This could be a rough one.
I don’t see the Beavs being able to stop Booker or Wilson running the ball. The Beavs simply tackle too high and without intensity, though they are carrying some defensive momentum (17 points over 6 quarters is a positive). On the flip side, Utah are a bit overrated — they looked very small and slow vs USC — but they do play with defensive intensity that OSU can’t match. I can see Utah putting up 300 yards on the ground and getting over a handful of sacks if Mitchell is the QB.
The Beavs shot at an upset will be through turnovers and special teams. The mix of Mitchell and Collins is a wildcard, and I don’t know what to expect from that. In the pre-season I thought this was a 50/50 game, but now you have to think Utah by a margin.
35-20, Utah
42-10. This one gets ugly early, and Utah won’t let off the pedal. Catching a great team coming off a loss, is not to our advantage.
Utah fans have had this one circled all year. They love their halloween night blackout games in salt lake and their fans are crazy. I think Beavs lose big. 48-13
But c’mon, Beavs wear orange and black! What could go wrong?!?
Is this a national telecast? Thinking exposure, recruiting….
NallBall will be fun to watch at times, but I think Utah in a blowout, Nall sore on sunday/monday….
Pac-12 Network
Most Utah fans don’t really care that it’s Andersen, and prefer Pease over Sitake.
So, we are often told that a team’s biggest improvement comes between games 1 and 2. Will NM shine vs Utah, since it is his #2? Will he even be given the opportunity?
Pre-season I had this game a tossup, but that is back when I figured the Beavs D was gonna be a very bright spot. Even with the 6 quarter streak mentioned by angry, it will take a big, big step forward to hang with the Utes. Grimble has been invisible and the LB’s not what I expected and now with the DB’s banged up (and Strong’s regression) it feels like a long night comin’.
It’ll take flawless special teams, a breakout by NM, and big contributions by Nall, StHC^2 as a RB, and even a dose of Storm to keep things respectable. Too many areas needing improvement, the line which has Beavs as 20-23 pt dogs doesn’t seem too far off right now.
you’re forgetting Utah is coming off their first loss of the year. They will be pissed and out for blood. Utah wins big
Whit will be pissed he f’d up his USC audition. Spoke to a source who said he would have been hired at USC if he had won on Saturday.
Not doubting the validity of your source but Whittingham doesn’t strike me as a U$C type. He was at odds with the Utah AD last year so there is that. Money talks though
I bet Simple Jack is kicking himself in the ass right now. If he could have convinced BobbyD he was going to try hard this season he would have been in perfect position to replace Cutty Sark at USC. He probably could have won some games with a loaded roster full of kids that already ran a pro set.
Riley ditching OSU for a second time was all Riley’s decision. And if USC really wants him, they can go get him.
Would Hayden be that dumb? Again? Well, he did hire Kiffin and Sark. So there’s your answer
it’s too bad those two failed experiments didn’t last longer lol
Garrett hired Kiffin.
So he’s only 0 for 1 instead of 2. Thanks, my bad
He could probably lose quite a few, too.
Oh yeah the end result would always be the same. I can’t imagine USC would be that stupid or that Nebraska could be that lucky.
Well, who thought Nebraska would be that stupid or we could be that lucky?
Either way, we win.
52-13
You’re a bigger optimistic than I am
Gary Andersen Press Conference Week 9:
https://t.co/O0JPxKXTwU
Ok, we appeal to the United Nations for disaster relief, the US sends in troops and nukes the place. Our plane spots the mushroom cloud and diverts to Denver, where we are bought beers all around by appreciative, sympathetic Colorado fans….
…is that classes as a win, or a scratch…?
Nukes first then troops…I hope.
Beavers win this one…GA is a much better coach than Whitty…Whitty is barely breaking .500 since Utah joined the PAC…don’t understand why this guy gets so much respect.
The USC game wasn’t a lose for utah. It was a complete dismantling in ever facet of the game. It will be interesting to see how they come back. Some teams shake it off others fold, this is utah’s 15 minutes since joining the pac. I’m not saying this is a win, but I think it will be closer than you think. Utah by 17
Meant to put 7 not 17
A lot of that .500 record was with recruits from when they were a Mountain West school. They also had to adjust to playing in a Power 5 conference. It’s cool you’re high on GA, but Whittingham is a very good coach.
Whitty is an overrated coach. GA is one of the best coaches in the country and the Beavs are fortunate to have him.
oh you’re back. Nut butter and Colorado All F’ing day the same person??? I think so. How’s your mom?
I’m an awful human being who desperately needs love and attention.
There’s low, there’s trolling, then there’s WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?
What the fuck, dude?
wow that’s original. Never heard that one before. At least I found a willing woman. What’s your excuse?
His hands fell off?
Jesus dude, it’s just a game. How could you actually type that?
Why is this worthless piece of dog shit still allowed on this site????
I just saw this.
Whiskey, let me know if you want me to ban him. That is fucking awful. I’ll leave the ban up to Whiskey.
Nah. Like I said, nothing original I haven’t heard before. I have thick skin. Besides, we all need someone we can point and laugh at around here
You are tough. I give you that. Go Beavs..Beavs are some of the toughest around..that is why I love them.
Sticks and stones, Whiskey.
That dude just rolled off you like butter.
That post is probably going to shatter the record for negative votes. Congrats nut butter. You won at life
I’m confused. Did your real wife pass away?
yes Jim. Cancer
Sorry to hear that. And just, wow, to the comment.
Angry…. you dont ask anyone about posts like that — you ban the poster immediately.
I don’t believe in censorship, but in this case it was so bad I would if Whiskey wanted it, and he didn’t.
I think the public humiliation and edit have that guy feeling like the loser he is, as evidenced by his attempted apology that fell flat.
typed at 1:39 a.m. Perhaps from a mental institution?
Mental institution? I thought that was my house?
You brought my Mom up..did you not think I would hit back hard?
you hit like a girly man
Yo momma sucks. But it ain’t her fault. She had to put up with you breast feeding for 20 years.
That’s about all the bite you got little Duckie.
You missed something in Life 101 if you don’t see a difference between a generic “yo mama” poke (common on the internet and obviously no one knows squat about your mom) and a “you’re scum, your wife is dead” remark (when you know someone’s wife has actually passed away.)
