Simplistic, but I think the Beavers are playing better because better players are playing. Dunn, Reichner and Luton have proven to be upgrades and it is showing with improved results. I don’t think it’s enough for a win because they need a lot more upgrades, but I would be disappointed if it’s a blow out. Maybe 38-24 Stanford.
Based on angry’s earlier interview, and my (rather sizeable) gut feeling, I’m thinking beavs hang tight and eek out a close victory…mark it down, bitches
While I appreciate and read the amuaturish observations of you rookies let the old coach weigh in here and once again take all the drama out of today’s contest by projecting the outcome with almost total accuracy.
The Beavs will play well in front of an apathetic Stanford team and crowd that is more concerned with the half time wine-tasting than the action on the field.
Beavs will lead at halftime for the first time in the Smith era. Shaw exerts the tree to pay attention plus a few OSU defensive lapses in the second half and they, Stanford, steal an undeserved victory. 28-21
It was close, probably like 0.1 seconds from being down. In real time when I was watching it live I thought he was down but I think as an official when it is that close you got to swallow the whistle and let it play out.
It’s slowly starting to swing back to center. Strangely enough Ninkasi recently released an actual IPA that tastes like IPA. Since they basically started the trend of way too hoppy bitter as hell IPA I find it amusing.
I know plenty of Brewers around town but unless you’re homebrewing with them you’re not getting anything other than what’s getting brewed for the kegs/bottles/cans.
On that note a friend of mine that is a local brewer has the recipe for Glen’s Best Bitter and we’re going to brew some up.
There are more brewers than are represented on store shelves. Even if I go to the Bier Stein or 16 Tons, I’m going for what’s selectively popular from each region. About the best I can do at the stores is to have MoC order a pig of Brown from Oregon Trail or something similar in a 22.
But why do that, when I can just stop in the next time I’m in town? The same holds true for all the mom & pops around town. And if you’ve been a part of the local brewing scene, you’ll know who makes what well when they go commercial.
Oregon spikes the ball with 2 seconds left. Game over. Need 3 on the clock to kill it for another play. Derp. Love the meltdown that program has gone through this year. Makes it easier to stomach our losses, to he honest
Yeah I don’t know what you’re supposed to do against those giant TEs. They’re just throwing jump balls to them.I’d love to blame the CBs on that but it’s just an impossible matchup.
…..UNLIKE that hook route where the receiver fell down, got back up, and STILL made a play faster than the CB who was 10 yards behind him for some reason. That’s on the CB.
Can’t wait until we get our next Poyer/Nelson/Weathersby…whomever. We really need some CBs lol
There was this whiteside highlight earlier in the season that looked kinda like that, on closer inspection whiteside grabs the cornerbacks elbow, pulls it down and he falls, jj runs for a td.
I’m tapping out for this game. What a bloodbath. Our offensive line and defensive back 7 are completely overmatched.
The play calling isn’t doing anyone any favors either. “Oh our offensive line is getting blown up? Better call some 7 step drop passes!” Throw a damn screen or two.
Remember, this is NCAA football. You’re not watching a team full of professionals playing against a team full of professionals… on even the worst of the professional level.
Wow Pac 12 network with some quality hires…Ryan Leaf? Glad he’s recovered (wasn’t he the one addicted to pain meds), but he’s terrible, and the guy with him sounds like he’s drunk.
I have an idea, instead of wasting another scholarship on an undersized, slow secondary player feel free to use that scholarship on a good place kicker. For fuck sake man.
Hilarious that they’re sucking that kid’s dick and going on and on about the size mismatch. He’s been on the field in every game this season and had like four receptions. The difference is that he’s playing against Oregon State’s poorly coached garbage secondary.
Minimal pass rush, so no pressure on the QB. I think it took four touchdowns before the coaches decided he might need to be double-teamed. I was thinking put our 6’5 Linebacker-McCartan on him, he looks pretty athletic. The results couldn’t be any worse than what was already happening.
These morons keep talking about Shaw wanting to get off to a fast start, changing up their routine to get them going, and they don’t simply acknowledge Stanford is playing one of the worst defenses in the country. Most teams and RBs have their “game of they season” against OSU this year.
Offense keeps getting behind the chains on 1st down, and that effectively kills the drive. Aside from lack of rest, there’s simply not enough time to communicate all of the defensive adjustments needed to be made for the next drive. The bare minimum for every offensive possession should be to at least run 6 or 7 plays.
OSU 2nd place or better in football the last 50 years:

OSU 2nd place or better in hoops the last 30 years:

OSU 2nd place or better in all other sports the last 1 year:

