Go Beavs.
I’m going 28-21 good guys. Edit: after seeing one play and the lack of effort, I’d like to change this to 45-7, bad guys.
Go Beavs.
I’m going 28-21 good guys. Edit: after seeing one play and the lack of effort, I’d like to change this to 45-7, bad guys.
First. Beavs win 24- 21
Radio Note: Play by play will be done by Ron Callan, he has a 100% record for wins in FB games he has broadcast (1), and is 100% so far with WBB. FWIW
Sun Devils by 14.
Just don’t think OSU has the line to stay in this game. Center play has been terrible lately
but for the safety you would have hit this on the spot
Finally!! Episode 11 of the never-ending season. Will be a replay of the first 10 episodes. Beavs hang in the first half. Disintegrate in the second when; Hall sugar high wears off and they fail to adjust. Nall scores a late meaningless touchdown, again, to make it 35-21.
PS: If you’re at the game its Senior day. Watch out for extra walkers in the aisles and long bathroom lines. Cheerleaders have been working on special “down in front” cheer in their honor.
Hoping for a win for the Seniors and for Hall to get some DC consideration with a win since he was more involved in the defense this week. If Beavs pull off the W, I hope Hall talk doesn’t get carried away leading into Civil War. Simply don’t believe Beavs will have enough offensive identity under him and not be able to get hardly any road wins. Today we get a better idea if he has potential as a DC.
31 ASU, 27 OSU is my gut but Beavs should have shot to win it.
You mention the CW. I’ve been thinking this game today is actually a “two-fer”; if the Beavs win today their chances in the CW go way up*. Team needs to “learn to win”, I think there is a good chance they do today.
*W/O a win today I see the CW as a pick ’em; with a win maybe Beavs by 7
I think you mean 0-2 fer
potential as DC? after that, I think not. He’s coached (or rather, un-coached, himself out of that job. Interesting, a month ago I saw him as a prospect for the head job, now I don’t think ANY of those guys should be back, including Hall.
34-24 Beavs.
This 76 “Let’s just let Destiny take the wheel” commercial is the douchiest most faux-clever trying too hard commercial ever. Yeah, the guy’s named Destiny. Right.
Have it on good authority if Yurcich is named HC, the Coming in 2016 banner will come down. Progress.
45 – ??
I change my prediction to a loss. Haha.
This D didn’t come to play, yet again.
So far very underwhelmed by Hall’s influence on the defense.
Isn’t a rule u have to have your moutguard in? I think the qb had it in his facemask on that td. I guess if u know ur not going to get hit. Lol
Thanks, angry.
They are bad in every phase of the game. I’m so tired of the team being terrible.
Typical garbage play calling. Thank god Mcnugget will be gone in 7 days.
I’m most excited to see Clune get fired
Let’s not forget Crapperpants is the root of this evil. A big boy who shall live in Oregon State infamy.
“There was zero resistance at the line of scrimmage here”
:-(
Haha. Yep.
Hall for DC is a bad idea.
Yeah, I think #HallOut.
Good guy, but he was only able to motivate these players for a few games. He looked defeated now.
His message would have lasted had Nall not choked and they beat Stanford, once that happened I knew his message was dead.
I still think he can be a fit on a staff though.
Yeah I like him, but you can only do the rah rah thing so much before substance must prevail.
Also think he’s too much a “player’s coach” based on what I’ve seen and heard.
Yep, you can have a tough loss like that but not before you get the big win.
with the passage of time, we also see he is fond of propagating that narrative that the assistant coaches are good at making half time adjustments. The same crew that during the first half of the season could never get their units prepared for the second half are now geniuses at locker room adjustments. not buying it. what’s really going on is that our opponents race ahead to a ridiculous lead, cannot believe how bad their opponent (OSU) is, and lose focus.
“His message would have lasted had Nall not choked and they beat Stanford”
So very true. Gotta “learn” how to win.
Changing my mind about the CW, if these guys can’t get up for Senior day I wonder about CW
Chip Kelly always took his foot off the gas because he knew it was in his self interest not to embarrass his in-state rival for fear the OSU administration might do something radical and can Riley after getting beat 72-0. Taggert, unlike Chip, has had a frustrating year, Herbert too, plus revenge from last year, all points to an epic beat down next week
I used to think that too, but no longer. Total rebuild is in order.