The equivalent about your mom would be something like if she committed suicide, someone knew that, and told you “you’re such a scumbag, no wonder your mom killed herself.”
Do you see the difference? I’m guessing you don’t, or maybe can’t, but there’s a heads-up because if you don’t get on that, you’re going to run into some major problems down the road with someone offline.
Scotty, you are being too rational.
What we also learned is Beavbutter is apparently the world’s biggest mamma’s boy.
Angry — a point I would like to make is that just leaving such a low class post on this blog, degrades the whole blog. You should delete such posts, even if you dont want to ban the poster.
I did delete it. Well, edited it.
After your shitty Illinois/Nebraska prediction I’d take anymore of your advice with a grain of salt
Now this is better for butter…no need to bring up Moms and dead wives…Ill/Neb was the worst bet and the worst game I’ve been around..you are right about that.
You’re a moron, Duckie.
You took a punch like a man..I commend you..I apologize for attacking your deceased wife and offer my sincere condolences.
Wow… an immature, shallow, and lying turd pretending to be adult, sincere and knowing of what manhood is.
Now I’ve seen everything.
Utah has been the most overrated team this year..Whitty is a whiner…GA is a winner..you will see.
I know these kids have at least one game where they’ll bring their A game. This might be it. OSU 30-27 in OT.
I would rather have the “A” game come against Oregon. It caps off the year giving the team a boost going into the off season, helps recruiting, bragging rights and it makes me happy. Nothing I love more than to see the ducks get beat, and the beavs delivering the beating.
seconded.
I’d rather see an A game, AT LEAST ONE TIME THIS YEAR…dont care who its against….
But I think that might be like wishin for world peace….
Who’s going to the intrasquad scrimmage at 6 on Wednesday? First look at the freshmen and seniors and how they fit together.
They should play the freshman vs the upper classmen. That will show how well the freshman have adapted.
Freshman
C – Rakocevic
PF – Eubanks
SF – Tinkle
SG – Thompson
PG – Bruce
Bench – Muller, Dahlen, Stangel
Upperclassmen
C – Gomis
PF – Reid
SF – Olaf
SG – Duvivier
PG – Payton
Bench – LMW, N’Diaye
Then mix up the starters vs the backups.
The most important thing I would look for from the freshman is how well they play defense. It’s hard to come in a start scoring as a freshman so defense should be the top priority. The team played great defense last year. That needs to continue.
I’m curious to see if they stick primarly with the zone or if they play more man now that they have the athlete’s to do so. I’m not sure what Tinkle’s typicaly D is.
Most coaches like to play man to man. Switch to zone to slow down offenses or to hide deficient defenders. Very rare to find guys like Boeheim who sticks to the zone 100%.
I would say it depends on how the offense goes. The offense was the worst in conference play last year. Using the zone slowed other teams down and kept them in games.
OSU shot .402 from the field last year in conference but they held opponents to .399. Creating a larger margin in those stats would add to the win total. The two leaders last year in FG% difference were Arizona and Utah.
I see no reason why they can’t be just as good on defense this year as they were last year. Any additional scoring should create a few more wins in conference.
I like the way you think. Can’t wait for the season to start. NIT or bust this year. Anything less is a disappointment. Anything more is gravy!
I hope that is true — as good on defense this year. But there are factors at play. They had to be good on D last year, and knew it. This year they are looking at more firepower, and may let up on D. The coaches need to keep them onto that tough D….
While I like seeing the optimism (some people are even predicting wins this upcoming weekend), I think some of you guys have been drinking a tad too much Beaver Juice lately. What have you guys seen that makes you think we can compete with a Ute team that will attack us offensively in much the same way that Michigan and Stanford did, only with a better running back than either of those teams had? (and it is on the road at Utah, no less)
McCaffrey is better than Booker.
They still have to play the game. Too often we’ve seen really really bad teams beat supposedly really really good teams because one team showed up to play, and the other thought they only had to show up.
Look at Ga Tech beating FSU. That game shouldn’t have been close. Ga Tech has obviously been a terrible team from day one (including cupcake games). But they showed up, and FSU did not.
As FSU has been known to do from time to time.
I’ll be at the game, so I’m hoping you guys are right. I just can’t imagine Utah not being focused this week after getting their teeth kicked in by USC. If Utah brings their “A” game, Oregon State does not have the talent to match up.
Oh, I can’t imagine we don’t get beat up and lose. I’m just saying the game still has to be played.
It ain’t over til the fat lady sings. Go Bev’s !!
In case you missed it from the twitter link above, Artavis Pierce’s senior video may make you feel better about where we’re at with recruiting. The kid is going to be good.
https://t.co/FYAePz4vVL
The kid is a beast. I know high school competition might not be the best, but you can tell he has a motor. He has the power running game going and can make people miss.
That kid has good vision. He also has patience. He knows how/when to use his blockers and when to turn on the jets.
That’s exactly what I was thinking on his first half dozen runs. He waits for blocks to happen before revealing his hand.
That must be intuitive. We’ve seen all our backs crash the line before anything goes anywhere too often in the last decade… except for Quizz… who often had to make moves three yards in the backfield to avoid the D.
Upsets do happen but it doesn’t feel like this game is ripe for one. The Utah team resembles the teams that have dominated the Beav’s defense. There aren’t any signs that the Beavs have fixed the issues they had against Michigan or Stanford or WSU.
To win, the offense would have to lead the way. Jump out to a 21 point lead and try to hold on. And somehow stop Booker.
The defense is allowing 197 rushing per game. Not a good stat.
We are going to lose huge.
Negative Nancy don’t be so mean….. lol
I am an objective realist.
which is way better than being a tranny. I mean nut butter
It’s also better than being a realistic objectivist… which is really an oxymoron when you think about it.