That game brought me back down to earth. This is going to take awhile. What I find hard to stomach is the continued poor tackling as a unit. I don’t know what you do about it except to get different players.
The good news:
If we hold UW and Nikegon to <64 points and <250 yards combined, our D can say they got better this year… against a weaker schedule… with a better offense keeping them off the field for longer stretches.
Watched a bit of the cal/usc game. Cal laid down 207 offensive yards and pulled off victory. Funny seeing competent blitzes/sacks. Made me wonder if having Houston play defense would have made the team any better.
So you agree that the mismanagement of the 3% of the forest lands that California manages (as opposed to the 60% that Dumbshit manages via his administration) should result in victims being threatened by POTUS?
You go ahead and explain how my meds are off, you piece of shit.
You’re going to have to point out the part where he said anything about not funding aid for victims.
Also, last I checked your boy Barry had the reins of the USFS and BLM for 8 of the last 10 years. This kind of thing isn’t preventable but it is certainly manageable, unless there’s a certain agenda that can be reenforced by things burning out of control.
In order to do that, the subject would need to have an inkling of a whim of an idea of what the fuck he’s talking about. This one clearly does not. So his diarrhea of the fingers are open for any and all interpretations.
I accept yours as a valid interpretation of his nonsense. You probably think he’s talking about choking the forest service even more than he has by de-funding it further, instead of the billions sent in relief of the victims, as his nonsense would have everyone believe since that’s the context in which his nonsense is communicated (for lack of a better word).
Of course, your interpretation would mean that he’s talking directly about his own mismanagement. So there’s that.
What is he even talking about? Controlled burns? Usually if you propose a controlled burn the people don’t want it because, ironically, they fear it will burn their houses down.
The Camp, Carr and Tubbs Fires are all massive and fast because of climate change. And they were exacerbated by urban sprawl.
So maybe he’s saying that people shouldn’t be developing where wildfires are inevitable, especially in an age where we know that climate change makes it that much more dangerous?
Climate change…..hehe. We will soon control the Sun, volcanoes, and sea temperatures with an App. on our I-phone. It’s coming! And you get 5% cash back for each climate event you alter.
Jack, you’re so full of shit can smell your breath here in Central Oregon.
Yep, we know a little about fires here and the President is right on task. So shut the fuck up since you’re talking out your ass…because your mouth knows better. Well, maybe not.
Same problem we have here…can’t clean up the forests to get rid of the stuff on the ground. I believe the FS, etc. needs to be proactive to keep the forests cleaner and jump on fires sooner.
But what do they do, wait until a fire is out of control before they mobilize. They do it year after year and in some case have starred the fire themselves.
One of the worst fires we had here was started after USFS was “slash burning” and went off and left the fires after they got going, then the wind came up… What did they say? Oops!
He is such a dishonest ass He knows nothing about forest or water management (he’s suggested rivers in Ca don’t need to reach the ocean: why complete that pesky hydrologic cycle)? and he’s assigning the scale and intensity of these fires to the wrong cause because he doesn’t want to acknowledge climate change for fear of upsetting his base, and because he’s anti-California. He actually gets to convince his base he’s anti-elitist! Ha! Oh, and throw those suffering under the bus and make a childish threat….
The military, of which he is commander-in-chief, will tell him climate change is real, and they have evolving strategies because of it. Super insurance companies, who insure the insurance companies who cover real estate (isn’t he a real estate magnate?) will tel him climate change is real, and its affecting their rates…but he’ll misrepresent the issue even after awful events like the deaths from these wildfires.
The whole climate change issue has become political and therefore divisive. It ranges from some people not believing in it at all to those that blame everything bad that happens on it.
Must be why the beavers lost and tree won yesterday.
Yeah I mean the bottom line is it’s getting warmer and water is rising, and humans don’t deal well with heat or water. So, to me, remove the political stuff and this is basically another form of Pascal’s Wager. If your specie does not do well in heat or water then don’t fuck around with increasing heat or water.
I get climate change and we need to change behavior, but what caused the ice age and what would prevent that from happening again in the future? It’s hard to grasp some of the things that are going to happen because our window of time is so short and it’s human nature to be self-centered..
Volcanoes are going to blow again in the NW, earthquakes are going to devastate California. The fault lines in the Midwest didn’t just disappear. I’m a fatalist to some extent, Mother Nature is going to fuck us up in the end anyway. Our arrogance may be moving it along quicker than it should, but things will happen that we can’t control. Timing is everything in life.
The climate is incredibly complex and there are a lot of things (most things imho) that cannot be controlled by humans. Like the sun and volcanic eruptions (two biggies).
I get all that, but my overarching thought is this is Pascal’s Wager. There is really nothing to lose by believing we contribute to the problem. People argue about jobs and economic fallout, but that’s what creative destructionism is for…either way coal/oil, etc are coming to an end over the next 20 years via that process.
I don’t think the people on the other side are stupid, but they have a vested interest in believing there’s no problem, and it’s usually some economic reason that is veiled by claims of “bad science”/”large scope”.
I stand by my comment, if you truly believe man isn’t a serious part of the problem you are stupid
For the record, I don’t believe most GOP politicians believe man isn’t a serious part of the problem, they’ve just decided to ignore what they believe and instead lie to their gullible voters.
“special kind of stupid” As I said, it has become political.
Oh… I see what you’re talking about. You’re stuck on the whole “truth isn’t truth, therefore, truth is opinion,” thing.
Sorry. Being ignorant or stupid is a thing. It’s not a political thing, unless you foment ignorance or stupidity for political gains.
angry is correct. There are actors who foment ignorance and stupidity for economic gain. angry is also wrong. Their science is not and never was bad. Their science is pretty much right in line with the consensus. In fact, it was more comprehensive at the time (35 years ago) than most studies, because they had the money to make such studies. It was good science. It was just buried then propagandized against. You could say that they knew how best to foment stupidity, because they knew best how real the issue was… and now is.
And now we get to deal with stupids regurgitating 35 year-old propaganda as if it means something.
I mean… if you had or have a god, why would you align with some chiseling scum who thinks coal can ever be something clean? I’ve used the term “clean dirt” quite a bit in my life. But it has meaning. Clean coal also has meaning, although, it is much different than Dumbshit thinks it is.
97% is so 80s… if you’re talking about agreeing that climate change is happening.
If you’re talking about climate studies referencing anthropomorphic climate change, 75% agreed on that consensus (studies, not scientists)… 15 years ago. The remaining 25% were localized studies which didn’t make any mention of or have anything to do with global studies.
In other words, there were zero studies whose researchers even thought they could spin it so they could even pretend to disagree with the consensus… not that politicians and lobbyists didn’t take up that mantle.
That number (again, studies, not scientists) is now 97%. Apparently, most of those localized studies can no longer ignore the bigger picture.
So why do you do it?
Science isn’t that hard if you actually read the words and run the numbers.
Note: I’m pretty sure you were being sarcastic, but some people make that the only defense of their ignorance. And then I get to listen to them explain to me how I just don’t understand them. Holy hell, people! Get a clue.
The whole climate change issue has become political and therefore divisive. It ranges from some people not believing in it at all to those that blame everything bad that happens on it.
Ummm… no.
Anthropomorphic climate change is a thing. Science says so. Some crackpots or crooks say it’s not.
That’s about it.
If anyone wants to discuss the existence of gravity and how it’s politically divisive, I’ll be here.
And it always will change. It has been constantly changing for 4.5 billion years.
Let me ask you this: if all humans died today, blink of an eye, all gone. Would the climate stop changing?
Of course humans have an environmental impact on their environment. How much of one is the question, and that question has not been answered. Not even by “97% of scientists”.
Outright denial is silly for sure. Just as silly is blaming every gust of wind or turtle fart on your neighbor’s Tahoe.
As usual, actual reality lies somewhere in the middle, between “everything’s fine, you hippies shut the fuck up!” and “OMG Al Gore told me the world is going to end because of you rednecks!”
The fact is that this country is full of gullible, over emotional pawns that love to get riled up and hate “the other side”.
“OMG Al Gore told me the world is going to end because of you rednecks!”
This sentiment was a straw man created by the same people who said Al Gore said he created the internet, another straw man. Sure, there are dummies on whatever sides you think have sides. But at least credit the origins with their dues. The same people who created, “everything’s fine, you hippies shut the fuck up!” created the Al Gore lies.
They just thought you alll were too stupid to know the difference.
Hell, Dumbshit even said this aloud during a campaign, and he still got elected. He loves the stupids.
Why do none of his adherents actually listen to what the pseudo-man says? He shits on normal people. Then he pretends to love them, sometimes saying out loud that he’s just pretending. Then he says he hates them again.
Gravity, shmavity. how can there be gravity when the earth is flat? I supposed that’s why I’ve never taken a cruise. I’m afraid, the cruise ship would get to the end, and off the edge we’d go. I mean I’m not sure where we would end up….maybe China?
This doesn’t explain how the Imperial Valley is becoming a desert over time… and how we’ll be living in California weather in a matter of a couple decades. All the other science climate change deniers… um… deny/ignore/have-zero-clues-about… proves that just fine.
The water wars have already begun. If you don’t already know this, you’re going to be left in the dust… quite literally.
So we’re against making money and having friends, now?
Climate change is only profitable for those who recognize it and see opportunity.
If you want to rail about sweetheart deals and subsidizing cronies (or just subsidizing potential voters), you’ll have to wait until a less egregious actor is in the WH. He adds to that tally at an accelerated pace, relative to all predecessors in the last century, minus LBJ and Harding.
Oh… and those most capable of taking advantage of new tech combined with incentivized investments are those who already have the money. That’s why Big Oil benefited more than anyone.
If you want to go back to thinking there are “sides” to this issue, I’ll gladly concede the Dem leadership was just as in bed with monied energy “interests” as the whole of the GOP, just to end it.
The problem is that the invisible hand has failed. angry was right about just making the investments necessary to CYA in case there were any doubts.
But we all know that the market only cares about the short term, going for the easy here-and-now instead of investment. They would rather buy super-bunkers than spend that money setting up their companies and country for the future, negating the need for super-bunkers.
Remember, it’s not about class warfare. It’s about representative democracy.
We’ve chosen to be represented by a cowardly punk, a loser in business many times over, a really rich brat who would be more rich if he did nothing but hire a broker when his father died and left him hundreds of millions of dollars (after bailing him out several times previously, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars). We’re represented by a guy who sells properties at twice their value just because some Russians with large bank accounts in Malta and Uzbekistan need some way to clean that money.
And all this was pretty well known before he even ran. But he’s immune to scandals (so many scandals) which would destroy any other politician… because he’s anti-elitist?
He doesn’t even do that well, btw. His dog whistles about globalism and elites are borne from anti-semitic and racist propaganda. This is where I think he’s just a moron. I don’t think he’s anti-semitic. But his language is, without him knowing it.
You can’t think that pseudo-man cares about his appearance
His lack of vanity is his one saving grace. He’s fat and ugly. He wears ill-fitting clothes. He doesn’t know how to tie a tie. He tans (why? Jersey?) with shades. He has the most obvious comb-over ever created.
It would be endearing if all his ugliness didn’t mirror his ignorance. He could be as stupid as he is and will the people to love him for himself, instead of the extreme hate and chiseling he’s responsible for.
If he ever complains about the Mueller investigation in terms of cost, think about how he has spent more of our tax dollars on only the air travel involved for his golf weekends and campaign rallies.
The most transparent administration in the history of the world, and ever, decided not to actually give any of the info the half-black’s admin gave concerning White House visits, travel, SS costs, everything, etc.
But at least they’re the most transparent admin ever, including all of history… so says Dumbshit… and so believes the stupids.
When Dumbshit complained about the half-black from Kenya playing golf, it was a bunch of rounds at Andrews or Belvoir. He never used his position (shouldn’t say never, but once or twice is close to never) to play Army Navy. And he certainly didn’t spend tens of millions of our tax dollars on only the travel involved to get to those golf courses… and then hide all the costs involved with SS protection, incidentals and greens fees… at a course he owned and, against the salaries clause in the COTUS, paid himself.
Spoiler alert
At the end of year 4 he’ll get shot by gangsters while reaching for his zippo and we’ll be forced to listen to him sing. You’ve been warned
After reading up on why he decided to dis vets, I think I’m wrong about the rain. I think it’s more likely he doesn’t like to ride in cars and be away from a bathroom for more than “too long.”
That’s the sound America hears from the rest of the world on a daily basis… sometimes hourly.
Oh well. Having no moral compass means the next person can start from scratch, ignoring the whiny pissants who put Dumbshit in office and their whiny, irrational hate of America.
At least David Duke is happy. That’s good. He’s pretty much the face of Trump supporters now.
As usual I nailed it right on the nose. Only missed a couple of small items. These games are so easy. Its child’s play for the old coach. I can’t wait to be rained with +s from all you rookies. Thanks in advance. JB
I have a friend in Fayetteville who knows all about that situation.
What actually happened, the woman that Petrino was sleeping with was engaged to Arkansas’ swimming and diving coach. The guy found out about this affair and beat the living shit out of Petrino.
The motorcycle crash story was made up to cover that incident up.
Wasn’t he all wrapped up in weird bandages that looked like some supermarket grape-slip victim? I remember at the time looking at the bandages and thinking, “Shouldn’t he be in traction?”
He looked like he had Vaseline or some other ointment all over his face. And that neck brace. Like the kind one would wear when filing a fake workman’s comp claim.
People are expecting Louisville to hire him away after the improvement last year. Stinks but what can you do. After playing like total crap Saturday the thought is easier to swallow.
#rodentdomination. Also swept Boilers in volleyball. I thought we would get crushed, but Purdue played like they didn’t want to play in the cold and snow. He is a good coach. Perhaps the money in the B1G keeps him around.
Unfortunately, he was part of a negative NFL history. First time that a team has had 500 yards of offense and only scored 3 points! Jacquizz also fumbled 18 yards forward on a play that resulted in a touchback. Not a good day for the Bucs in a 16-3 loss to the Redskins.
Since 2014 in the NFL, but we all should be familiar with his amazing ball security. Fumbled ONCE his entire college career and it was on a funky backwards pass from the QB that was not his fault.
It wasn’t even a backwards pass, which has driven me crazy since that was the only fumble credited to him in his career. Go watch a replay(if you really have nothing better to do) and you’ll see the ref got the call wrong. It was an incomplete lateral pass, which is not a fumble.
I remember it as a backward pass. But it also should not have been a fumble charged to Quizz. He never had possession and didn’t have time to gather a bad toss before getting clobbered.
Found a clip of the fumble/pass play from the Vegas bowl. Forward to about 1:10.
It’s a crappy angle. If that pass is indeed backwards, it would have to be by a foot or so. Watching a sideline replay back in the day, it looked like Canfield was on the same line when he released the ball as where Quizz was when he attempted to catch it. But no review or whatever, so it stood as backwards.
Army, Syracuse and Buffalo with your man Leopold? Navy has been a model of consistency, I don’t know what the hell happened this year? They’ve been to a bowl game in something like 13 out of the last 14 seasons.
It’s pretty much a down year, with a lot of good to great players leaving last year. The system requires a couple tough-as-nails backs and backers with some wiggle in the hips, QB being the most important. He has a roster of two to three-hundred players. The right personnel will rise to the top soon enough.
Or, Niumatalolo is uninspired and disliking his current employment.
A rare check on OLive, and they break down the Ducks top 10 issues:
1) The defense cannot stop the run consistently
It’s becoming more and more apparent that Oregon’s impressive start to the season against the run was all smoke and mirrors, skewed by a terrible non-conference schedule featuring the worst running offense in the country and another in the bottom 10.
The Ducks have allowed three straight teams, all of whom rely heavily on the run, to play to their strength and for those opposing running backs to have banner days.
J.J. Taylor is a fine back, but Oregon knew it had to contain him and couldn’t. Joshua Kelley is one of the few weapons UCLA has and Oregon couldn’t stop him. But those players dwarf Armand Shyne, whose career performance is more of an indictment on the Oregon front seven and defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt than it is a credit to the Utes backup.
Oregon’s front seven was supposed to be the strength of its defense. The last three weeks it’s been a liability and the challenges don’t get any easier with Arizona State’s Eno Benjamin and Oregon State’s Jermar Jefferson.
2) Offensive identity and play-calling is not the problem, talent is;
The Ducks have allowed three straight teams, all of whom rely heavily on the run, to play to their strength and for those opposing running backs to have banner days.
J.J. Taylor is a fine back, but Oregon knew it had to contain him and couldn’t. Joshua Kelley is one of the few weapons UCLA has and Oregon couldn’t stop him.

