If angry recovers from jet lag he can supersede this one.
Farthest thing from our minds is a jinx thread, so no specific game emphasis here.
News on FB practice has been sparse, only one more session before a two week break. Post anything you’ve come across, still waiting for Eggers and, hopefully, a Lundeberg podcast.
Busy time of year for MBB/WBB/Baseball, should be plenty on which y’all will have valuable input. And there is that meeting between Limo Larry and the Presidents which, for once, includes the AD’s.
Go Beavs!
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrsssssstttttt!
Bitches
Arizona flames out at the Pac-12 tournament and their season is over (unless they decide the Craig Robinson Invitational isn’t beneath them). I imagine Sean Miller will be run out of Tucson before the weekend.
He gets to stay with the recruits he has coming in.
A note on FB from an piece on the D from the GT:
Oklahoma transfer Addison Gumbs will join the mix when he is healthy.
Not in that article, but somewhere it was reported that David Morris was still not 100%, that’s an awful long re-hab if true.
https://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/football/osu-football-beavers-building-depth-at-linebacker-other-positions/article_875df6a9-3fb1-56cf-9212-cbdd55d1f674.html
Didn’t read the article yet, but wanted to mention Togiai is also currently injured, again. Guy can’t catch a break.
With Morris, I’m reminded of how long it took for Isaac Seumalo to come back from a foot injury too. Maybe a similar situation? Anybody remember how long Isaac was out?
Togiai caches every break. Literally. Perhaps he should have stuck with basketball.
I’m partial to Smalls, anyway. He doesn’t drop the ball, and he always seems to have open field when he catches it.
Damn Nike shoes!
I thought I read a note somewhere that Morris tweaked a hamstring.
Let’s go cal
Steven Nelson to the Steelers for 25 mil over 3 years. Not a bad deal for the Steelers. Another Beaver making decent money, hopefully that helps sell the program. Starting to get a pretty solid collection of alumni.
Wow. Quite the haul, how much guaranteed?
I think just 7.5 mil but this is saying the way it is structured they would be dumb to cut him after 1 year. The way NFL contracts work is kind of confusing.
https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2019/3/14/18264275/contract-numbers-for-steven-nelson-indicate-he-will-cost-steelers-just-4m-against-cap-in-2019-nfl
You just schedule salary payments during the near-future calendar years, and add up the totals under every year to meet the cap.
Buffs hold off Cal 56-51. Beavs will play them tomorrow at 2:30
Beau Philip’s stock is rising. This service ranks him #55 of all draft eligible college players. Unfortunately he’ll probably only be in Corvallis this one season.
http://baseball-farm.com/index.php/2019/03/13/2019-mlb-draft-top-100-college-player-rankings-and-positional-breakdowns/
I thought you had to play 3 years if you went to college? How is he able to be eligible?
he’s played a year or two at the CC level I think
thanks for the info, makes sense.
Just got around to reading about the admissions scam – apparently, an admissions person at one of the universities noticed discrepancies on an application. It occurs to me admissions offices should have caught most of the lies or I guess I don’t understand what they do.
I don’t know that they can judge how good a student is at some of these minor sports, right?
Tennis would be simple. USTA lists club players – if you joined a tennis club, played one match and lost, I think you are in there. Do athletic departments have their own admissions people? Latest: Oliviajade was on USC official’s yacht during spring break.
Mr Burns was involved in something similar to this on behalf of his son Larry
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IbNdcdO3_Go
Haha.
Rodney Dangerfield is Mr Burn’s son. Who knew?
How little do you have to think of your children in order to commit fraud for them… unless it was the kids’ ideas… then how little do you have to think of yourself and your parenting skills?
And with the numbers being thrown around, how much are the rich “gifting” to get their stupid and/or lazy prodigies into these schools? How much is enough so that you don’t have to also commit fraud?
My god WSU is terrible. Have score 3 points 7 minutes into the game.
Between them and Bill Walton, this is pretty unwatchable.
I know, but I’m concerned about that slimy bastard Altman and the Ducks, they have been playing lock down defense for the past three weeks. They could win this tournament.
For angry. MLB is testing robo umps, among other rule changes, in the Atlantic league this year
https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-will-use-independent-atlantic-league-as-testing-ground-for-robot-umpires-other-aggressive-rule-changes/
The biggest tech challenge was programming the robo ump to adjust it’s virtual balls between pitches.
It is amazing to me how much the SEC’s SOS gets overlooked by the polls. Florida having the highest at #42. I would have thought coaches poll especially would be aware, but here we go again, going into conference play with 10+ SEC teams in the top 25 — meaning they should all be locked in since they won’t move much given their “beat-up on each other” schedule.
UO with the 2nd hardest schedule. BEAVs with the 15th. Per couple years ago, the PAC cannot have a Utah crash the party and win the conference, could reduce bids to the under 5 mark.
http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2019/sos
The committee doesn’t use polls to decide who gets in. Rpi already shows pac 12 as the dominant conference. Shouldn’t change much through the year. Pac12 should get min 5 bids as long as they keep winning the non conference series left on the schedule.
Understood, but RPI is heavily based off of SOS. I would think coaches would glance at the RPI and vote accordingly knocking down the SEC a lot more. Really hoping for 6 maybe 7 bids.
Coaches aren’t voting. Their sid is the likely one who’s voting.
Once the SEC starts playing each other they will all go up despite the losses. Just like in football.
it was really messed up to have LSU #1 in the preseason poll and now it has thrown off the whole top 25. They have to really dance to keep LSU in the poll at all after they lost 3 times to Texas and then Texas turns right around and loses 3 times to Stanford. Aaron Fitt calls it “poll dynamics”
Add Jaydon Grant to the spring camp injured list.
https://twitter.com/The_Real_Bob/status/1106266356461166592?s=19
Serious injury, Bob says he was down over 30 minutes.
