Go Beavs

Too bad the students arent in town yet. wonder how that section will look? go Beavs. Time for Mannion to start putting his name on the map. I see big things for him this coming year
-
I agree about the students. The Peacock just wasn’t the same tonight.
Oh, and where the hell was the marching band??! I donated extra to them this year because of that tradition and they don’t do it on our biggest game. Bummed.
-
bone says:
The marching band isn’t starting because it is such an early game. There will be a band, just won’t be the entire band and they won’t have a big field show.
-
-
My brother in law has to do matching band, he is pretty stoked he doesn’t have to be in the band tomorrow and can just watch the game normally.
-
Tell him it comes at the cost of a small donation next year. I don’t blame him though.
Coulda used their louder blarring horns for the 1st down arm chop thing though.

Im missing the game because I’ll be walking the aisle tomorrow. hoping the Beavs wrap up a nice wedding gift for me. not sure if I’ll check the score or try to avoid it for the dvr Sunday…
-
Hope all goes well today….Don’t watch “Old School” while your getting prepped, hilarious wedding scene. Best man Vince Vaughn – at the alter no less: “You get one vagina for the rest of your life. Way to think it through Frankie.”
-
Congrats….on big day. DVR delay won’t work (I’ve tried) too many devices with up to date information floating around. JB

Been partying since last night (Thursday) with Beav and badger fans. Kick the fucking ball off already!
If we’re wearing black in the sunny sideline in this heat I’m gonna streak onto the field and personally bitch slap Riley. It’s been dam hot here, think ahead like us fat-ass overweight people do.-
orangejulius says:
i thought part of the point of ‘wear orange’ or ‘wear black’ was to wear the same color as the team that game.

Beavmo says:
Can somebody help a fan abroad? I’m stuck with only an iPod but it has wifi and I would still like to catch the game on radio. Is there any station streaming the game that also has an app?

If Beavs win, game balls to:
Trent Bray – “With violence! Everything with violence!” When did you think you’d ever hear words like that from a Riley staffer? Bray’s coaching the LB’s to play fast and violent, and guys like Doctor and Welch have the speed and potential; if Bray’s made progress with the unit it should be evident today.
Sean Mannion – If he can avoid the picks this could be a big day for him. Beavs speed on outside will be a challenge for the Badgers.
My votes for other contributing players to watch for:
Conner Hamlett – I keep hearing he’s improved, and I’ve always been intrigued by his height and potential, I think today we’ll see some good mid-range catches from him.
Joe Lopez – Another player who’s supposedly improved, reminding coaches of Curtis Coker. I still think this D-line is undersized and understocked, like to see this kid prove me wrong.
Malcolm Agnew – If Storm Woods has jitters or doesn’t run with confidence – I think the lack of a Nicholls State game hurt Woods – I expect Agnew to be a calming influence and contributor on the field.
Questions:
Have Wheaton and/or Cooks learned and perfected James Rodger’s double move? If so, they should be getting open deep this season. The fact that James will be there today may be inspiring to them. Will they block effectively, something James did so well?
Anybody know if Fred Thompson’s family is going to be there today?
Riley is terrible in these kinds of games. Wisconsin is like 33-0 in non-conference games and doesn’t turn the ball over. Maybe its simply time for a different outcome….
Go Beavers!

slamadam says:
damn, you pretty much nailed it with all the guys you mentioned. lopez will probably end up with a scholarship if he can plug the middle and take on blocks the way he did today, hamlett looked like he may be developing into the real deal, and agnew seemed flat out more physical than he did last year. i’ll throw fufita in with lopez as a defensive lineman who has improved a great deal from last year as well.

Beavocalypse says:
Well, It looks like I’m outta luck for watching the game unless I can find a stream. There’s one sad Beaver in Oklahoma today. I miss Oregon.

helmsley says:
I’m sure all you AB supertechies know how to use thefirstrow.eu but in case not . . . Obviously select AmFootball. You’ll get a page – well, you’ll see it. Assuming you want to continue to the football game, ignore all the messages that tell you to download Livid, etc., or tell you you don’t have the plugin. The first minute or so is rough with all the junk, but first row does prevail, you can make it fullscreen.

