One of the WORST Beaver football performances EVER, and yet not the worst level of OSU talent ever.
At least Craig Fertig doesn’t feel quite so bad tonight!
Craig Fertig hasn’t felt anything for quite a while now.
I talked to Coach Johnny Majors in an airport a few years ago and when I mentioned that I was attending OSU during the Fertig years he said, “ahh, Craig was a really nice guy, he just didn’t win many football games”.
The last samurai would ask for permission to kill himself after that performance.
Riley should start Brown in the CW and feed him the ball often.
He should tell the O lineman, “I’m putting this game on your shoulders.”
And he should call some damn slants and post routes after Brown is ripping off runs….Ward and Anderson should get touches, passes. Hamlett and Smith should be targeted.
but will he do that? Nope. You’ll see the same shit we’ve all seen the last several weeks and it will end in another beatdown.
If the Beavs start with the ball
Long pass that will be overthrown against tight coverage
One yard run to Ward or Woods
Check down pass that is 4 yards short of the 1st down marker
35 yard punt by Kostol
Ducks take over at their own 45 and score in three plays.
You sir, are a savant.
sprinkle in a few interceptions and I think you’re spot on
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Running the ball before our fourth series? What are you thinking man? That’s just crazy talk.
Could have a Mannion sack in there which in college football counts as a run!
Start Brown? So he can fumble. oops, I mean hand the ball to the defender. Agreed on Ward and Anderson.
I think your risk/reward spectrum is off. Fumbles happen. But an accumulation of zero yards on several runs is worse.
Yards in junk time don’t override that he has two fumbles out of 20 touches. Someone hand cuff him to Quizz for a week.
How many passes did Mannion have? He had three interceptions. A turn over is a turnover. If you are willing to continue to give Mannion a chance after 10 turnovers in three games then you should give Brown a chance. Beggars can’t be choosers.
Then give him more than garbage time when he’s just cold. At least he’s running around and through people instead of closing his eyes and landing on his butt when he runs into a wall. We’ve seen what the other backs can do, and that’s not much. They block? Maybe they can teach our O-line coach to teach the O-line to do the same? They don’t fumble? Does that make you feel better after several three-and-outs because they just can’t do anything else besides block and not fumble?
I wouldn’t mind seeing Brown get carries from the start, but I would mind fumbles capping 50 yard drives. Ward may not be as good a runner, but he’s not dropping it. It’s also hard to compare Brown’s junk minutes to actual game time.
Wait. 27 points in the 4th quarter is a come back. We just ran out of time. Woulda had ’em.
“We didn’t really lose, we just ran out of time.”
Forgot that gem…
Unspeakable shittiness from start to finish. Nothing good to take away. A blowout of epic proportions.
You guys have NO IDEA how much of an asshole my husky neighbor is. I will hear the end of this…. NEVER!!!!
Light his house on fire then he will be forced to move
interesting tweet from a former player

?@_caasss_
judging by my TL, seems like the team is lacking heart and passion. in a way, I’m not surprised at all ????????
https://twitter.com/_caasss_/statuses/404493345063305217
Wasn’t he one of the players suspended before the Alamo Bowl last year?
Castro might have an axe to grind, but it’s an interesting comment nonetheless. I was wondering if it’s a defense vs. offense thing that’s going on in the locker room? Mannion does not strike me as much of a leader, and then you have Cooks with his odd defense of Mannion the last three weeks.
Defense was making some improvements and then just falls off a cliff last night. There’s some weird shit going on with the Beavs. Stanford is a hard ass team and I thought the Beavs acquitted themselves well and then a month later we get this????
Nobody cares they spelled Quizz’s name wrong?
well……..I guess it is kind of a diss to one of the greatest RB’s to ever wear a beaver uniform. So I guess I wouldn’t expect a donation check from him anytime soon
My name is often misspelled as well so I’m sure Quizz isnt event really offended.