This project really deserves an “endowed” professor.
Giggle worthy headline about this on O live.
“OSU will be first in Pac-12 to probe its mascot’s DNA”
I shit you not
I’m sure Whittys not happy after Andersen has been stealing his staff members the last couple years. He’s gonna run up the score if they get the chance.
In reality they are actually quite good friends… I see you having a bright future in tabloids tho
Lenny Dykstra on Colin Cowherd right now. Good stuff
Talking about how he used to blackmail umpires by hiring a private investigator to dig up dirt on them, used steroids during his career, just dropping all sorts nuggets about his career.
He sounds a little off too, possibly drunk.
Sounds like he’s also trying to sell his new book.
So you saying he has a future in politics?
The Ute project-a-score robot says:

Never go full retard.
I’m now convinced you are a Duck fan. A sad one at best. How are the walmart sales?
Ducks are so stupid.
Probably your best work yet… Set the bar here and work up. You can do this Larry.
Just heard that Daniel Gomeis broke his hand and is out 6-8 weeks:/ bummer
Really? When did that happen? I saw Gomis after the football game Saturday. Didn’t have it then.
Luck O Da Beavs!
Per the O, “The injury thins to an already depleted Oregon State frontcourt. Tinkle said senior forward Jarmal Reid is “out another few weeks” with a stress fracture in his right foot and that 7-foot junior center Cheikh N’diaye is still battling a shoulder injury”
Let’s hope Schaft and some of the freshman are ready to play!
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2015/10/oregon_state_basketball_loses.html#incart_river
Luck o’ da Beavs mkII
55-7 Utah. This will be the low point in the season IMO. Utah and their fans will be out for blood because of the whole recruiting battle thing and the perceived jacking of “Respect The Process”.
The Utes will take this 3 plus hours to let out their frustrations from the USC debacle and lather it on thick.
Anyone think we lose a couple of these big recruits, or do you think the coaches explained to them that this year is starting over?
Gonna be interesting to see.. I mean it would seem like the recruits shouldn’t have been expecting a top 25 team. But if they are like me they probably didn’t expect the Beavs to be this bad. AND as much as we try to explain it away a lot of the bad play has been precipitated by poor coaching and scheming.
1. Why do we keep trying to allow Seth to misread 15-20 read option plays per game and not dial up more designed runs??
2. Why weren’t NM or MM allowed to get reps in blowout games?
3. Why was the defense playing basically a 5-2-4 against Arizona?
4. Why didn’t we exploit the same holes Arizona showed they had on the edge with designed stretch run plays?
5. Why when pressed earlier in the season did we not change our route combos or formation to bunch and or other notorious press coverage beaters?
These are things that some big time recruits may notice and pick up on and could sour them on OSU. BUT GA is so smooth with rhetoric that I predict he is able to keep the class in tact.
There were quite a few direct hand offs to Nall against CU. one of the first things I noticed in that game
They even had some pro sets in there.
Yes, but that’s likely a read. And NM probably missed two good ones to keep and run wild to the edge when CU was crashing the inside. On the flip side, Nall actually got the ball.
They have corrected a few of these things.. I saw a lot of bunch formations against CU and we ran almost a dozen slant routes by my take. These are both great against press coverage. This didn’t happen against Michigan Zona or Stanford though.
Immediate playing time has to be the biggest carrot at this point. Coaches seem to be selling recruits on the ‘be part of the turnaround process.’
At least they have high credibility in turnaround processes. GA at Utah State and Baldwin at Colorado State. Could even argue Sitake with Utah transitioning to the Pac and winning 9 last year

Hi Andy!
People FOLLOW recrUiting for the Oregon State Beavers? What a world we live in!
For those of you that like well-organized fan bases, nobody and I mean nobody puts on a show like the fans in Sack Lake City!
It’s an SEC – like atmosphere, and at the end of the day the Oregon State Beavers will need to adjust their game plan accordingly or suffer grave consequences!
WEAK!!
Please re-read these
1. Don’t get reported. There are good trolls and there are bad trolls. You want to be a good troll. Griefing, flaming and generally being an annoying jerk will only get you reported and eventually banned.
2. . Use a VPN. Let’s be realistic, the things YOU do on the Internet? You should probably be using a VPN anyway. VPNs, or virtual private networks, feed your internet traffic through a third or fourth party, letting you appear to be somewhere where you are not.
3. Keep it FRESH and engaging. For example don’t post your opinions but instead support your position with stats that are fake but might sound like they could be real. You should not be a permanent troll. Give yourself character and originality that will make you an accepted feature of the community.
You keep taking one step forward and two steps back Larry. Step your game up.
Oh now that’s funny. Real great. Don’t you get it, pal?
You have the Utah JV coaching staff: the guy we don’t want and the coordinator who’s been holding us back the past few seasons. Good luck with those guys.
JV staff = JV teams (aka LAST PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE)
You guys sure bitched and moaned when they left. Now all of a sudden you didn’t want them anyway? Sure you didnt.by the way, how’s if feel to get out recruited in your own state.
We didn’t want him anyway = Duck mantra
Exactly
Should’ve gone with Booker’s Hookers, man.
So, in the unlikely event that you are an actual Utah fan and not just a troll, do you have any recommendations on where to eat around the area?
Red iguana a def go to in the slc
duck dick probably couldn’t even find Salt Lake City on a map
Can Duck dicks really find anything? Let alone something on a map? Kthxbye
they can find a dirtstar in the dark
They can find the nearest Walmart .
There’s a decent chance that Travis Wilson stays in his funk, and I don’t see any indication that the Utah players or coaches mind the OSU coaches. I think Utah will win, but don’t necessarily expect a blowout. 24-13, Utah.
Well, I can at least hope we eliminate the many mistakes and can play a solid game. At least mature some….
That woud be really nice. If we blunder it up its gonna be an even bigger blowout.
Expect OSU to lose by 21-24 points. Trail by 13-17 at the half then Utah eases up some in 2nd half. I’ll go 41-17 Utah and a 24 point loss. Hip Hip. Hopefully SC and NM both show up to make some plays but this team doesn’t have a winner’s mentality as this point to put together 4 quarters of sound football.
I think we upset somehow…
Upsetting me…why didn’t MMcM get a decent look when he was #2 qb?
Oh, well
Go Beavs!
I dunno I was very high on this kid since he committed
I thought he was joking when he was telling Keondre Dew he was coming to OSU as a package with Dew.
https://twitter.com/gridironarizona/status/659203823546662913
As of yesterday he didn’t have an offer yet. Asked a source if there was anything to that tweet and never heard back. Now he’s a Beav. Happened quickly. Was supposed to travel to Nebraska with Chase Lucas in an official visit too
Was he on the radar for oregon state? I don’t remember seeing his name come up as a possible commit, just a guy with an offer.
I guess I’m wrong on the offer part. Interesting what’s his * rating.
I’m not sure how long ago I started following him, but it has to have been months ago, which means he was at least on their radar but never saw anything to indicate there were serious talks. Have seen rumors that grades have scared some teams away so maybe they were taking it slow to see how fall term went?
how does he have no rating on rivals or 247?
odd
He transferred to Chandler between his junior and senior year, so must just not have been on their radar. Partially why Collins wasnt very well known by recruiting sites too. They must have regional scouts who lose touch when a guy transfers
I have to think this increases the odds of Lucas, too, which were already pretty good.
For sure. Rashed has cancelled his trip to Nebraska with Lucas. Wonder if Lucas has cancelled too? Chance with Lucas were already Really good, so this only helps solidify it.
Also, not to get hopes up, but Harry wants to visit still
I came across this article yesterday.
http://usatodayhss.com/2014/arizona-olb-racks-up-astonishing-10-sacks-in-a-single-game
10 sacks in one game, now that is production!
that is insane.
About as insane as Alex Okafor’s five sacks or whatever it was against Langsdork and Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl?
At this point I don’t even care if they lose. Sure I’ll be ecstatic if the Beavs win. But I mainly want to see them compete. I want to see good offensive play calling by the coaches. I want to see the players execute those plays cleanly and with confidence. I want to see the defense attack the ball carrier with intensity and control. And I want to see the first guy there actually wrap up and tackle. Come to think of it, if they did all that they might actually win :)
I thought he was joking because when he wrote it, I went and looked him up. I got the idea he was going to aTm. He projects as an OLB/DE. Great size, speed and instincts.
Without going into the details, I actually think Beaverkman got the ball rolling on this yesterday. Nice work Kman!