I knew it was over for Hall when, after the Cal game, he started talking about how his job was about “life” and “building men” etc. That’s important work, truly, and organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs, Big Brothers, etc. are vital in that regard, but it’s NOT what coaching football is primarily about.
So much for the team being motivated to keep Hall around. They look like they would rather be at home playing xbox.
I was thinking that…no care at all. Their body language says they don’t want to be there.
I get that impression, too. I think some of these guys are already thinking about next year and don’t want to get hurt prior to transferring somewhere else – certainly not playing with the emotion that I have seen over the last several games. Sheesh – just 3 offensive plays so far – I am so looking forward to a clean slate next year.
Offensive pi.
My alma maters suck at football.
Man this is gonna be UGLY.
This has got to be the worst OSU team in a very long time. Does anyone know how far we have to go back to challenge this team?
We have one win against a WINLESS FCS opponent. We were also PSU’s closest loss.
I feel like people aren’t recognizing how terrible things are for our program right now.
I do. I have great experience watching shitty football.
The games with Nick Mitchell at QB were ugly, but yeah this is pre-Kragthorpe
Joe A quality.
but for the nearly miraculous win over Portland State, OSU came THIS close to having one of the most futile seasons in the history of college football, not merely OSU football. we truly could be looking at a decade or more of what we see now.
Usually feel bad for the seniors on their last day, but since these guys aren’t even trying good riddance.
concur. I almost wished I hadn’t gotten in the stadium in time to see them parade in.
This game is just barely watchable….
if you think it wasn’t watchable on TV, imagine what it was like in the stadium. There was a decent crowd there too, at the beginning, because it was Dads/Family weekend. I saw a personal record, people leaving before the first quarter was over. Previous record was the UW game in 2015 when people started leaving in the middle of the second quarter
This team makes mistake after mistake…..
Our lack of Tartan is really evident today.
Ryan Nall is a prima donna.
Donna, but not a prima one. I
Totally out-coached there on that pooch punt call by ASU
This game was over before it even started. Civil War is going to be ugly…
Thanks Andersen. Worst football hire in OSU history, hands down.
Agreed.
agreed
I retract my initial comment and say that this game is totally unwatchable…
Can you tell which team wants to be here today. Hint they’re not wearing black.
Uh yeah they are. They’re just not the ones wearing metallic grey jerseys.
Shittiest combined defense and offense I think I have ever seen.
Yurcich has had 3 Top 10 offenses while at Oklahoma State and regularly scores 40 and sometimes even close to 50 points. Much more what OSU needs to win.
On a positive note, time to go do something fun. See you guys next week.
Don’t forget WBB at 11 tomorrow and WVB later. Two teams that come to play and show it on the court as well as sideline.
Bonus, Rueck has a pretty good replacement for Mandy on staff.
This is the first time most ASU players have seen fog. I was hoping that would be in our favor.
I’m with you – although my threshold wasn’t reached at 21-0 in the 1st where the TV would have been automatically shut off. Still heading out to Cabelas for some pre-‘black friday’ shopping.
OSU has played in a fog all year
THE ROUT IS ON
Put in the backups. They might actually want to play.
Most of the secondary is backups already.
I think it’s time to see if Moran can play QB
I saw him on the sideline. doesn’t have the look of a P5 qb. skinny as a rail
Can we just surrender & call it a game? This is embarrassing!
I like the way you think
This is some of the worst football I’ve ever seen. I wish I could care less.
Is hudson hurt? Play the paynes. Run with garretson more. Maybe take some deep shots (he has to be due right)? Have to switch something up. Maybe woods should call plays.
S***, I was just .06 seconds off…
We just gave up 236 yds in the 1st qtr
Wow. HORRIBLE. RB runs untouched from 20 yards out for the TD.
Beaver AD better have a solid gameplan for his hire.
Utah State dogcatcher is already locked up !
all eyes are on Barnes now. If he doesn’t make a hire that says in effect, “wow, look who Oregon State hired” then maybe he isn’t the right guy for his job.
Still getting killed on the weakside. Beat by alignment.
Is there really a strong side?
Blindside?
Even Yogi said that this was too ‘painful to watch’!
Here’s hoping T. Graham calls off the dogs. Otherwise………….
of course, Graham DID call off the dogs, but the post game narrative was all about those great half time adjustments by the coaching staff and how OSU kept grinding.
I hope Corey doesn’t leave prior to the CW!
