I have watched Tanner Sanders play football, basketball, and baseball since Tanner was 12 (including as a teammate, and opponent, of my kids, from Little League through varsity ball at Crescent Valley). Tanner’s fantasy has always been to play QB for the Beavers, and it looks like Gary Andersen is going to give Tanner another shot (perhaps because Tanner is a potential dual-threat QB who is a decent open-field runner, and therefore a better fit than some of the other QBs on the roster such as Kempt and Del Rio).
Tanner is a talented athlete. However, as I’ve suggested in prior posts, I don’t think Tanner has — or will have — the skills to be a successful PAC-12 QB. I continue to believe that Tanner would be much better as a WR for the Beavs (where I think he has the talent, after another year or two of conditioning and training, to make a real contribution to the program). I’m hoping and expecting that he goes back to WR at some point this Spring or Fall, and finally gives up on the fantasy of playing QB for the Beavers.
I’d be curious to hear what he thinks of the Andersen hire vs Riley. Specifically if he thinks OSU will be more of a challenge in a year or two. Also any insight he has on what happened to Riley and his motivation.
On the QB front, I think Kempt is gone. Maybe Del Rio as well. Vanderveen, McMaryion and Mitchell probably have the athleticism to compete for PT in the new system. Any thoughts on our starter next year?
I still think Del Rio is the QB this year. He’s probably the best passer among them. While not a fit for GA’s offense, I’m guessing they don’t implement the full offense until they get the QB who fits. Everyone knew that the QB this year would not be a runner and I don’t think anyone wants Collins to start so early.
Also GA didn’t have a running QB in the last half of last year. He managed. He’ll have to manage this year and probably next year without a running threat at QB.
GA might be OK without a “running” QB per se, but I think that the QB will be expected to run in some capacity. A guy without great mobility would have to be overwhelmingly good as a pocket passer to win the job. I don’t see Del Rio running away with anything, even if he’s the best pocket passer today.
GA’s line was “Our QB will win with his arms, his legs, and his mind.” Hard to imagine him giving up on one of those elements entirely.
On a positive note, it is much easier for a mobile QB to be effective earlier in their career. Having the ability to scramble effectively gives you a lot of outs. Looking forward to QBs who can win before their Sr year…
I think it’ll be McMaryion or Seth Collins. As McKalk pointed out, GA seems to really want Seth Collins to be the starter. Enrolled him early, the staff talked him up…etc. McMaryion is a pretty good passer on film, but not as good a runner as Collins. Mitchell can run a little but hops/jumps when he throws and looks to have a weak arm. Vanderveen can do a little of everything but is erratic. His experience gives him an intangible. My gut says McMaryion the likely starter and then Collins or Vanderveen as next up. I think Del Rio is out. He has nothing GA looks for.
I tend to agree. It’ll either be McMaryion or Collins. I think Collins is a better runner though. Went back and watched some of McMaryion’s tape. It’s pretty easy to make some of those throws to a wide open receiver. Also made some poor decisions too. I saw at least one that was thrown into triple coverage. That’s an INT in the Pac-12. He was a 3 star guy so obviously he has some skills. However since this will be a complete offensive overhaul, the job is up for grabs.
Him and Bays were both nice prospects — part of that great OL class. Isaac hurt, too. What a disaster that all turned out to be. Hopefully they can salvage Isaac at least.
Andrews and Mitchell are both good players. I always have thought Andrews could be an elite lineman, can’t teach his size. Maybe new staff can help him and salvage Isaac and that class is still solid.
That was a great OL class and had the potential to elevate the team. Luck O the Beav’s, and most of them are gone. Too bad the gum chewer only tried to recruit really good linemen every five years or so.
Anyone else having trouble getting the Lady Beavs on PAC12 net, via internet??
EDIT: Finally got a decent connection, after about a dozen attempts. Good Gals down 7 with 7 minutes left in first half; another slow start. Gonna be hard to go far in the NCAA with slow starts.