Anyone who doesn’t knock a fucker around that brings up your Mom is no man at all.
you honestly thought your little words would hurt me? You’re less intelligent than I thought. But congrats though internet tough guy
What is he even talking about?
What is up with all the moron trolls these days? Remember the good old days when trolls at least made more sense than Hasselhoff with a cheeseburger?
I mean… it’s like we’re being inundated with neon yellow, feather-wrapped turds… likely with several swooshtikas on their persons.
So Bad. To the point where I even miss bow down to Washington for sense of humor, even though he/she wasn’t even very funny. This new batch is a bunch of no talent ass clowns. Complete wastes of bandwidth.
I know… so much more pathetic than the most pathetic puppy fan. You can’t try to be that pathetic. It has to come naturally.
They’re bored. Mariota Lite. No Natty. Again
Well… they’ve never won. And they never will.
So there’s that.
And they got soooooo close twice. It’s like Riley needing one game for the Rose Bowl and whiffing twice, but on steroids. Truly a beautiful thing :)
At least now I know where Turducken comes from. Here I was thinking pressed meat did not occur naturally.
Finally got a chance to watch the Colorado game… I feel like we shot ourselves in the foot, dropped interceptions, dropped passes, bad calls (not our fault), and penalties cost us… I think Mitchell earned the starting gig… I see why he’s getting the reps in practice, he’s a much better game manager they have and best passer…. Just a side note: Doesn’t it seem like recruits are having way better visits than the Riley years? I don’t remember recruits saying how much they liked their visits under Riley ever. It seems like even with the losses, the coaches are selling the program really well
My sense is that Lucas is a silent commit and that Garcia picks the Beavs over Utah. Weird that Garcia doesn’t have an offer from the Dawgs.
The other kid from Chandler looks like he could be pretty good with about another 25-30 lbs.
Not only would Opie not be selling the program (he wouldn’t have been able to get these kids to visit in the first place) but he’d tell them to take their time and look around. What a db.
He did play defensive back at Alabama.
Why would Georgia offer Garcia?

Beaver Nation: NO!
Tuesday Practice Report:
https://t.co/BRAkHDPWlK
Mizell’s Tuesday Interview:
https://t.co/xbn2Acz32l
Man, so many injuries.
Isn’t Nall the only healthy running back right now? Paul Lucas was a RB in high school, wasn’t he? Could you throw him in there for a few snaps?
Looking at the roster, I see we are blessed with the talents of: Jaylynn Bailey, Marcus Greaves, Wesley Riddell, Shane Wallen and the 5-5 160lb dynamo that is Kieren Yancy. Perhaps a diamond in the rough there? Anybody? Anybody?
Wow, what a week. Flip Saunders passes and now this. I am numb. Flip was a very good player at Minnesota and then an Asst. coach for five years. His beautiful twin daughters were members of the dance line for four years and he sat a few rows in front of us at the basketball games. Very sad situation.
Gophers’ Jerry Kill retires after seizures: ‘Don’t have any more energy’
ESPN? – 2 hours ago
It can always get worse.
They could hire CR to replace Flip, and they could “poach” Riley to replace Kill.
It just did. One of my employees just found out her pregnant daughter’s baby has severe birth defects. Unbelievable.
That is really really horrible. Best wishes to them.
Hopefully not to pry BG, but do you own a business, or are you a manager?
I own my own dental practice; hence all the Cecil the lion jokes directed at me a ways back.
http://m.imgur.com/4CUHP3g
I like that one.
I got nothin. Maybe seek a 2nd opinion? Prayers and best wishes are the best I can do. Awful news. Sorry to hear
Havent read the story yet, but do you think the Saunders news pushed Kill to make his decision mid season? Crappy time in Minny
No. He had two seizures on Tuesday before practice. Remember he’s had a couple serious seizures on the sideline of games as well. And I think he’s recovered from some kind of cancer as well.
Kill has just had a rough time of it while also getting to do what he loves. It just happens that what he loves is also one of the most stressful and potentially detrimental professions when it comes to health.
I think it played a small part, but apparently he had started having seizures again. It explains some of the odd things that have gone on this season. A year with very high expectations has fallen flat, and although we have had an unimaginable amount of injuries, something else seemed to be going on.
I see the multi-sheet puzzle posters that OSU has mailed and put on recruits beds during visits,
Is this to get around NCAA rules about the size of the paper you can give a recruit? twenty 8 x 11 pieces of paper OK, but one 36×20 poster against the rules?
Either way I love it and it’s making impact based on the results
I don’t know of any rules of any kind. But I would figure it’s better than folding one large poster seven times and trying to stuff it into a manila folder for transport. And if the kid takes the time to put it back together when he gets home, you might get an idea of where he’s leaning on an in-home.
OT: Taking a new tone on the Andersen era, Eggers admits, “The coaches know better than everybody what is best for their team. That’s a fact. ”
He quotes GA on the youth movement, “The older guys who are the true tough guys, the true competitors, are embracing that youth. The older guys, if they’re not, they’ll get tossed off the bus at some point, because the kids won’t let that happen. “
http://portlandtribune.com/pt/12-sports/278438-154081-bumps-go-with-rebuild-of-beavers
He lost me when he said Collins “throws as well as Mitchell”…
And Eggers lost me in oldbeav’s comment that coaches always know best. So wrong it’s not funny. Amazing coming from a guy who watched Riley for a decade, too.
Being privy to more information does not make one more judicious.
Mitchel throws better? 9-24 last 0 TD 1 INT…
Get over it. He was asked to throw sideline passes to stop time… when the D knew we had to get out of bounds… which is also why SC wasn’t in the game and we weren’t running Nall… in the final series. The second to last series was a little confusing.
He also had four drops (legit drops… not low and behind… in stride and long play potential) which led to multiple attempts that were unnecessary in terms of down and distance. For instance, Bolden catches the post, and it’s not 3rd and long in our own territory after the obligatory and safe run call. Guyton catches the slant on 2nd and long, and it’s not the same situation.
He throws a better ball and manages the game better. He obviously couldn’t make some throws he’s never faced before. But reps are what get you there. What he didn’t do is look at one receiver and force the stupid throw… or just run instead.
I liked the mix of the two, especially with both on the field. It was at least fun to watch. I hope to see more of that if this is to be a lost season.
Rashed went from a unrated player to a 3* overnight on Rivals
The Beaver bump?
Hahahaha Its a thing now!. Don’t Google that at work tho.
I just saw that, and not only that, but he received a 5.7 rating, which makes him the 3rd highest rated prospect in this class now. Not bad for a guy who was 0 stars yesterday.
Ummm, is “bump” a noun or verb?
yes
Almost forgot last week’s picks. Outcast wins the week with his second set of picks. It would have been 5-0, but I can’t allow the Temple pick since it was well after that game started. These are the records with PICK(+/- W/L) differentials.