I hope the next coach moves beyond selling early playing time and instead develops talent that can play productively as juniors and seniors.
The part that pisses me off is that Anderson completely ran this program into the ground and just walks away leaving the players and other coaches to deal with this shit. I’m glad that he is gone but he at least could have had the balls to stay until the season was over.
I agree with you. This won’t be popular but I don’t think it would have been this ugly had GA stuck it out.
There goes the train
That’s what she said.
This… this is why you don’t buy the interim hype after a few games playing off the emotion of a coaching change.
OSU vs Long Beach State score?
Hey, Rueck sighting! Can we get his players on the field? They’re tougher and play defense.
These seniors r awful. Put in the young guys. Might as well play moran at this point.
ASU would have broken Moran in two. Garretson, who is a bad QB, at least has the necessary physical stature to play in the Pac 12
There’s a decent chance the team already knows Hall won’t be the HC.
Garretson was fucking pissed after that last series.
I hope he is – I know I am; that was almost his second fumble. What do you think that he is pissed about – the play calling? He is probably a nice enough kid but should most likely have stayed at Utah State.
No idea. That entire series was a rigging fuck.
good call, WFO. at some point during the last few weeks Hall intimated to the team that he wasn’t going to get the permanent job. His candidacy was the last line of defense in keeping the team somewhat accountable. Now, there’s nobody watching from a coaching perspective to keep the team honest, so this is the result. the second half “comebacks” are the result of our opponents knowing the game is in the bag and they don’t have to try very hard anymore
How many times have they messed up that exchange?
the point is, the running backs are not used to the QB keeping the ball on the option because it was never in the playbook when Luton was starting and we know, per Eggers, it was kept out of the playbook after Luton got hurt because the coaching staff wanted to preserve Conor Blount’s red shirt. Talk about misplaced priorities.
What in the fuck is going on. How are we so fucking terrible?
We’re not. We gave up. If Ohio State just stood there they’d be terrible, too.
Good point. Thanks.
Mike Yurcich better get an interview. Beavs have no offense or defense. To be losing 30-0 at home with 5 minutes left in 1st half has to be among worst home performance in OSU history.
before the final beav drive of the first half that resulted in a TD, ASU had a 10-1 advantage in offense yards. 294 to 26
I think Clune is intentionally throwing C. Hall under the bus.
It’s not the coordinator loafing around on the field.
I was wondering that too.
Hall said he’d be more involved with the D this week. Appears this shitfest is what that involvement is producing.
if there’s a week for conspiracy theories this is it.
Villamin with back to back receptions!
How on earth are you still watching that?
you have only to look at the retrogression of Villamin from a freshman to this year to see how profoundly lacking our coaching staff is in terms in player development. There’s really not a player out there who is any better than when he arrived as freshman directly out of high school or jc.
What are the chances Nall grad transfers? 90%?
100% or NFL comes calling.
Zero. He’s not going to get drafted right now and he’s redshirted, so he can’t transfer unless he’s graduating this winter.
He does graduate winter
who cares? he’s another one who has gotten used to losing.
fact that it takes Hall that long to call a TO before half blows my mind….
Anyone still watching?
Yes
Unfortunately.
Nope! I watch the first half and then I’m done. That gives me enough footage of this team to realize Hall is not ready to be anywhere close to a HC job. The two close games were creativity and players hyped up. After watching the game last week and this week, that hype has warn off completely. These coaches are so bad, they can’t even get guys in the right position. Why did they move the center position around with only 2 games left in the season? Ironic how Angry stated we’d have multiple bad snaps a game, but they never came; how many did we have this game with a new center? We need a new coach who knows how to hire good assistants and knows how to work with
them. J Smith does not fit that mold at this time in my book.
Bronco’s players played a really good tough close first half with Miami today. It was fun to watch, disciplined football. The senior QB was at one point 11 for 11 in the first half before throwing a ball away. Competent senior QB play vs DG giving up a safety on a throw away because he couldn’t throw near a receiver and past the LOS. If it is bronco, it wouldn’t be a bad hire IMO. I actually like it better than Tedford.
Tyler’s elbow looked really bad.
Get up field geez.
Down 26 with 1 minute left in the 3rd quarter and on 4th and short from inside the 25 yard line and Hall kicks a FG? Lol.
he wanted to build up the kicker’s self esteem.
Fitting, on senior day, villy non-catch that epitomizes his OSU career.