At this point, I’m just hoping for a competitive road effort from the Beavs, I’ll accept a loss if it’s a hard fought and close game. Win against Cal would be nice for their NIT prospects though.
having an extra day off between games should help tired legs. Although Cal played last night and will have 2 extra days. Beavs are 2-0 in the Pac-12 on Sunday’s this year. Stanford shoots 3’s just as well as Utah so the Beavs are gonna have to defend and not have any offensive lapses with zero pts for several minutes to have any chance.
first row sports had several pac-12 women’s games on their website this morning – by gametime they have all been pulled. O-live’s open thread is featuring Ken Goe – I was so hoping he had disappeared. Painful to listen to Ron Callan – his play calling seems to be on 15-second delay.
Gals cut trees lead to a single point just before halftime.
Ruth missing a few near layups, Jamie shootin’ 3’s and 2’s.
I expect a more focused second half, gals were a bit tight starting the game. I’ll trust Rueck here.
here’s a live feed for you degenerates that don’t have pac-12 networks. Whiskey tested and approved. It works. Close all X’s and wait for it to load. Ignore anything that says you need an additional plug in and close X’s.
Lady Beavs are going to go down in this one. Wiese is mia.
Question? Are both the men’s and women’s team practicing at Gill anymore, or is all practice at the new practice facility? I wonder if they are doing all the practice at the new facility, does that mean they only time they are shooting at Gill is during a game?
Interesting question and I don’t know. Ray of hope for women’s game: If they meet up with Stanford in the tournament perhaps it will be a better result.
Small sample, but the offense looks much better without Olaf in there. Every look so far as been pretty open. Man, I hate the “Beaver 5 point swing”……Beavs miss an easy layup, other team hits an open three.
I’d like to see charges done away with. The officials routinely screw up blocks and charges. Rather just make it easier for them to actually get calls right
Tinkle needed to call a timeout to set up a play. Then Olaf is way too far off a corner shooter and it results in a good look. Eerily similar to the USC game
Nice to be in the game, but that was a shit last minute. Duvivier miss at the line, Reid unecessary foul, Payton giving up the ball to Sanders and then Olaf going to sleep on defense. I don’t like the similiarites to the USC road game.
Seemed like a great half. A little unfortunate with Sanders travel that could have been huge bucket at the end of the half. The bench playing their best of the year. Damn N’Diayne showing a nice touch. I like what I see, hope they can keep it up.
The end of that first half was straight trash, reminded me of how we ended the half at UCLA. Turn it over, don’t close out on a shooter who is clearly about to shoot, and another Beaver 5 point swing. Plus they didn’t even get the front end of the 1 and 1…ugh.
Beav women was just a disappointing game. Stanford in the first half ran the same play about 8 times…one time I was sitting there at the game and I said “ball screen…pull up” and that’s exactly what happened. Only Hanson knew how to play the screen, which hurt us a lot. 2nd half was a few unfortunate missed threes. Women shot like 6 for 27 from three, with barely decent defense from Tree. I hope they play them again.
Tinkle needs to get the team better at closing the last 2 minutes of first halves. Swings like that take games from 55% odds of winning to sub 30% in very little time and it is correctable but team continues to have these issues on the road. Own up and tell yourself we aten’t letting you score. Schaft allowing that shot was inexcusable.
When Payton plays well the Beavers play well for the most part. He was really good in the first half and the Beavs played well. He’s struggled in the second half and they can’t score.
Probably would have been 3 pt play for OSU if Reid makes the layup. Instead he misses both FTs. Team needs a road shrink. Tinkle good at home but I think Howland would be a superior road coach. Have to value the tough wins more than the ones where it is easier.
A coach doesn’t stop being good when they go on the road. That is complete bs. He’s doing well with what he’s working with. He’s not the one missing free throws and layups and taking bad shots. He puts them in position to succeed and has them play hard. That’s all you can ask for from a coach. The players just aren’t very good as a whole and thus they can’t finish plays
All I know is Oregon always turns it on late in the season and OSU almost always shrinks. Crunch time and we are not our best and usually miss out on the good stuff. Team is about to be out of the NIT which is a fairly decent collapse considering they needed to lose quite a few and drop well below where they were to fall all the way to CBI. Not sure beating Oregon will be enough if we lose our Pac-12 Tourney opener as seems most likely as team is only good at home and neutral court probably isn’t as neutral for them as it should be.
I’m just kidding around. I’m thrilled with both teams. Apparently wrestling is going for a 4th straight Pac title this weekend, too. It would be the first four year run since ASU 1988-1991. I had no idea they were that good (never watched wrestling at any level in my life).