Also sounds like RB, LB, and OLine are thin due to injuries.
So, as Jack suggests, maybe come the CW we can see more Jefferson and Pierce and less throwing…be patient, keep running the ball. Would love to see these two have big games against the Ducks.
The Ducks have two problems:
1. They’re the Ducks
2. See number 1
I don’t get our play calling. I guess I don’t get the conventional wisdom, if that’s the case.
The problem with making fun of Cristobal is that he’s developing a team which will compete simply because of the talent he manages to assemble. They’ll still end up missing their mark by “three or four plays” during a season, simply because they have a mediocre coach calling the shots. But if they choose to ignore his miscalls, they could catch lightning in a bottle.
Emperor Tang claiming elections are being stolen on Veterans Day is beyond rich. Captain Bone Spurs can’t walk into a WWI cemetery because it’s raining too hard. Lots of good men died crawling through the mud for us.
Dumbshit told all his critics to stuff it while he was laying that wreath at Arlington yesterday.
He loves the vets! You people need to… *sniffle*…you people need to just shut up… *sniffle*… about such a great man… the greatest ever… of all time… in history even… I mean the greatest this country has ever see… the greatest country ever… except for now, because we need to make it the greatest again… it’s really a third-world country, in many ways… but it’s the greatest… and you can’t say mean things about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didnt read it, somethings wrong with the page. But mueller knew some guys were set up on murder charges by bulger and the mole fbi agent on bulgers pay roll. And then continued to send letters during their parole hearings asking them not to be let out. This was a scandal many years before mueller went after trump. Which im almost positive what your nyt article is about.
The judge who wrote this… https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/1614593/limone-v-united-states/
… is basically calling out Hannity and Limbaugh for being liars. She says she named all the names that could be named in that case. Naming those two turds and calling them out (for what they pretty much always do) is right in line with her statement of action.
I hadn’t really heard much about the case, other than it was just another smh moment about the death penalty. But you seemed to bought into the lies enough to bring it up. That was touched on by the judge as a reason to not continue being lying turds. Apparently, people think those two are credible sources and believe what they say.
Oh… and she says that if there are letters, they need to produce them. They’re the only people who would have them. The government doesn’t have any. They were never produced by the plaintiffs as evidence (of which there is plenty), and the authors of Black Mass never knew of their existence. They aren’t damning, given the circumstances of the case. But they would prove that at least Hannity and Limbaugh are telling the truth about something… anything.
They don’t even name the correct case. I wonder if they actually read the above decision. Or do you think the market is so flawed that they can profit by leading the TLDR crowd, without reading it themselves?
But what would the federal judge who pored over every document in that case, heard and saw all the testimony, knew every in and out of it and tore the FBI an unprecedented new orifice in the end… really know about it?
Comey strikes me as someone like Brent Ashcroft. And I say that knowing they’re good friends and have worked together forever. There’s just a self-righteous, soft-spoken flakiness about those two. It’s like listening to Jimmy Swaggart when either of them speak.
The problem anyone has with Mueller is that he’s a real boy scout. They don’t know how to deal with that, other than to eat shit, regurgitate it and blow it out their face-sphincters. They want real Americans investigating the vainglorious and flaccid phallus of a pseudo-man that is Dumbshit… like these guys: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a23081554/kenneth-starr-brett-kavanaugh-hack/
This just in:
Mike Bellotti has stated he has no interest in the job.
Les Miles says he’d be interested in coaching at a school who cares enough about football to… um… spend money on it.
Rick Neuheisel really needs at least 100 captive souls for open mike night.
Beau Baldwin says he’s already the new head coach.
Might help us with an uncommitted guy like Liku, since we are in this top 2 with Colorado.
Guys like Carl Jones(ATH/DB), KJ Trujillo(DB), Tarik Lucket(WR), Cam Johnson(OL), Jaren Mangham(RB) have OSU offers, but I dont know that any have OSU as a backup plan. Maybe Carl?
Lucket will probably stay at CO because he’s a legacy guy who likes the school.
Ge would probably be the best case scenario for OSU to poach a Colorado guy prior to signing day. Like that he posted the video of OSU beating CO in his oregon state offer announcement.
Has a ton of options to big name programs, but not sure how many can offer an inmediate starting spot next year like the Beavs can. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on as we approach early signing day in December
Hunt will develop to eventually be better than ok. He just needs to discover that he has a right hand… and tighten up his left. There’s nothing Tinks can do with his form at this point. Maybe some time in the weight room will make it more fluid.
At first glance, it’s a pretty good schedule. Solid non conference opponents. SOS should be good enough to get the beavs in the tourney if they have a winning conference record.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the Beavs were working to get former USC grad transfer DB Ykili Ross. Might be a name we hear more about as we get closer to the beginning of Winter term
Rueck and the WBB team have officially signed their 2 5* recruits for this class.
Seems like this should be a bigger news story than the “meh” coverage it’s been receiving.
Per Rueck pregame, the two LOI’s came during shoot around this am. “Both amazing players and amazing people; their families did a great job researching where they’d fit in.”
I tuned into the Pac12 network webcast of the mid-day WBB game today. It’s some type of kids day at Gill for elementary kids. They’re panning across the crowd to get the kid’s reactions when they show up on tv and there’s pop music playing in the stadium…”Since you’ve been gone” (not sure who sings it)
Anyway, Jon Warren is on the mic, and must not realize the mic is live throughout the entire broadcast, and I can hear him belt out some of the lyrics to “since you’ve been gone…”
Pretty funny. I’m surprised how frequently the broadcasters don’t realize their mics are live and they just start talking about off topic stuff to whoever they’re sitting with. Pretty loose operation.
Tune in now if you want to see the WBB team play a non-con game for free.
Don’t expect to see a good test for OSU today.
After 1 it’s Arkansas Pine Bluff 4, Oregon State 26.
I don’t think APB scored after about the 1st minute or 2 of the game.
39-6 Beavs with about 6 minutes to go before half-time.
Lots of steals and then the Beavs are off to the races. I’d say smothering defense and ball movement have been the story of the game for the Beavs. Still missing several point blank shots at the rim would be my main criticism.
Really hard to get a good gauge for this team based on the competition level. Good energy all around and better/bigger athletes than APB. Entertaining team to watch though. Wish we could see Aquino out there
She’s suiting up and running through pregame warmups. Seems unlikely she would do so if she had injury issues. Speculation of course, but I’m wondering if she doesn’t have an eligibility issue so Rueck doesn’t want to play her until it’s resolved. It does seem odd the team has declined any comment on details.
I do remember a story from back around the time the Beavs were first linked with her name. Saw some fans from another school bitching their school missing out on her because of eligibility issues. Something about her moving to the US after playing a brief professional stint in South America or something, and them being surprised OSU was able to successfully recruit her. I’ll have to dig around to see if I can find it again, because my memory is pretty spotty on this.
Here’s the story. My memory was a little off. There’s a lot to digest here, but essentially it boiled down to the details behind how she was brought to the states from Paraguay, and I think people were concerned she could be found ineligible due to the “impermissible” benefits she may have received (housing, food….basic essentials) when she first moved over to the US.
If the NCAA is still poking around to understand those details, it could maybe explain why OSU would be cautious to let her play just yet. Sortof like how Oregon avoided any penalties for Lache Seastrunk, because they never actually played the guy.
Hopefully this isn’t it, but if it is, who knows how long it could take the NCAA to clear her to play.
If I remember correctly, the comments section of this article had some interesting information as well. I don’t have time to read into it now though.
yes, she is medical redshirt for the season. I know exactly what the issue is but was politely asked not to share. We will not see her this season unfortunately. It has nothing to do with eligibility, academics or otherwise. It’s medical and precautionary and that’s all I can share. It’s too bad because with her, we’d have a big that can actually be a threat inside and out.
Ron Callan is calling the game, Jon Warren is on his way to the islands to cover MBB.
Agree, the frequency of unknown “live mic” comments is surprising. Happens with baseball as well.
One tipoff: Warren usually spends lots of time explaining how difficult it is to coordinate all the electronics involved in a broadcast, that and remembering his HS basketball days. LOL
Oh, and Callan actually is a singer; did the German Natl Anthem with Marie’s dad last year and was part of a choir in college.
It’s an encouraging sign that Rueck pulled this recruiting class from the middle of the country. He’s brought the program to the brink of perennial national power and players all over the country are noticing. Unthinkable during the Wagner days.
The rumor in the Twin Cities is that da Beavs are still in the running for the top player in the 2020 class, PG Paige Buekers. Other schools are ND, U Conn, and Minnesota. She plays at the HS just down the street from my office.
You could substitute Dominionist Gospel and Hillary Clinton if you’re a “there are sides” kind of person. It’s not quite as disturbing as the Proesperity Gospel, but it’s equally blasphemous. You’d have to be familiar with Doug Coe and the National Prayer Breakfast and that whole association. They’re playing a longer game. It’s why I just shake my head whenever a Dem starts to ridicule the End Times Gospel. That’s just low hanging fruit, and it’s a distraction. https://amos37.com/the-gospel-according-to-dominionism/
But if you’ve ever had to deal with an elder who just seems to have lost their intelligence, savvy and fiscal discipline, there is a barrage of predatory requests for tithing in the name of everything that’s supposed to be good… or at least paid for in full by our government. Disabled vets? Why aren’t we giving them a Cadillac ride for what they’ve sacrificed, unless what we say and do regarding how we value them are in direct conflict?
Here’s an article some might find interesting, about a football player’s efforts to cope with depression and the pressure of playing DI football. A UW recruit who ended up transferring to PSU for a less stressful environment:
Eggers summarizes OSU’s historic defensive season as follows:
“The Beavers yield an average of 45.1 points and 542.8 yards per game. The former is on pace to set a school single-season record, higher than the current mark of 42.5 points per game given up by the 1981 OSU team. That group, in coach Joe Avezzano’s second season, went 1-10 and featured losses to Stanford (63-9), Washington (56-17) and Southern Cal (56-22).
The total defense stat is almost certainly on pace for a school record — the modern game produces more offense than ever before.
Among the 129 FBS teams this season, Oregon State ranks last in opponents’ third-down conversion percentage (.504), 128th in scoring defense and total defense, 124th in opponents’ first downs per game (25.8), tied for 124th in passes intercepted (three), 125th in rushing defense per game (271.5) and tied for 123rd in sacks (10) and turnovers gained (eight). That’s unprecedented across-the-board ineptitude. ”
And bol bol does not look like a lottery pick. Sometime will take a flyer on him but he will get hurt constantly for how frail he is. Outside shooing for them is weak. Might change when king comes back but he won’t be fully healthy until probably January with torn meniscus. Go Hawkeyes!!!!
Bol has good size(height) and moves well for a guy that tall. Blocks shots decently. But to say he’s in the conversation for top 2018 recruit, with guys like Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and RJ Barret, is absolutely false. ESPN had them all graded out the same last year. Zion and Barrett have been in a different orbit this year.
I know it’s annoying to see the Williamson hype train at ESPN this year, but the guy is putting up some crazy numbers so far. Averaging over 25 ppg on 82% FG %??? And it’s not all dunks. With 10+ rebounds and a few assists sprinkled in.
I will post this again in the event you are not aware of the situation with Acquino. She is out for the season with an undisclosed medical issue. She will red shirt this year. I was politely asked not to share the medical condition for the sake of her privacy and so I’m honoring that agreement I made with the person that told me. Her absence from playing has absolutely nothing to do with eligibility, academics or anything associated with those to things. Hopefully, she will play next season. I’m not quite sure why they have not disclosed the fact she will redshirt and find that somewhat interesting but there you have it.
Is our football team the worst performing athletic program out of all programs at Oregon State? I don’t follow every sport, it’s safe to say Baseball, WBB, Men’s Soccer, Gymnastics, Women’s Golf, Softball, Volleyball, Wrestling all hold their own in league. Do we have any other consistently terrible programs with respect to league competition, like our football team?
Why is it every other athletic program at our school can field a competitive team?
Is it the absence of moral killing body-bag road games to start the season…? With the exception being Louisiana State. Beavs have had their asses handed to them by the likes of Louisville, Cincinnati, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State….any others? Cincinnati and Louisville are garbage now….Luck O da football beavs?
The Cincinnati bearcats are 7-9 in bowl games, getting stomped in their last three+ bowls (Belk, Military, and Hawaii) by a combined score of 114-41 — last bowl in 2015. They beat OSU in 2009 on their way to the Sugar bowl after being in the Orange bowl the year before.
Having them ranked #24 is laughable — good luck to them though, they will probably go win the title now that I’ve lambasted them.
The coach is the former DC and interim HC at Ohio State, while waiting on Urban, Luke Fickell.
He is building a sustainable program based on defense. His connections after playing and coaching at tOSU get him into a lot of living rooms in Ohio. There are a ton of good players in that state and with Urban going national with recruiting, more for the regional teams to grab on to. I suspect a few years of success will get him a gig in the B1G.
In fairness OSU did beat Wisky a few years ago at home, although that was more of an anomaly.