Oregon media is as big a joke as OSU football
EDIT: His later tweets make it sound like he’ll talk about it on his podcast, so I take my comments back if that’s what he’s planning.
That guy is such a complete tool. I had to stop following him on social media.
Absolutely! I never followed him on social, but forced myself to listen a couple times. The combo of not being very savvy and so often talking about his drinking is a real turn off for me.
I’ve noticed that about Sprague too. Every single show he throws in some reference about his drinking escapades, like the audience is impressed by that sort of thing. He comes off as an adult who never really partied when he was younger, so he has to make up for lost time. We get it, you got hammered over the weekend. Nice work, buddy.
Just like how the media won’t report on some other shit that has went down involving the athletic administration.
What are you referring to?
More of his cryptic bullshit.
LOL, do you think I want a lawsuit? Let the media figure it out and report on it. That is their job.
How are you going to get pulled into a lawsuit? Do you think they’re going to serve papers to some anonymous poaster named BlkOrange?
Saw on a reply to Sprague some random Twitter handle is saying GA was an alcoholic, so maybe there are legs to that, given what some random emailer told Angry earlier in the season.
Maybe Utah and Whittingham are a safe haven for people with drinking problems in the state of oregon?
GA? An alcoholic? Hmmm, seen that nose?
Yeah, those rumors that coaches on the staff were drinking and having affairs with co-eds might be true. I trust that source, tbh. One of the better sources over the years.
Speaking of which, heard no on Bronco. Smith and Baldwin are the two in play. Kind of what I/we figured.
Where the fuck is this guy BlkOrange? I’ve got a subpoena for him!!
haha
The red nose was the first thing I though of too. I notice on Twitter people used to talk about his red nose back when he was at Wisconsin too, but they just blamed it on the cold weather
The dude was baking in the sun with a little visor on. I think that explains the red nose. The nose protrudes from the face. A visor isn’t going to cut it.
Though, he could have been a drunk. Those texts sure looked like the ramblings of a drunk.
He didn’t typically have the red nose during the summer though. It was usually toward november. So maybe it really was a cold weather thing. Otherwise, if alcohol related, you would expect it throughout the year(unless the poor performance of the team made the need to drink worse as the season went on)
His entire face looked so red to me all the time, even Summer. I commented on it, how he looked like a crab, and I was afraid he’d get skin cancer. That was in June or so. He was in the blazing sun every day with a little visor on.
Remember the video of the walk out of the locker room after half at CSU? GA appeared lock-kneed, like he was drunk.
Losers are as losers do.
Email me. Spill the beans.
So the redness in the face was visor related? I knew it – those damn visors!
Disappointing showing today. Beavs fallen out of last two games early.
Now Villamin may be hurt after a decent catch on play before.
Tough matchup for Cal tonight vs Stanford. We’ll see if Bears can keep it close om the road against a Stanford team that still has a real chance at Pac-12 North title. If Tree wins tonight abd UW beats WSU in Apple Cup then Stanford takes the title. Cougs control their destiny.
Penn State 42, Nebraska 10
HALF TIME.
Haha.
Oklahoma State getting destroyed by Kansas State 42-20 end of the 3rd.
Must be because Yurcich is already looking at coaching us… :P
Snyder is 90….,, and he’s a man.
Bill Snyder is the best coach of our era.
Dude is the true “more with less” coach. Gets little credit. Genius. I’m not sure who is in his coaching tree (other than his son), but those might be people to explore.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always had mad respect for what he’s done at Kansas State.
Jim Leavitt….
Brett Bielema…
Mangino…
Unhappy Valley.
2 score game 550 to go beV ball.
I’ll be glad when this senior class is gone.
You’re so anti-Riley that your argument must be dismissed.
Here’s your air raid Gary… 9 games too late
Wow. How fitting.
Is anyone surprised? This team finds a way to lose in WTF fashion everytime. It’s sad.
Did they lose in any way other than the scoreboard?
Super freak indeed
Completely missed the part about the coke dealer doing anything relevant to OSU.
I’d like to remind everyone Crapperpants is still getting paid through the end of the season. That’s a lot of money. Let’s remember that before giving him too much credit for walking away without the later money, leaving the assistant staff holding the bag.
From the looks of it holding their own bag
I guess it is a pretty big bag
A bag of crap.
Yeah.
Let’s sneeze at $12m, because we’re morons.