I know this is harsh, but my hope next year is that the team doesn’t even need Schaft. I know he’s not feeling well tonight, but really I’m done with him. Tres Tinkle the job is yours.
Not harsh at all. Olaf would be riding the bench if we had some depth on the team. He just doesn’t bring anything to the floor with him. If he could lurk at the 3 pt. line and make a few shots from there it would be something, but he’s not even doing that any more.
I don’t know about anyone else but this game is fucking infuriating. I’ve been able to handle the “inexperience” or whatever all season, but this is inexcusable. They can’t hit a shot, can’t finish a layup, can’t hit a free throw, and it’s an absolute known fact they will not get a rebound. How does it get this bad? I don’t care if they’re on the road… it shouldn’t change the game this much.
It was probably the worst half of basketball from them this year (USC on the road is close), but it is what it is at this point. Some talent, but limited at many positions. Reinforcements are arriving, I just hope they are as advertised and can make meaningful contributions right away.
31 point swing the other way after 9 pt lead isn’t fine coaching. That much swing very rarely happens to the other 11 teams in conference. This game turned into a total dog.
and how much deeper are the 11 other teams? And when the refs are blatantly calling it one sided and you have 3 of your 7 scholarship players in foul trouble, it kind of takes the team out of the game and play tentative for fear of picking up another foul.
Was it 27 years of losing records for the football team? It would be ironic if it’s 27 for the basketball team to make the NCAA’s. I am uncertain how the seniors and freshmen will mix next year, maybe it’s an NIT year and then in 2016/17 the sophmores with another nice class of freshmen make it happen. Duvivier will be a senior also.
Goe now pissing on the OSU ladies team on oregonlive. Someone want to tell him he should go buy a rope, box of razor blades or a gun and end his life. It’s fucking pathetic that it seems his journalistic talents only consist of giving praise to anything Oregon and shitting on anything Oregon St. Seriously. Kill yourself Goe.
I guess the word is ironic….Goe spends the better part of five years defending the epitome of mediocrity in Mike Riley and now takes a couple of shots at a coach/team that has taken the program to heights unimaginable five years ago.
point me to any piece of journalism penned by Goe that paints Oregon St or Corvallis positively. Every piece he’s ever written has put down the University, community or fan base. You can’t win in Corvallis. Can’t recruit to Corvallis. OSU fans and boosters should be happy with every win they get, blah blah blah. Same shit, different day. The main point of his latest and greatest? You’re Oregon St. You really expected or thought you could beat mighty Stanford? In Corvallis? HA HA HA HA HA. That entire article was a slap in the face. Just like every other piece of shit he’s ever written.
off topic but I just read about the 2nd ducks football player retiring with a year of eligibility left. So I went back and read the first article on O live about defensive lineman Sam Kamp retiring. I won’t link the article but will cut n paste this………..
“When Sam Kamp, an Oregon redshirt junior defensive lineman, tromped onto the field Jan. 12 to play for a national championship against Ohio State, he weighed 292 pounds, just four pounds fewer than his previous season high, the heaviest he’d ever been during his four-year Duck career.
A little more than two weeks later, Kamp left his south Eugene house Tuesday evening for a one-mile run featuring a steady incline toward a hilltop golf course. He weighed 270 pounds. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d run that far at once, he said, his voice catching for air minutes after he’d finished.”
Here’s my question. How in the fuck does a human being drop 22 pounds in 2 weeks without starving themselves or being a complete meth addict?
All I know is Oregon always turns it on late in the season and OSU almost always shrinks. Crunch time and we are not our best and usually miss out on the good stuff. Team is about to be out of the NIT which is a fairly decent collapse considering they needed to lose quite a few and drop well below where they were to fall all the way to CBI. Not sure beating Oregon will be enough if we lose our Pac-12 Tourney opener as seems most likely as team is only good at home and neutral court probably isn’t as neutral for them as it should be.
Just saw this. You’re an IDIOT. How could you possibly take shots at a coach who barely has a 7 man rotation with kids playing nearly all the minutes each night, while still getting a winning season when they weren’t even supposed to win more than a few (if really lucky) p12 games? Unbelievable. Educate yourself.