His name isn’t exactly a fucking layup..its Jacquizz it’snot like whatever intern in charge of scoreboard production misspelled Joe or Bob.
That’s how my brother,Jaquizz, spells his name. It is the most common spelling.
I think it’s embarrassing and Bush League.
Very OSU
It’s so typical Beaver that I was too depressed to respond. What’s next? They spell Terry Baker “Terri Baker”? or how about Garry ‘the glove” Peyton? Go Beivs!
From Riley’s postgame, “that’s not how we play football around here and that’s not how we’re ever gonna play again”.
Right.
Yup, it will only get worse.
what’s the over/under on how many yards rushing the ducks have in the civil war?
follow up question coach. How do you plan on keeping within 7 touchdowns of the ducks after giving up 530 yards rushing?
Well, coach, then why IN HELL did they play the same way in the 2nd half!?!?!?!
I am AMAZED he had the guts to SAY ANYTHING!
ITS ON YOU, COACH…..you miserable loser…
Well odds are they won’t play that badly again, since it was the most points given up in school history. So he has that on his side.
Knowing OSU’s luck, he’ll beat the Ducks and everyone will forgive this disaster.
sorry angry but that is not going to happen. beavers have quit. you can bet the ducks will come out pissed next weekend. It will not be close
not to mention the fact the OSU D cannot defend the run nor tackle. Mariota should not even need to throw the ball on Friday for the ducks to win in a laugher.
Oh… we might as well get the obligatory Canzano tripe out of the way:
http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/john_canzano/index.ssf/2013/11/canzano_call_off_the_civil_war.html
I love the melodrama about the “BRING ON BAMA” sign. Funny how he fails to mention that the fan who was holding it left at the half, instead making up some weird “joke had gone too far” story.
I thought it was a stupid angle from Canzano, but I guess he’s obligated to pump something out.
quickly. I sense a fundamental slip in both programs that given a few days of reflection and research could have produced a substantial opinion piece from him.
He did take a poor angle. Perhaps it’s just an “Oregon thing” for yesterday?
Well… Congrats to Morten Madsen for winning he South African Open.
At least one Beav is winning something this weekend.
And not that anyone noticed, but the stupid fourth quarter song didn’t play last night.
That’s something to build on.
hip hip hooray
OSU gave up about 0.3 miles of rushing last night….
MR now holds every record at OSU!!! Great job coach.
Can Oregon State offer this guy?
http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlesports/2013/11/18/eastern-washington-high-school-has-400-pound-running-back/
I’m going to go through the recruiting film after the CW.
The star ratings and offer sheets of these guys suggest Riley picked more low hanging fruit.
What choice does he have? Especially after last night’s game.
I’m not surprised. This gives him more time for recruiting (i.e. vacationing) in Hawaii.
How’s this for one fine kick in the soft hanging parts?
You all thought boner was joking about the Advocare Bowl:
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/bowls/predictions?ttag=gen10_on_all_fb_na_txt_0001
… against a triple option team to boot!
During the game my five year old son turned to me and said “dad, are you good at tacking? Maybe you can help the beavers!”
Again, he’s five and even he was disgusted by the defense.
Go get em pops!
Steve Gress isn’t afraid to talk about change:
http://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/football/article_e36b040c-54da-11e3-b8b2-001a4bcf887a.html
That’s his hurried piece after last night’s game. It looks like he’s willing to get a discussion going about making drastic changes. That’s one member of the media.
And now we return you to your regularly scheduled Pollyanna logic:
Can you imagine how bad last night would have been if the best coach Oregon State could ever get wasn’t patrolling the sidelines?
Surprise! You won’t see Lindsay talking about change. She tweets, “Don’t get me wrong, this is very, very bad, but it’s not like OSU loses like this all the time. Saying Riley should be fired after this? Pls”
You can’t make this up!
I’m surprised the Oregonian is putting up with this. Does she assume her tweets are separate from her job as a so-called Oregonian reporter?
