Its pathetic, wasted opportunity. Autzen packed, Reser empty. Just terrible marketing. USC can run a practice for a spring game, OSU needs to play a game and take advantage of the opportunity to market itself.
I have zero use for football in the spring. People who make it a big deal and some wonderful kind of show of support are just not going to get my vote for being anything but losers. It’s tough enough to find a reason to say many regular season games are compelling enough to attend anymore. Why would anyone pretend a glorified practice is even remotely compelling?
I might feel a little different about something kicking off the fall camp, like some schools do with hoops and Midnight Madness. At least that marks an end to the wait for a season to begin. The spring events are just an end point at which time we just wait some more for real football to occur.
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to go do what I did yesterday.
#21 Dennis Weathersby 1999-2002 (same jersey era as the Fiesta Bowl year, but white)
#19 Narrowed it down to either Sammie Stroughter or Jovan Stevenson. Can’t tell because they tore all the names off of the jerseys and there was no Pac-12 patch and they were both similar body size)
Some people got tim Alexanders jersey, Chad Johnson, TJ Housh….(however it’s spelled)
That part was pretty cool. A lot of people just wanted numbers and didn’t care about the history aspect behind it nor who wore the jersey….
Watched on Pac 12.. Either our line is brutal or Obum is going to be a serious force coming off the edge. He blew up 3 pass plays and would have had 2.5 sacks today. I thought Jarmon looked good as well.
Now four in, bases still full and still nobody out.
Thanks to infield singles, bloop double, IBB, HBP……….Beavs had a little luck and speed on the basepaths to get this far. Top of the lineup making a decent showing here.
Here are my takeaways from the spring showcase(definitely not a game)
1. Del Rio is the future. He got more looks than any of the other QBs. Looks the part.
2. Jarmon could be ready to make an impact this year. Looked good.
3. Running game is still a work in progress. Very dependent on the health of the o-line.
4. Boom looked good in the pass rush. His long arms help him keep the OL from locking him up. Should only see the field in passing situations only. Too light to be in run situations. My guess is that he’ll look good in non-conf but then struggle in conf games.
5. Dline looks good. Athletic and no holes in the middle.
6. Steven Nelson should have a standout year. Whoever the other CB is, is going to see a lot of action.
7. Defense looked good.
Interesting points made by the commentary crew about the state of offenses. They were saying that most offenses in college football are pure progression, meaning the QB just goes through his reads, regardless of the defense. OSU does the pro style, adjusts to the look of the defense.
Wow, get this, the dawgs were all ready to sweep Utah as they were leading 10-1 going to the b4 and utes score 7 in the inning and now lead, 12-11. Now tied at 13-13 in the b7
Fry gives up a two out walk but that’s it for the bears and the Beavs sweep. Fry with the CG one hitter. Can’t be a better lefty tandem in the nation than Wetzler and Fry.
Bulldog!
ask and you shall receive. TY Angry. You da man!
Looks like no TV? Couldn’t find it here in Portland.
They don’t have any TV’s in Portland?
someone thumbed us both down? For asking a question and answering. Whoever did, ever heard the phrase don’t shoot the messenger?
No TV for any of the games this weekend. Radio only
Anyone else think the previous version of “Live Stats” was better?
Score?
3-0 Beavs after 3 full
We need Davis to start hitting again or Conforto will not see anything to hit for the remainder of this year.
update?
Beavs up 3 to 0 going to top of 6
Beavs up 3 – 0 going to top of 7
Davis comes thru with bases loaded double and 3 rbi
Top of 8th Beavs up 6 – 1
7-1 beavs, last of the 8th
Jeff Hendrix belts his first career HR in the top of the 9th. 3 run blast. Beavs lead 10-1 going to the last of the 9th
Final 10-4 Beavs win, BP again weak.
You won’t get a better ending to a basketball game than what just happened with the Blazers.
OT…

Spring ‘game’ is ridiculous. How many wasted opportunities does this program want? Need to play an actual game…
Super boring, glad I didn’t go.

I’m gone fishin’.
Loved the spring game. That was real football!! It reminded me of my great years in Corvallis, even the crowd was the same size. JB
best part about going to corvallis today, I picked up 3 game worn jersey’s for $50!
#8 Aaron Wright [white jersey with pac-10 logo on front with his A. WRIGHT on the back] (the guy who lost his Fiesta Bowl ring, but got it returned to him!!!) http://blog.oregonlive.com/portlandcityhall/2011/04/missing_fiesta_bowl_ring_to_be.html

Lettuce Boy in midseason form. Shanks a FG.

Ummmm, this incantation of the line is brutal? ‘Boom looks in shape if nothing else.
I’m gonna go with brutal due to the performances since Jacquizz’s senior year
Im going with a bad line until proven otherwise. A 7 foot high jumper cant possibly be a formidable a d lineman, can he???
Does Dick Fosbury have any eligibility left?
Coaches had high hopes for him, but he was a flop.
Beavs lead 2-0 after 7 full.
Esposito starting at C today and doing well.
BP blows it again with wild pitch and a hit. 2-2 B9.
Reser is blowing it.
Schultz throws a DP to start a new game; on to the 10th 2-2 tie. Note that Ice is now at C.
Morrison a leadoff single, now to the top of the order.
Big 10th brewing two in and sacks juiced with nobody out.
Now four in, bases still full and still nobody out.
Thanks to infield singles, bloop double, IBB, HBP……….Beavs had a little luck and speed on the basepaths to get this far. Top of the lineup making a decent showing here.
Beavs explode for 4, bases still loaded and nobody out T10, 6-2
Hell in a hand basket comes to mind for Cal this inning.
A BP worse than our own. Last 3 runs, BB, HBP, BB. 8-2.
9-2 going to bottom 10. Series win, go for the sweep Tomorrow.
Seven run lead equals a nail biter finish with our BP.
HaHa. Leadoff triple.
Schultz two K’s with a SACFLY in between to finish the 10th, 9-3 Beavs win.

Conforto homers in the first. Beavs 2-0
Conforto hits one of the foul pole 2-0 good guys!.
Conforto with another RBI in the third and Davis with 2. 5-0.
Wow, get this, the dawgs were all ready to sweep Utah as they were leading 10-1 going to the b4 and utes score 7 in the inning and now lead, 12-11. Now tied at 13-13 in the b7
Utes score 4 b7 to take a 16-13 lead.
Holy cow
It gets crazier. 4 straight singles and a double ties it at 16 and two RISP with nobody out for the dawgs in the 8th
I see the dawgs game is using the better version of GameTracker.
IBB loads the sacks for dawgs now, still nobody out.
Video at http://pac-12.com/videos/university-utah-2
Thanks!!
IBB walks the bases loaded with nobody out. Huskies take an 18-16 lead on bases loaded walk and FC.
Nothing for the Beavs since the 3rd, just a single for Conforto. B6 still 5-0. Fry giving up just one hit and fanning 3.
Beavs load the bases after 2 down but Davis fouls out. End of 7, 5-0.
Bottom 5 for the Beavs 0-17. Fry with a 1 hitter heading to b8.
End of 8, still 5-0. Fry pitch count beginning the eighth inning was 70 per Parker, could get a complete game on less than 110 pitches.
EDIT: Fry at 83 to start the 9th., could finish with less than 100.
Huskies win, 21-17. Teams combined for 42 hits.
Peterson error and two ground outs put a bear on 3b but Fry strands him.
Fry gives up a two out walk but that’s it for the bears and the Beavs sweep. Fry with the CG one hitter. Can’t be a better lefty tandem in the nation than Wetzler and Fry.
