It’s a slow day so far, so how about a hoops discussion since we’re one week away from the season beginning (exhibition game).
Twitter blew up last night with Thompson’s 28 point performance.
Here‘s an entire recap.
Apparently I missed that Tres Tinkle is out of the boot and fully healed, but he dropped 15 points last night.
The big picture last night was that the young guys performed as advertised.
An interesting debate today would be the starting lineup and depth. I’m thinking Payton, Duvivier, Thompson, Tinkle, Eubanks. Beavs will have to go small since all their bigs are hurt. That would put Bruce, Walker, and Olaf as backups until they get full strength. Once at full strength, the depth is pretty good (Reid is nice off the bench). I haven’t seen Rankocevic mentioned at all. Is he on the team? They could use him. It will be interesting to see if Noah continues with football, etc, as well.
Discuss.
Another lineup could be:
Payton, Bruce, Thompson, Tinkle, Eubanks. The more I think about it, this is probably better than starting Duvivier since it puts a true point guard out there. Then Duvivier could sub for Bruce or Payton since he has a mix of those skills. That is actually probably best.
Should be better than last season, which IMO was pleasantly surprising still. Tinkle did a ton with nothing
Part of the starting line-up will depend on who’s willing to put out the defensive effort. It’s nice to see guys be able to get the ball in the hoop, though.
Sorta OT: Just saw in the feed that Pivec committed to the Lady Beavs. Second 5 * for Rueck in as many years and he pulled her from WA over a solid UW program and Stanford. Would be a monster class if Ionescu, not holding my breath, comes on board as well. If she doesn’t, I just don’t want to see her got to Hole.
Rueck is the man. Who else has he signed this cycle?
Not signed yet, but verbals from:
Katharine Tudor, **** 6′ guard, Stockton, CA
Janessa Thropay, *** 6’2″ F, Chino hills, CA
Katharine Tudor, a 4* out of CA, same HS as Ali Gibson. From everything I’ve read, she’s one of the best shooters in this class.
Janessa Thropay, a 3/4*, depending upon the site, F. Not as much press about her but ESPN says she boards and can step out and shoot it some. Sounds like a replacement for Devan Hunter.
Tudor’s highlight film is like 95% 3 pt shots going in, and a single drive to the basket
angry, remember the Twins photoshop you did with Tinkle and DeCarolis?
Think you could make one of those with Rueck in place of Bob?
Thinking it would make a good profile pic for the twitter feed as basketball season kicks off
Haha. I’ll see what I can do.
The bigs will have to rotate often until Gomis gets back. I don’t think they’ll be able to play effectively for more than 5-8 min at a time.
Thompson while showing good things in the scrimmage will eventually have to adjust when defenders become physical with him. He’s pretty light. Beav’s were the worst in 3 pt shooting last year. Thompson should improve that greatly.
Payton and Thompson should lead the way on scoring. Essentially replacing Robbins scoring from last year plus a little more.
The keys to this year is maintaining the defensive efforts from last year and improving on rebounding at both ends. Scoring should improve naturally with the freshman.
Tinkle is a great 3 point shooter by all accounts (and the film I watched). He should also help; not just Thompson.
I think Tinkle will take longer to get adjusted. Thompson looks like he’ll be able to step in and significantly contribute.
Mostly I think this because of all the competition that Thompson faced in southern california. Quality of competition day in day out is much better. I’m predicting Tinkle will be good in spurts but Thompson will be more consistent.
This is only for this year.
Any evidence of an improvement w.r.t. converting layups?
You guys have the Utah JV coaching staff in basketball too, WOW! Without coach K, nobody would have given your coach a chance!
You’re trying too hard there buddy…
blah blah blah
None of them from Utah, Duckie.
Sorry to bust your Duck logic there… like you don’t live that reality.
Duckie misses the lay-up.
I figured he would.
Football Update:
Via Mizell: Oregon State starting QB Seth Collins did not practice today. Had a “setback” (undisclosed injury) during stretches, Gary Andersen said.
Hmmm….coach talks with Collins……Collins has a baby fit……Collins “hurts” his hamstring in warm-ups.
That’s lame, you have no idea what’s going on.
Get it?
Lame?
During stretches?!
Sprained his vulva
Careful, you’re gonna get called out by LK for misogynistic death threats now! Treat sprained vulvas with the seriousness they deserve!
Why does a vulva have anything to do with anything unless you’re trying to be misogynistic?
Seriously. What does it even mean except as a slam against women, if it is meant as any kind of slam?
Is the penis not good enough a target?
It implies that he doesn’t have a penis.
Maybe it implies that he is a hermaphrodite?
Why do you hate hermaphrodites?