Bob also tweets this re BASEBALL:
Saw the Beavs Baseball at PDX this morning flying to LAX on an Alaskan Boeing 737. Don’t worry, wasn’t a max. And they made it there safely.
Hope I’m wrong but I don’t see the Beavs winning today. I’ll go with the team that’s won 9 of 11 and not the team that’s lost 5 of their last 7.
Abel was diagnosed with a Samsonite injury. Quite rare and treatment consists of having a freshman carry your luggage.
Luck O da Beavs or what?
Does Zach Reichle have a picture of Tinkle giving a BJ to a farm animal? This guy should never see the floor during a D1 basketball game. He cant make a shot, he cant get to the bucket, and he plays zero D but yet he starts. WTF???
Way to come out prepared…..
Wow, 6 min in and it’s a blow out and I’m walking away to never look back! This team is NEVER ready at the outset of a game, and it’s already over!
I’m officially done with this coaching staff.
WTF happened? Wait, Tinkle is coaching. A veteran team laying a steaming pile of shit in Vegas.
He has failed. See ya Wayne.
The problem with falling behind by more than 20 points is that when you have a 10-0 run you still trail by double digits. In basketball, it is good to try and avoid falling so far behind so that this does not happen.
Jon Warren could not have said it better.
All of the team’s best players are upperclassmen (except Ethan) and you still can’t have them come out strong to start a game?
Tinkle ought to be fired for this, but he won’t be. Because here at OSU, Scott Barnes and the rest of the leadership celebrate mediocrity.
Can we get Nebby to poach Tinkle?
Nice to see the level of consistency from the MBB! Coaching staff is incredibly consistent with game prep, and getting the guys to respond with the exact same level of intensity for every big game opportunity. It is quite uncanny how they have been flat for every game that seemed to have something on the line throughout the year.
Tinkle already made the excuse pre-game to Mike Parker by saying that Colorado had the advantage because they had already played a tourney game. If that were the case, then why not lose against WSU and avoid the by? I think Tinkle exudes a cup half empty negativity, in addition to nepotistic favoritism. The 3 sons were a combined 15-43 from the field.
Will Antoine Vernon transfer at the quarter break?
What the fuck was that?
Wow we wait all fucking year for “next year”, have a veteran team, have the best season we’ve had in 30 years, finally get a bye in the tournament, aaaaand we get fucking blasted immediately and end up 18-13 which is horrible!!!! Fuck this entire athletic department!!!
We will never be relevant with recruits with shit like this… “Hey, this one time in the past 30 years we were the 4 seed in our conference tournament”
We are going to continue to get shit players and play shit basketball forever. Same with football. We fucking suck in perpetuity.
What a pathetic effort, yet somehow I knew this was going to happen. If they don’t get a NIT bid, I think it’s time for WT to go. Who cares what Tres and Ethan will do if the daddies are not the coaches, it’s not like this is a tourney team next year with this staff in place anyway.
Good point.
Ethan transfers to Nevada is on the clock now. Once coaches are gone.
Eric Musselman is going back to the ELite 8 with a very sound Nevada team, and all we get is another wasted opportunity.
E Muss>W Tinkle
Thanks BDC, another whiff
Assuming no NIT bid you have to fire Tinkle…if you don’t you have zero credibility as a program…such a joke
So we take the $6.3 million hit to do so? How much can we pay the new coach?
I’m not saying Tinkle will be fired but any program that keeps a failure because of the money has already lost its credibility…
It sucks that OSU is in that position but Tinkle has proven he isn’t the guy.
Yup. He’s had 5 years. One tourney berth on the coat tails of GP2.
If this is the best he can do in a shit league he’s not the guy for the job. He’s ran off every PG he’s recruited not named Vernon (and it remains to be seen if Vernon will stay).
Remember when Tres, ST jr and Eubanks all signed? How’d that turn out??? Tres may very well leave having never played in an ncaa tournament game.
That Stanford blowout loss still sticks in my craw.
When your team consistently comes out flat and unprepared, that’s a coaching problem.
Tinkle is 35-55 in 5 years in PAC-12 games.
This season could’ve been so much more. The highlight to me was the unexpected road sweep of the mountain schools.
Too many head scratching losses though
Coat tails of gp2?
how many years are left on Wayne’s contract? OSU can’t afford a buyout if it’s 6.3 million. Can someone do a total career at OSU W/L comparison between Robinson and Tinkle? I’m guessing the data will show a Rileyesque uptick of performance for Tinkle compared to his immediate few predecessors.
Tinkle – .475
Robinson – .472
Nice! .3% uptick! That’s what I call improvement.
Breaking news……
Ernie Kent out at Wazzu. At least their AD has the balls to pull the trigger based on lack of results.
https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/wsu-cougar-basketball/washington-state-parts-ways-with-head-basketball-coach-ernie-kent/
Wonder if Barnes at least has the balls to approach Tinkle about a buyout.
Wonder if Barnes will dig up money from that swim team budget to pay for CBI?
Please NO!………….but it’s Barnes.
Oregon announces a contract extension for Dana Altman that runs through 2025-26.
Eggers weighs in: Pretty much a lifetime contract for Dana, who will be 67 by the end of the deal.
I hope Dana doesn’t read Eggers tweet. Would hate to know the year I’m going to die
Does Gary Payton have another kid?
Does GP2 have a kid?
I could even go with a Scott Haskins Jr…
The long awaited Lundeberg podcast, all 60 minutes, is up, in a word…..disappointing. Very little news here, a discussion with Brenden Slaughter touching on way too early game by game guesses. Slaughter has 6 wins, Bob calls for 4.
As for observations on Spring practice: they both seem to think Luton is the #1. More good talk about energy and attitude, mentioned as not practicing: Reichner and Gumbs.
Hard to decipher anything from their comments on Elu…….”beefed up”, “probably lighter that the listed 385lbs”.
Did I miss anything? Here’s the link:
https://share.transistor.fm/s/9611be3a
Luton is #1 until he gets in a game. IMHO he’s had one good showing in his career at OSU.