Please, Mr. Quitter, won’t you please take all our money? We really want that to happen because ewe can’t make up bullshit narratives if you don’t take that money.
Just kidding.
We can make up all sorts of bullshit narratives no matter how much anyone wants to pretend we’re not a bunch of losers who settle for crap because… well… just because.
*seriously? ewe?
Anyone want to opine on Callan vs Parker as PBP broadcaster for FB?
Parker gets a thumbs down imo.
So we paid a search firm 200k for them to narrow it down to Beau Baldwin or Jonathan Smith? What a waste of money.
Also, neither of them will excite me at all.
yep; Barnes could have paid Angry 50K for a Baldwin/Smith recommendation and we’d have a subsidized blog for decade :)
OMG! Radio guy says the beavers are farther along now than when Andersen took over three years ago. Is he on crack?! Unbelievable!
Two quick points:
1. I have no idea how much we are paying the search firm, or if it is even worthwhile, but the $200,000 aspect is overblown. That was the maximum allowed in the deal. According the Kerry Eggers it is not close to that amount.
2. In response to if this team is further along, I have zero clue. Largely due to the fact that this team was so poorly coached, especially up front, that I have no idea what to make of them. Physically, it seems we have better/bigger athletes, but it certainly isn’t translating.
We’re a good QB away from being competitive each game. A healthy D with more seniors would help, too. If we get a QB and the D seasons for a year under a real HC, we will be alright.
The QB is so intertwined with how the D looks…moving the chains and keeping the D off the field is what makes D’s look good. Even NFL D’s mostly suck. D is very difficult. Need the O to make you look good.
Extremely true. It is a QB game and OSU hasn’t had one in a while. DG is a tough kid, but an FCS QB.
Yep, and Luton isn’t a Pac 12 QB from what I see. He actually might be better than Garretson, but neither is good enough to be the guy who makes clutch plays that move the chains and keep the D off the field. That and smart decisions is what QB is all about. 3rd and x is a QBs living. Have to convert those, and it’s why I harp on completion %.
Is EWU’s QB eligible for a grad transfer? I’m wondering if Baldwin would bring him in to QB if he was the HC hire.
OSU hasn’t had a well rounded QB since Canfield, 2010 season
JIm Wilson was making the point Angry does here. a competent QB gets his team’s offense in sync, moving the chains, eating clock, etc and every minute an opponent’s D is on the field is a minute their offense is NOT finding their groove.
Eggers also says OSU coach could make 3+ million. So could care less if the searcb firm bill is a little shy of max and comes in at 180K. Paying Miles 3+ million is understandable but that is nearly twice what you need to pay a Baldwin or Smith.
So be happy about saving 20K or so to the search firm but if we way overpay for guys getting their first Power Five opportunity, then OSU will be spending millions it doesn’t really have to. If Baldwin is the guy it should be a sub 2 million deal. Any coach will need to have enough funds available for talented coordinators which is critical and where OSU has lagged for years.
3+ mil for Smith or Baldwin is insane. Those are 1.6 coaches, on a good day (for them).
In other news, P State taking bike smiley for a ride
Soooo…anyone looking forward to basketball tonight?
Who’s playing?
Beavers against Long Beach State. Should be a fairly easy win, but it’ll be good to see how they bounce back after the loss on Monday.
Wasn’t Wyoming supposed to be an easy win?
Don’t really follow Wyoming basketball, so don’t know. We’ll see how good they end up being as the season goes on.
Easy for Long Beach State?
Why are we so down on the Men’s basketball team? Two games in seems a little bit early to give up, even with the disaster that was last season.
I expected to them be bad this year, and from what I saw they have no PG and know how to lose rather than know how to win.
I’ll watch tonight, I guess.
Wyoming returned 5 of the 6 starting rotation guys from last year. They are pretty seasoned as a group, and mostly upperclassmen. But we still should have beaten them.
Tonight no. Tomorrow yes.
It’s amazing how into women’s basketball we’ve all become. I never watched a game in my life until a few years ago.
Same here. The vibe built by Rueck is impossible to ignore. A real example of a coach building a culture. And, it can be easily argued, starting in much worse shape than currently exists for Beavs FB, so there is hope for sure!
Yep.
It starts with the culture the HC builds. HC mostly delegates after that, at least in football. So assistants are huge in football. Not as much in basketball.
