Craig Robinson May Get Fired

140

Hearing that Bob D has a meeting with him once he returns from the women’s tournament.

And then there’s the scathing piece Eggers wrote, which mildly implies he’s not afraid of ruining any future relationship with CR. While driving through Corvallis mid-week, I heard a lot of talk radio with the same sentiment. The host was saying he had to go because the fans weren’t engaged. That there is nothing worse than a fan base that’s too apathetic to even hate the coach. Obviously I agree, having written about the apathetic football fan base for years.

The buyout is 4 mil. It might be worth paying — attendance will be sub 1k per game next year, donors are bailing, and a new coach would likely boost both. So the 4 mil “loss” might be greater by keeping him around.

Craig Robinson should fly out to Utah and watch some good coaching (since he won’t have a busy March for the 6th straight year)

Pac-12 Tournament

Go Beavs!

Northern Illinois @ Oregon State

Game times:

  • Friday 5:05
  • Saturday 12:35 and 3:00
  • Sunday 1:05

Rotation is as follows:

  • Friday: (RHP Moore 1-1, 0.89) vs. (RHP Anderson 1-1, 3.38)
  • Saturday (game 1): (LHP Fry 2-0, 2.82) vs. (LHP Ruckman 0-3, 6.75)
  • Saturday (game 2): (RHP Schultz 2-1, 1.99) vs. (TBA) 3:
  • Sunday: (LHP Wetzler 1-0, 1.17) vs. (RHP Klonowski 0-0, 4.67)

At 10-3, Beavs are holding their own, but have dropped one slot to #5 in Baseball America due to a few bad loses. Two biggest issues I’ve seen: they need to tighten up the defense ASAP, and Pat Casey needs to figure out his lineup. With  Moore, Fry, Schultz and Wetzler throwing, the odds are good for a 5-0 week.

Go Beavs!