I seem to remember Barnes laying out his vision for scheduling, pretty much staying out of those early season wipeouts.
Something like mid-tier P5, upper tier FBS (non-P5), and a FCS type school. That seems like a better formula that the BDC approach and better than the quacks 3 FCS games, AT HOME no less.
Riley cast a pall over VFC. “You can’t recruit to Corvallis.” The ridiculous narrative Bikey created to cover his ass, and parroted by fools like Hearsay Lindsay, is bunk. Success in other programs at the school prove that. Can “the return” of another OSU favored son finally get things on track?
anybody have a link for the 10AM MBB game vs Old Dominion? (game 1 of the Paradise Jam for OSU)
Looks like the official stream is on some site called Flohoops.com, but you have to subscribe at $30 per month in order to get the game. F…..THAT……
Found the reddit thread for the game, but so far no links have been added.
Maybe closer to game time?
24-26 at the half. We continue to shoot poorly in the first half, including at the line. But at least we’re getting to the line. Second half adjustments have been good this year. So we’ll see how it plays out.
When I typed this, the two plays (which I may have overstated… I think it’s three) were recent with Reichle getting involved. After I typed it, they started dumping the ball to G. And with Reichle and G involved, we came back from a 53-44 deficit and won 61-56.
It’s amazing how your team gets better when two of the five aren’t just pick-machines.
I should’ve credited Kelley with being a part of the comeback. But the O wasn’t running through him. He was just taking what he could get from the others missing shots. Still, gotta applaud the workers.
Sometimes you just have to look at the numbers as a coach. When you think you’re not making any shots, look at who’s taking all the shots. If the people who aren’t taking shots aren’t getting assists, that means only the people taking the shots are touching the ball.
That said, Missouri is average at best. Picked to finish anywhere from 9th -11th in the SEC. As i write this they are struggling with Kennesaw State. Leading by one with three minutes left.
I thought the numbers for Big G — 15 points, 9 boards — were really encouraging. Between he and Kelly we might have a reasonable post presence this year.
Simplistic, but I think the Beavers are playing better because better players are playing. Dunn, Reichner and Luton have proven to be upgrades and it is showing with improved results. I don’t think it’s enough for a win because they need a lot more upgrades, but I would be disappointed if it’s a blow out. Maybe 38-24 Stanford.
After reading Hank’s piece, I think we have a shot? Sounds like they have some problems, too.
I’ve very leery after the Cal debacle. If that game had been competitive, I would have a more positive outlook.
Based on angry’s earlier interview, and my (rather sizeable) gut feeling, I’m thinking beavs hang tight and eek out a close victory…mark it down, bitches
While I appreciate and read the amuaturish observations of you rookies let the old coach weigh in here and once again take all the drama out of today’s contest by projecting the outcome with almost total accuracy.
The Beavs will play well in front of an apathetic Stanford team and crowd that is more concerned with the half time wine-tasting than the action on the field.
Beavs will lead at halftime for the first time in the Smith era. Shaw exerts the tree to pay attention plus a few OSU defensive lapses in the second half and they, Stanford, steal an undeserved victory. 28-21
I suppose you would be happy if the Beavs have 7 yards of passing at halftime like in your heyday?
This sure didn’t age well
I think Tree sells out to stop Jefferson. If it works they win. If they can’t then he has a huge day and probably leads to a win.
Anyone with a free steam for the hoops game? Reddit ncaa hoops streams is down
Hoops wins 83-64 and women’s XC qualifies for the ncaas for the first time. Good day to be a Beaver. Will it end up being a great day? ?
Stanford isn’t dumb. They’ll run the ball all day. Limit their defenses exposure and give Bryce love a ton of carries.
They may not be dumb but you are if you thought that USC fumble was even close
It was close, probably like 0.1 seconds from being down. In real time when I was watching it live I thought he was down but I think as an official when it is that close you got to swallow the whistle and let it play out.
Do you root against the Ducks or Anderpants?
I’m going to miss tonight’s game again due to social obligations. Ugh.
Always the Ducks
FTD
Tough call…
Equally douchey/delusional fan bases, although eugene is closer to Corvallis so more of them to deal with.
Ugly uniforms…push
Coaching, GA and whitless more unlikable
Cities…one in oregon, one a Mormon enclave
Can I just root for injuries or is that bad karma?
ducks. Don’t care about anderpants
OT – Game Menu: Elk Burgers, Fresh Cut fries…..mayhaps a hazy IPA…
First 2 sound great, but IPAs with elk? I would think a stout would pair better.
Kind of hooked on the hoppy IPAs….
That’s good.
It seems that’s about all you can get these days.
It’s slowly starting to swing back to center. Strangely enough Ninkasi recently released an actual IPA that tastes like IPA. Since they basically started the trend of way too hoppy bitter as hell IPA I find it amusing.
Prismatic. Give it a try it’s good.
Well… you can get what you want if you have some corny kegs and know some of the brewmasters around town.
But a quick stop in the stores gives me a selection of IPAs, hefes and ciders… and the standard cat piss beers.
I know plenty of Brewers around town but unless you’re homebrewing with them you’re not getting anything other than what’s getting brewed for the kegs/bottles/cans.
On that note a friend of mine that is a local brewer has the recipe for Glen’s Best Bitter and we’re going to brew some up.
There are more brewers than are represented on store shelves. Even if I go to the Bier Stein or 16 Tons, I’m going for what’s selectively popular from each region. About the best I can do at the stores is to have MoC order a pig of Brown from Oregon Trail or something similar in a 22.
But why do that, when I can just stop in the next time I’m in town? The same holds true for all the mom & pops around town. And if you’ve been a part of the local brewing scene, you’ll know who makes what well when they go commercial.
I should say that I drive through or by Corvallis at least twice a week. My region for knowing brewers is probably expanded beyond a normal range.
But the premise holds true. Find your people. Get your people to feed you beer.
Oregon spikes the ball with 2 seconds left. Game over. Need 3 on the clock to kill it for another play. Derp. Love the meltdown that program has gone through this year. Makes it easier to stomach our losses, to he honest
Utes nice drives to come back; without first string QB and RB…………suck it Phil!!
OT: One of our tailgating neighbors/friends Gary stops by and introduces himself to our guests.
Gary Andersen!
Fuck the ducks and their ugly small boy pants!!!
Oh look, Bryce Love, soon-to-be Pac 12 Player of the Week!
Our defense is sub-Bankerian
Nice D
There was D?
Yeah, the one they bent over and took
You have interesting ideations.
Is there something you’re not telling yourself?
The answer to Stanford’s slow starts? The Beavers D….
Nice, I taught Jake that play!
Luton’s 2nd dumb pass turns into a punt…
Love thrown for a loss! Nice.
Another slow start for beavs
I know who Luton reminds me of.
He’s a right-handed Eric Wilhelm.
He’ll probably spend a decade holding a clipboard at Cincy too.
*Erik
derp
First three and out for Beavs D !
Shit, that was easy!
They should just do that every time.
Not holding… flat out tackling the defender.
No call.
Seems like it is consistently not called any more…
Finally, an INT by the Beavers…
Won’t be surprised if Stanford’s QB is knocked out of the game.
Funny to hear the Beavers fans on the telecast….”Let’s go Beavers!”
Clap, clap, clap clap clap…
Hysterical
How many people are there?
Looks like about 200
Heh, they Chouk’d it
Tree’s second TD just like Hank said…….6’7″ TE vs Beav CB at 5’9″
Then, What, missed PAT??
Hit the right pole
Stanford’s receivers all look 6 inches taller and 50 lbs heavier than all of our DBs
That’s because they are all tight ends.
Is this a stanford broadcast or pac12? What a bunch of fucking homers for the tree
We don’t have a “defense”, we have a “fen”. Starts late, quits early.
5′ 8″, unathletic and poorly coached is such a great defensive back combo.
You forgot inexperienced…
Yeah I don’t know what you’re supposed to do against those giant TEs. They’re just throwing jump balls to them.I’d love to blame the CBs on that but it’s just an impossible matchup.
…..UNLIKE that hook route where the receiver fell down, got back up, and STILL made a play faster than the CB who was 10 yards behind him for some reason. That’s on the CB.
Can’t wait until we get our next Poyer/Nelson/Weathersby…whomever. We really need some CBs lol
So they can stand 10 yards behind the receiver when the ball is delivered?
WHY WAS THAT FATTY IN OUR BACKFIELD BEFORE THE HANDOFF????
This line is killing me.
I swear they’re so bad that it looks like they’re doing it on purpose sometimes.
Last half of USC and first half of this game so far Luton seems to be throwing it late and putting it up for grabs.
Hard to get into a rhythm and make a good throw when you have about 2 seconds after the snap before someone is in your face
How’d our long snapper miss creaming the punt returner there??
Their tight ends push off every friggin time
This
With a 12″ height and 100# weight advantage, you wouldn’t think that was necessary
There was this whiteside highlight earlier in the season that looked kinda like that, on closer inspection whiteside grabs the cornerbacks elbow, pulls it down and he falls, jj runs for a td.
Sometimes, all you can do is laugh…
Hahahahaha ha ha …. ha…….ha. :-(
And then we put an OLB on the same TE, and he falls down trying to cover.
Awesome. Classic Beavers lol
Wait… there’s a halftime?
That play action sack took 12 hours to develop. Bad play.
Stanford’s headed towards 40+ by halftime, and I think that’s being conservative
I’m tapping out for this game. What a bloodbath. Our offensive line and defensive back 7 are completely overmatched.
The play calling isn’t doing anyone any favors either. “Oh our offensive line is getting blown up? Better call some 7 step drop passes!” Throw a damn screen or two.
I love being a Beaver fan :) :) :)
There is something comforting about certainty in life
Arthega-whiteside? Wtf are these announcers saying
Same boners that call Noah “TONGiai”.
Hey angry, you and Stanford blogger guy suck at predicting scores :-P
Oh… NOW we start running the ball… kinda.
Wtf is Lindgren thinking?
I disagree with anyone who think play-calling has been good at any time this year. It has worked at times. But it’s not been good.
Agree although if we executed more consistently the play calling might appear better.
Well… that would be true of any play-calling.
Remember, this is NCAA football. You’re not watching a team full of professionals playing against a team full of professionals… on even the worst of the professional level.
FG before the half may turn out to be more important than the 3 points. If Jordan Choukair now gets his mind straight………………….could happen.
i’ll say one thing. They don’t quit.
Problem is they don’t start, either!
Wow Pac 12 network with some quality hires…Ryan Leaf? Glad he’s recovered (wasn’t he the one addicted to pain meds), but he’s terrible, and the guy with him sounds like he’s drunk.
What’s the NCAA record for yards in a game? I think Stanford is at about 450 for the first half.
Running for 6 yards on first down sure does make everything easier…
Just got home and turned on the game. I think I’ll turn it right back off.
Sick of that stupid 76 van commercial
So much for the hope that Choukair would get his mind right.
You got Charlie Brown/Lucy’d
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=055wFyO6gag
I have an idea, instead of wasting another scholarship on an undersized, slow secondary player feel free to use that scholarship on a good place kicker. For fuck sake man.
Perhaps Choukair should have an allergy test…see if he’s allergic to goal posts or points? Maybe give him some prednisone?
You may be on to something. It’s not like he eats on the field, so the only way he could choke is from anaphylactic shock.
So what are the OC’s and DC’s excuses?
Tisebar does not appear allergic to points….
Was hoping the early fg would give him some confidence
What do you do here? Throw a TD to the TE?
Hilarious that they’re sucking that kid’s dick and going on and on about the size mismatch. He’s been on the field in every game this season and had like four receptions. The difference is that he’s playing against Oregon State’s poorly coached garbage secondary.
Minimal pass rush, so no pressure on the QB. I think it took four touchdowns before the coaches decided he might need to be double-teamed. I was thinking put our 6’5 Linebacker-McCartan on him, he looks pretty athletic. The results couldn’t be any worse than what was already happening.
These morons keep talking about Shaw wanting to get off to a fast start, changing up their routine to get them going, and they don’t simply acknowledge Stanford is playing one of the worst defenses in the country. Most teams and RBs have their “game of they season” against OSU this year.
You can bet that Shaw knows the truth, beyond that clear fact, he cannot be satisfied with the number of penalties his guys have drawn tonight.
Game went as I expected, except 7 points worse.
3 and outs on offense kills the defense.
Even on the first drive of the game?
Yup… for the whole game.
The stretch that determined the game was from 9:09 in the first quarter to 7:51 in the second.
TD, OSU-1 play, 63 yards
TD, STAN-8 plays, 75 yards
Punt, OSU-3 plays, -2 yards
TD, STAN-9 plays, 65 yards
Punt, OSU-3 plays, 4 yards
TD, STAN-1 play, 75 yards
Punt, OSU-3 plays, 7 yards
TD, STAN-4 plays, 51 yards
Offense keeps getting behind the chains on 1st down, and that effectively kills the drive. Aside from lack of rest, there’s simply not enough time to communicate all of the defensive adjustments needed to be made for the next drive. The bare minimum for every offensive possession should be to at least run 6 or 7 plays.
The defense kills the defense
Awful coaching kills the defense.
Thankfully, the soccer team got shut out 2-0 by Washington to avert the total crisis of winning the conference. Silver linings :)
OSU 2nd place or better in football the last 50 years:
1
OSU 2nd place or better in hoops the last 30 years:
1
OSU 2nd place or better in all other sports the last 1 year:
3
That game brought me back down to earth. This is going to take awhile. What I find hard to stomach is the continued poor tackling as a unit. I don’t know what you do about it except to get different players.
So…Luton, huh.
Can he play corner?
When you have Pierce and Jefferson, but they touch the ball half as many times as it’s thrown, I don’t care what QB you want to talk about.
The good news:
If we hold UW and Nikegon to <64 points and <250 yards combined, our D can say they got better this year… against a weaker schedule… with a better offense keeping them off the field for longer stretches.
The good news, continued:
We're not UConn.
Watched a bit of the cal/usc game. Cal laid down 207 offensive yards and pulled off victory. Funny seeing competent blitzes/sacks. Made me wonder if having Houston play defense would have made the team any better.
Can you imagine how good they might have been this year if we made the massive mistake of hiring Beauner?
Bottom 10 offense and defense; on the way to 10 years of recruiting doldrums?
No… how good Cal would be, not how bad we would be.
I don’t even want to imagine that one.
The true enemy of the people.