Think how bad WSU was a few years ago. Now they’re favorites to win the North. Things can change fast with the right people in place. OSU has a lot of problems. The AD seems incompetent, in-fighting in the AD in general, and overall we have poor decision makers in key positions.
All that said, a legit QB and a HC who can delegate well, and the situation fixes itself despite the incompetence throughout the AD.
Another nice thing about WBB:
http://www.osubeavers.com/coaches.aspx?rc=908&path=wbball
All we have is WBB and Baseball, the two major sports are shitfests.
New thread up for weekend W/M basketball
Is that Ted Robinson doing the Oregon game? How does he do OSU and then Oregon???
I was amazed that Nall ran so tentative today. Not injured, just not into the game, like all of the Beavs. What an embarisment!!!!!!!!
Would you want to get hurt for these bozo coaches and teammates when you’re going to the NFL?
Might as well get hurt trying to win at OSU since he won’t make any NFL team in 2018 anyway.
You’re nuts.
Maybe, stand by it. Its very unlikely he gets drafted. Guess he could show something as an undrafted guy. I doubt it though.
If you are right and he leaves I guess we will find out. My bet is that when he asks for an evaluation the NFL doesn’t give him good news.
He’s enormous, fast, and has an insane YPC for his career. Many NFL teams interested in him as a FB, some as a RB and even LB.
He’ll for sure get drafted, I’d say 4th round.
Who are these “many NFL teams” you are hearing from about this?
No chance he goes in Round 4.
But as I said, I guess we will find out. He might make it as a FB but he won’t be drafted as a FB, NFL teams rarely draft FBs
Just to be clear, I agree with you that Nall can play in the NFL, I just don’t agree that he will get that chance as a drafted player.
The NFL will view him as a short yardage back who doesn’t have breakaway speed and that guy doesn’t get drafted.
The bad teams will view him that way. I can see Pete Carroll or some other team in PAC country taking him, or New England. Teams that see him or know what they’re doing will grab him. Dude is a freak.
Yeah, they will grab him as an undrafted free agent (maybe a flyer in the 7th round). Smart teams don’t spend 4th round picks on guys that will fall.
I see a 0% chance he goes in round 4. No way.
Friendly wager, he goes 5th round latest.
NFL teams are dumb. They draft Jamarcus Russell and dozens of similar bozos every year. A smart team will grab Nall 5th latest.
Don’t know if he goes to the NFL, but the team, as a whole, should play with some passion. If your number 1 Guy has none, there is something seriously wrong. Never seen in 50 yrs of OSU football such non-“emotion” like today. And, I’ve seen some bad football.
Yeah the effort was an F. They gave up. This is what it looks like when a team is playing for themselves/to avoid injury and give up on the staff.
Is there a “Rueck Model” for picking a new HC for FB? A “Casey Model”?
Both had success as HC in a program at a lower level, both are lifetime NW guys. Both are clear in stating their expectations and core values.
What else?
Both from George Fox. So let’s hire Pat’s brother Chris.
Might not be a bad idea. George Fox produces beasts.
Arizona taking it to the Ducks at Autzen.
I’m not sure about this CW…thought we’d win it before seeing Herbert come back + our awful effort today.
Same on both counts.
The emotion and foolish fouls make me wonder how a Hall led team will respond to a chippy foe.
Being a home game gives the Ducks the edge. We’re both awful.
Arizona taking it to the Ducks?
Ducks now up.
I went to the game today and was one of the few that stayed the whole game. I guess I enjoy to suffer but reading body language the team had hit the tipping point towards quoting prior to the game…. very few of them seemed hyped pregame and that obviously never changed. I saw finger pointing and frustration after plays in fact after one series it looked like our safety and one of the corners were going to fight on the sideline…. I’m afraid the team is lost. I had hope for next week until I compare our effort and body language vs what I am seeing from the ucks on tv…..sad day….. I sure hope our hire is a game changer…. don’t want to live through another 28 years of what we had in the past….
There is a lot of mayhem in the AD.
Barnes is questionable (Pitt fans say he’s horrible; I haven’t been impressed).
So, it’s a modern day low point. Things can change fast, though. We’ll see.
I didn’t see the players give up. It’s more that they don’t have the depth or coaching to compete consistently. Tough to be a player who’s producing on a bad team. If they say nothing to each other, that’s giving up. Getting on a teammate is not giving up.