BTW, have decided to no longer support “Tinkle’s Folly” by purchasing season tickets. After the latest shitshow I figure 5 years is enough.
Barnes need to back up the armored car and offer Tinkle what ever he wants to stay in Corvallis. I am sure WSU will try and poach him and his son as a grad transfer next year. Wouldn’t you all hate to see WT on the opposing bench?
no
Not with a bang but a wimper
Not with a splash, but a tinkle
BASEBALL at 6pm today vs Bruins, no TV. You can listen to Jon Warren on 1240 KEJO or try this link for the Bruin broadcaster:
https://ucla.leanplayer.com/
Kendall Rogers must be in touch with Bob Lundeberg, tweets:
Luke update….from last week. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lmtonline.com/sports/amp/Tecolotes-return-to-Uni-Trade-as-spring-training-13672703.php
The Luke story just continues to frustrate me. Media takes the justice system and makes it the “Just Us” system by setting forth only the information they want until they get “just” what they want. In this case they decided they wanted to mess up Luke’s life/future even though there is plenty to say he is innocent or at the very least has paid the price and been deemed non-threatening by the courts. No integrity within media for years now.
¡Por fin!
“That’s not my concern. He needs to prepare for the season,” said Fermin of bringing on Heimlich despite his past conviction. “What happened with Luke has nothing to do with us. The guy has showed up for spring training, and we’ll see what he can do. I don’t even know what happened with him. That’s the truth.”
the way I read that story, it looks as if Heimlich is under contract and is reporting. That’s a long overdue break through. Funny thing: the owner of that team understands what Martin Meyer has been reporting on this site for two years, but the media refuses to change its narrative. There’s a great book to be written about this saga.
Adjudication of a minor is still beyond the understanding of sports journalists. I guess it’s easier to keep writing “plead guilty”. I’m pleased to see him getting some chance, although I doubt he will ever step on a MLB field unfortunately.
great move putting Greg Fuchs and George Mendazona in the starting lineup.
Jon Warren is reporting via a couple of soup cans and a taut string.
UCLA broadcaster’s audio not much better. So far, he isn’t a whole lot better than Jon. Long way to go.
Top of 2nd
Malone grounds out
Fuchs walks
Taylor backwards K – now hitting .108
Mendazona single to right – Fuchs goes to 3rd
come on Andy
Armstrong strikes out and the Beavs get 0 runs after 1 walk and 1 hit in the 2nd
Beavs fall behind 1-0 after Gambrell gives up singles to the #6 and #8 hitters
Taylor makes an unassisted DP to end the inning.
McGarry and Jones go down quickly in the 3rd – 2 down
Adley with an 8 pitch walk
Philip grounds out
Pitcher threw 7 pitches total to McGarry, Jones, and Philip
bottom of 3rd
Gambrell gives up a leadoff double after falling behind 3-0
sac bunt moves the guy to 3rd – 1 out
Gambrell gets a 3-2 swinging K for the 2nd out
2 run homer and Beavs are down 3 to Zip
UCLA has good pitching, but Beavs making them look a lot better with impatience at the plate. Hope this isn’t a harbinger for the rest of the season. They’ll be lucky to get one win at this rate.
OTOH: Total pitches through 4 full, Gambrell 58, Pettway 71.
So not every Beav has been impatient at the plate
Mendazona seems to be the only one getting good rips.
True
Top 4th
flyout, strikeout, strikeout
Zak Taylor struck out on 3 pitches without swinging at any of them, now batting .105
Beavs hitting 1 for 14 in the game so far
Zak Taylor to the Bench
Gambrell leaves after 103 pitches, sounds as if he is responsible for two of the stolen bases for the Bruins, oh, and 4 unanswered runs (so far). Walling on to pitch to the hottest UCLA hitter. b7
A little late Nate?
Down 8-0? WTF happened? Watching basketball.
We cannot hit
^^^This, and Gambrell not sharp enough to offset an aggressive game plan by UCLA, both at bat and on the basepaths.
Luke pitched, gave up a triple….https://tecolotes2laredos.com/tecolotes-empata-en-su-primer-compromiso-de-pretemporada/
Fuck off dick face
Thanks for the kind words
The ducks keep on winning. Watch them win the PAC-12 tournament! Remember when OSU was winning games and they were losing games? Seems like an eternity.
Great coaches seem to figure things out and improve. Poor coaches make excuses and accept crappy effort over and over. Duck/Huskie championship game…..Beaver fan nightmare.
Dude is slimy, but he can coach.
Yup, the irony is Altman probably shouldn’t be coaching, but he became adept at the plausible denial and has survived because he wins.
Taylor and Armstrong combined over the last 6 games are 1 for 26 with 13 strikeouts and only 2 walks. Their averages are so far down that they’ll have trouble getting back to .200 even if they got hot.
I’d like to see McMahan and Ober in the lineup to replace them, and keep Mendazona at 3rd and Fuchs at DH.
Surprised it took so long to get Mendazona some ABs, he batted .624 as high school soph and .570 as a jr
^^^^^^^Yup. Looking for a couple of these guys to step-up to the Kwan. Go from batting 250 to 350 from prior season — to bad Armstrong/Taylor are not the guys. Armstrong seemed like he was getting close to breaking out and had glimpses of good/greatness last year.
I thought Armstrong would be a stud this year. More like a dud. If PC was coaching, I would have confidence they would get it figured out, but this is a whole new game with PB. According to some of the parents I spoke to in AZ he is much more “approachable” to the players. Hard to argue with the old school hard ass approach of Casey. Only OSU could have a suitcase F up the baseball season.
Say what you will but Altman is coaching his ass off. It’s a sad comparison to the boring/predictable WT show. Plus its great to see that whiny little bitch Hurley get beat.
Agree on Hurley.