That sucked because I didn’t want to make a pick on OSU/CO!
Tlingit was the only one to get all the others correct (officially).
Hip hop hooray!
You just earned yourself a Double Double
Time stamp on my post said 12:41 PM on October 22nd. Unless that was a really early kickoff for a Thursday game, I’m relatively certain I posted my picks before any of the games.
You’re correct. Count yourself a perfect 5-0.
It was rsteve who threw in a second batch of picks late… post under yours. I think he was going for the negative exposure, which would have given him a worser record for the week.
Hey, that was a joke, just reversing my previous picks, but dq me if you feel that’s right. I wont do it again, lol.
I didn’t bother because I thought that was the intent… it was precisely opposite of what you picked previously. And it was worse (2-3) than what you originally picked.
I just cut-n-pasted everything. Because you had a second post, I cut it and pasted it up the page with the other. But the timestamp remained below with Outcast’s post.
No biggie. It was my admin bad.

Losing Pool > picking the Ducks to win.
Meh, I’d pick them in a game I thought they would win. They’ve shown nothing in the past month to suggest that they are capable of going into Tempe and beating ASU. Despite the narrative they are trying to spin in Eugene that Adams getting healthy and beating UW is the start of turning their season around, they struggled to beat an offensively-challenged Husky team. ASU has disappointed this season, but they are a better team than Oregon is right now.
If I was playing for money, I’d go with asu. Since no one picked them I figured what the hell. Oregon won’t win that game, ASU will beat themselves.

Nall is awesome.
Collins sucks. Brutal interview.
Collins is an asshole.
Since this is the internet, will someone summarize an interview I don’t want to watch?
Glad he’s an asshole, we don’t need some kiss ass puss bag taking snaps.
Ever been on a team where the guy in the leadership role is an a-hole? (and online sports teams don’t count)
Yeah, most major corporations :p
You win.
Ya I played lacrosse in college/professionally lots of assholes, where did you play?
I think you want to retype that sentence. As it stands, it sounds like you did interesting things to assholes… for money.
Sounds like it was in the Bay Area. Good catch Jack.
Cool story, what sports did you play past middle school again?
Why the diss on being gay? Who cares if I am?
Why the Bay Area? Since what you refer to happens in aggregate means in “abstinence only” communities because jizz in the butt doesn’t count as sex according to Jesus… like Jesus even fucking cares… what the fuck are you trying to say?
I feel like you think taking it in the rear is exclusive of some dream of yours. I don’t get it, because that doesn’t turn me on, let alone get me to comment on it. But if you need to do so, then I know what the politico hacks mean when they speak of hedonism.
Wow… that old cut-n-paste needs to be revised. That’s so old.
Sure is. So unlikable and a total moper.
That’s just like your opinion, man.
Abide….
Fwiw… the dude understands.
Since Utah is going to wear our colors, and since we’re likely going to get rocked anyway, should we just compliment the scene and wear all orange?
The Oregon State Great Pumpkins!
White helmet… orange tops… black pants… orange shoes and socks….

Coaches Hot Seat dropping more truth bombs on the quacks:
“‘Assume for a moment in Chip Kelly’s last season that Mark Helfrich or his agent had made it known they were interested in then Oregon OC Mark getting a head coaching job on the FBS level away from Eugene would have ANY FBS program have hired Mark Helfrich?’
The obvious answer to the above question is “NO” but then Oregon football hasn’t been for years in the past or is now about Oregon hiring the best available football coach but rather finding a coach that can be approved by the very tiny Politburo that runs things in Eugene which gets its ass-kissed on any and everything and any academic-type that was interested in doing a study on what it’s like to work in a Major College Athletic Program where people spend most of their waking hours kissing the ass of one man then head to Eugene, Oregon…”
The scary thing is they’ve shown they can go out and get good coaches in basketball, baseball, and football when they need to. Once Marky Mark is gone, they’ll have their pick.
Lane Kiffin would be awesome in Eugene.
Altman was not their first choice. They swung for the fence with Izzo and Billy Donovan first. We all got a good hearty laugh over that. Whoreton is overrated and rode the coat tails of what Augie Garrido built before bolting for Austin. CK was an FCS unknown that fell in their lap. They can get good coaches there. But not great ones that can name their price. Those types of coaches don’t want to live in Eugene
Baldwin: “Best practice since we’ve been here:”