On another subject – does anyone know if Ed Ray is taking ANY notice of all this?
She needs to go, too.
Something weird about her other than the obvious. 1. the twitter photo? what’s the point? sunglasses? blonde friend? are we supposed to i.d. the background? 2. she uses the account as an addendum to her job, uses it for personal opinions and lately as an apologist for Riley. That is as unprofessional as it gets. For an example, Stephen Nelson, KEZI, uses twitter reports as just that, reports. 3. I wonder if LS has been befriended by the inner circle and she is quoting what they say.4. I don’t get the impression she knows anything about football, especially when she tries to sound like she does. As an example, someone commenting on Chris Brown and she retorted – to the effect of when was the last time anyone saw him throw a block. I have a distinct feeling she wouldn’t know a block if she saw one – she simply overheard someone say it.
I’d say it’s the old “square peg/round hole” thing. Her human interest stuff is passable, even above average; her football analysis stinks. Too bad that is the main focus of her current job.
And some of the twitter stuff is pure ditz!
Angry, that’s just terrible. He was one of the guys that played with ferocity on every down. Pathetic enough that we play like we did on the day we “honor” him, but then misspell his name?
Embarrassing.
Exactly. It’s just Bush League to honor someone and then misspell their name. That name should be double, triple, then quadruple checked.
With the exception of the extra 20,000 fans and the new stadium additions last night reminded me of my tenure with the Beavs. All that was missing, to add to the misery, was a driving rain. Ah…sweet memories.
My DVR probation program worked to perfection. Did that whole debacle in less than one hour. I started fast forward at the 17-0 mark. I had to stay up late..but at least I wasn’t driving home.
Per my prediction it looks like we’re a lock for the highly sought ADVOCare100 Bowl in Shreveport. Do you think more than a dozen fans might make that trek? Is it possible to decline a bowl bid? I think UCLA did that a few years ago. JB
“O…..S……U…… bites, bites, bites” Wave arms in letter like form…..until embarrassed or bored.
I’m not sure they’ll get any bowl.
Would that shave a year off Riley’s contract, or does he just have to be bowl eligible?
Just read that there are 9 eligible teams but only 7 bowl tie ins. Terrible team on a 5 game losing streak probably won’t get an invite.
There are already 70 bowl-eligible teams with two weeks still to go. Every team that reaches six qualified wins until the end of the season will either fall short or crowd out somebody else. At the moment, I think Central Michigan, FAU, Ohio, and UTSA will fail to make it in, but that could change. (UTSA would likely be picked ahead of a couple of those at-large teams, but is still transitioning to FBS. All other six-win teams must be picked before the Roadrunners can go, without a successful NCAA appeal.)”
Totally Riley’d writing that comment.
That is from this bowl projection: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/11/24/5139644/bowl-projections-2013-predictions.
That’s what I think, unless they win the CW.
Does Riley get that extra year if he qualifies for a bowl but doesn’t get an invite?
I guess it was for bowl appearances. Although this is from 2008.
“The new contract will be at seven years and is structured similarly in that it will add a year for each bowl appearance.”
http://www.kgw.com/sports/college/59645062.html
Every projection I have seen shows OSU in the Independence Bowl vs. an ACC opponent (probably Georgia Tech).

OSU needs to decline a bowl bid – should one arrive. I hope it doesn’t. I will watch the WSU-Husky game with great interest. The Cougs pass most of the time, but Connor Holliday can move around and, unnoticed, there is a ground game in the mix. Enough, at least, to make the opposition wary. I don’t know if they will be able to stop Sankey, however. I also think Leach is smarter than Sarkasian but the Huskies will be out to avenge last year’s loss. Lots of intrigue, here. The Civil War – not so much – actually, not any.
You just can’t decline bowl invitations though. It’s like turning down free sports tickets from someone because the game isn’t compelling enough. The next time that person has freebies and it’s for THE BIG GAME, s/he won’t ask you if you want to go because you rejected the notion the first time.