One glimmer of hope. The rumor around the B1G is that Nebraska is going to back up the truck and offer Altman everything short of a horse head in his bed to take the Neb. job. I know he just signed an extension. Home state and coached at Creighton. Neb has a brand new area that they pack with fans and the payout from the B1G Network is around 40 million this year, not the $50 Amazon gift card Larry Scott has provided the PAC schools.
i realize it is a 99% chance it won’t happen, but hey, we pried GA away from Wisc. and that worked out great.
As a Husker fan, I don’t want them to sign Altman just yet. Miles is a good coach, and they stumbled down the stretch because they lost Copeland midway through the season. Save the money and give him another year.
OSU is a baseball and women’s basketball school. Are we kidding ourselves thinking OSU will be more competitive than breaking .500 in football and basketball on a regular basis? Is it worth investing more time than cheering from a distance? (reading the box score rather than wasting time watching the full game) I want being a Beaver fan to be fun, enjoyable experience. I want to watch OSU teams be gritty, competitive and play their asses off. Is this too much to ask for? Being in a constant state of hopeless denial is exhausting. At what point does a Beaver fan accept the fact that we will (more often than not) be the doormat of not only the Pac-12, but the doormat of the Power 5 conferences as well? If you disagree, tell me how it will change and what it will take? The gap between OSU and that team down south might be too wide to overcome, and mostly due to financial backing. But, they also show a commitment to winning. I really don’t think Ed Ray truly cares, he talks big though.
You brought your A game to that post.
I’m about to have my butt handed to me also! LOL I forgot my big boy pants though.
Hey — that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. Some may disagree, but you probably won’t need your big boy pants.
1. I like Jonathan Smith’s nerdiness .not sure if that translates into a better record than Riley – too passive and resistant to change, and Anderson – not sure what that was all about – except 3 wasted years and running off of Markus McMaryion (good for Markus). 2.I was in Corvallis for some baseball games when Tinkle was hired – I may have posted something saying I wasn’t certain that was good choice. I had watched a couple of Montana games – all that yelling – sortof like Mark Banker with sweaty armpits.
Mid-range results, no major blowouts,NIT in mbb would be quite satisfactory – just not the bottom feeder syndrome and, of course, CWS championship.
Sounds like you’ve given up. See ya!
I’m not saying don’t go to games or support OSU athletics. My point is it worth investing more time than being a casual fan? Hoping the best, but expecting the usual. Comparing apples to apples, oranges to oranges and well…. Beavers to beavers. OSU isn’t “clutch” in sports other than baseball and women’s basketball. The little engine that could, but is running out of financial steam. The whole PAC-12 Network benefits the schools with the most resources, while leaving OSU & WSU behind playing catch-up. I’m not sure what the single answer is? But accepting who OSU is? A mediocre athletic program which does more with less, and on rare occasions shocks the college athletic world and has a great team here and there. My expectations were, after the 2000 fiesta bowl year OSU would finally turn the corner into a perennial winning football program. After the GPII Basketball season OSU would consistently win 20 games per year and making the NIT tournament would be considered a let down, because OSU would make the NCAA tournament regularly? Obviously my expectations are way too high. That is all.
Guess what. Being that most college sports are not meant to make money, not everyone can win all the time — someone’s got to be the loveable loser. But it’s not about the money, or is it? Why do the Browns suck year after year? The recipe for good programs falls mostly on talent and coaching — sometimes that takes money, look at Eugene. However, the Ducks are still not successful, or should I say just as successful as the Beavers. They’ve got track/field, but it infused with millions of dollars over decades to get where they are. I tend to like the organic growth of Beaver sports….what is your definition of success? Football wins a championship? All programs have a winning record year in and year out? UO is the EPITOME OF WHATS WRONG WITH COLLEGE SPORTS! Too much money has penetrated the games, and that is sad — like proliferation of nuclear arms — THERE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH MONEY! OSU doesn’t need a billionaire to fund them, but UO does….my expectations are just as high for OSU sports as they ever were. OSU certainly doesn’t need to sellout, or risks becoming a part of the problem if they do. It is up to the fans to make what they want of the game day atmosphere — go to the games if you really want to contribute!
Sorry, guys… been away on vacation, and now this morning a HS acquaintance died of cancer after a long fight. Might be in and out for a bit again. What’s even more fucked up is a much closer friend just got diagnosed with stage 4.
Angry, my condolences to you. This is more important than trivial crappy sports. Life is worth living, and being present, engaged. Not being constantly tied down to screens and electronic devices. I will be praying for you, take your time and do what’s best for you.
No need to apologize, hang in there and keep things in perspective.
Thanks, guys. I’m okay. From what I was told, this was a better outcome due to all the suffering the past year +. I’m really hoping my friend pulls through. It’s stage four, but from what we read about this one, it can be beat even at that stage.
Be back Monday.
My best to you and your friends family.
You have my condolences as well, and I’ll pray for your friend with cancer.
Positive thoughts for your friend and condolences for your loss.
Bailey makes a few lineup changes, Ober, McMahan, Meckler all start.
PAC12…….Go Beavs!
We’re getting some wood on it today.
That’s what she said.
You just can’t pass one up, can you? :-)
The pitchers are warming up in the batter’s box.
Whaa? Is that a Jon W. quote?
Tinkle likely entering nba draft according to former roommate. He “likes the idea of entering the draft” were his words.
Maybe that makes it easier to fire his dad.
We’ve missed signs a lot this year
Ya beat me to it. Casey may come back sooner rather than later if this keeps up! Gotta be killing him.
Malone’s swing is built for hr. So many big swooping swings.
Ober, Casey, and Fuchs due up in t9, between them they have half the Beavers hits tonight (vs other arms).
Don’t understand why Bailey is pressing the action on a pitcher throwing balls. Could have two guys on base in the ninth.
….with no outs, just to clarify.
Damn nice clutch hit by McGarry
And another clutch hit for Adley!
Hell yeah!
^^^^^^^
Start mulholland tomorrow
Quacks destroyed the Fuskies. Does that perversely open up a NIT spot for the Beavs?
