    • what’s up with the strategy with the Mississippi game. Beavers down by 20 + points yet the guards are walking the ball up the court. what a slow lazy game they played & the turnovers horrible.

  1. Word out at Nike is there is a highly secret Oregon State uniform redesign about halfway complete. Tightening down certain elements. Expect the 85 or so percent who think the 2010 Giant Killer take to be the best OSU has ever worn to be pleased as core elements of that popular version are said to be incorporated with subtle but tangible modifications that give a firm impression Oregon State Football under Andersen is burgeoning on a new dynasty in the Beaver State.

    • Once more, props to wannabeav for finding the Big Red OverReaction radio show. Schadenfreude at its best!

      As posted on that thread, the final caller seriously said he thinks Riley is smart and is hesitant to improve too quickly! Says he thinks the plan is for Langs to take over when Riley retires and they want room for Langs to show further improvement. The guy sounded serious!! Hosts had no time to reply as program ended there.

      BTW, my mild post on the Husker board is over a half hour old and no response (other than 1 downvote) yet.

  2. Of course the year we don’t play Arizona state they are hot trash. Getting absolutely railroaded by Arizona in the territorial cup.

  3. False start is a rediculous call. The defense can stunt and move but the offense flinches and five yards. It’s a joke. I say incidental movement as long as you don’t cross the line.

    • You want ridiculous? How about this business of targeting resulting in expulsion?

      I rather see targeting redefined and “spearing” added to the list, make what is now often called targeting a 15 yd penalty and use expulsion for spearing. But, that would take judgement on the part of the zebras.

      Spearing would be blatant, intentional, and involving helmet to helmet.

      • Agreed. If I’m a smart quarterback I bait the defense into a targeting call by sliding at the last second. I don’t know why more quarterbacks don’t do that.

    • The refs are calling because the defense is yelling and it’s very similar to the cadence. You can shift all you want but you can’t say hike with it every time.

  4. Speaking of shit head ASU players, just saw on ESPN that Burfict got fined 12k for shooting double freedom rockets at the fans in the stands at his last game. What a fucking meat head.

    • I know someone on here is able to pull ip addresses I’ve seen them do it before, I think it as jack. Jack is it the same troll each week using new names, or do random people just drop in during their teams game week to troll?

      • I don’t think it’s jack, I don’t think he could troll by only posting once…….it would be several……..in a row…with terrible music added.
        Or here’s a question, normal jack posts terrible music. Would a troll jack post good music?

        • Oh I didn’t mean Jack was the troll, I meant I thought Jack was the guy computer savvy enough to pull people’s ip/personal info.

          I thought I’d seen him dox someone here before.

          • I peg poser trolls with their use of idiosyncratic language. You have to be a stalker and a pervert just to get in the mindset for doxxing someone. And even then, you can’t trust that you’re doxxing the right person anyway.

            It happened to me once years ago, but it wasn’t me. I used a lot of hot spots, some common. I still do sometimes because the down/up is usually faster than a sat link… and it’s not my data usage being counted. Someone posted a pic of a friend of mine working on his laptop and gave his address to some unseemly trolls… thinking it was me they were targeting.

            There were two incidents in recent years where police had to be involved (not related to this site). In one of the investigations, there was someone up in the Seattle area (from this site) who pinged another of my friends. But nothing came of that, and it was unrelated to the hacks.

            Worms can be expensive.

  5. Recap of the bball game. I went. Gill is looking good. Has that old school feel. Huge plus that they went with all black lower bowl.

    Onto the game,
    Defense is there. Can’t really stop a guy hitting threes from 25 ft.

    Why they lost and will continue to lose,
    1. Talent. They don’t have enough. I underestimated the loss of Bruce and duvivier. They had much better handles than the current guys. Stacy is basically useless.
    2. Because of the loss, that means sanders and Muller and playing minutes they weren’t supposed to get.
    3. Guys stretch too far out of the zone defense creating space for the opponents.
    4. McLoughlin still needs to step up the focus and intensity. Saw a glimpse of it at the end of the game. Ridiculous that he himself got a 10 second call.
    5.i don’t see guys deferring to tres. They just lack confidence and maybe rightly so after Muller bricked one off the side of the backboard.

    After seeing them in person, they won’t win more than 5 games in conference. Any postseason is out of the question.