Don’t hermaphrodites have genitals of both sexes?
Yep so you hate women. Fucking misogynist.
fallacies don’t fly
try again
ahem “Phallusies”
I wouldn’t argue with him. Take it from me. Once he starts all I can do is eat to help stop the pain.
Sounds like a you problem.
Sounds like you and Lindsay have something in common
He does.
Aaaaand the hyperserious brigade strikes again
You PC, bro? Wew, wew.
Woah, you’re PC? I’m PC too bro! PC Oregon State bro!
How is it hyper? It’s just a question.
Is being a woman an inferior thing?
That’s what the comment means to me as I read it. If it not intended that way, then I’m just wrong. Then it means that being a woman is a superior thing. Then it means the comment was meant to praise SC, and I just read it wrong.
What does it mean to you, in a non-hyperserious way? What do those words mean as they are written? Do you have a light-hearted answer to those questions?
Oh brother. What’s it all mean to me? It means I was making a flippant reference to the earlier comment comparing saying someone’s an asshole to death threats.
As for Dwill’s comment, yes, he’s questioning Collins’ manhood. In a football context, that is generally in insult because we all know players don’t exactly try getting hyped up on estrogen and “feminine” feelings before a game. That does not mean those things do not have their value, but it is not in a football context. A sort of “you throw like a girl” which while isn’t the kind of insult I’d personally lob, isn’t something I’d read terribly into and get worked up over, unlike you. And I’m not a girl, so easy for me to say, I imagine you retorting – but even when similar things are said about demographics I am a member of, I don’t raise a stink either. Because being able to talk shit once in a while is better than all the PC being injected freaking everywhere in society.
I can barely believe I’m wasting my time explaining this to you, because the battle lines were probably drawn before anything was posted given your SJW tendencies. You basically like to perceive slights and injustices so you can use them as ammunition to attack others and bolster your own sense of moral superiority.
See? Now I’m also being too serious about this crap, and you can see how much fun it makes the the thread.
It’s not my topic. And I fail to see what PC has to do with it also.
But I see that you do admit it is an insult to women. So that does answer my question, and I did not read it incorrectly.
Interpret what I said however you want. I know you will, anyway.
… that is generally in insult…
I interpret this as:
that is generally an insult
Did you also intend for those words to mean something other than what they do? Am I also needing this “joke” to be explained to me?
Yes, it was an insult directed at Collins.
You’re just trolling me now, aren’t you? Bad Scotty, getting baited like this :(
damn
Why does everything have to be so PC? I don’t consider myself to be a misogynist in any shape or form – I love and respect women and all of their wonderful parts – but can’t we just laugh at something kinda funny without preaching about this and that? There are limits but I thought angrybeavs was a place we could write some shit without constant reprimands. If we want that go to Blitz.
Jack is the only one that gets his tit in a wringer about stupid bullshit around here. I do it on purpose sometimes when I’m bored. Especially when someone is being a pussy or a bitch.
Yes, but you hate your wimmens. So I don’t care about what you think other than to carry on what you want to talk about.
What I hate is know it all PC douchebags like you. Women are awesome.
Wimmins? Is that a black joke? Fucking racist.
Except for yours… because you hate them… in a non-PC way.
You think blacks talk like that?
Interesting.
My women are fine, get off to your Klan meeting hillbilly.
Your women are fine when you’re not there… hating them.
Let’s go with this idea that you think blacks talk like morons. How long have you felt that way?
Every since you started making black jokes red neck.
Here’s a new one. You’re going to have to explain a joke I made that apparently I don’t get.
This should be good. Let’s hear it.
If you loved women so much sweetie would it kill you to figure out where the clitoris is?
What’s to figure out. It’s where it always has been.
Unless you think it’s on the leg somewhere…? Then I’m at a loss.
Sorry everyone, it’s my fault. I forgot to put a trigger warning before the word “misogynistic” even though I knew it’d set Jack off.
Am I set off? I’m asking questions about your topic. If that makes anyone uncomfortable with this, then why is it me being set off?
Great, now you’ve done it. I predict 35 posts tonight arguing with himself about the validity of the heterocage.
I’m not sure what organic chemistry has to do with this… or why it needs to be validated.
Wrong heterocage. I’m talking about the white male oppression of females. And how all white men are rapists, even if the female consents to sex. Which includes marriage. “Heterocage” is a feminist buzz word. A few others include cis-gendered, White Privilege, Hate Speech, Trigger Warning, Rape Culture, Patriarchy and a few others. Basically it’s nonsense…..or more of an excuse why ugly chick’s can’t get laid.