Probably not as if ASU doesn’t get squeezed, someone else will.
If anything it’ll push a bubble team like Texas or Lipscomb down to the NIT
Actually, it may very well have done that because it gives OSU two more quality wins in the NET rankings. I haven’t seen the latest rankings but that could very well swing it in the Beavers favor.
Eisert’s last 5 outs were swinging K’s, just sayin’.
Nate’s mound visit did the trick?
He is a stud. Been really good from day one as a frosh.
Just read where someone posted on Oregon Live that Eisert should be the 3rd starter and turn Tweedt into a middle reliever. I totally agree as Eisert is just nasty. He was nasty last year and even nastier this year. I’m all in for making him the start on Sundays after Abel is healthy and back in the rotation or even before that. Clear as day he needs to be the pitcher on Sundays.
If we pair up Fehmel with Eisert I like the luxury of Eisert on the mound in the late innings. I like the arrangement with the guy with the consistent stuff going first and the guy with the nasty deceptive swing and miss stuff coming in late to shut it down.
Kinda the same with Tweedt/Chamberlain but I only feel good with Tweedt for 3 or 4 innings at this point where Fehmel is usually at least good for 5 innings.
We’d have a pretty good pen if we just relied on Pearce, Verburg, and Mulholland. Adding both Eisert and Chamberlain, who are more like secondary starting pitchers, is what makes our pen possibly the best in the country.
The announcer kept going on about the UCLA pen but they ran out 3 guys for an inning each, while we know Eisert can go the distance vs lefty and righty bats. If UCLA had trusted Kyle Mora to come back out in the 9th we would have had a tougher time winning last night. We scored off of both of their other 2 relievers, maybe we’ve just got a better handle on what we have.
I hate to say it and it’s painful to say, but I knew 2 weeks ago that Oregon was going to win the Pac12 tournament. It is highly unlikely that OSU will ever do what Oregon just did. Winning 8 games in a row to close out the season, and winning in dominating fashion in the final game, etc. Nope. Somehow they would find a way to choke and lose, especially with the National spotlight on them. The Ducks have that “it” factor, with a horrible human being as a coach, but he can really coach. It disgusts me to see them succeed after how many incidents that program has gotten away with. The students taking tests for the basketball team, to the gang rapists who gang raped the daughter of a UO athletic department employee only to drop charges after a huge settlement. They played in the NCAA tournament, then left school in April. Dana Altman is still there, and he’s still winning.
One thing that separates Altman from Tinkle is his willingness to continuously play a point guard who can play defense and facilitate ball movement.
Another is a lack overactive sweat glands.
Time to switch your allegiance to the Ducks?
youre on the wrong blog. You should find a blog that slobbers on anything that covers ducks athletics.. .especially softball and baseball.
Noticed Mama Machado added a crystal ball prediction for the Beavs to land Andy Alfieri earlier today. She doesnt usually bother with those predictions unless she’s been tipped off in some way, so I read into it as good news for OSU.
Last week I noticed when I posted this picture of Alfieri, his dad posted some pro OSU stuff shortly after. And his brother is on our staff already.
https://twitter.com/BeavRecruiting/status/1103465959333883906?s=19
Anyway, hopefully Angie is right and we land this kid. Top rated player in the state, and he will have offers from most teams when all is said and done. He’s a class cornerstone type player.
Also, keep in mind, it’s only March.
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I am green with envy. I can’t believe after all the shit settles, the quacks end up in the Big Dance with their worst team in forever.
Dastrup chose Beavs over Grand Canyon and I think it was Vermont. Not sure what that says.
GA story regarding cheerleading coach furthered
Confirmed. News to me was she had an abortion and that medical paperwork is what forced the university to do something. Also didn’t realize the cheerleading coach was not GA’s first and only act of infidelity while at osu.
Coaches don’t think barnes is competent at his job. His handling of a wrestling assistant coach didn’t go over well. Never interviewed the coach before firing him. Will have to look into story. Saw barnes while waiting to board plane. Was disappointed how unfriendly he was. Did hear him complaining about some conzano sorry related to suites at football games. Said he had to make him correct a few details. I don’t know what story as I don’t read conzano.
Tinkle sisters can drink. Especially when it’s free drink tickets at a pregame event.
Even though Beavs lost early tourney was fun. Lots of sports fans in the area. T Mobil stadium is very nice.
Sounds legit because there doesn’t seem to be any record of who the OSU cheer coach was. Barnes must have had them wipe her from history.
Was Amber Bezates the cheer coach around that time? I know she was for quite a few years but no idea when her tenure ended.
I checked out TMobile for a Duke/UNLV non con game a few years ago. Agree, nice arena. Also nice that it’s walking distance from the strip. Dont think that location was good for the OSU men’s bb team though. They looked like they had been up too late partying in their game vs Colorado.
When they say that a lot of the Beaver baseball backups would be starters for most teams, it’s true.
Andy Atwood transfered to Texas Rio Grande Valley which is currently 12-7 with an RPI of 121. Andy is leading the team in at-bats, hits, runs, has a team best batting average of .364 and also leads in OBP and slugging %. He had a homer in a win vs Oklahoma State a few weeks ago.
We met his mom down in Surprise two years ago. Nice lady, but we picked up the frustration with the playing time, so no shock about the transfer. That being said, i remember thinking after Nick got hurt I bet he wished he had stuck it out. He would have been the 2B and had a CWS championship ring.
What can we say. Fortune always smiles on the Ducks and takes a big fat $h*t on the Beavs, it seems. They’ll probably make it all the way to the sweet sixteen, and possibly the elite eight. The Beavers won’t even make the NIT tournament, which is competition for 69th place!
eat a dick duckie
By the way your quacks lost 19-3 yesterday to UW in a real sport
I don’t get the sense that “OSU4Life” is a Duck fan. I think he is frustrated at how the hoops season turned out with the Beavs fading and the Ducks becoming a success story. I think most of us have given up on hoops being relevant with Tinkle as the coach.