Let’s hope it actually translates into a better performance in the game Saturday against the Utah D.
That must mean Collins completed a pass?
Or he didn’t cry to his mommy.
I’m not jumping on this Collin’s is an “asshole” train. You don’t know him, you are a fan basing your views off of a couple interviews and inside “sources” with interviewers. We don’t know his personal life or rather anything about him. Making the assumption he is an asshole is a stretch, same with the statements claiming he’s a crybaby. Crybaby or just emotionally driven? It’ll do you all a flavor to understand not everyone is going to be Mr. Nice-Upstanding-Gentleman. You are judging a book by it’s cover, plain and simple. Kid is 18 give the fucker a break, most people are this way at that age. You are a fan, nothing more. You hold no significance besides yourself being the “asshole” calling a student-athlete rude names behind their backs. You are the same type of people writing death threats to student-athletes who make fatal errors in games.
/endrant
You are so fucking full of shit! Some of us here were calling out Michigan fan after they were issuing death threats to their punter for his end of game fuck up against MSU. Calling someone an asshole compared to issuing death threats isn’t even close to being in the same book. Your rant sucks, is completely off base and has no merit whatsoever. Get over yourself
No, you get over yourself. You keep talking about Collin’s asshole.
Lane, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not common for a D1 quarterback to consistently act like he does. Maybe some pouting in week one or two is more common, but it comes across like an attitude problem by the end of October. A lot of people in here are connecting sideline behavior, interviews, what he says/doesn’t say, and how he responds to coaching decisions and also how he responds when the team is sucking. Maybe you’re related to Collins or one of his buddies. I don’t know. I’m wondering if you’ve played team sports.
sack tickle with his ass spelunking friends doesn’t count as a team sport
No, you get over yourself.
Yeah!
Yes calling someone a crybaby=wanting them dead. Nice mental gymnastics, dick head.
Let me get you a tissue, asshole.
No thanks. You might need that tissue to plug your bleeding pussy later. I’m sure you and the rest of your SJW friends can give each other reach arounds while hashtaging on twitter about how words hurt your feelings.
Hello?
It’s hashtagging.
#Idontcare
So what?
It’s still funny.
Better not call him a dickhead or you’ll get arrested for death threats!
I didn’t know Hitler, either, but he was an asshole.
Derp.
I’m waiting for Lane/beavbutter to come back and tell you, you’re ignorant. And Hitler was only give people free showers, so we should “give the fucker a break”
Godwin says, “Harumph!”
But…it’s the law
I missed this. That was good.
Comparing Collins to Hitler. Good one. Hitler.. what.. killed 6 million Jews and others? And Collins simply doesn’t interview to your liking or you don’t like his personality (P.S. you will not always like others just like others won’t like you).
Comparing someone who calls someone else a name to someone who makes a death threat is the same thing… in your logic… since your straw man is weird.
Lose the loser handle. I just giggle every time I read it. It’s like you’re a drunk frat boy who only knows how to post because you’re a legacy. You get zero respect, zero love and mucho guffawing at anything you post with that handle.
“Comparing Collins to Hitler. Good one”
Yeah. Kinda like comparing someone who calls another an asshole to someone who says you should die in a fucking fire after shanking a punt.
It’s called a euphemism. Not something I’d expect your dumbass to understand. Get back on the short bus where you belong. Just stop
Notice I said same “type” of people. As in the overly enthusiastic sports fan that takes it too far. Comprehensive reading skills would help you understand direct comparison with broad, exaggeration.
All objections still apply. You took it over the edge. You get to deal with over-the-edge. Your idea, your clean-up.
Show the comparisons I made.
I named two assholes that I don’t know. There are a lot more, probably many who did less than Collins. Pointing out assholes /= “comparing them”
Weren’t you lecturing someone about lecturing someone about something nobody could prove otherwise?
Because… you know… otherwise is not “objective.”
DUH DUH DUH (danger music commonly known as DUH DUH DUH).
Calling Collins an asshole. Check. Pointing out that Hitler was an asshole. Check.
You may not be comparing them person vs. person, but you are saying they are both assholes which is the common denominator. Saying they are both assholes is a similarity which is the definition of comparing. Comparing = pointing out similarities.
Are you trying to dismiss your own absurdity because of someone else’s absurdity, which is intentionally so in order to show how absurd your argument is?
similarity which is the definition of comparing. Comparing = pointing out similarities.
Hah. No.
That’s the definition of similarity. You just tried a circular argument.
Comparing is pointing out similarity or differences. Obviously Hitler and Collins have many more differences than similarities. I didn’t get into these because they’re obvious and not the point. Their one glaring similarity is they are/were both assholes. The bigger point was that you don’t have to know someone personally to know they are an asshole.
Before trying to argue maybe next time take a minute to comprehend what’s being said.
To compare / comparing : to describe/describing something as similar to something else
You saying Collins is an asshole and Hitler is/was an asshole compares similarities, otherwise you wouldn’t have brought up Hitler (or any other person) in the first place.
“The bigger point was that you don’t have to know someone personally to know they are an asshole.”
You write that as fact. What constitutes an asshole, Angry? Is there a definition? No of course not, that’s all completely subjective.
Right, they are both assholes. Ends there. What is so hard?
And of course it’s opinion. That should go without saying.
You saying Collins is an asshole and Hitler is/was an asshole compares similarities, otherwise you wouldn’t have brought up Hitler (or any other person) in the first place.
So you think I was saying Collins killed millions of Jews rather than both were assholes (who I don’t know)? Which was my obvious point.
I’m not seeing your point. I say I don’t know Hitler yet know he is an asshole; you say I am comparing Collins to Hitler; I say no I am just saying they are both assholes I don’t know; you come back and say I’m “comparing” similarities after I tell you I’m pointing out two assholes I don’t know, and you use the definition of a similarity to prove this; then I point that out as circular, and you come back with an incomplete definition of a “comparison” and a moving the goalpost fallacy of “it’s opinion” and subjective and that I say or suggest it was fact [when it was you who interpreted it as fact].
Congrats, now I think you’re an asshole.
Okay, you’ve made your points clear enough.. anyone who disagrees with you or opposes your views is an asshole. Still trying to figure out what your definition of an asshole his? General personality? Actions? One action? Explain.
Hitler was regarded as a nice and pleasant person to be around (those that were close to him or got to be close to him) and his people loved him. So what constitutes him as a whole lies solely on political actions.
Now, you declare that I am an asshole simply because I disagree with your public execution of Collins? Surely, I didn’t kill 6 million Jews. You don’t know if I am an “asshole” based solely off our brief exchange. You know nothing about my personality as a whole or the actions I’ve taken in my life. You are using anecdotal evidence here, bud. The same as you declare Collins as an asshole based off limited exposure you’ve seen or heard on media. You are generalizing people and categorizing based off limited exposure. So what constitutes an asshole? Action(s)? Just action(s) you don’t agree with? Personality? A personality you don’t agree with?
I think you’re an asshole for carrying on with this when the main point was obvious and everything should have gone without saying.
Heh heh…
wow
This is good stuff.
While I don’t personally like directing personal insults at the SAs, there’s a BIG difference between saying someone’s an asshole from an interview, and making death threats.
More people here have no sense of magnitude these days (like our buttery troll)… Kind of concerning.
retards gonna retard
Seth may or may not be an asshole. But if you watch that Periscope interview you can’t argue that he has a poor attitude. And if you know anything about people you know most of us don’t really like being around people with that kind of attitude, that includes teammates. If a guy like that is in a leadership position on a team you aren’t going find many people that will follow him or bust their ass for him. So he may not be an asshole but he is also not a leader. So defend him all you want, but I’m not going to give a guy like that my support. Now, compare Seth to the Nall interview. Night vs Day! That’s the kind of guy you want leading your team.
I think we have more than enough proof – he’s an a-hole. His demeanor, body language – he’s a bust IMO. The scribes are even questioning his leadership now… The photo of the team singing the OSU fight song and he’s standing all by his lonesome. I think he transfers.
if that’s the case it isn’t going to be better somewhere else. It’s called time to grow up
He’s clearly not happy with the current situation. I think his ego is going to keep him from doing what he needs to be a D1 QB. He might transfer but Whiskey is right, he’ll have the same problem anywhere else, unless he goes back to JC where he’s a medium sized fish in a small pond.
Mitchell and others calling him out for showboating during the spring gave me pause. He’s an athlete for sure but I don’t want a kid with a bad attitude even if he switches positions. Most good QBs have innate leadership qualities abve and beyond their athletic ability. This kid’s Ryan Leaf without the arm or football IQ imo. He may decide to stay but no way he’s our QB for the next 3-4 years. He’ll have to really hit rock bottom before a true attitude adjustment.
I think that’s been the consensus for a while.
Except storm says the team rallies around him and he is a fiery leader.
You seriously think anyone thinks you’re not a joke of a person with that handle?
Death threats?
Fatal errors?
Besides having the worst handle in the history of the world, wtf are you talking about man?
That was a rant? And you supposedly ended it?
I’m not gonna hold my breath after the “this is the best we’ve seen the offense” before the Arizona ass fucking.
Exactly what I was thinking minus the anal imagery
agreed
I know he’s gotta stay positive but until we see it on the field I can’t take Diet Coke’s practice reports too seriously. He said the same shit post bye week and we got crushed by Zona.
Intrasquad scrimmage was much better than last year. The team is playing much more uptempo and much better offensively. A lot of what we’ve heard about the recruits is true, most notably that Stevie Thompson Jr is an extremely smooth, efficient player. He can put up points in bunches. High IQ. Definitely deserving of the 4 stars he has. They still have some work to do being on the same page. Tinkle is a really good all around player. He tried to dunk on too many people and could hurt himself doing that. Eubanks is very athletic, very active around the basket on both ends.
Injuries we see: Gomis has a hand injury, Reid has a foot issue, N’Diaye has a shoulder injury. Frontcourt depth is looking thin unfortunately. Depending on freshman bigs is going to be tough sometimes. Gomis and Reid would REALLY be helpful.
I’d say the starters are going to be Thompson, Duvivier, GPII in the backcourt, Eubanks and Tinkle in the frontcourt, and Olaf-Bruce-Rakocevic-LMW off the bench, in that order. Olaf would probably start if Gomis was in the lineup. We shall see. November 5th vs Western, hope as many people can see as possible.
Thanks for the update thatguy!
How long are Gomis and Reid out for?
Gomis could return as early as the Beavers’ game at Kansas on Dec. 12, their eighth contest of the season.
Tinkle said senior forward Jarmal Reid is “out another few weeks” with a stress fracture in his right foot and that 7-foot junior center Cheikh N’diaye is still battling a shoulder injury.

