Did Anyone Else Get the “Unite” Donor/Media Guide?

44

One arrived in the mail today. It is impressive.

My question: where did OSU get all the money to make these? These books had to be $5 each, at least, given the quality of paper and inks. I’d guess even more (maybe double that). It basically looks like a fancy book.

Marketing department is usually terrible, but this is a really nice design, presentation, and a clear message.

I’ll probably donate a little more just because they got it right. You can really sense the changes and vision we’ve all asked for finally coming to fruition. If the marketing department can up their game, that will help everyone. This book is really nice. I made a donation when GA was hired (I’m not sure if only donors get these or if they were sent out to everyone).

If you guys didn’t get one and want to see, I will take a picture tomorrow, or maybe someone can upload a photo of theirs. I don’t have the time to do all that right now.

Oregon State @ UCLA

7:00 p.m. on Pac-12

It’ll be interesting to see if they can win a road game after regaining their confidence and playing near their highest level all season. UCLA is 11-3 at home, and the Beavs 2-7 on the road, so track record isn’t in their favor…

Go Beavs!

Thoughts on an AB Podcast?

Curious to hear if you guys think there’s any demand/need for an AB podcast, radio program, or any other type of multimedia.

Fielding any/all ideas on improving the site.

Victor Robbins

I’m curious to hear what people think the penalty should be. This is what I wrote in the basketball thread:

Despite the scoring, he has to be kicked off the team. WT’s first tough decision. Let’s see what he does. As a fan I’d like to see Robbins stick on the team, but I don’t see how you can do that as a coach and not imply there are different rules for different players and/or basketball players are above the law.

I think he has to go. And the positives are the Beavs have already exceed expectations (icing on the cake here on out), are playing well without him, and have a great class coming in, so they won’t need him next year. I think the signing of Noah Toaigi under a football scholarship makes him more dispensable, too. Tinkle basically gets Noah as a walk-on.

Lyle Moevao’s Tweet

171

His tweet reads:

#Polymovement

Followed by a list of the Poly players signed. If I were on the team and of a different ethnicity, I’d feel left out reading that. If a white player wrote #Caucasianmovement it would be a National story. So there’s that double standard. Great teams have to be unified, and I think writing something like this can only have the opposite effect.

I called Moevao out on his wall. What a stupid tweet.