100% correct! It’s definitely harder to understand what happened to OSU basketball these past two weeks. It’s beyond frustrating, it’s what has become the normal outcome. Will it ever change? Maybe someday, it doesn’t look promising for the foreseeable future. I’ve been a Beaver fan for over 30 years, Beaver Basketball has been disappointing for all but the 2015 season.
Tell us how the ducklings will win the big one? Will it be in basketball or football? Will the fans be relieved that all that money was well spent? Maybe it’s the Italian leather toilet seats?
They are the kings of doing less with more… why would OSU ever want to emulate them?
He has had a few other instances where he was throwing back handed compliments.. Dude is definitely a duck.
Obsession/infatuation with duckies much?
Some more duck love :-) Seriously, I think the Beavs could learn a lot from how the ducks made the tournament.
https://247sports.com/college/oregon/Article/Oregon-basketball-Pac-12-Tournament-130164489/Amp/?__twitter_impression=true
“The Ducks began a stretch of basketball that saved the season. Oregon’s players say they gave up worrying about their own success and did whatever was asked of them to win. For some, that meant having a more important role on defense than offense. For others, that asked them to swallow their pride and allow others to play more minutes. Oregon’s effort on the court increased. The Ducks are playing harder than they have all year. You see players diving onto the floor for loose balls, crashing the glass on rebounds, talking more on defense, and most importantly enjoying one another’s success as if it was their own.”
It’s 5 days old, but this piece by Wilner sets the table for a report on yesterday’s planned meeting between the PAC12 presidents, AD’s, and Larry Scott. Very worthwhile reading with notes about, among other things, the hiring of an outside group to look at football officiating.
Wilner seems hopeful that changes will be made and sees a power shift in progress. Arizona State AD Ray Anderson and Washington State AD Pat Chun are mentioned as keys to the changes, Dr Ray and Barnes are, notably, not mentioned.
Chun, who sounds like a tough cookie, says, “The past four or five months, the conference has been very deliberate about communicating. And it’s noted.”

UPDATE, as of March 18. More below, after the meeting and by an Arizona writer. Ray losing influence.
Game is underway and broadcast on PAC12, anyone else think Beau is due? 1 for 9 in this series so far.
McGary hits a 1:1 pitch OUT! Good guys up 1-0 t1, 1 out.
Tweedt is getting lit up
Now that Taylor has been replaced, Tweedt is next to go. Would like to see someone other than Gambrell get a shot. Burns maybe?
Not only is Philip due at the plate, he is due to start fielding much better. An E today and didn’t look sharp at all yesterday.
4-2 Bruins with one out and 2 on in b1.
80 degrees and even Jon W. knows it is no time to be wearing black……..yet Beavs are in Black tops.
Bad call that was a force out at 2nd base
Didn’t look that way to me.
we will not know as the pac 12 network has failed to show re-plays of close plays all weekend. I’m not saying the call was wrong I’d just like to see it again
This went to shit in a heartbeat
I know how much you love Jon W.
Watching on TV and listening to him really shows how badly he does, called a pitch low and inside when TV showed high and probably outside. And, of course, there is the inability to determine how many baserunners are on, and where.
At least we got 4 hits through our first 8 batters. We should be able to put some runs up today
I like this lineup, I think we’re finally settling in. Except I’m not sure why Meckler would be in left instead of Preston Jones
Agree on that
Rutschman strikes out looking to end the T 2nd with the bases loaded on a ball that was low and outside.
If Adley doesn’t swing, we know it wasn’t a strike
Beau is due
This guy has a Kevin Able change-up. But no curve. Surprising he’s only got 5 innings pitched for the season. 2nd time through might be the charm.
Vanderbilt just lost their series with Tex A&M. If we can pull this one out today we’ll probably be #1 in all polls.
UCLA or MSU will be there.
Holy shit Adley is incredible
And Beau is still due! 0 for 3 so far with a K
Pretty much carrying the offense at this point, everyone else is striking out like crazy
Rutschman ties it up! 2-run HR, 5-5 T 5th.
2 run bomb to left. First earned runs given up by Chamberlain on the season
Ouch
UCLA hitter gets under one and it carries out. Offense has some work to do down 8-5 with 4 innings left
Now 3 left, thanks(?) to a great play by Bruin LF
Nice rip by Mendazona tough break with the diving catch
Slumping Malone shouldn’t be hitting at 5th. Not sure why hot hitting Ober and Mendazona are so far down the in the order….Meckler looking like shit too.
And that muff doesn’t help Malone’s cause
I’m having a bad effect on the team today. I’ve tuned in for 30 seconds 3 times over the last few innings to see how things are going, and we have given up a 2R HR, a solo HR and that Malone botched popup which scored a run. I give up
You suck^^^
New pitcher for UCLA, good news
Dammit Beau, fanned at ball 4 twice. Bad weekend for him.
Verberg pitched well.
Should we pinch hit for Malone? Maybe Jake Harvey?
This pitcher looks different from yesterday. Looks like he’s lobbing up meatballs
He Fuched that meatball.
This announcer is almost as bad as Warren.
Believe it or not it’s Dick Enberg’s son.
Seriously
No ph for Meckler???
Twice today the Beavs have had bases loaded, and neither time could they produce runs.
That and unearned runs were key to this loss. Need to clean it up!
A chance for Beau to redeem himself? Two on and down 3, don’t need anything more than basehit.
EDIT/ADD: FAIL, sac rbi don’t mean a thing
Time for Tyler to redeem himself
Who recently said Adley couldn’t run??
A very insightful poster:)
Might have been out at first
But nice hustle by Adley to 2nd
Ober gets the golden sombrero and UCLA wins 9-7. Hard to win when you strike out 14 times as a team
Good news about the weekend: making mistakes and lacking much hitting outside of game two and homeruns today so barely lost to the top team in the conference. Learn early from mistakes. Bad news is guys that were suppose to step in to new hitting rolls aren’t getting it done. Also bad news dropping a series right away. Curious to see how the team rebounds. I guess Abel’s injury is worse than originally reported.