    • I was at the game, too. Everything Bill says I agree with except I say, instead of lacking confidence, they lack heart.

      Standing around a lot waiting for something … but couldn’t seem to figure out what. Stacy is really unsure of himself, although at the end of the game he did drive to the basket a couple times and even made one.

      McL needs to drive more also. Don’t wait ’til the game is almost over, start in the first qtr.

    • Liar.

      The only difference between you and Phil Knight is that he could trade and sell goods with the United States… thus taking advantage of his captive labor.

      I’m pretty sure Alberto Salazar said as much in his book… well… I may be reading between some lines of fuzzy memory.

      I’m not surprised a sentence with Phil Knight in it is red baiting, though.

  6. I have a game thread scheduled for 12:15 tomorrow. If it doesn’t post for any reason, someone email me to remind me. Think we’re going to be happy tomorrow with a win and some commits.

    • It’s so weird. It’s been so long since we last beat the Ducks that I can’t even imagine what that looks like. It’s hard for me to believe we can actually win, even though this is our best chance in a long time. Certainly there are no players on the team who know what it’s like to beat the Ducks. Is there anyone on our coaching staff who has beaten the Ducks?

  7. Back to the Big Red……
    My older bro still bitching and moping several hours after the game…..hehe. He was still pissed about their volleyball team losing here to my Gophers. I told him earlier in the day I thought Iowa would win by a couple of touch downs. I was wrong!!!!! Regarding the five yard punt,”have you ever seen anything that bad?” Me, “yup, Bruce Read special.”
    The incredible thing is my brother thinks Armstrong is a big part of the problem, when he has been the saving grace due to his running ability. Wait till next year and human statues…..that
    throw picks.

    • Denial. Not just a river in Eqypt. Many here were guilty of the same thoughts (some still will still lick the Riley ball sweat. Looking at you Goe!)

      RiLLLLey WILL NEVER win a B1G title. It’s possible he may get them to the title game as he only has to compete really with maybe Iowa and Wisky in their division. But he doesn’t have the ability to come up with a gameplan to beat a Harbs or the Urb. Suck it Nebby. Your AD wanted him and paid OSU 500K to get him. Suckers!!! Not our fucking problem anymore.

  8. Was talking to my old man last night (Duck grad) and said that if Herman winds up at Texas, Helf gets fired and Nebby decides to cut bait with Simple Jack that just maybe he winds up in Eugene. He muttered one word. Mutiny

    It won’t happen but it sure is fun to plant the seed

  9. LOL. Brother wakes up and starts bitching about the special teams coach and how they better fire him or MR will get fired. Good luck with that. #rileycrony.

  10. FWIW, OSU and UO recruiting classes ranked 27th and 26th by Rivals and Nebraska at #24. Yes, OSU is bringing in a bigger class, but its interesting to see the gap closing – even with no airport.

    “From 2011-2016, the Ducks’ recruiting classes have finished 9, 16, 22, 23, 17 and 28 in the country according to Rivals, while the Beavers have placed at 58, 40, 38, 50, 59 and 40. ”

    Great day to host recruits with a finally sold out Reser, great job by Andersen and staff to get them here for today’s game.

  11. Someone above posted no heart in our MBB team. I think it is more young ones a little out of their league right now. WT has team playing good defense. He just needs to teach them how to shoot, rebound on the offense, and attach on offense. Tres is the only one out there playing maturely. Eubanks looks good and has a mean streak in him. They needs Thompson and Kone back.

      • It feels like they need one more power forward since WT missed on Dew. They seem like the Brent Barry Beavers currently with one great player in Tres and an inconsistent group around him. Eubanks dominates weak competion, but is easily neutralized against mature experienced inside players.

    • They kind of said what you mentioned awhile back about the interceptions and passing percentage being a concern against that level of competion. Travis Wilson is a decent comparison, but Wilson had a bizarre throwing motion. Luton looks pretty good on that three step he takes.

  12. One thing that has me rolling my eyes is the crap in the papers about the rivalry being “meaningful” to the Ducks once again. Sure now that they are shitty. I get it, Helfich has to grasp at every straw out there at this point.

  13. Not sure why my observation regarding the game was deleted but since we’re now on to another thread and the football game I’m putting it back in.

    Pee-FUCKING-Ew