Thanks
Manuel has a broken leg and most likely red-shirts this year.
was he the Montana transfer or was that different player? Whoever the Montana transfer was is going to have to sit out this year anyways
There ought to be a rule in favor of non-ship players for transfer if we’re talking about an SA’s best interest. If a walk-on wants to go somewhere where he can play his sport for free (instead of paying his way), then let him do so with no penalty.
I know that’s not the case here. But the principle holds. A SA paying his own way deserves to have unfettered eligibility no matter where he plays. This does open up loopholes. But I believe FBS should limit rosters to the same as FCS. Actually, a step up deserves something between FCS and the NFL… somewhere around 61 or 62.
Then let’s see how much rich boosters make a difference in the game.
Not the Montana transfer that is Daine Muller. Manuel is a freshman recruit from Montana. The #2 recruit in Montana.
These are known.
osubeavers.com write up on the scrimmage. I know it’s just a scrimmage but sounds like Steven Thompson Jr just lit it up as that guy posted above. Wish I could’ve gone down and taken a quick peek but it wasn’t in the cards. We plan to attend several more games this season
http://www.osubeavers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=30800&ATCLID=210458187
Did you not believe Stevie was a rifleman?
Little Tinks wastes too much energy trying to jump a foot higher than he needs to make a play. In the process, he misses a lot of plays he would see if he played more in control.
Bruce plays at his own pace, and he’s not far off the college game. Until he gets there, he’s going to look off time. That’s a practice thing.
The good news is the young bigs aren’t all elbows and asses. They got some hands and feet and hustle.
Thompson Jr lights it up for 28… Wow I’m liking this squad already. I’m scared that the defense is going to regress as we have a lot of front court injuries(gomeis and Reid) but I think Eubanks is a legit shot blocker and finisher around the rim. Also he’s going to out jump people for boards which is a big plus.
Starting 5 prediction
Malcolm Duvivier
Stephen Thompson Jr.
Gary Payton ii
Olaf or tres
Drew Eubanks
Was s Thompson Jr. Playing point guard? Can he? Can he slash?
He wasn’t playing point guard last night and will more then likely play off the ball this season. But I think he can handle it well enough that if we needed him to he could play point. Also he’s a prolific finisher around the rim. Hits floaters all day long. Kid can flat out score
Will’s dad must be beaming with pride. Hope pettibonehead gets to catch up with him

Noticed that Scout has a 2 star recruit named Marlon Eugene committed to Oregon State as of June 22. Anybody know the story? Is he really a commitment? Beavblazer or Beaverkman or anyone else know?
Never heard of him on any site. Must be a mistake or some kid pulling our chain.
Eugene is a WR who announced online he was committing to OSU back in June. Only problem was, he never talked about it first with the coaches. Apparently he misunderstood a conversation he had had with Telly Lockette and thought he had an offer that he could just accept by tweeting. Looks likr Scout never removed him from the list, but he’s not actually a commit.

Thanks

Some highlights…I’m very upset that they didn’t include the best play of the game, early in the 1st half GPII caught a lob from Tres and put his huevos on someone’s neck. It brought everyone out of their seats.
Not the best play. The most raucous and flamboyant? Yes.
Stevie sinking that first shot was the best play. There is nothing more beautiful than ballers who can shoot.
Jesus Shuttlesworth is asking for an amen. Can he get an amen?
Oh Jesus! You are a player! I give myself to you as if I’m someone you take off the bounce. I will await your return… next season.
I can hand jive in some religious way.
Please Jesus! Please! Give me relief.
Save me Jesus! Save me from being some pathetic fan.