Bill perhaps I miss read the body language but comparing the way players interacted last year prior and during the civil war last year for an example and the way they acted towards each other today….it was a stark contrast…. today was more like the last year of Riley … there in body not in spirit…. I truly can’t blame the kids they have been decimated with injuries their coach quit on them we as fans haven’t shown up (also with good cause) but if they haven’t given up and if there isn’t in fighting I am miss reading what I saw. I sure hope I am. One more game to build toward something new and something better.
The shit keeps piling on, I thought Portland State was going to at least be a decent FCS team, they are going to go 0-11. They outplayed and outgained the Beavs. The Beavs only win is going to come against a winless FCS. Fuck, I can’t nightmare this shit.
If Barnes was hired because he was in GA’s corner and seemed to bring stability for a long term GA run, why is he now making the next hirte? It seems like a mistake to entrust a GA guy (from Utah again) with this decision.
And the word is GA will give “input” on the hire! Lol.
Hope he isn’t drunk when he does that. Or maybe it’s better he’s drunk. I don’t know which GA is the better one.
Again, the buck stops with Ed Ray. If he allows GA to influence Barnes he should admit he has no interest in athletics.
Ed Ray is crap.
The moment he called himself a “hanging judge” I lost any remaining respect for him.
Yeah… source that shit… now.
didn’t think so
Wait, now you think GA is a drunk when you told me that was “extremely absurd”?
We knew there were drunks on the staff. But yeah, I thought it was absurd it was GA, but turns out it was him.
Source?
again… didn’t think so
That guy should have NO input on his replacement – he should be no where near this team as he has done enough damage! If Barnes is that stupid, maybe we should be looking to replace the AD – a twofer. Who in their right mind would allow the guy who walked out on the job to have any say in who the replacement should be???
Are you saying someone who quits on OSU should never be considered for rehire?
I think I love you.
But I was told that if only I had watched ASU play I’d realize the Beavs would win this one (LOL)!
Fresno St/McM win again. McM with a typical “game manager” type game. They are set to win the MW title. Dude just wins.
Very poor weather conditions, team arrived only 90 minutes before the game because they needed a snowplow escort to the stadium and they win on the road. I know it’s only the MWC, but that is still impressive. I’d take Tedford as HC. Fresno would lay the wood to the Beavers if they were to play next week.
For sure, they would destroy us.
lol
Good for him – he gets to go bowling. I am glad the kid distanced himself from this shitfest and made the most of his remaining eligibility.
Yup.
He did everything for himself, not the team he committed to and left without a contingency for his loss.
Good for him.
We must praise that kind of quitter, not the kind we try to discern from that type of quitter.
You people are just stupid on top of stupid.
The QB who stayed committed to OSU is a liar… a self-important ass who just wants to redshirt for the glory of all that is a walk-on.
Stupid selfish QB!
Must hate on the QB who was adult enough to make a decision about his life months ago, got a promise from the coaches and stuck with that life decision.
I mean… he could have totally just ditched his team, leaving them with only Darrell Garretson and a walk-on dude who was promised a redshirt season… like promises are even something we need to respect.
so dumb
Yeah. He should have stayed until the quitting got good.
When you are wrong you go way out there, I suppose thinking that the more outrageous you are the more folks will shy away from engaging you. Normally I don’t because you’re so full of yourself it’s wasted energy.
You’re simply … a bully!
Gross, Ducks starting to roll.
Surprising they’re containing Tate.
Just checking in, haven’t most of the ucks fouls been emotion vs administrative? While foolish, emotion or effort fouls are more desirable, problem for OSU is that any kind of penalty requires a productive response which often seems out of reach for the Beavs.
I’m really concerned for the CW, hate to feel negative with a week to go.
The odds are we’re going to loss. What is there to be concerned with? We suck, they stink, but they have the better QB now with Herbert back from injury and they’re home, so they win.
You’re right, think I’ll concentrate on improving my acoustic guitar playing instead. That and WBB.
Nice, what guitar are you playing and what style?
Herbert shows just how important QB play is. Oregon is probably down 21 without him.
Got an older Blueridge but mainly play a Taylor GS Mini; trying to learn fingerpicking……blues and folk.
Those Taylor Minis are so nice for the price. I hate Taylors (too bright), but those are awesome. The mahogany calms down the high end.
Are you trying 1, 2, or 3 finger fingerpicking? Anchor or no anchor?
Both will determine ultimate difficulty. Take it slow and alternate the bass.