Interesting. I’ve never heard the word used in that context. I’ve also never heard of trigger warning. I don’t understand the push back against hate speech or patriarchy. They’re just words that define certain things. Policies that seek to hedge them are a separate issue and should be discussed individually. But there’s nothing nonsensical in two definitions.
Rape culture I understand and disagree as a term. It’s too broad a term. If talking about a lazy or misogynistic law enforcement, administrative or coaching group, just use those words instead. That way you don’t envelop whole swaths of people in some vagary meant to be precise.
I’m not sure why you think white privilege is nonsense. It’s how me and my friends would steal Playboys as kids. The one black kid in our circle would go in the store, and clerks would follow him around, paying us no mind. We had that shit figured out at age 12. Why is it difficult for you?
WFO made me spit out my 17th Diet Coke! That was funny Man, or if you’d like I can refer to you as the other gender if you’d prefer. I don’t want to be insensitive,
Why is it even PC?
Words have meanings. Do they not? I’m asking a question, and all I’m getting is some bullshit deflection about PC? I really want to know what a vulva has to do with this. Why write something if there is no meaning to it? I don’t see any humor in it, because it makes zero sense to me. You could put the word “tree” in there, and I would ask, “What does that have to do with anything?”
Would you get all hot and shitty with your PC pukology if the word was tree, and I wanted to know what was wrong with trees?
Why don’t you tell me what those words mean? Or is it “PC” to even read them?
Jack defends women but not Collins being called an asshole. Jack confirmed feminist. Come back when you don’t forget your balls at the doorstep.
P.S. you strike me as the friend-zoned type and someone who writes death threats to players
What are you talking about? You compare apples and purples then babble about weird stuff.
Did that made sense when you submitted it? Are you going to blame the internet for changing your original post and making you look like a twerp?
LPL (Left Pussy Lip)
Damn…hijack much?
By the way, jacks right…it was a stupid word to use in the context
You mean LLM, right? Left Labia Minora – which can also mean the left leg of a disgruntled frosh QB.
Odds StCH transfers now are greater than 40% and that Jack’s an overreacting feminist 85+%.
There is only one labia minora, and it is certainly not a part of a leg. Where did you study anatomy?
Besides, I think Tlingit is referring to the labia majora. I don’t know whose left he’s talking about, the woman’s or his.
I know that there’s only one majora and minora. You’re the only one that doesn’t get it. Please go back into your Box.
What box? Does everyone else get a box? Am I box-less? I’m not worried about it since I’m more minimalistic than you propose. But I feel like
I need an actual MD (or anatomy major) to tell me if there is only one labia majora. I honestly don’t know. Does it stop at the perineum and another starts? Does it end there, like a horseshoe, then wrap around the pubis? Is there only one labia majora. It looks to me like there are two.
How many hits have you taken from D1 talent? Some 235# dude running a 4.6 40 blowing you up on the run? Zero? Shit hurts homie, don’t be a dickhead.
Nice… now we get to talk about what dickhead means.
What does it mean?
I always thought that when a man thought with his penis (which can’t happen) he was chasing the object(s) of his desire. But this usage does not imply that really dumb idea.
I guess the point is that misandry to counter misogyny doesn’t justify either.
I’ve lost track to whom you are referring…last time I checked this was a hoops thread.
Y’all already read what I said in the last thread. That’s a good point about the defense though; it starts at that end and then offense is created within the flow of a general set. That’s what makes this so tough is that we are going to be watching a small lineup go against teams that go 6’1-6’3-6’6-6’9-6’11 so we give up a LOT of size at the conventional 3 and 4 spots. Thompson is serviceable on defense but he’s in there for his offense. I need a better look at the defense against a foreign opponent to really gauge where they are. Iona on November 17th is the real first look.
Also, we finally got a proper pronunciation of Rakocevic’s name: Raw-korch-a-vich. PA guy gonna have a field day.
Rueck with the nice pick up of Pivec. Real deal. Chances seem low on Ionescu though, since her brother just walked on at hole.
FWIW Re the front line: I’m not as concerned about the height of the healthy players as I am about their ages and experience.
I’m also wondering if Tinkle can get the team to play D the way they did last year.
Looking forward to how it all unfolds for both the men’s and women’s teams.
deleted by hand since the delete key isn’t working. Hint, hint angry
Anyone have the word on Rakocevic? Is he on the roster and ready to go? He is the only guy I haven’t heard anything about.
He played. 3-8 shooting. 3 rebounds, 3 turnovers.
