Go Beavs, I guess.

But honestly I am getting so sick of Riley I am close to wishing loses…a win today will be Lucy placing the football, more fools buying in, and years of prolonged pain. Just saying.

I really do want the Beavs to move up the all-time win chart (and hit .500 in my lifetime) so I have to root for them, but it’s tough knowing it means more Riley and his apologists.

  1. Oh how I share your pain!

    Just watched part of the Illinois-tOSU game and was impressed with the Ill QB, and offense generally, in a losing cause. Watching the pace of that O just methodically moving from the end of a play up to the line as they received the play call from the sideline was such a contrast to the Beavs.

    So tired of hearing about Riley’s sophisticated offense! Even with an experienced squad, we never seem to see that kind of steady pace. When the game situation dictates “hurry up” the Beavs are seldom able to respond. How can anyone not blame coaching?

    Oh yes, anyone else catch Philipp’s comments about playing on the road? He seems to betray a lack of focus at home when he says the Beavers are able to focus on football when they’re on the road. And, “we just have no distractions when we go on the road…” I may be reading too much into that remark, but considering the source and the overall performance, do ya blame me?

    • The Illness has not won a game in the B1G in two years so a poor choice of contrast. tOSU was killing them early and the D shut down and allowed Illinois to score some points. No killer instinct, despite the score.
      Agree 100% about the lack of a hurry up option for our offense.

      • I was in the air and missed that game. But, I like hearing about a team that didn’t quit despite the scoreboard. I lost a lot of Beaver Belief two weeks ago, when we flat gave up vs UsC.

      • The only comparison I was making was the pace of the Ill offense vs the pace of the Beavs. Still think that is valid, I’ve never seen the Beavs move to the next snap like Illness did when I was watching.

        Actually, with the dismal season and coaching questions at Ill, the enthusiasm and energy shown by their O is even more impressive.

    • Crank it like a Cornsaw?
      You can probably hear my brother screaming F bombs in the stands. Sure hope Sparty wins so I can give him shit at Thanksgiving.

    • Is it a sickness to hear what should not exist?

      You are probably not ill. But this song has lived beyond its worth.

      Me singing in the shower has more value… in every way… except for your opponent embarrassing you during my song which is supposed to inspire you.

      But then there’s NU peeps doing stupid shit.

      Never underestimate the stupidity of stupid people.

      I don’t know if I can say that and make it stick. Stupid people do things you would never imagine a sane person might do. And it doesn’t have anything to do with sanity.

      It’s just that there’s a large segment of our society which is really really stupid.

  2. Wazzu wants our New Mexico Bowl spot. If you were Albuerquerque would you want a team who won 2 of their last 3 with a pretty good road win to play themselves into it or a team who lost their last 5 games and mostly beat cupcakes early in the season if it plays out that way?

    Silver lining is Riley has to go to a bowl to get the low bar extension BDC has set up. If the Pac-12 doesn’t send one of its 6-6 teams it would likely be OSU because of the above scenario. More likely, even in the tailspin scenario of losing our last 5, OSU would still get either the Poinsettia or New Mexico Bowl. I’d prefer not going to a bowl in this case to not extend Riley when losing 5 straight and finishing with a complete assplant like Charlie Brown.

    • Wazzu is gonna have to beat Utah (will Wilson be back for that game) or UW (Price’s status unknown). I think they’ll get one of those if not both

  3. Anyone heard an update on that QB from Washington that claims to be one of the better ones in the Pac-12? Supposed to have an MRI back in Seattle today.

    • Shut up! Keith Price is the mostest bestest quarterback in the history and future of the Pac… um… his conference.

      He has been and will continue to be just the most excellent person available for … hmmm… well… What were we talking about?

      I guess I’ll go to bed now… and not pay attention to you… you who is not here.

  4. Duke beats Miami and now has the inside track to the ACC title game in the coastal division. Fucking Duke! And we can’t get to the Pac-12 title game?

  5. What everyone else said for the same reasons. Go Furd. Also, Go tOSU, Baylor, Bama and Floriduh State. Ducks would not be guaranteed a BCS bowl bid if they finish lower than 4th in the BCS standings. Wouldn’t that just be the icing on the cake? The dicks wind up in the Alamo bowl? Oh the horror in eugene!!!!