No NIT for the Beavs. Only P-12 team is Colorado.
Quacks vs Badgers. This will test my hatred.
If you look at it the right way, you can’t lose.
There is that.
Next season’s team will be below .500, like 13-18.
I have a beavrecruiting bracket group through ESPN, if anybody is interested in joining.

Shitty last few days from a Beaver sports fan perspective.
Solid proof that the “angrybeavs.com” jinx worries are unfounded!
Ok so if we miss the post season next year, Tinkle is out, right? I don’t remember the specifics of his contract but I hope the financials don’t prevent the university from making a change. He’s had 5 seasons of time, and the on court product has mostly been as ugly as a mud fence in a rainstorm.
We are at a huge disadvantage compared to other pac12 schools in terms of location and support, we need a tactical x’ and O’s type of coach who can scheme us to a few extra wins per year. We’re not going to be winning many recruiting battles anytime soon.
OSU4life….is that you?

Fuck you guys. I’m tired of being the laughing stock of the west coast in major sports. People like you with loser attitudes are a big part of the problem.
Well of course, and yet the rent is low enough for us to live inside your head! Thanks for your contributions.
You have a confusing name. Oklahoma State Cowboys. Same colors and everything. People could think you are pre trolling for our big football series. Eskimo Joe’s mean anything to you?
Quack, quack, quack, Mr. Ducksworth
Beav baseball drops to #2 in the coaches poll. UCLA goes to #1.
We’re still #1 in RPI.
Baseball America and D1Baseball both rank us lower, at #7 because they have sworn an oath to always squeeze in a group of SEC/ACC schools ahead of us.
Ladies got stuck in the toughest region, but they got a gift in their 5 seed being Gonzaga, who lost their starting point and 6th woman to injury during the WCC tournament.
Ahh, was thinking this was a tough draw as they beat Stanford earlier this year. Good to know.
Don’t you mean their 6th nonspecific gender neutral life form?
I know it’s overkill, but I looked at the NIT selections a little closer. How the hell does a 18-16 Nebraska team who also went 6-14 in league play get in over a team like Oregon St? I don’t care how good the Big 10 is, that seems off. Also, San Diego, who finished 7th (7-9) in the WCC got in. WTF?
Oh well, time to get geared up for next season (sarcasm intended)!
Just catching up. We didn’t make the NIT?
Tinkle has to go. Maybe one more year if his son comes back, but that’s it.
Didn’t “make” the CBI either, thank goodness.
Couldn’t afford to make it.
Since Neb.is an interloper in the B1G and not in the Big12 where they should be, your post gets a one star rating :)
They were still saying up until a couple weeks ago they could get in the NCAA because of the NET ratings? They started out the season rated and based on the eye test they looked pretty good. Their
starting five was as good as anyone in the league and they have some impressive players/ athletes.
They had no bench and one of the players went down with injury and another went into a slump and down goes Frazier. The B1G this year was a meat grinder with a bunch of very good teams. Even my flawed Gophers beat UW in the non conf.
meat grinder or not, a team that won just over 1/4 of its conference games should not be playing in the NIT.
Despite the fact that the Pac-12 did itself no favors in non conference play, that 3rd and 4th place teams did not get an NIT invite is awful. The 5th place team however, did. Four teams are playing in the postseason.
Had Oregon not gotten hot and won the Pac-12 tournament I guarantee they’d be playing in the NIT and the Beavs would still be sitting it out.
I see no one has even mentioned the ACC got three of the four number one seeds in the NCAA tournament. Absolute BS
The non conference schedule turned out to be pretty weak and only included two teams that made the NCAA or NIT tournaments………….
UC-Riverside 10-23
Wyoming 8-24
Old Dominion 26-8 (NCAA tournament)
Missouri 15-17
Penn 19-12
Long Beach St 15-19
Missouri St 16-16
St Louis 23-12 (NCAA tournament)
Texas A&M 14-18
Pepperdine 16-18
Kent St 22-10 (CIT)
CCSU 11-20
I joined your tourney bracket, NB.
Let’s just do that one instead of me making one.

Tough series vs UCLA but I think it showed exactly who the beavs are.
A very good team but not a championship team. Still would have lost 2 of 3 even if Abel started.
The goal the rest of the year is to win every home series and try to get one or two series win on the road. Don’t get swept on the road and sweep a couple of home series.
Agree 100%
The question for me, at least, is how quickly will the guys who are just now starting and who are considered to be first line players eliminate miscues, missed signs, and flat out errors. The hitting inconsistency has already been noted. This group has very little margin for error and it isn’t hard to see their ranking falling.
A mid season rank of 15-20 with an end of season rank of top 10 wouldn’t surprise me. Then, anything can happen post season.
Losing 2/3 to UCLA didn’t surprise me. What surprised me was how unimpressive both UCLA and the Beavs were. Our starting pitching isn’t that great and I’m not sure if we can really count on Abel yet. When he’s on he’s really good but hasn’t shown any real consistency yet. Our offense is a work in progress but should continue to be inconsistent. My biggest concern is our defense at 3B and Malone in RF. In fact, there’s been several indications this year that Malone is a liability… at the plate, on the bases and in the field. Last year it was easy to hide his weaknesses but this year not so much. Beavs will probably finish 4th or 5th in Pac 12. Stanford wins it with ASU and UCLA battling for second. UW will be other contender for top 5.
We are the 83rd ranked football team in the preseason rankings. That is fucking pathetic!
Ur mom is pathetic
Some might say a duck fan visiting a beaver blog while posing as an unconvincing beaver fan is even more pathetic.
Sounds like Beavs mbb assistant Greg Gottlieb may be a candidate for a few head coaching vacancies. Have seen his name come up in UNLV and Cal Poly rumors tonight.