People are fucking dying, and this maroon is politicking with sheer stupidity and threatening victims.
Fuck here we go Jack is off his meds again.
Am I?
So you agree that the mismanagement of the 3% of the forest lands that California manages (as opposed to the 60% that Dumbshit manages via his administration) should result in victims being threatened by POTUS?
You go ahead and explain how my meds are off, you piece of shit.
We need to make wind illegal. That would solve the fire problem
You’re going to have to point out the part where he said anything about not funding aid for victims.
Also, last I checked your boy Barry had the reins of the USFS and BLM for 8 of the last 10 years. This kind of thing isn’t preventable but it is certainly manageable, unless there’s a certain agenda that can be reenforced by things burning out of control.
In order to do that, the subject would need to have an inkling of a whim of an idea of what the fuck he’s talking about. This one clearly does not. So his diarrhea of the fingers are open for any and all interpretations.
I accept yours as a valid interpretation of his nonsense. You probably think he’s talking about choking the forest service even more than he has by de-funding it further, instead of the billions sent in relief of the victims, as his nonsense would have everyone believe since that’s the context in which his nonsense is communicated (for lack of a better word).
Of course, your interpretation would mean that he’s talking directly about his own mismanagement. So there’s that.
What is he even talking about? Controlled burns? Usually if you propose a controlled burn the people don’t want it because, ironically, they fear it will burn their houses down.
I honestly don’t have a clue.
The Camp, Carr and Tubbs Fires are all massive and fast because of climate change. And they were exacerbated by urban sprawl.
So maybe he’s saying that people shouldn’t be developing where wildfires are inevitable, especially in an age where we know that climate change makes it that much more dangerous?
Climate change…..hehe. We will soon control the Sun, volcanoes, and sea temperatures with an App. on our I-phone. It’s coming! And you get 5% cash back for each climate event you alter.
Well then Dumbshit can blame those apps for changing sea level… or something similarly ridiculous.
And then he will make more sense than he does now.
Jack, you’re so full of shit can smell your breath here in Central Oregon.
Yep, we know a little about fires here and the President is right on task. So shut the fuck up since you’re talking out your ass…because your mouth knows better. Well, maybe not.
Please explain how he’s right?
Well… at least please source your data. A Central Oregonian walking outside and sticking a wet finger in the air is about all we have right now.
Same problem we have here…can’t clean up the forests to get rid of the stuff on the ground. I believe the FS, etc. needs to be proactive to keep the forests cleaner and jump on fires sooner.
But what do they do, wait until a fire is out of control before they mobilize. They do it year after year and in some case have starred the fire themselves.
One of the worst fires we had here was started after USFS was “slash burning” and went off and left the fires after they got going, then the wind came up… What did they say? Oops!
Ummm… okay?
I guess that means we need to not have controlled burns, but we need to “clean” the forests?
Maybe the Whiner-in-Chief should find out what branch of government the USFS is under, and he should fire him.
I think you’re putting too much thought into trying to defend the putz. This isn’t the first he’s “talked” about the issue. The man is truly stupid. But he’s also stubborn as all get out.
https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/toward-a-working-theory-of-what-the-fuck-donald-trump-i-1828206470
I think he just can’t understand why we need forests. We should just be able to mow them down and make thneeds out of them.
A thneed, of course, is a fine something all people need. They retail at about $4.
Another bad look for trump blaming federal management and then it turns pg&e, private corp, likely started the fire.
He is such a dishonest ass He knows nothing about forest or water management (he’s suggested rivers in Ca don’t need to reach the ocean: why complete that pesky hydrologic cycle)? and he’s assigning the scale and intensity of these fires to the wrong cause because he doesn’t want to acknowledge climate change for fear of upsetting his base, and because he’s anti-California. He actually gets to convince his base he’s anti-elitist! Ha! Oh, and throw those suffering under the bus and make a childish threat….
The military, of which he is commander-in-chief, will tell him climate change is real, and they have evolving strategies because of it. Super insurance companies, who insure the insurance companies who cover real estate (isn’t he a real estate magnate?) will tel him climate change is real, and its affecting their rates…but he’ll misrepresent the issue even after awful events like the deaths from these wildfires.
The whole climate change issue has become political and therefore divisive. It ranges from some people not believing in it at all to those that blame everything bad that happens on it.
Must be why the beavers lost and tree won yesterday.
Yeah I mean the bottom line is it’s getting warmer and water is rising, and humans don’t deal well with heat or water. So, to me, remove the political stuff and this is basically another form of Pascal’s Wager. If your specie does not do well in heat or water then don’t fuck around with increasing heat or water.
I get climate change and we need to change behavior, but what caused the ice age and what would prevent that from happening again in the future? It’s hard to grasp some of the things that are going to happen because our window of time is so short and it’s human nature to be self-centered..
Volcanoes are going to blow again in the NW, earthquakes are going to devastate California. The fault lines in the Midwest didn’t just disappear. I’m a fatalist to some extent, Mother Nature is going to fuck us up in the end anyway. Our arrogance may be moving it along quicker than it should, but things will happen that we can’t control. Timing is everything in life.
The climate is incredibly complex and there are a lot of things (most things imho) that cannot be controlled by humans. Like the sun and volcanic eruptions (two biggies).
Of course the climate is complex but it takes a special kind of stupid to actually believe humans aren’t major contributors to climate change.
“special kind of stupid” As I said, it has become political. Its all about taking sides and the people on the other side must be stupid.
I get all that, but my overarching thought is this is Pascal’s Wager. There is really nothing to lose by believing we contribute to the problem. People argue about jobs and economic fallout, but that’s what creative destructionism is for…either way coal/oil, etc are coming to an end over the next 20 years via that process.
I don’t think the people on the other side are stupid, but they have a vested interest in believing there’s no problem, and it’s usually some economic reason that is veiled by claims of “bad science”/”large scope”.
I stand by my comment, if you truly believe man isn’t a serious part of the problem you are stupid
For the record, I don’t believe most GOP politicians believe man isn’t a serious part of the problem, they’ve just decided to ignore what they believe and instead lie to their gullible voters.
And you are not stupid because of political division, you are stupid because you deny basic science.
And the USA is the only place that even debates this. Its not political, its science.
Oh… I see what you’re talking about. You’re stuck on the whole “truth isn’t truth, therefore, truth is opinion,” thing.
Sorry. Being ignorant or stupid is a thing. It’s not a political thing, unless you foment ignorance or stupidity for political gains.
angry is correct. There are actors who foment ignorance and stupidity for economic gain. angry is also wrong. Their science is not and never was bad. Their science is pretty much right in line with the consensus. In fact, it was more comprehensive at the time (35 years ago) than most studies, because they had the money to make such studies. It was good science. It was just buried then propagandized against. You could say that they knew how best to foment stupidity, because they knew best how real the issue was… and now is.
And now we get to deal with stupids regurgitating 35 year-old propaganda as if it means something.
I mean… if you had or have a god, why would you align with some chiseling scum who thinks coal can ever be something clean? I’ve used the term “clean dirt” quite a bit in my life. But it has meaning. Clean coal also has meaning, although, it is much different than Dumbshit thinks it is.
Please tell me you’re not referencing that pathetic “97% of scientists agree” bullshit?
97% is so 80s… if you’re talking about agreeing that climate change is happening.
If you’re talking about climate studies referencing anthropomorphic climate change, 75% agreed on that consensus (studies, not scientists)… 15 years ago. The remaining 25% were localized studies which didn’t make any mention of or have anything to do with global studies.
In other words, there were zero studies whose researchers even thought they could spin it so they could even pretend to disagree with the consensus… not that politicians and lobbyists didn’t take up that mantle.
That number (again, studies, not scientists) is now 97%. Apparently, most of those localized studies can no longer ignore the bigger picture.
So why do you do it?
Science isn’t that hard if you actually read the words and run the numbers.
Note: I’m pretty sure you were being sarcastic, but some people make that the only defense of their ignorance. And then I get to listen to them explain to me how I just don’t understand them. Holy hell, people! Get a clue.
Ummm… no.
Anthropomorphic climate change is a thing. Science says so. Some crackpots or crooks say it’s not.
That’s about it.
If anyone wants to discuss the existence of gravity and how it’s politically divisive, I’ll be here.
The climate is changing.
It has always changed.
And it always will change. It has been constantly changing for 4.5 billion years.
Let me ask you this: if all humans died today, blink of an eye, all gone. Would the climate stop changing?
Of course humans have an environmental impact on their environment. How much of one is the question, and that question has not been answered. Not even by “97% of scientists”.
Yes, it has been answered. The only people that don’t believe that answer are the fools on the right in the US. Its not even questioned anywhere else.
And yes, the climate is always changing, that a big old no shit. Denying the influence of 7 billion humans on that is the height of stupidity.
Outright denial is silly for sure. Just as silly is blaming every gust of wind or turtle fart on your neighbor’s Tahoe.
As usual, actual reality lies somewhere in the middle, between “everything’s fine, you hippies shut the fuck up!” and “OMG Al Gore told me the world is going to end because of you rednecks!”
The fact is that this country is full of gullible, over emotional pawns that love to get riled up and hate “the other side”.
Yes.
That was proven in one week in 2001.
Next question….
This sentiment was a straw man created by the same people who said Al Gore said he created the internet, another straw man. Sure, there are dummies on whatever sides you think have sides. But at least credit the origins with their dues. The same people who created, “everything’s fine, you hippies shut the fuck up!” created the Al Gore lies.
They just thought you alll were too stupid to know the difference.
Hell, Dumbshit even said this aloud during a campaign, and he still got elected. He loves the stupids.
Why do none of his adherents actually listen to what the pseudo-man says? He shits on normal people. Then he pretends to love them, sometimes saying out loud that he’s just pretending. Then he says he hates them again.
It’s just a bizzarro world right now.
Gravity, shmavity. how can there be gravity when the earth is flat? I supposed that’s why I’ve never taken a cruise. I’m afraid, the cruise ship would get to the end, and off the edge we’d go. I mean I’m not sure where we would end up….maybe China?
A simple story which doesn’t tell of anything related to greenhouse gases… but tells of how delicate the atmosphere really is.
https://globalnews.ca/news/2934513/empty-skies-after-911-set-the-stage-for-an-unlikely-climate-change-experiment/
This doesn’t explain how the Imperial Valley is becoming a desert over time… and how we’ll be living in California weather in a matter of a couple decades. All the other science climate change deniers… um… deny/ignore/have-zero-clues-about… proves that just fine.
The water wars have already begun. If you don’t already know this, you’re going to be left in the dust… quite literally.
Jack, let’s not pretend that climate change isn’t a massive money making industry, mostly for friends of politicians.
Okay?
So we’re against making money and having friends, now?
Climate change is only profitable for those who recognize it and see opportunity.
If you want to rail about sweetheart deals and subsidizing cronies (or just subsidizing potential voters), you’ll have to wait until a less egregious actor is in the WH. He adds to that tally at an accelerated pace, relative to all predecessors in the last century, minus LBJ and Harding.
A good example of seeing and acting on opportunity:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/boehners-next-chapter-former-speaker-pitches-investors-on-marijuana-industry
Oh… and those most capable of taking advantage of new tech combined with incentivized investments are those who already have the money. That’s why Big Oil benefited more than anyone.
If you want to go back to thinking there are “sides” to this issue, I’ll gladly concede the Dem leadership was just as in bed with monied energy “interests” as the whole of the GOP, just to end it.
The problem is that the invisible hand has failed. angry was right about just making the investments necessary to CYA in case there were any doubts.
But we all know that the market only cares about the short term, going for the easy here-and-now instead of investment. They would rather buy super-bunkers than spend that money setting up their companies and country for the future, negating the need for super-bunkers.
That’s how fucked up the market is right now.
Donald Trump, anti-elitist:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-QeetSMySyg/maxresdefault.jpg
Remember, it’s not about class warfare. It’s about representative democracy.
We’ve chosen to be represented by a cowardly punk, a loser in business many times over, a really rich brat who would be more rich if he did nothing but hire a broker when his father died and left him hundreds of millions of dollars (after bailing him out several times previously, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars). We’re represented by a guy who sells properties at twice their value just because some Russians with large bank accounts in Malta and Uzbekistan need some way to clean that money.
And all this was pretty well known before he even ran. But he’s immune to scandals (so many scandals) which would destroy any other politician… because he’s anti-elitist?
He doesn’t even do that well, btw. His dog whistles about globalism and elites are borne from anti-semitic and racist propaganda. This is where I think he’s just a moron. I don’t think he’s anti-semitic. But his language is, without him knowing it.
Old Bone Spur, the Coward in Chief, doesn’t like rain. It kept him from celebrating WW1.
Poor CINC.
He couldn’t get that comb over wet…he might look silly.
You can’t think that pseudo-man cares about his appearance
His lack of vanity is his one saving grace. He’s fat and ugly. He wears ill-fitting clothes. He doesn’t know how to tie a tie. He tans (why? Jersey?) with shades. He has the most obvious comb-over ever created.
It would be endearing if all his ugliness didn’t mirror his ignorance. He could be as stupid as he is and will the people to love him for himself, instead of the extreme hate and chiseling he’s responsible for.
He’s just a fucking coward who has zero clue what sacrifice means.
Nothing more.
He has never worked a day in his life.
If he ever complains about the Mueller investigation in terms of cost, think about how he has spent more of our tax dollars on only the air travel involved for his golf weekends and campaign rallies.
The most transparent administration in the history of the world, and ever, decided not to actually give any of the info the half-black’s admin gave concerning White House visits, travel, SS costs, everything, etc.
But at least they’re the most transparent admin ever, including all of history… so says Dumbshit… and so believes the stupids.
When Dumbshit complained about the half-black from Kenya playing golf, it was a bunch of rounds at Andrews or Belvoir. He never used his position (shouldn’t say never, but once or twice is close to never) to play Army Navy. And he certainly didn’t spend tens of millions of our tax dollars on only the travel involved to get to those golf courses… and then hide all the costs involved with SS protection, incidentals and greens fees… at a course he owned and, against the salaries clause in the COTUS, paid himself.
We just keep devolving