If you become known for turning down bowl invitations, then when it comes time for bowls to make their bids in future years, you’re frowned upon as that school who turns their noses up at bowls.
I hope your DVR system also eliminates the part where Riley, looking old and frail, talks about coaching for 38 years and how excited he is to come through the tunnel at the beginning of game. Or, worse yet, what is that droning on thing about being proud of Oregon State and its “tradition” and “history.” Good god, other schools have pert young, energetic students, past or present, extolling the virtues of their university.
Bone, I wouldn’t sell yourself too short. Last nights team game up about a third of the points your 94 and 95 teams gave up for the entire seasons. It’s too bad that offensively you couldn’t quite get the dual concept working, but Tim Alexander was almost a prototype.
Email to Bob DeCareLess:
Subject: Will Never Attend Another OSU Game Until Riley is Fired
Just so you know. No heart, no leadership, no passion, stale as 100 year old bread.
Also really, really wish you would resign. We need a complete overhaul at OSU. What we are doing is extremely unhealthy and is only going to get worse. Most fans have checked out on Riley and can’t believe your stupidly long contract to him that actually could reward a season like this and make the buyout worse.
Please both resign and quit making OSU such a laughingstock and bad joke. The players have obviously given up on Riley. Change is desperately needed for Beaver Nation to begin anew. It has worked for many other schools and Orgeron and Wilcox should be interviewed.
Ashamed to be a Beaver with our current ‘leaders’! Horrible what is going on. Please step aside!

How about CC’ing it to Ray?
So in the 120 or so years of OSU ( OSC ) football, including the longest or one of the longest losing streaks. The record for the most points scored against the Beavers didn’t come from Pettibone, Fertig or Kragthorpe. It came in 08 “63” and 13 “69” by the coaches Riley, Banker & Langsdorf who being the winning-est group of coaches in school history who have turned the program around. It probably doesn’t need to be mentioned that they are the longest tenured coaches in school history and they play the longest schedule in history, as well as a longer list of bowl games. But I am sure next year will be different, right Lucy?
Fwiw – I’m too lazy to look it up and verify it but someone on Pure Orange posted the following:
1935 – vs UCLA 0-72
http://www.pure-orange.net/cgi-bin/anyboard.cgi/bscpigskin2?cmd=get&cG=231353731363&zu=323135363936&v=2&gV=0&p=
They lost 20-7 in 1935. http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/oregon_state/1935-1939_yearly_results.php
It’s apologist propaganda.
The media guide has it screwed up. Some of the scores are whacked in what looks like a formatting issue when it’s pasted on the pages for publication, or the original spreadsheet just had errors to begin with. This one happened to slide the 7 over in front of the 20, and nobody caught it.
Here’s the list of most points allowed:
http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/pac10/oregon_state/most_points_allowed.php
Riley et al have the top 3.
Banker is a respected D coordinator, according to telecasters.
Ranker stinking up the joint!
They are also the losing-est coaches in OSU history. Have had way too much time for very little. In a couple of years if we are very lucky we will look back on 14 or 15 wasted years for nothing more than a Sun Bowl win. Only a quickly crumbling base layer remains that the next AD and coach can mortar, straighten and rebuild upon. Change is far overdue at OSU and will allow a far heathier dynamic to sprout. Riley and especially BDC have far overstayed their welcome and we can’t allow this to deteriorate and destroy OSU from within any longer. Arizona, UCLA, Colorado and USC all had excellent results from finding a new coach. Just don’t let BDC pick that coach. BDC must go and a new AD can lead a search that if done right should be exactly what OSU needs. The whole department needs an attitude and culture overhaul and men capable of doing that are definitely out there.
FIRE BDC! FIRE RILEY! START OVER! CHANGE THE CULTURE!
Ducks laid 65 on Ranker with a Rose Bowl at stake. Enough is enough.