Exactly — dufii like MorePayton are way off the mark. This coaching staff and team have done VERY well. The basketball team collapses late in the season? The last good coach we had was Ralph Miller. This current team has the complete right to be GETTING TIRED.
And if we dont get into the NIT, its NOT a collapse, as we were never projected to get there.
Well said! With how the team has exceeded expectations, I’ve found myself forgetting that this is happening without a lot of talent. Of course they way it was going for a while I was certainly hoping that they would make the NCAA, now the NIT.
Even if they make nothing it’s been a great ride this season! They’ve played good ball at home and given us fans something to cheer about – a lot more than we expected for sure. AND, the prospects for the future are tremendous!
go beavs
Time for the lady beavs to end Stanford’s reign in the Pac-12
I’ll eat a napkin to that.
Go Beavs!
OT
Spring Football roster now out
http://www.osubeavers.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPSID=750126&DB_LANG=C&SPID=127145&DB_OEM_ID=30800&Q_SEASON=2015
Not too many losses. Glyeb Ewing, a guy I didn’t think much of, is gone. He, Grant Bays and Garrett Weinrich all medically retired.
Gina also lists Zack Robinson as a medical retiree (I didn’t even know we had a Zack Robinson on the team)
He looked decent at safety. We’re pretty loaded at the position but appeared to have decent talent.
Also, 7 QB with Tanner Sanders there now.
Based solely on Sanders (in)ability to pass a basketball in the limited time I’ve seen him play, I’m scared to see what he does with a football.
I’d imagine run around stiffly and then throw it to the other team.
I have watched Tanner Sanders play football, basketball, and baseball since Tanner was 12 (including as a teammate, and opponent, of my kids, from Little League through varsity ball at Crescent Valley). Tanner’s fantasy has always been to play QB for the Beavers, and it looks like Gary Andersen is going to give Tanner another shot (perhaps because Tanner is a potential dual-threat QB who is a decent open-field runner, and therefore a better fit than some of the other QBs on the roster such as Kempt and Del Rio).

I’m hoping and expecting that he goes back to WR at some point this Spring or Fall, and finally gives up on the fantasy of playing QB for the Beavers.
Thanks for the input. Sanders will never play QB for OSU. That much I know. Agree his best position is WR.
Attending a Q&A with Mark Helfrich tonight. If Angry or anybody has some serious questions, I’ll try to get them in.
I’d be curious to hear what he thinks of the Andersen hire vs Riley. Specifically if he thinks OSU will be more of a challenge in a year or two. Also any insight he has on what happened to Riley and his motivation.
He’ll only answer in coach speak so why bother even asking.
To make him uncomfortable
First to notice….
Peko listed on the roster – AND in the OSU directory!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHcC6WbwuUw
No listed FB. Ricky Ortiz listed as TE.
On the QB front, I think Kempt is gone. Maybe Del Rio as well. Vanderveen, McMaryion and Mitchell probably have the athleticism to compete for PT in the new system. Any thoughts on our starter next year?
I still think Del Rio is the QB this year. He’s probably the best passer among them.

Also GA didn’t have a running QB in the last half of last year. He managed. He’ll have to manage this year and probably next year without a running threat at QB.
He also had a great RB and a damn good backup.
GA might be OK without a “running” QB per se, but I think that the QB will be expected to run in some capacity. A guy without great mobility would have to be overwhelmingly good as a pocket passer to win the job. I don’t see Del Rio running away with anything, even if he’s the best pocket passer today.

My gut says McMaryion the likely starter and then Collins or Vanderveen as next up. I think Del Rio is out. He has nothing GA looks for.
If Del Rio knew he wasn’t going to play, he’d have transferred by now.
He probably doesn’t know.
I tend to agree. It’ll either be McMaryion or Collins. I think Collins is a better runner though. Went back and watched some of McMaryion’s tape. It’s pretty easy to make some of those throws to a wide open receiver. Also made some poor decisions too. I saw at least one that was thrown into triple coverage. That’s an INT in the Pac-12. He was a 3 star guy so obviously he has some skills. However since this will be a complete offensive overhaul, the job is up for grabs.
Bummed about Garrett Weinreich . He was looking at playing time before busting up his knee. 3 surgeries later he has to hang it up….