He’s more like an old man yelling at neighborhood kids to get off his lawn than a President.

At the end of year 4 he’ll get shot by gangsters while reaching for his zippo and we’ll be forced to listen to him sing. You’ve been warned

Donald Trump is to manhood what Nickelback is to Mozart.
After reading up on why he decided to dis vets, I think I’m wrong about the rain. I think it’s more likely he doesn’t like to ride in cars and be away from a bathroom for more than “too long.”
To all the above:
womp womp
That’s the sound America hears from the rest of the world on a daily basis… sometimes hourly.
Oh well. Having no moral compass means the next person can start from scratch, ignoring the whiny pissants who put Dumbshit in office and their whiny, irrational hate of America.
At least David Duke is happy. That’s good. He’s pretty much the face of Trump supporters now.
So much winning.
womp womp
At least Blount came in to show he continues to be inferior to Luton.
As usual I nailed it right on the nose. Only missed a couple of small items. These games are so easy. Its child’s play for the old coach. I can’t wait to be rained with +s from all you rookies. Thanks in advance. JB
You making a better wage in Vegas than you did as the ol’ ball coach?
They won’t take my bets. My picture, goofy glasses and all, is posted at all the sports booking sites. Just like a notorious card counter.
Da Beavs ruined a perfect football Saturday.
Bobby Petrino fired at Louisville. Let the Brohm speculation begin. Bad weekend for Purdue gets worse. Sorry Bendbeaver.
So he quit once and then gets fired the second time, right? That should have happened to Riley at OSU, but he dodged that one!
If only Bike Smiley had crashed his Schwinn with a coed onboard.
I have a friend in Fayetteville who knows all about that situation.
What actually happened, the woman that Petrino was sleeping with was engaged to Arkansas’ swimming and diving coach. The guy found out about this affair and beat the living shit out of Petrino.
The motorcycle crash story was made up to cover that incident up.
Guaranteed, 100% true.
For some reason, that sounds more plausible than Booby riding a hog.
Nice.
I heard the same story from a childhood friend who lived in Little Rock at that time.
They sure made quite the effort then to make those images of him at the time look like road rash instead of a beating.
Wasn’t he all wrapped up in weird bandages that looked like some supermarket grape-slip victim? I remember at the time looking at the bandages and thinking, “Shouldn’t he be in traction?”
He looked like he had Vaseline or some other ointment all over his face. And that neck brace. Like the kind one would wear when filing a fake workman’s comp claim.
People are expecting Louisville to hire him away after the improvement last year. Stinks but what can you do. After playing like total crap Saturday the thought is easier to swallow.
#rodentdomination. Also swept Boilers in volleyball. I thought we would get crushed, but Purdue played like they didn’t want to play in the cold and snow. He is a good coach. Perhaps the money in the B1G keeps him around.
The cold seemed like a factor and they were moving like they were in pudding. Maybe money will help with an occasional back rub from Brees.
Quizz with a 100 yard game… Receiving!
Where does he play now?
Tampa
Highlights
https://www.buccaneers.com/video/jacquizz-rodgers-bucs-vs-redskins-highlights-ryan-fitzpatrick-block
Unfortunately, he was part of a negative NFL history. First time that a team has had 500 yards of offense and only scored 3 points! Jacquizz also fumbled 18 yards forward on a play that resulted in a touchback. Not a good day for the Bucs in a 16-3 loss to the Redskins.
You might also mention that’s the first time he’s fumbled since he was five.
Since 2014 in the NFL, but we all should be familiar with his amazing ball security. Fumbled ONCE his entire college career and it was on a funky backwards pass from the QB that was not his fault.
It wasn’t even a backwards pass, which has driven me crazy since that was the only fumble credited to him in his career. Go watch a replay(if you really have nothing better to do) and you’ll see the ref got the call wrong. It was an incomplete lateral pass, which is not a fumble.
Was Jay Strickerz involved in the call?
I remember it as a backward pass. But it also should not have been a fumble charged to Quizz. He never had possession and didn’t have time to gather a bad toss before getting clobbered.
Found a clip of the fumble/pass play from the Vegas bowl. Forward to about 1:10.
It’s a crappy angle. If that pass is indeed backwards, it would have to be by a foot or so. Watching a sideline replay back in the day, it looked like Canfield was on the same line when he released the ball as where Quizz was when he attempted to catch it. But no review or whatever, so it stood as backwards.

Looks like Anderson is already out at Buffalo…replaced by Matt Barkley who gets a win against the Jets.
Anderson is our with a concussion which is why Barkley got the start.
Although Barkley might keep the job after today.
DA was out with a concussion from last week, though concussed DA is not much different than non concussed DA.
Ouch!
Cooks with an even 100 yards receiving and a 9 yard rushing TD…..
Averaging 18.5 per catch on the season….only 3 TDs so far though. Hope he gets back to the Super Bowl and beats the Chiefs(?)….

