe that the Coach would let his ego and some sort of power struggle with Cliff become more important than the team? More important than winning games? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Think about it. Kelly, like us all, has a high sense of self-preservation. He wants a job next year too. Letting one player ruin team chemistry, either by sloppy work habits, or by coddling him at other's expense, would pollute everything he has worked so hard to achieve. I'm glad he has all of this in perspective, beyond selfish fans claiming to have a right to watch a player play.
Alan Marlin
Yes, there is alot of pride and ego here. BUT, it's admirable that people still stick to their "guns" so-to-speak. At least this is heartfelt football, and they play to play, not to cry and make a big buck. I'd go for this anyday!!suspensions

Six followers of Boston's heretical Father Leonard Feeney, excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church for insisting that salvation is impossible for non-Catholics (TIME, March 2), were jailed in Chicago last week for disorderly conduct in front of Samuel Cardinal Stritch's office. They were promptly bailed out by one Mrs. Mary Thomason, Catholic but non-Feeneyite. "These boys are unwise in their approach," said Mrs. Thomason. "I should hate to feel that Senator Taft is not in heaven because he is not a Catholic. I know he is in heaven."
