After reading this, it’s become clear to me that anybody down on the “Lady Beav” nickname must be a minnion of Phil Knight and Nike/Oregon. Long live the Lady Beavs!
How did you not come up with the idea that anyone down on that nickname must be an evangelical minister? That’s just as big a stretch as the one you invent.
The article isn’t clear. It says it will take effect July 1. It also says Nike will take over on that date. But it also says the push to make the athletic department “one” unit started three years ago. So is the July 1 date just coincidence?
Lady Beavs is just a stupid name. It’s neither traditional nor official as it is/was in Appalachia. If you’re trying to be funny, then the absurd is one way to go… I guess.
I see some Nike bashing going on, and that’s not humor to me. They are an industry leader in crap and deserve to be told so at every turn. But the crotch humor part of the name is funny in a Meatballs sort of way. Who doesn’t like some crotch humor.
While we’re here… I wanna float a couple TV ideas that I think could work.
How about CSI: Law and Order?
Maybe next season’s Survivor can be the cast of Lost? And, in the end, nobody wins… because there is no end. Yeah… that would be awesome.
I propose that baseball renames itself Game of Throws.
If Fox News bought Ancient Aliens, I think that would be a fun show to watch. Then again, it’s pretty hard to distinguish between the History Channel and Fox News these days.
Spent all day at the Rose Garden, great college atmosphere. All the games, except the UA beat down, were entertaining. Tourney well run…I hope WT had some of the returning players in attendance. It would be a great motivator as to possibilities.
Back tomorrow, expect Arizona and Georgetown to advance.
For those of you in the PDX area, there were and still are lots of seats available. Scalpers all over the entrances, can’t imagine they’re getting face value. JB
Walked down from work for session 2 and we scored seats in the first row of the 200 level for less than half of face value. Happens every time they play games here, as long as the teams aren’t local.
Place started to fill in after half-time of the Utah game, but the 300 level was way less than 50% full. I’m guessing Saturday will be a little different since it’s not a work day, but I highly recommend going if you have the time.
FYI, no alcohol is served on site during the games, so get your fill before going and maybe take a little something in your pocket to freshen up between game 1 and 2. 2 games back to back can be a long event (can’t imagine going to both sessions in 1 day like you PBH)
I like Beavblazer’s idea better. Add a little rum to a $7 Coke. Something about paying $10 for a Bud Light is just wrong. Not to mention the whizz factor. JB
It was a long day..but besides the games there is a circus mentality going on. The people watching was interesting. There are some real freaks out there.
My office is only a few blocks from the Moda Center. I always enjoy the days when the tournament is in town because this area gets flooded with all sorts of people from all over the country. For the most part, the fans are all pretty cool too and the jackasses are few and far between.
Gross indeed.
Years ago, while doing some contract work for Nike, I shorted their stock. From the disorganized way they ran production I was convinced they couldn’t sustain the existing stock price. As I watched the stock continue to rise I kept shaking my head. How could the marketplace not see what I saw.
Finally the entire market crashed and I was able to get out with a slight gain.
I still have no respect for their way of doing business, but they sure can market. Somewhat similar to Tektronix whose technological expertise masked, for a long time, their lax manufacturing methods.
If you look at the Nike chart, it’s getting close to parabolic.
There are so many good shorts lining up. It’s just a matter of timing, as it always is with shorting. I have a list of 30 companies I want to short, but I haven’t pulled the trigger on any yet, because the stock market is still wildly delusional, and our central bank is about to destroy the dollar again (we can’t run this speculative/debt based economy with a 97 USD index).
Just looked at the NCAA Women’s bracket. There’s potential for a championship game featuring the LadyBeavs and the LadyCocks. Although, after watching the first couple minutes of this game, it appears the the SDSU LadyRabbits aren’t going to go down easy.
Lose the lead at the half. I’d say the lady beavs D is pretty bad (too much space, especially in the lane). These Jackrabbits are making some tough shots, and the refs have been atrocious.
The Gill baskets don’t seem to accept layups except from opposing teams. I don’t know if there is a stat but I swear both MBB & WBB have a high % of misses.
If Hamblin was able to get out of her own head after the Pac-12 tournament, I think the team can go Elite 8 or beyond
Go BWBs! (not BBWs… although they are kind of BBWs, just not in “that” sense)

Dammit, I should have trademarked Beavs With Beavs before posting it here! There goes my meal ticket
I didn’t think it possible, but my hate for the swooshmaster grows with every story like this.
Especially strange that the WBB team is the only one allowed to keep the Lady Vol nickname.
Long live LadyBeavs indeed!!
And, congrats to scotty on his date last night. Suggestion: avoid the BWB comments till the 4th date, just my .02.
Sage advice grasshopper.
What do you mean? That’s how I get all the ladies!
(not really)
Huh?

I’m sorry my humor was not up to your standards….
Jack doesn’t laugh.
Was it humor?
I see some Nike bashing going on, and that’s not humor to me. They are an industry leader in crap and deserve to be told so at every turn. But the crotch humor part of the name is funny in a Meatballs sort of way. Who doesn’t like some crotch humor.
That’s so Jack of you.