Happy Veterans Day to all the angrybeav vets. Rough year for Navy football.
Rough is an understatement.
What’s amazing is that the three FBS teams from New York are 25-5 with only quality losses.
The world is upside down.
Army, Syracuse and Buffalo with your man Leopold? Navy has been a model of consistency, I don’t know what the hell happened this year? They’ve been to a bowl game in something like 13 out of the last 14 seasons.
It’s pretty much a down year, with a lot of good to great players leaving last year. The system requires a couple tough-as-nails backs and backers with some wiggle in the hips, QB being the most important. He has a roster of two to three-hundred players. The right personnel will rise to the top soon enough.
Or, Niumatalolo is uninspired and disliking his current employment.
We’ll see next year.
UW opens as a 32 point favorite. They’ll probably cover.
A rare check on OLive, and they break down the Ducks top 10 issues:
1) The defense cannot stop the run consistently
It’s becoming more and more apparent that Oregon’s impressive start to the season against the run was all smoke and mirrors, skewed by a terrible non-conference schedule featuring the worst running offense in the country and another in the bottom 10.
The Ducks have allowed three straight teams, all of whom rely heavily on the run, to play to their strength and for those opposing running backs to have banner days.
J.J. Taylor is a fine back, but Oregon knew it had to contain him and couldn’t. Joshua Kelley is one of the few weapons UCLA has and Oregon couldn’t stop him. But those players dwarf Armand Shyne, whose career performance is more of an indictment on the Oregon front seven and defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt than it is a credit to the Utes backup.
Oregon’s front seven was supposed to be the strength of its defense. The last three weeks it’s been a liability and the challenges don’t get any easier with Arizona State’s Eno Benjamin and Oregon State’s Jermar Jefferson.
2) Offensive identity and play-calling is not the problem, talent is;

Also sounds like RB, LB, and OLine are thin due to injuries.
So, as Jack suggests, maybe come the CW we can see more Jefferson and Pierce and less throwing…be patient, keep running the ball. Would love to see these two have big games against the Ducks.
Beavs could but probably won’t implement the game plan that won the CW two years ago. Run run run. Ran for over 300 yards that day.
Owned the clock for nearly 40 min. Beavs have more speed and depth at rb thus year. They’ll need to threaten the edges to open up the middle.
The Ducks have two problems:
1. They’re the Ducks
2. See number 1
I don’t get our play calling. I guess I don’t get the conventional wisdom, if that’s the case.
The problem with making fun of Cristobal is that he’s developing a team which will compete simply because of the talent he manages to assemble. They’ll still end up missing their mark by “three or four plays” during a season, simply because they have a mediocre coach calling the shots. But if they choose to ignore his miscalls, they could catch lightning in a bottle.
I am afraid the Duck’s offense will pick apart our defense.
Most high school offenses would pick apart Oregon State’s defense.
Beav soccer has home game to start the tournament. For all of you soccer lovers!!!

It’s easy enough to write “Fuck You”, but if you really have a nanoparticle of belief in Donald Trump, then Fuck You.
Emperor Tang claiming elections are being stolen on Veterans Day is beyond rich. Captain Bone Spurs can’t walk into a WWI cemetery because it’s raining too hard. Lots of good men died crawling through the mud for us.
Well at least you read that he missed part of it. Very trumpy of you to not get the whole story before posting hearsay from cnn.
You’re correct, it IS easy to say FUCK YOU!
Yeah!
Dumbshit told all his critics to stuff it while he was laying that wreath at Arlington yesterday.
He loves the vets! You people need to… *sniffle*…you people need to just shut up… *sniffle*… about such a great man… the greatest ever… of all time… in history even… I mean the greatest this country has ever see… the greatest country ever… except for now, because we need to make it the greatest again… it’s really a third-world country, in many ways… but it’s the greatest… and you can’t say mean things about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sniffle*
Is it for the Whitey Bulger shit he pulled?
pretzel logic
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/18/opinion/robert-mueller-smearing-complicit.html
I didnt read it, somethings wrong with the page. But mueller knew some guys were set up on murder charges by bulger and the mole fbi agent on bulgers pay roll. And then continued to send letters during their parole hearings asking them not to be let out. This was a scandal many years before mueller went after trump. Which im almost positive what your nyt article is about.
The judge who wrote this…
https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/1614593/limone-v-united-states/
… is basically calling out Hannity and Limbaugh for being liars. She says she named all the names that could be named in that case. Naming those two turds and calling them out (for what they pretty much always do) is right in line with her statement of action.
I hadn’t really heard much about the case, other than it was just another smh moment about the death penalty. But you seemed to bought into the lies enough to bring it up. That was touched on by the judge as a reason to not continue being lying turds. Apparently, people think those two are credible sources and believe what they say.
Oh… and she says that if there are letters, they need to produce them. They’re the only people who would have them. The government doesn’t have any. They were never produced by the plaintiffs as evidence (of which there is plenty), and the authors of Black Mass never knew of their existence. They aren’t damning, given the circumstances of the case. But they would prove that at least Hannity and Limbaugh are telling the truth about something… anything.
They don’t even name the correct case. I wonder if they actually read the above decision. Or do you think the market is so flawed that they can profit by leading the TLDR crowd, without reading it themselves?
Nah… that can’t be true. That would mean….
But what would the federal judge who pored over every document in that case, heard and saw all the testimony, knew every in and out of it and tore the FBI an unprecedented new orifice in the end… really know about it?
Two words:
sealed
indictments
Mueller is known for “getting his man” no matter what. Comey, well…..not really sure what he is known for.
Being tall?
Comey strikes me as someone like Brent Ashcroft. And I say that knowing they’re good friends and have worked together forever. There’s just a self-righteous, soft-spoken flakiness about those two. It’s like listening to Jimmy Swaggart when either of them speak.
The problem anyone has with Mueller is that he’s a real boy scout. They don’t know how to deal with that, other than to eat shit, regurgitate it and blow it out their face-sphincters. They want real Americans investigating the vainglorious and flaccid phallus of a pseudo-man that is Dumbshit… like these guys:
https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a23081554/kenneth-starr-brett-kavanaugh-hack/
“…a real boy scout…” Does that means he likes young boys?
In your world, I have no doubt.
Come on, really? You been listening to Hannity and Lumbaugh again?
Whoops — meant as a reply to cj.
Just in from where? Right wing twitter echo chamber?
Sorry, cannot confirm.
Latest news is, “…waiting to see if he gets justice…” whatever the fuck that means.
Sorta like getting confirmation during the Kavanaugh hearings, eh?

Rick Neuheisel really needs at least 100 captive souls for open mike night.

Any chance we could flip a few of their recruits?
Might help us with an uncommitted guy like Liku, since we are in this top 2 with Colorado.
Guys like Carl Jones(ATH/DB), KJ Trujillo(DB), Tarik Lucket(WR), Cam Johnson(OL), Jaren Mangham(RB) have OSU offers, but I dont know that any have OSU as a backup plan. Maybe Carl?
Lucket will probably stay at CO because he’s a legacy guy who likes the school.
As I remember it, and my memory is not perfect. When Riley left for Nebraska, Leach grabbed a bunch of our guys.
The Pirate ran off with the booty……Arrrhhh.
Or was that Petrino at Arkansas?
Are those db’s 6’7” by any chance?
https://twitter.com/DatonaJackson
Ge would probably be the best case scenario for OSU to poach a Colorado guy prior to signing day. Like that he posted the video of OSU beating CO in his oregon state offer announcement.
Has a ton of options to big name programs, but not sure how many can offer an inmediate starting spot next year like the Beavs can. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on as we approach early signing day in December
“Offensive player of the week” or fired coaches….there’s little middle ground after playing this Beavers team….
Early signing period for all sports but football starts tomorrow.
Should see a solid class for baseball. Dont know if any are highly regarded enough to consider going pro early. Easley was a big loss last year.
Women’s will have two more 5 stars coming. Don’t think they are in the running for anyone else.
Men’s will get a true pg and another ok guard.
Hunt will develop to eventually be better than ok. He just needs to discover that he has a right hand… and tighten up his left. There’s nothing Tinks can do with his form at this point. Maybe some time in the weight room will make it more fluid.
Baseball schedule announced.
At first glance, it’s a pretty good schedule. Solid non conference opponents. SOS should be good enough to get the beavs in the tourney if they have a winning conference record.
No kidding. Aside from Portland, I don’t see any games that will bring the RPI down.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the Beavs were working to get former USC grad transfer DB Ykili Ross. Might be a name we hear more about as we get closer to the beginning of Winter term
Rueck and the WBB team have officially signed their 2 5* recruits for this class.
Seems like this should be a bigger news story than the “meh” coverage it’s been receiving.
https://twitter.com/BeaverWBB/status/1062768267524136960
If it was the quacks it would have.
WBB livestream, game to start momentarily:
https://pac-12.com/live/oregon-state-university
Per Rueck pregame, the two LOI’s came during shoot around this am. “Both amazing players and amazing people; their families did a great job researching where they’d fit in.”
I tuned into the Pac12 network webcast of the mid-day WBB game today. It’s some type of kids day at Gill for elementary kids. They’re panning across the crowd to get the kid’s reactions when they show up on tv and there’s pop music playing in the stadium…”Since you’ve been gone” (not sure who sings it)
Anyway, Jon Warren is on the mic, and must not realize the mic is live throughout the entire broadcast, and I can hear him belt out some of the lyrics to “since you’ve been gone…”
Pretty funny. I’m surprised how frequently the broadcasters don’t realize their mics are live and they just start talking about off topic stuff to whoever they’re sitting with. Pretty loose operation.
Tune in now if you want to see the WBB team play a non-con game for free.
https://pac-12.com/live/oregon-state-university
Don’t expect to see a good test for OSU today.
After 1 it’s Arkansas Pine Bluff 4, Oregon State 26.
I don’t think APB scored after about the 1st minute or 2 of the game.
39-6 Beavs with about 6 minutes to go before half-time.
Lots of steals and then the Beavs are off to the races. I’d say smothering defense and ball movement have been the story of the game for the Beavs. Still missing several point blank shots at the rim would be my main criticism.
How about those easy buckets off the inbounds play? Not likely in PAC12 play.
Really hard to get a good gauge for this team based on the competition level. Good energy all around and better/bigger athletes than APB. Entertaining team to watch though. Wish we could see Aquino out there
48-10 at the half. this will be my final update
Any word on Aquino?
Nope
She’s suiting up and running through pregame warmups. Seems unlikely she would do so if she had injury issues. Speculation of course, but I’m wondering if she doesn’t have an eligibility issue so Rueck doesn’t want to play her until it’s resolved. It does seem odd the team has declined any comment on details.
I do remember a story from back around the time the Beavs were first linked with her name. Saw some fans from another school bitching their school missing out on her because of eligibility issues. Something about her moving to the US after playing a brief professional stint in South America or something, and them being surprised OSU was able to successfully recruit her. I’ll have to dig around to see if I can find it again, because my memory is pretty spotty on this.
Here’s the story. My memory was a little off. There’s a lot to digest here, but essentially it boiled down to the details behind how she was brought to the states from Paraguay, and I think people were concerned she could be found ineligible due to the “impermissible” benefits she may have received (housing, food….basic essentials) when she first moved over to the US.
If the NCAA is still poking around to understand those details, it could maybe explain why OSU would be cautious to let her play just yet. Sortof like how Oregon avoided any penalties for Lache Seastrunk, because they never actually played the guy.
Hopefully this isn’t it, but if it is, who knows how long it could take the NCAA to clear her to play.
If I remember correctly, the comments section of this article had some interesting information as well. I don’t have time to read into it now though.

yes, she is medical redshirt for the season. I know exactly what the issue is but was politely asked not to share. We will not see her this season unfortunately. It has nothing to do with eligibility, academics or otherwise. It’s medical and precautionary and that’s all I can share. It’s too bad because with her, we’d have a big that can actually be a threat inside and out.
see below ad I posted a response….
Ron Callan is calling the game, Jon Warren is on his way to the islands to cover MBB.
Agree, the frequency of unknown “live mic” comments is surprising. Happens with baseball as well.
I really wanted it to be Warren who was singing the pop tunes, but realized i had the wrong guy shortly after i wrote that
One tipoff: Warren usually spends lots of time explaining how difficult it is to coordinate all the electronics involved in a broadcast, that and remembering his HS basketball days. LOL
Oh, and Callan actually is a singer; did the German Natl Anthem with Marie’s dad last year and was part of a choir in college.
Maybe no one has told them? Or they just only really care about the radio broadcast. I found it interesting when I listened.
Best open mic fun was during a baseball game where the student camera operators were heard.
BTW attendance today over 8800
FINAL: 89-33
Some familiar areas of concern: 18 TO’s, Grymek=hands of stone and doesn’t seem to be pushing up court the way Gulich did, hopefully improves.
Wow, Thropay with 8 steals……most for an individual since 2012 according to Callen.
The Polish Sausage, AKA the Big Kielbasa.
It’s an encouraging sign that Rueck pulled this recruiting class from the middle of the country. He’s brought the program to the brink of perennial national power and players all over the country are noticing. Unthinkable during the Wagner days.
The rumor in the Twin Cities is that da Beavs are still in the running for the top player in the 2020 class, PG Paige Buekers. Other schools are ND, U Conn, and Minnesota. She plays at the HS just down the street from my office.
If you could, would you put on your Minny gear and a Geno Auriemma mask, then go find her and yell at her in an Irish brogue?
OT, but so funny worth sharing:

You could substitute Dominionist Gospel and Hillary Clinton if you’re a “there are sides” kind of person. It’s not quite as disturbing as the Proesperity Gospel, but it’s equally blasphemous. You’d have to be familiar with Doug Coe and the National Prayer Breakfast and that whole association. They’re playing a longer game. It’s why I just shake my head whenever a Dem starts to ridicule the End Times Gospel. That’s just low hanging fruit, and it’s a distraction.