Him and Bays were both nice prospects — part of that great OL class. Isaac hurt, too. What a disaster that all turned out to be. Hopefully they can salvage Isaac at least.
Andrews and Mitchell are both good players. I always have thought Andrews could be an elite lineman, can’t teach his size. Maybe new staff can help him and salvage Isaac and that class is still solid.
That was a great OL class and had the potential to elevate the team. Luck O the Beav’s, and most of them are gone. Too bad the gum chewer only tried to recruit really good linemen every five years or so.
So Bennet-Jackson is no longer with the team? Defensive line is looking pretty bare. Maybe Failauga will stud out…
Don’t worry, Peko to the rescue!
It appears that Peko is still working to pass that never ending, undefined on line course. I guess Riley was right about that one!
Achieving A Passing Grade 101
Anyone else having trouble getting the Lady Beavs on PAC12 net, via internet??
EDIT: Finally got a decent connection, after about a dozen attempts. Good Gals down 7 with 7 minutes left in first half; another slow start. Gonna be hard to go far in the NCAA with slow starts.
I only rely on Ukranian friends for Beaver internet men’s hoops. They don’t do women.
Don’t do women?……….Not that there is anything wrong with that.
At this point, I’m just hoping for a competitive road effort from the Beavs, I’ll accept a loss if it’s a hard fought and close game. Win against Cal would be nice for their NIT prospects though.
having an extra day off between games should help tired legs. Although Cal played last night and will have 2 extra days. Beavs are 2-0 in the Pac-12 on Sunday’s this year. Stanford shoots 3’s just as well as Utah so the Beavs are gonna have to defend and not have any offensive lapses with zero pts for several minutes to have any chance.
I have to say this….Fuck Victor Robbins again.
in the neck. with a pitch fork. sideways
Lady Beavs trail 34-33 at halftime. Stanford came out shooting well and built a 9 pt lead. Weisner has 15 pts for OSU.
first row sports had several pac-12 women’s games on their website this morning – by gametime they have all been pulled. O-live’s open thread is featuring Ken Goe – I was so hoping he had disappeared. Painful to listen to Ron Callan – his play calling seems to be on 15-second delay.

I expect a more focused second half, gals were a bit tight starting the game. I’ll trust Rueck here.
also going to have to defend that pick and roll just above the FT line. That gal for Stanford just killed them with open looks from 15 feet

Good as it is, this team has issues
What would those be?
Losing whenever I tune in
11 minutes left with a great 3 point shooting team. Long way from over.
I’m turning it off then because they’ve bricked every 3 since I turned it on
They aren’t making free throws either
Yeah, this one is over. Stanford was way better today. Beavs brought their C game. Great effort but just all jitters.
They can’t buy a basket, free throw or even catch a break. Too many turnovers too
Game of runs, buddy.
They’re definitely pressing now, though. FTs aren’t even close.
Did the Ukranian feed get the cleavage shot of Mandy?
Please post LOL.
Way too many turnovers
Way too many bricks earlier
Lady Beavs are going to go down in this one. Wiese is mia.
Question? Are both the men’s and women’s team practicing at Gill anymore, or is all practice at the new practice facility? I wonder if they are doing all the practice at the new facility, does that mean they only time they are shooting at Gill is during a game?
Interesting question and I don’t know. Ray of hope for women’s game: If they meet up with Stanford in the tournament perhaps it will be a better result.
Who the hell is J Trinny in the twitter feed?
not sure, but Sitake follows him and he seems to know Thor katoa, so seems legit
Beavs with Beav’s playing like chit man.
Live by the three, die by the three. Oh well. Another chance with Cal on Saturday.
Yep. Not enough trying to go inside and settling for 3’s
imo – beav’s wbb – slow and not a great transition game
Lol at these refs
Disappointing start to this Thursday evening of Beav sports.
Rough.
I don’t think the men will fair much better.
Would ya trade a win by the guys for this?
yes, Ladies can still get it done Saturday
They didn’t use Pure Silk and see what happened!
29 consecutive losses to Stanford. I’m sure the men will now cap a disappointing evening for beaver fans. Luck o the Beavs
Fully expecting the refs to protect Stanford tonight since they are now a bubble tournament team
Don’t the stands look pretty sparse?