That’s a terrible meme.
But you followed through and criticized…
…meaning. even though it might have been terrible it WAS on point.
Wait… are you criticizing my criticism?
Are we in serious mode now? Or did my humor just fly over everyone’s head?

And it’s pretty hard to beat this lie.

That lie is getting more twitter play than the library girl got. What kind of morons do this?
That’s a rhetorical question.
All they need to do is call for a gold standard. Then I’ll know this bunch of pre-teen wankers is for real.
My book highly favors the U Conn huskies to win it all: $475 wager to win $100, the field is +325!
Go Beavs!

Still finals around these parts. There should be more members today and tomorrow however since it’s the last day.

I went to the PAC-12 women’s tournament here in Seattle and they served beer. A nice surprise, for sure.
I like Beavblazer’s idea better. Add a little rum to a $7 Coke. Something about paying $10 for a Bud Light is just wrong. Not to mention the whizz factor. JB
I wouldn’t give .10¢ for a bud light.

Agree….
Jackrabbits are a very good mid-major used to being in the NCAA’s. Squad has eight girls from Minnesota. Go Beavs!
I hope wbb isn’t looking past sds – those Viking -descendant athletes are tough.
Wrestling update:
Latham finally drops one 5-2. Has to wait for the wrestlebacks to get another opponent and another chance at being an AA.
Meeks did not come to play today… trades take downs for escapes early… just never defended low… loses 14-5.
Thanks to Jack for the wrestling updates. Hey ol’ buddy…while your’e at it could you please update us on the National Quilting Bee Championship?
Rumor is that Thelma McGee might be losing to Harriet Anderson in the 80+ free stitch division.
Did you guys drop your quilting bee team for baseball too? That would explain why you’re up to date on recruiting for that sport.
Stitching methods, fabric selection, border styles….
So much to talk about! Might be deserving of it’s own thread
Go Old-Lady Beavs!
Harriet’s Nike Pro Combat support stockings may prove decisive.
Remember the year Nike gave the Beavs team stockings with stitching that resembled varicose veins?
Nike stock hit an all time high today of nearly 104/share. Gross.
Gross indeed.

Hopefully you used options. Shorting outright is terrifying.
If you look at the Nike chart, it’s getting close to parabolic.
There are so many good shorts lining up. It’s just a matter of timing, as it always is with shorting. I have a list of 30 companies I want to short, but I haven’t pulled the trigger on any yet, because the stock market is still wildly delusional, and our central bank is about to destroy the dollar again (we can’t run this speculative/debt based economy with a 97 USD index).
Only wrestling I’m interested in is ladies nude mud wrestling. I have no interest in 2 dudes engaged in what amounts to foreplay
NCAA Heavy Petting Champions!
What channel is this game on? Main site says espn2, espn says ESPN3. I find it on neither.
ESPN360 always has screwed up links. I think it’s supposed to be on here but looks like it hasn’t started yet
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2417227/
Thanks, buddy.
Beavs playing horrible (again).
I really don’t see them making it very far (or potentially past this game) with these continual slow starts. This should have been fixed weeks ago.
I don’t know how you fix a slow start in basketball. “Make more shots earlier!”?
Pretty sure they are trying to do that.
Try harder! Haha
I just checked the score after an hour. Looks like they’ve gotten some separation.
Just looked at the NCAA Women’s bracket. There’s potential for a championship game featuring the LadyBeavs and the LadyCocks. Although, after watching the first couple minutes of this game, it appears the the SDSU LadyRabbits aren’t going to go down easy.
http://espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/tournament/bracket
Yeah… the LadyHares are all over the LadyBeavs.
Getting jobbed by the refs as a 3 seed on your home court. Nice.
Told you guys the Jackrabbits have a decent team.
They’re not bad looking, either.
Their cheerleaders all look like they’re about 14
All the wholesome Minnesota babes.
Yep. My lady is one.
I’ve been impressed. They have nice touch around the hole
Heh heh. I’m not even gonna for once
Now they’re rolling.
11-0 run and the Lady Beavs lead 32-28
Lose the lead at the half. I’d say the lady beavs D is pretty bad (too much space, especially in the lane). These Jackrabbits are making some tough shots, and the refs have been atrocious.
South Carolina Lady Cocks? Isn’t that a tranny?
Check out the center for UC Irvine. The guy is fricking huge.
7’6″
Nice fucking foul by Lousville there at the end that was ignored
54-42 Lady Beavs
Anyone else catch that Oklahoma St logo ESPN just flashed before that tv timeout? Dear ESPN, double fuck you. Signed, Oregon fucking St assholes
ESPN is all propaganda so what do you expect.
Yeah I saw it. Wish we could put it where the sun don’t shine..
Ha ha ha! Gabby Hanson does a Duvivier impression on that missed layup
The Gill baskets don’t seem to accept layups except from opposing teams. I don’t know if there is a stat but I swear both MBB & WBB have a high % of misses.
But she looked much better doing it.
Can’t afford those lane violations in tournament play. The ladies need to have control and stay out of the box.
Not a single mention of Mandy? You degenerates are really slipping!