Fuck it.
I’m going to say right now… fuck it.
Our school deserves this. We deserve to be free of all the shackles of stupidity. We deserve to lead our young to a new age of love and leadership. We deserve to repose.
What does repose mean?
List of fuckers:
Richardson, Brown, Lovett, Kellogg, Root, Halliburton and Bechtel
Look them up. Google them. Someone understand half of what tey’ve done in the name of capitalism in the last 70 years.
Oh yeah… capitalism doesn’t just mean old money makes old money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because… I can hear the cries of relevance dying as I type..
And I’m part of that kinda… dammit!
Dammit!
never mind
I was close. Everything they show yo on the news to scare you into thinking some other nation is “whack” or “good” or… is whack a bygone? Anyway… many people in the Middle East die for one of two reasons.
And… my original is on a comment…. which I do not argue against. You must admit. All the words, as they are typed, and as they look… visually?
What the hell did I just read?
You’ll learn to skip over it.
You read that?
Watched the “Dive” after getting back from a volleyball match last night.
When they showed the team coming into the locker room after the CU game, Baldwin was in the picture and he looked like he was about to cry. Not the picture of the strong leader. He looked like a beaten man. GA is a good actor and stays on message. He seems to be a good leader that is confident in what he is doing.
Well to be fair, I heard they ran out of Diet Cokes on the sidelines, and he had only drank a bakers dozen that day. So, we might have to give him a pass.
At least he didn’t drink a Banker’s dozen.
Banker’s dozen is just a regular dozen, reflecting the number of men on the field
What’s a Read’s dozen?
I caught my first glimpse of the Dive (just switch to Comcast) last night. He has to be one of the most charismatic leaders I’ve ever seen. Seems like the kind of coach I’d want to play for. If we can get some forward momentum on the field, it feels like recruiting could really break loose.
What, you didn’t like Riley’s charismatic statements?
Well, uh, we just gotta have that, um, offensive balance but we’ll work on getting better this week so we can, you know, play better on the field come, ah, Saturday. Huh? What’s that? Nah, I thought Mark did a great job, um… Yeah… gotta, you know, make more tackles and we’re, uh, right there.
You forgot “neat deal.”
Yeah… but he’s so right.
Nkeal Harry says he’s announcing his school monday. Would be shocked if its the beavs. I expect Arizona, or maybe ASU.
Something to keep an eye on this upcoming offseason is South Carolina going after Rich Rod. If he leaves Arizona, could re-open things for Eletise (and Harry if he chooses them)
I don’t see him leaving. The Michigan experience was a strong lesson.
Could almost double his current pay which is $2.8M this year. Read South Carolina is able to pay around $5M. Not saying it will happen but I could see it happening, and that would be great news for OSU if he leaves.
Doesn’t Rich Rod get some mega incentive from boosters if he’s there for X more years? I don’t remember the details, but I remember hearing something like that on P12 network I think.
Haven’t heard that. would have to be pretty mega to make up that difference.
Strange. I thought he’d visit Oregon.
I bet he commits due to the injury then still takes trips.
that’s what I think too. probably wants to lock something in since a high ankle sprain could be season ending at this point in the year. His stock can only go down if he doesn’t play anymore this year.
As much as i know Tucson is a hell on earth, South Carolina is that much worse.
Why would anyone in their right mind go to South Carolina?
To marry their cousin?
You can go to Utah for that.
Also, after you’ve done that, you can stay in Utah for that.
Although, Zony must accept some consideration in this slam.
Much of South Carolina is beautiful (the Upstate and the coast). Columbia has no redeeming value, from what I can tell.
Yeah… it’s all relative. Pretty can be had elsewhere without the insects and humidity.
My first set of orders were for Beaufort SC. I got most the way thru framp school before they called me down to S-1 and gave me the “bad news” that they were changing my orders to El Toro. No tears shed that day.
How in the world is going from SC to SC “bad news”…?
That blows my mind.
The only thing I can think is that people interested in promotions and sucking up needed to be close to where they could do so?
Some notes from Eggers, injuries providing some opportunity and position changes:
“Offensive tackle Sean Harlow will be lost for the season and will have surgery to repair a broken foot. The 6-4, 300-pound junior is in his third year as a starter and will be tough to replace. Look for O-line coach T.J. Woods to shuffle his lineup, moving right guard Isaac Seumalo to left tackle and inserting redshirt freshman Kammy Delp at right guard.
Left guard Fred Lauina also left the Colorado game with a hamstring injury. His status is questionable for Saturday. If Lauina is unable to go, redshirt freshman Drew Clarkson would be the likely replacement.
Running back Chris Brown (knee) and cornerbacks Treston Decoud (concussion symptoms) and Larry Scott (ankle) will also miss the Utah game. That leaves redshirt freshman Dwayne Williams and either junior Kendall Hill or sophomore Charles Okonkwo as probable starting corners.
OSU coaches are hopeful that running backs Storm Barrs-Woods, who has dealt with a couple of injuries, and Damien Haskins (quad), defensive tackle Jalen Grimble (knee) and receiver Hunter Jarmon (injury unknown) will be able to play Saturday. ”
Interesting changes to watch:
CB play and how Okonkwo has developed, will Noland-Lewis see time at CB? ;
Clarkson > Lauina sounds like a good opportunity, and Seaumalo at LT;
Hope Haskins, Grimble and Jarmon are able to play, the lack of depth otherwise seems significant.
Given the absence of Brown and his speed, I’d rather see Lucas get some handoffs than Bolden, but they’ll probably go to Bolden.
Seems reasonable to expect Utah to win handily, but individual OSU player development – and the progress (?) of the two QB system – probably make the game interesting viewing.

I was hoping Isaac moved out and Kammy got the road grading job.
I might be happy despite any outcome. Kam and Clarkson inside is a great great line… in the future?
Nobody has said so. So I will say Clarkson has been really good at LG. He’s made some mistakes. But they have been few and far between. He held that side together last weekend. Kid is good.
Easy to imagine Nall runs to the left side…which I think Utah would expect and hopefully Baldwin can counter strategically and effectively.
Don’t sell Kam short until he Remmers it.
And I have to say after watching Carolina play for many weeks on end… wtf Cav? Why the hell did your line play some other game instead of football? A former walk-on you “developed” is succeeding on the pro level.
Did Bikey develop NFL players? Or did Bikey do his job?
Baldwin is going to switch to Diet Vanilla Coke.
I want to see a WIN and kid Lucas #16 can surely help deliver the goods on that one!!
SPEED KILLS….
Where can I find the photo of Collins moping while the rest of the team sings the fight song?
Check his Facebook page.
If true… ouch.
I can’t see much because I’m not his friend. Any other way I can see it? I am really curious now.
Here you go Mr. Earrings

Thanks!
Guyton is apparently too cool for it, too.
It is pretty dumb IMO
Maybe he was pissed cause they lost?
That’s pretty much the point.
So why is everyone bitching so much? If you are smiling when you lose you’re a chump
And if you pout, you’re the same.
There is a wide middle ground where most people manage to live.
OT — OSU research: ‘Glowing cancer cells mark surgery, treatment advance, study says’

OT… fucking DUH?

Let the willfully blind know why they really lost their sight.
And was Bechtel really that much smarter that none of Rummy’s money was discovered?
Whatever… if you think ISIS is bad, you should see video of Saudi Arabia from last week… and last month… and last year… and ten years ago… and 20 years ago… and 30 years ago… you know… before they were our friends.
ISIS is Saud. 9/11 was Saud. Understand those, and you understand much.
Shocking!
Not the bribery, the actually being charged.
agreed
Yeah that’s amazing. Who wants to bet that’s the last we’ll hear of it?
I’ll bet… well… no I won’t. But it would be a decent bet. It probably has teeth. But it’s in Nigeria. We’ll just buy them off to avoid any embarrassment.
It’s all politics, except for the reality of the charges. It smacks of, “everyone does it.”
PHIL STEELE REPORT:
Oregon State – Offense: #87 – Defense: #85 – Special Teams: #77
Utah – Offense: #39 – Defense: #17 – Special Teams: #2
I went against Utah last week and they were in a tough situation and even trailed USC
42-17 late in the fourth quarter. Normally I like to go against a team that had their
National Title bubble burst but here I like the home team. Utah has taken on the second
toughest schedule in the country and was actually playing with mounting pressure last
week and now will be looser. Oregon State is in a rebuilding year and they have
struggled on the road, being outgained by an average of 523-260 and losing by 29
points per game. Utah defensive players may show a little extra passion after their wellliked
defensive coordinator Kilane Sitake left them to go to Oregon State in the
offseason. Utah still controls its own destiny in the Pac 12 South.