Small sample, but the offense looks much better without Olaf in there. Every look so far as been pretty open. Man, I hate the “Beaver 5 point swing”……Beavs miss an easy layup, other team hits an open three.
GPII and Jarmal look ready to go, rest of the team looks shaky at best
Why no Olaf? Sick? Hurt? Benched?
Sick
They said “under the weather”
Goddamit, Gomis went out of bounds because he was fouled. Beavs do not get any breaks on the boards.
Terrible call takes away two points
Should have been an and 1. Another bullshit call goes against the Beavs
Fuck me, why have the circle rule if the fucking refs are too lazy to look at the defenders feet? That wasn’t a travel on Payton either
Stanford has got every single freaking call.
The Beavers have Gomis and N’Diaye and no other big guys left on scholarship
Peko is almost eligible.
I’m whining, but how was Jarmal not fucking fouled on that shot????
The fix is in
Good fucking call my ass!!!! That was absolutely a block on Humphrey. LMW should have been shooting free throws
I’d like to see charges done away with. The officials routinely screw up blocks and charges. Rather just make it easier for them to actually get calls right
This is FUCKING surreal, didn’t everyone see Randle’s hand hit Payton on that 3????
The Beavs have no chance when they get fucked over by the refs
Nobody really came to the ball but Olaf needs to make a much better pass than that
Tanner Sanders is the only Beaver aside from Payton and Duvivier to make a shot tonight
Holy fuck! Finally get to shoot free throws with under 5 min left in the half
Does OSU bus or fly down to Stanford?
Fly
Damn that’s gotta be pricey. I wonder what they do if a player has a fear of flying.
He can go to Iowa State.
It’s like 600 miles from Corvallis to Palo Alto
How much does it cost to fly the football and baseball team around? They must get some type of team/bulk discount?
Olaf looks like he’s going to hurl.
And it looked like the sadistic cameraman wanted to capture the moment.
Looks like Reid just had the funny bone thing, glad to see him back
Olaf has the Ebola.
EbolAids?
Stanford’s team looks like Google dorks. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them come out in the second half on segways wearing Google Glass.
Tinkle needed to call a timeout to set up a play. Then Olaf is way too far off a corner shooter and it results in a good look. Eerily similar to the USC game
Nice to be in the game, but that was a shit last minute. Duvivier miss at the line, Reid unecessary foul, Payton giving up the ball to Sanders and then Olaf going to sleep on defense. I don’t like the similiarites to the USC road game.
Beavs really blew it in the last minute. Duvivier shoot free throws to go up 9.
Seemed like a great half. A little unfortunate with Sanders travel that could have been huge bucket at the end of the half. The bench playing their best of the year. Damn N’Diayne showing a nice touch. I like what I see, hope they can keep it up.
The end of that first half was straight trash, reminded me of how we ended the half at UCLA. Turn it over, don’t close out on a shooter who is clearly about to shoot, and another Beaver 5 point swing. Plus they didn’t even get the front end of the 1 and 1…ugh.
Beav women was just a disappointing game. Stanford in the first half ran the same play about 8 times…one time I was sitting there at the game and I said “ball screen…pull up” and that’s exactly what happened. Only Hanson knew how to play the screen, which hurt us a lot. 2nd half was a few unfortunate missed threes. Women shot like 6 for 27 from three, with barely decent defense from Tree. I hope they play them again.
Overall I liked the half though. Good shooting, good defense, working it around. Just a lame end.
Sydney and Ruth a combined 6 of 23 from the floor, may not say it all, but a lot of the reason for the result.
I couldn’t be a coach. In any sport. I’d be kicked out of every game. Or I’d go off like R Lee Ermey’s character in Saving Silverman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMxqkrgvBes
At least we aren’t Arizona State. Getting straight butt fucked in Salt Lake City. 70-24 Utah with 6 min left. It was 41-9 Utes at halftime
Tinkle needs to get the team better at closing the last 2 minutes of first halves. Swings like that take games from 55% odds of winning to sub 30% in very little time and it is correctable but team continues to have these issues on the road. Own up and tell yourself we aten’t letting you score. Schaft allowing that shot was inexcusable.
Gomis and Reid now with 3 fouls each
Duvivier with 3 now too. At this rate the Beavs will finish the game with all walk ons on the court
Schaft lazy on defending the 3. Pisses me off!