But if you’ve ever had to deal with an elder who just seems to have lost their intelligence, savvy and fiscal discipline, there is a barrage of predatory requests for tithing in the name of everything that’s supposed to be good… or at least paid for in full by our government. Disabled vets? Why aren’t we giving them a Cadillac ride for what they’ve sacrificed, unless what we say and do regarding how we value them are in direct conflict?
Here’s an article some might find interesting, about a football player’s efforts to cope with depression and the pressure of playing DI football. A UW recruit who ended up transferring to PSU for a less stressful environment:

Recently somebody (Jack?) pointed out that Ohio State appeared to be wearing OSU Beaver uniforms. Look at Syracuse with their OSU traffic cone look:
https://www.si.com/college-football
^^^^^^^New nick-name for the defense….traffic cone????
Whoever came up with “the turnstile defense” really hit the nail on the head.
The return of the flailbacker. Who thought we could be so lucky?
“Turnstile tackle” was me after viewing one game finally. Couldn’t believe it: extend arm, let ball carrier through!
It’s usually the people who try to avoid running into traffic cones, not the traffic cones avoiding running into people
LOL….but the defense is soooo slow, practically not moving….
https://express.google.com/u/0/product/1086920824574406907_13043014158191191743_6382239?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=tu_cu&utm_content=eid-lsjeuxoeqt>im=CPrs_cDA1uP1dhClq6LD9J6dhogBGPD5zwciA1VTRCigm9jfBTCfxYUD&utm_campaign=6382239&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_7bZirzX3gIVQxx9Ch3yhQh2EAQYAiABEgLecvD_BwE
It’s not that they’re slow or fast. It’s that half the team is early, the other half is late, and they’re all going in the wrong direction.
The traffic cones guide the ball carrier through the turnstiles?
T’was me that pointed out the repulsive “uniforms” being spotered by tOSU.
uniformly ugly?
Eggers summarizes OSU’s historic defensive season as follows:
“The Beavers yield an average of 45.1 points and 542.8 yards per game. The former is on pace to set a school single-season record, higher than the current mark of 42.5 points per game given up by the 1981 OSU team. That group, in coach Joe Avezzano’s second season, went 1-10 and featured losses to Stanford (63-9), Washington (56-17) and Southern Cal (56-22).
The total defense stat is almost certainly on pace for a school record — the modern game produces more offense than ever before.
Among the 129 FBS teams this season, Oregon State ranks last in opponents’ third-down conversion percentage (.504), 128th in scoring defense and total defense, 124th in opponents’ first downs per game (25.8), tied for 124th in passes intercepted (three), 125th in rushing defense per game (271.5) and tied for 123rd in sacks (10) and turnovers gained (eight). That’s unprecedented across-the-board ineptitude. ”
https://pamplinmedia.com/pt/12-sports/411834-311530-kerry-says-beavers-face-uphill-battle-with-huskies
Record setting ineptitude on defense and still more wins than last year with only one more win needed to tie bikey’s 2011 season.
Last year: Terrible offense, bad defense
This year: Bad offense, terrible defense
So next year we improve to uniformly bad?
Hopefully next year we improve to Bad offense and Bad defense and scrap up another win?
Iowa>dicks
Guess money can’t buy you happiness, sorry Phillip
Haha. Quacks lose to Iowa. Prolly a mistake to wear Iowa’s school colors.
Iowa was picked to finish 10th out of 14 by the coaches.
And bol bol does not look like a lottery pick. Sometime will take a flyer on him but he will get hurt constantly for how frail he is. Outside shooing for them is weak. Might change when king comes back but he won’t be fully healthy until probably January with torn meniscus. Go Hawkeyes!!!!
Bol has good size(height) and moves well for a guy that tall. Blocks shots decently. But to say he’s in the conversation for top 2018 recruit, with guys like Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and RJ Barret, is absolutely false. ESPN had them all graded out the same last year. Zion and Barrett have been in a different orbit this year.
I know it’s annoying to see the Williamson hype train at ESPN this year, but the guy is putting up some crazy numbers so far. Averaging over 25 ppg on 82% FG %??? And it’s not all dunks. With 10+ rebounds and a few assists sprinkled in.

St Louis looks good. Charlie Brown is a baller.
As a kid, one of my favorite peanuts cartoons was You’re a Baller Charlie Brown
Was that the one Angry likes to reference where Lucy pulls the ball away at the last second? ;^)
If we beat them away next month, we’re easily a tourney team.
They look sharp.
Sorry… he plays at St Joe’s.
They look sharp.
As soon as I praise them, they fall flat against UCF.
I will post this again in the event you are not aware of the situation with Acquino. She is out for the season with an undisclosed medical issue. She will red shirt this year. I was politely asked not to share the medical condition for the sake of her privacy and so I’m honoring that agreement I made with the person that told me. Her absence from playing has absolutely nothing to do with eligibility, academics or anything associated with those to things. Hopefully, she will play next season. I’m not quite sure why they have not disclosed the fact she will redshirt and find that somewhat interesting but there you have it.
Is our football team the worst performing athletic program out of all programs at Oregon State? I don’t follow every sport, it’s safe to say Baseball, WBB, Men’s Soccer, Gymnastics, Women’s Golf, Softball, Volleyball, Wrestling all hold their own in league. Do we have any other consistently terrible programs with respect to league competition, like our football team?
Why is it every other athletic program at our school can field a competitive team?
Is it the absence of moral killing body-bag road games to start the season…? With the exception being Louisiana State. Beavs have had their asses handed to them by the likes of Louisville, Cincinnati, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State….any others? Cincinnati and Louisville are garbage now….Luck O da football beavs?
Cincy is #24.
The Cincinnati bearcats are 7-9 in bowl games, getting stomped in their last three+ bowls (Belk, Military, and Hawaii) by a combined score of 114-41 — last bowl in 2015. They beat OSU in 2009 on their way to the Sugar bowl after being in the Orange bowl the year before.
Having them ranked #24 is laughable — good luck to them though, they will probably go win the title now that I’ve lambasted them.
Kelly was their coach when they last beat the beavs, obviously there was a huge coaching advantage.
The coach is the former DC and interim HC at Ohio State, while waiting on Urban, Luke Fickell.
He is building a sustainable program based on defense. His connections after playing and coaching at tOSU get him into a lot of living rooms in Ohio. There are a ton of good players in that state and with Urban going national with recruiting, more for the regional teams to grab on to. I suspect a few years of success will get him a gig in the B1G.
In fairness OSU did beat Wisky a few years ago at home, although that was more of an anomaly.
I seem to remember Barnes laying out his vision for scheduling, pretty much staying out of those early season wipeouts.
Something like mid-tier P5, upper tier FBS (non-P5), and a FCS type school. That seems like a better formula that the BDC approach and better than the quacks 3 FCS games, AT HOME no less.
Riley cast a pall over VFC. “You can’t recruit to Corvallis.” The ridiculous narrative Bikey created to cover his ass, and parroted by fools like Hearsay Lindsay, is bunk. Success in other programs at the school prove that. Can “the return” of another OSU favored son finally get things on track?
anybody have a link for the 10AM MBB game vs Old Dominion? (game 1 of the Paradise Jam for OSU)
Looks like the official stream is on some site called Flohoops.com, but you have to subscribe at $30 per month in order to get the game. F…..THAT……
Found the reddit thread for the game, but so far no links have been added.
Maybe closer to game time?

Beavs on the short end of 24-22 at half time
6-11 on free throws in the first half. Gotta convert better than 50 percent from the line.
24-26 at the half. We continue to shoot poorly in the first half, including at the line. But at least we’re getting to the line. Second half adjustments have been good this year. So we’ll see how it plays out.
sounds like the Beavs still have a ways to go…
It looks like we’re back to running the game through my three sons.
We can play five on five ball. It is allowed.
Where’s Uncle Charlie when you need him?
My three sons: 11-34 from the field
The rest of the team: 6-7 from the field
And only two of the latter group were shots run through the O.
When I typed this, the two plays (which I may have overstated… I think it’s three) were recent with Reichle getting involved. After I typed it, they started dumping the ball to G. And with Reichle and G involved, we came back from a 53-44 deficit and won 61-56.
It’s amazing how your team gets better when two of the five aren’t just pick-machines.
I should’ve credited Kelley with being a part of the comeback. But the O wasn’t running through him. He was just taking what he could get from the others missing shots. Still, gotta applaud the workers.
Nice come back win.
Sometimes you just have to look at the numbers as a coach. When you think you’re not making any shots, look at who’s taking all the shots. If the people who aren’t taking shots aren’t getting assists, that means only the people taking the shots are touching the ball.
No coach can win with that kind of system.
audio feed sucks
I haven’t had a chance to watch any of the games yet. How does Kylor Kelly look? His stats seem to be pretty good.
Also I still don’t get how they didn’t address the obvious need at PG… that will be a major problem against better teams.
17-3 run to end the game. Big g with some huge plays. Impressive final 8 or so minutes
Next game Sunday @ 2:00. Don’t know opponent yet.
Sunday @ 2:30 vs Missouri. They held off Kennesaw St 55-52
https://twitter.com/BeaverMBB/status/1063554113059856384
Small win but a good win. That’s a game they lose last year.
Big boost to the rpi if they can face Mizzou and kstate in the next two games.
RPI is no longer being used……..
https://herosports.com/college-basketball/bracketology-ncaa-tournament-team-sheets-different-ahah
That said, Missouri is average at best. Picked to finish anywhere from 9th -11th in the SEC. As i write this they are struggling with Kennesaw State. Leading by one with three minutes left.

Not really.
But it does pay to be in certain professions, regardless of skill. The being nice part is just a neat deal.
Just caught the tail end of of ‘10 loss at Washington. Riley mouth breathing as we lose in double OT.
Ranked at 24. Dropped the 2 point try to win.

I thought the numbers for Big G — 15 points, 9 boards — were really encouraging. Between he and Kelly we might have a reasonable post presence this year.