If anyone needs a stream this website is usually reliable to watch streams of many sports. Watched many football games on that site when they weren’t carried on the tv package.

Please confirm… is today’s game still a go? Don’t want to drive down to Corvallis for nothing…again. JB

i’ve been watching college gameday on espn this morning, about to pick up my dad and head to the game. all the analysts on gameday seem to be thinking upset for the beavers today. surprises me a little bit, i guess it has mostly to do with how ordinary whisky looked last week. the running game’s the key. let’s go get a win.

Bow Down to Washington says:
Getting ready to head out to what is known as “Corn Valley” in Seattle.
Had lunch on the Portland waterfront yesterday as we were passing through. Where were all of the beaver fans wearing their school colors? Will there be anyone at the stadium today or just Badger fans?
Can’t wait to see those beaver players run through that ugly rubber helmet!
At least the weather will be great and maybe I will grab a few brewskies from tailgaters and see who the more hospital fans are, Badger or beavers.
One guy on ESPN referred to this game as the “Rodent Bowl”.
Laughed my ass off! -
-
Anybody know of a good place to look for a stream of the game?
Or have friends in Stillwater that know a good place to drink/eat/make merry with watching OSU
-
No idea if it’s valid.

I feel pretty closely with Angry on today’s game. OSU has a legit opportunity to pull the upset but Riley still needs to prove he can lead his teams to big wins early on National TV. I think the game stays pretty close for most of it and OSU hangs tough, but in the win-loss column where it really matters, Riley comes up a tad short today. Hopefully, he and the team prove me wrong. OSU and the Pac-12 really need a high profile win today that isn’t expected.

Pretty good take on UW’s scheduling.

GreatWhiteHunter says:
Yeah…between them and Utah, we should at least notch a few wins. Stanford looked rough too.

Mud&Sticks says:
STREAM!!!!!!!!!!!
This will probably be killed but as of right now here’s a stream (I think) for the Beav’s game.
http://www.justin.tv/sportzzworld45#/w/3759368624Update: They were talking about the Beavs and during that report the talking head said they were getting ready for the game but I don’t know if that means this stream will carry it.
Fingers crossed.

Weird that there are relatively few comments after beating the #13 team in the land.
I guess if we’d lost, there’d be a lot more bitching and moaning?
Great defense. Great play calling/clock management by Mike Riley. Historic win. Bitchy fanbase? not so much.
-
-
bobby! is that you bobby? Whether or not it’s you, I still think they should fire your ass.

WFO says:
Oh and after you’re done sucking your dicks…Riley was still too timid in the 4th qtr,running the ball to make wisc burn their timeouts but handing the ball over so they could score and keep it close.
Keep your foot on the pedal and go for the kill. Don’t play not to lose. Play to win.
-
-
Do you even read the comments you respond to? When did Riley go for it on fourth down? Was it on our last possession as your response claims it is?

I’m curious to see how Utah state plays at Wisconsin next week and how byu plays at utah.

For the record: fuck the chatroom. I check the blog on my phone during the game and the chatroom is a pain in the dick. Bring it back.

HopefulBeav says:
I’m pretty optimistic after this game for the rest of the season. The only gripe I have is that it looks (I didn’t see the first three quarters) like the Beavs could have put up a lot more points and didn’t finish on a lot of their drives. The North looks pretty vulnerable and I don’t see a single team on the schedule (besides the stupid Ducks of course) that looks like a “no chance” type of game anymore. Let’s go Beavs keep it up!

capitalcause says:
Agree on Chat Room sucking — BRING IT BACK — I’m never going to go on during the game, when I’m there…but I love to go back and rewatch the game along with the game thread…
-
Yeah, it would be pretty cool to have a transcript of the game chat posted afterwards.
-
I agree. I vote for reg forum posts. Angry, tell us what the advantages to chat are?
Those of us at the game can’t do that but like to read and comment after. Let’s discuss.this.