Gomis and Reid now with 4 fouls, Duvivier with 3. I see this getting out of hand with Stanford shooting free throws the rest of the game. Bullshit
Reid has to pull up and shoot a ten footer on that play. Lost art.
Stanford is no more a NCAA tournament team than the Beavs.
Reid with 4th foul. GP2, Duvivier need to take over with a little help from LMW. Odds to win already sub 20%.
The defense looks confused this half. Offensively, the need to be making the extra pass. They are in trouble here.
These refs are bullshit.
100% spot on. Refs took the Beavs out of this game in the 2nd half and turned a close game into a blowout
I wish Payton would do more of what Randle did, I gotta think Payton can get to the basket and elevate, but it just doesn’t seem to be his game.
He’s gun shy on driving, can’t afford to pick up a charge.
No excuses not to be more agressive on offense next year. Plenty of talented back up.
Tinkle needs to get another dam road win. CR beat Arizona on the road. Now and then you got to put it all together away from home.
Unreal. That was an obvious charge.
Game Over. Poor road team. Cal will be same story if we don’t lead by 5+ at halftime.
Damnit, USC redux. You can’t fucking fall apart the last two minutes of a half on the road.
nice try. free throws – Stanford 15/19, OSU 4/9. There’s the difference. Homer officiating
When Payton plays well the Beavers play well for the most part. He was really good in the first half and the Beavs played well. He’s struggled in the second half and they can’t score.
Looks like the Google nerds are also better athletically as well.
The team plays over their heads at home and who they really are comes out on the road, more so when the team has no depth whatsoever.
Reid has missed 2 layups and 2 free throws and that hasn’t helped.
Probably would have been 3 pt play for OSU if Reid makes the layup. Instead he misses both FTs. Team needs a road shrink. Tinkle good at home but I think Howland would be a superior road coach. Have to value the tough wins more than the ones where it is easier.
A coach doesn’t stop being good when they go on the road. That is complete bs. He’s doing well with what he’s working with. He’s not the one missing free throws and layups and taking bad shots. He puts them in position to succeed and has them play hard. That’s all you can ask for from a coach. The players just aren’t very good as a whole and thus they can’t finish plays
or blowing the whistle
All I know is Oregon always turns it on late in the season and OSU almost always shrinks. Crunch time and we are not our best and usually miss out on the good stuff. Team is about to be out of the NIT which is a fairly decent collapse considering they needed to lose quite a few and drop well below where they were to fall all the way to CBI. Not sure beating Oregon will be enough if we lose our Pac-12 Tourney opener as seems most likely as team is only good at home and neutral court probably isn’t as neutral for them as it should be.
And how many years has Altman been coaching at Oregon? You’re giving shit to a 1st year coach with a depleted roster? Seriously?
Are you really taking shots at Tinkle?
Year of the Beaver is in jeopardy.
You have to keep it in persceptive both basketball teams will finish better than anticipated,
I’m just kidding around. I’m thrilled with both teams. Apparently wrestling is going for a 4th straight Pac title this weekend, too. It would be the first four year run since ASU 1988-1991. I had no idea they were that good (never watched wrestling at any level in my life).
I remember OSU wrestling be really good in the 80’s also.
Randy Couture was a wrestling coach at OSU

Too bad this wasn’t like the CBA standings and we would have gotten points for winning the first half.
I know this is harsh, but my hope next year is that the team doesn’t even need Schaft. I know he’s not feeling well tonight, but really I’m done with him. Tres Tinkle the job is yours.
He’s be a fine backup to give 5 minutes or so per night.
Miss his first three pull him out for the game. Makes his first, he gets two more minutes.
Not harsh at all. Olaf would be riding the bench if we had some depth on the team. He just doesn’t bring anything to the floor with him. If he could lurk at the 3 pt. line and make a few shots from there it would be something, but he’s not even doing that any more.
I don’t know about anyone else but this game is fucking infuriating. I’ve been able to handle the “inexperience” or whatever all season, but this is inexcusable. They can’t hit a shot, can’t finish a layup, can’t hit a free throw, and it’s an absolute known fact they will not get a rebound. How does it get this bad? I don’t care if they’re on the road… it shouldn’t change the game this much.