What is there to be concerned about? I’m sorry, but the Beavs are going to get rolled. It’s a road game and Herbert is back. There’s not a lot of mystery here.
Right, so why be concerned with an outcome you already know. Fear/anxiety comes from uncertainty.
Save our concern for who is going to be the next head coach.
Angry is sounding very wise and Zen tonight. Very unAngry like, the Zen part.
I watched Karate Kid this morning.
Why would the Ducks D be surprising concerning Tate?
That’s tho ONLY thing they can do. Our D today looked like their D last year in the CW.
But some people want to make it all about MM… the quitter.
Make it up. Slurp it down.
Royce Freeman will surpass Simonton next weekend as the all time TD leader in Pac history. Bummer
Never tried not anchoring, using Thumb and two fingers. Been considering focus on steady bass (muted thump w/o alternating). Up till now most of my experience is pattern picking with alt bass.
So Travis picking? That’s a good starting point.
Some blues players (e.g. mance lipscomb) would only play one bass note. Alternating isn’t mandatory. I personally like to learn the hardest method, so alternating all 3 bass strings with 3 fingers playing melody, and then back off from there. So sometimes I’ll just play one bass note and two fingers, but if I need the others it’s all there. I think it’s the way to go. No anchor is harder but better because you can get the 3rd finger involved easier and also do things like fans and other embellishments/articulations easier.
While watching the Beavs just alternate the bass until it’s second nature. Then add melody strings later. That’s the best method.
Maybe I’m being too conservative, but I feel that starting with the hardest method would lead to discouragement. For me.
EDIT: Just saw your added suggestion for practicing while watching Beavs, I will try that. Thanks!
Better to learn it outright than have to re-learn it later after you master the easier method. Read the book “zen guitar” if you feel discouraged. This is a journey. Go slowly.
I’ve been on an acoustic Corey Taylor kick lately. Don’t know if you’ve listened to any Stone Sour or Slipknot but dude is an awesome song writer. Mostly heavy shit but he writes acoustic stuff for both bands.
I’ve been working on Zyzzyx Road, Imperfect and Snuff lately. Nothing particularly technical but I learn the guitar and vocals so there’s more to it. Check em out if you’ve never listened.
Listen to Paul Butterfield.
He knew what was what. If you can’t translate the notes because you’re an axe guy, not a music guy… cool. Just listen and enjoy.
You can head off to anywhere from there.
Were you at the game Jack? Just curious if the first half energy was as low in person as it appeared on TV. They looked #HallOut of energy.
No. I was running truckloads of canned food here and there.
I wanted to go to the hoops game. But my season tickets suck because the football morons who never show up for hoops have all the good seats.
That’s not really true. I enjoy ditching the seatbacks, which are made for midgets, and sitting on the end lines. Sometimes I sit nosebleed, center court. If you’ve been paying attention, you know what I look like.
I had obligations today which kept me from doing much. Such is life.
And if you want to complain about energy, know that drilling life into a team is the only way to drill life into a team.
Maybe I’ll pick up one of those Estaban packages and join in!
New poll up:

Hole tried to rip off the U’s turnover chain and is getting clowned on Twitter lol
What does that even mean?
U of o tried to copy something that u of Miami started doing this year when their defense got a turnover
Marcus McMarion and FSU on pace for the MWC title!!!!
Agree.
Where the ‘F’ is that ignore button!
You really can’t be that stupid.
Can you?

Or are you upset because your loser of a POTUS has admitted to being someone who sexually assaults women… and 16 women confirm exactly what he has admitted?
Your apologistology will be giggled at once you create it. Loser, the Donald will forever be known as a loser… a very weak loser who give up his position before he knows what he’s doing.
Such a moron.
But at least he holds the 18% demo, because they need to be validated.
Because he’s oh so good,
And he’s oh so fine,
And he’s oh so healthy… in thinking Beauner is the best OSU can get.
I’m surprised we don’t have a Malcolm shrine erected next to the Beauner shrine.
RIP, fellow rock dude.
jax!!! You forgot your pills today, double dose tomorrow pretty please
You’re my pill.
Love the BS.
live for something more than shitty rumors

Maybe I should have done funk serenity instead?
I was going to go with Wes… then I was going to go with Oscar.
But you all are weak. You need some pop stuff to validate your existence… obviously.
I highly recommend Oscar Peterson’s “Tracks” as a staple album.