What lousy asst. coach has a highly ranked son that is a Jr. in HS?
Please send replies to Tinkle@i’mnotaverygoodcoach.beavs
Wouldn’t that be a kick in the nads when one of our assistant coaches goes to UNLV on a cheap deal and becomes a more successful head coach than our current head coach?
I know he has interest in the Cal Poly job specifically
Look for Kevin Abel to see relief duty this weekend, per comments by Bailey on radio. This as a step towards getting him back into the starting rotation.
PB also said, of Beau Philip’s woes at the plate, “He’s seeing PAC12 pitching now.” Pat didn’t seem too concerned about Philip’s bat, or glove for that matter.
Eggers paints a fairly rosy picture for Tinkle’s squad next year, discusses three recruits from So.Cal.
Stevie Thompson Sr. pipeline?
https://portlandtribune.com/pt/12-sports/422871-327005-beavers-new-look-will-start-with-recruits
Pipe dreams not pipline
* pipeline
Need to schedule down next year. Load up on as many cupackes as they can in non conference.
On one hand, I’m glad it seems like Tinkle finally got a true point guard.
On the other hand, it shouldn’t have taken him three years to finally realize that we need a true point guard badly.
We’ve had true point guards recruited and signed. And all of them not named Vernon have transferred.
or flunked out like Bruce or were absolutely terrible like Stacy
“Lucas received scholarship offers from such programs as Nevada, Nevada-Las Vegas, Fresno State, Mississippi, Santa Clara and Tulsa.”
“Hunt averaged 11.8 points, 7.1 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals as the Knights went 25-7, won the league title and advanced to the sectional finals this season. He received scholarship offers from the likes of Southern Cal, Nevada, UNLV, San Diego State, Boise State and Colorado State.”
“Franklin had scholarship offers from New Mexico, Northeastern, Pepperdine and Texas-El Paso.”
An interesting name that popped up on my fb recruiting radar a few days ago is Mique Juarez. Former 2016 5* Linebacker. Riley originally recruited him and I believe Andersen actually got him to visit campus at one point, but he ended up at UCLA.(had offers from pretty much every school you could think of)
https://247sports.com/Player/Mique-Juarez-49705/high-school-84256/
Anyway, he hasn’t had a stellar career at UCLA, partially because of injuries(concussion(s)) and coaching changes. This year, Chip Kelly is forcing him to medically retire, despite him wanting to continue playing. Apparantly Kelly won’t honor his playing scholarship, so he has entered the transfer portal. I tweeted about this the other day, and since that time, several of our coaches look to be in contact with him.
Could be a potential big guy to land for OSU if all works out, and should be eligible immediately because of circumstances with UCLA forcing him out. A name to watch out for.
If he commits to Oregon State he’ll be downgraded to a 2* in the transfer portal “rankings”.
Reading through the comments from UCLA fans, you’d think they would agree with that re-ranking. They’re brutal. He doesn’t appear to be well liked by their fanbase. Guess the guy shouldn’t have gotten concussed.

Yes, all knowing Andrew Nemec will deem him “not an impact” player.

Just telling the truth
Fight fire with fire. I like it
Video from Luke’s first game. Poor quality as it is taken through the cyclone fence from the bullpen area. Looks like they’re playing on an elementary school field, but good to see Luke actually get a chance to set foot on a field somewhere and start a career.

Was that Bartolo Colon walking by?
That’s sad to see.
Baseball needs a sweep this weekend. If Abel does pitch relief, it’ll be on Friday to have him ready for next weekend.
Hopefully home field can restart some of the bats. Jones, Casey, Armstrong all need to grind out some good at bats this weekend.
A return to generally heads up ball and the kind of quality fielding we’ve been accustomed to would be nice as well.
You mean you want to see a PC coached team again, OOB? Warts and all? ;)
I think we’ll see PC as HC in a while, meantime, we have only a small sample of Bailey in this role.
Notwithstanding his success at George Fox, I do wonder if Bailey puts the “fear of failure” factor into his players. Casey always said that he became friends with his players after they graduated. To some small degree I wonder if Bailey is too nice.
Casey’s warts? He’s got ’em, Angry is the expert there.

https://chrissailerkicking.com/player-rankings/profile?player=9443
Good student based on GPA listed of 4.4. Can never have too much competition.
Write up from the profile:
Everett is an outstanding high school kicking prospect. He is a good looking athlete that kicks with great technique and confidence. Field goals and kickoffs are both college ready. He hits a pure ball off the ground and has 55+ yard range. He drives the ball deep with nice hang time on kickoffs, college ready. Also a very capable punter. A competitor that does very well under pressure. Everett has the makeup of a fantastic college player. I look forward to seeing what the future holds. Everett has a bright college future. He is a fine young man that is always a pleasure to work with. One of the hardest workers out there. Excellent prospect
Any insight as to why he picked the Beavs? I’m super glad he did just wondering why the Beavs and not, shall I say, a more competitive team. Maybe the coaching staff along a program at the university helped?
Jordan Choukair was a 5 star at Chris sailors camp.
Don’t be a wet blanket
Darn you, Eggers!
Unable to come up with a good story on Beavs Football practice, he reviews Grand Funk Railroad
Seriously, always impressed by the range of topics/teams he covers.

I’m getting closer to my home………
thanks, OOB. I always liked Grand Funk, indeed most Michigan based rock bands, like Bob Seger. I saw both play in Michigan in 1970. My sister, who I was visiting at the time, lived in a small town west of Flint on the Grand Trunk Railroad.
The bass riff in “I’m Your Captain” is one of the best, right up there with Jack Bruce (from Cream) on “Badge.”
T’was fun to go to a first round game and pull the upset and win. New Mexico State Coug’d it.
Congrats BG. I need to get a 2nd team so I can experience an occasional tournament win. It looks like fun
Maybe Tinkle wants to go back to Montana so he can at least make the tourney, even if it’s as a 15 seed.