It was probably the worst half of basketball from them this year (USC on the road is close), but it is what it is at this point. Some talent, but limited at many positions. Reinforcements are arriving, I just hope they are as advertised and can make meaningful contributions right away.
31 point swing the other way after 9 pt lead isn’t fine coaching. That much swing very rarely happens to the other 11 teams in conference. This game turned into a total dog.
and how much deeper are the 11 other teams? And when the refs are blatantly calling it one sided and you have 3 of your 7 scholarship players in foul trouble, it kind of takes the team out of the game and play tentative for fear of picking up another foul.
you must have also missed that 83-41 ass raping Utah handed ASU tonight. It was 41-9 at halftime. Herb Sendek must be a shitty coach
Now a 36 point swing. :(
I’m still available.
Matt Wells?
I’ve been telling myself I can only drink on the weekends. This game may change that tonight.
Was it 27 years of losing records for the football team? It would be ironic if it’s 27 for the basketball team to make the NCAA’s. I am uncertain how the seniors and freshmen will mix next year, maybe it’s an NIT year and then in 2016/17 the sophmores with another nice class of freshmen make it happen. Duvivier will be a senior also.
28
Tinkle did not sweat enough. Ultimately, this is what cost us the game.
Goe now pissing on the OSU ladies team on oregonlive. Someone want to tell him he should go buy a rope, box of razor blades or a gun and end his life. It’s fucking pathetic that it seems his journalistic talents only consist of giving praise to anything Oregon and shitting on anything Oregon St. Seriously. Kill yourself Goe.
I guess the word is ironic….Goe spends the better part of five years defending the epitome of mediocrity in Mike Riley and now takes a couple of shots at a coach/team that has taken the program to heights unimaginable five years ago.
He can Goe screw himself
Nothing he said seemed to be insulting. What offended you about what he wrote?
point me to any piece of journalism penned by Goe that paints Oregon St or Corvallis positively. Every piece he’s ever written has put down the University, community or fan base. You can’t win in Corvallis. Can’t recruit to Corvallis. OSU fans and boosters should be happy with every win they get, blah blah blah. Same shit, different day. The main point of his latest and greatest? You’re Oregon St. You really expected or thought you could beat mighty Stanford? In Corvallis? HA HA HA HA HA. That entire article was a slap in the face. Just like every other piece of shit he’s ever written.
off topic but I just read about the 2nd ducks football player retiring with a year of eligibility left. So I went back and read the first article on O live about defensive lineman Sam Kamp retiring. I won’t link the article but will cut n paste this………..
“When Sam Kamp, an Oregon redshirt junior defensive lineman, tromped onto the field Jan. 12 to play for a national championship against Ohio State, he weighed 292 pounds, just four pounds fewer than his previous season high, the heaviest he’d ever been during his four-year Duck career.
A little more than two weeks later, Kamp left his south Eugene house Tuesday evening for a one-mile run featuring a steady incline toward a hilltop golf course. He weighed 270 pounds. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d run that far at once, he said, his voice catching for air minutes after he’d finished.”
Here’s my question. How in the fuck does a human being drop 22 pounds in 2 weeks without starving themselves or being a complete meth addict?
Sauna, enema and starvation

Just saw this. You’re an IDIOT. How could you possibly take shots at a coach who barely has a 7 man rotation with kids playing nearly all the minutes each night, while still getting a winning season when they weren’t even supposed to win more than a few (if really lucky) p12 games? Unbelievable. Educate yourself.
Exactly — dufii like MorePayton are way off the mark. This coaching staff and team have done VERY well. The basketball team collapses late in the season? The last good coach we had was Ralph Miller. This current team has the complete right to be GETTING TIRED.
And if we dont get into the NIT, its NOT a collapse, as we were never projected to get there.
Well said! With how the team has exceeded expectations, I’ve found myself forgetting that this is happening without a lot of talent. Of course they way it was going for a while I was certainly hoping that they would make the NCAA, now the NIT.
Even if they make nothing it’s been a great ride this season! They’ve played good ball at home and given us fans something to cheer about – a lot more than we expected for sure. AND, the prospects for the future are tremendous!
By the way, good morning everybody else. It’s Friday! Go BEAVS!
Don’t steal my line!
Brb gotta eat cereal
I can’t stop crying
Fuck!