  6. ASU coach “our goal is never to reach a bowl game; it’s to win the pac-12 south”

    Didn’t Riley once say the team’s first goal is a bowl, then they go from there? I can’t find the article…

  7. Beavs Lose 42-38, but its only that close because we score twice in the 4th. We lose a major player to injury, and the long cold winter starts early.

    stick that prediction in your chainsaw carved Beaver statue and smoke it.

  8. Wow. Reynolds with the pic on a horribly underthrown ball. If that’s on the money it’s an easy TD. Reynolds was soundly beaten

  9. wow. that formation looked like the Pettibone years. Wishbone, run it up the middle for a 1 yd gain. I would’ve gone for it too. But wow, he was double covered. Jesus Mannion. Essentially the same as punting it though. 2 turnovers, zero points.

  10. stop them on 3rd down and give them a freebie with the 15 yd face mask penalty. Then they torch us with a long run. I don’t know why ASU is even bothering to throw the ball.

  11. Ill be turning this off if we fall behind by 20 before halftime. Oh well, at least I expected us to lose this game and badly so it’s not surprising so far

    • I think Cooks has mailed in the season. Not sure if it evidence that he is leaving or going to stay as his draft stock plummets to the seventh round.

  12. That’s it. I’m done. Not even gonna make it halfway thru the 2nd quarter. Dear Riley and staff,

    Fuck you all in the ass with a pitchfork. You’re all shitty coaches and shitty recruiters. But thanks for being so nice. It’s really a feel good, lovey dovey story. And double fuck you BDC for being the worst AD in the conference and allowing this bullshit to continue.

  13. I watched the 4th quarter of the Duke game and had some Deja vu moments. Hearing how long it’s been since they’ve done well and seeing how much fun the fans were having brought back some great memories. Too bad they’re fading into the distant past.

  14. I switched over to the USC/Tree game, and then ralized I needed to take a shit. While I was itting on the crapper I had a revelation about life. Im stuck with Mike Riley and company. I try to fight it and rail against it and curse the football gods every week but it wont change anything.

    My outrage at the system wont change anything. The Beavs will ALWAYS be a mediocre team, even if/when Riley leaves/dies/retires. Its the nature of the beast.

    Ive decided to change my entire outlook and just simply follow the braindead pollyannas and be grateful for what we have. Its just entirely too frustrating believing anything else.

    Im hereby done…as an angrybeaver. I quit.

    • I doubt it. He’s just winning because his players are all monster recruits who no longer have to put up with Fink.

      Orgeron would be exposed as a head coach next year. It would be less so than Fink, but he’s not going to get them to their entitled land. He’s a recruiter who isn’t really a good position coach or coordinator. He’s not as bad as an Eddie Gran or Tosh Lupoi. But he does get kids to come to his school.

  15. will somebody put flavaflav and his giant clock right next to rilescause he has no sense of time, the worst time manager in the history of football. Better yet, leave him and Boob Declueless at the airport ala Kiffen and just be done with this whole mess

  16. Beavs are trying to pull a Lucy on us again. They seem to have new life and a little momentum. Defense is playing pretty well. Tight ends making plays. Just waiting for that back breaking INT.

  17. Starting to feel like too little too late…but that was a nice goal line stand. Great play by DJ to save the TD on 3rd down and keep Grice out of the end zone.

  18. Interesting Graham is still playing Grice…. we complained earlier this season about playing our starters when the game was in hand. Riley’s not the only one apparently.

  19. Have we reached the point yet where other teams are praying that Mike Riley stays our (predictable and beatable) coach for as long as possible?

  20. Give me a head coach who spits his gum on the field if it means a winner and someone who doesn’t think he deserves extensions for shit bowls. Riley can beat no one that is decent. He fails so often it is entirely expected. Riley does mm’t deserve to take this team to a crap bowl with his extra shitty 2nd half of the season and no other FBS school would give an extension after so many consecutive bad losses.

    BDC is a buffoon and needs to be fired!! He does nothing and is a complete joke of an AD.

  21. Thanks , I’ve recently been searching for info approximately this topic for ages and yours
    is the best I have came upon so far. But, what in regards
    to the conclusion? Are you positive concerning the supply?