Per the Oregonian’s scrimmage recap, “Rakocevic knocked down a free-throw-line jumper late in the second half for his first points. Tinkle credited the 6-foot-11 big man with some good seals and post-ups”
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2015/10/oregon_state_basketball_gives.html#incart_most-readbeavers
Well that is great news. That’s another C right there, so Eubanks and Rakocevic. Olaf can even do a bit of that vs softer teams
IMO the “update” to the OSU website fucking SUCKS!!!!
Then tell them so. That’s why it’s a public beta.
Duh?
Depends on how you visit the site. If you go on your phone or tablet, it’s 100% better than before. Desktop, not so much.
OT-
The Clash. Did you have to be there?
I’ve been streaming punk rock from some random app on the Xbox while I’m working. Pretty decent overall, some obscure shit here and there. Every time a song comes on that I think “what the fuck is this terrible shit?” I go read it and it’s the Clash.
Haha.
Well their reggae style punk can be pretty lame. The harder stuff (Safe European Home, etc) is great.
I’m not at all familiar with their stuff other than the obvious London Calling and Rock the Casbah (Fuck the chow hall). So I don’t know what it is they’re playing but it’s God Fucking awful. To be fair they’re playing obscure shit by bands I do know and if I wasn’t familiar with their other stuff I might think those bands sucked too.
More great work by O.S.U.

Have any Riley players played in a Super Bowl? (Honest question)
Browner I believe
Yes… just this last year for NE.
Koets did too, I think. Keenan Lewis… went up against DeVan?
Guess most was before I started following the Beavs much. Good to know, though

Garcia most likely tomorrow. Good recruiting by Tyson Penn
It’s been a good week for recruiting… considering we don’t have an airport.
Just be careful what you wish for Jack.
And it rained in corvallis all week
We may never have an airport here in Corvallis, but I hear there’s a plan to eventually install indoor plumbing throughout the city (and campus, too!) within the next decade. Still haven’t heard anything about paving the streets, though. Bummer.
I read your post and this started playing in my head. https://youtu.be/FHDwRECFL8M
I’d just be satisfied if they cleaned the horse poop from the streets once in a while. It’s hard to avoid when I’m taking my covered wagon to the general store. Keep having to wash the wheels off in the crick every week.
Is the Liberty LB Himphill a greyshirt offer? With Hughes-Murray committing you’d think the kid would have a bit of pressure to verbal now. He sure looks fast.
I’ve followed Hughes-Murray for a bit and frankly I wasn’t too impressed with his Jr. film. Seemed to have the body but a bit slow afoot. His Sr. highlights show another gear and strength – looks a lot fast. Seems like a good tackler and violent at attack. A bit surprised he didn’t have more P5 offers but maybe it was grades or possibly he just blew up this year… Nice get.
Himphill’s offer was a greyshirt. I still think he’s in play and Beavs will land him.
faster
If sparky or the huskies had half of a functioning offense, they’d smoke the quacks. ASU without an offensive TD last week. Tied up with oregon at 17 just after the half.
Nice scheduling break for the duckies
Sparky getting ready to fork Puddles in that giant bill. 31-20
And then duck kick off return for a TD, go figure. Well, can’t expect ASU to win anything important when they gagged against Biley’s 5-win crew
Nice drop by carrington, easy touchdown. That’s it for the ducks
What the fuck kinda play was that?
Whole shit, was that lucky
Seth Collins sprained his vulva while changing tampons.
And maybe i hate women, maybe I don’t. Or maybe I hate a few and like a few. Or maybe I love them all. Have fun with that one, PC police.
Maybe Seth should become a cheerleader. He’s pretty.
The first sentence just doesn’t make sense. Never mind spraining something that isn’t a ligament. But a guy doesn’t have a vulva.
So what does that sentence mean?
He has the figurative vulva blues.
he has a sheela na gig?
… or is unhappy he doesn’t have one?
And how do you sprain a piece of art?
straining your wang when whipping it out to piss on it?
Why do these ESPN slob knockers act like Adams is the second fucking coming of Marcus Mariota? Win or lose this game, the Ducks are irrelevant this season, but ESPN doesn’t want to accept it.
ASU should have won, but they may somehow find a way to lose it.
Has more Manziel than Mariota in him. Some impressive escapes tonight.
Yeah that wasn’t a touchdown. Pac12 refs, best in da biz.
I said ASU would beat themselves. What was that receiver doing? Way to give up on the route dude.
See that last possession? On the bright side, Mike Norvell has a future as OC for the Seahawks if this college thing doesn’t work out.
Mitchell needs to take notes on how the ASU QB runs the read option. We don’t need him to go out and break big TD runs. Just need him to take the 5-6 yards when the defense continues to give it to him on the keep.
Btw, for those who dont care to talk about vulvi (plural vulva? I’m too lazy to look it up) there was a new baseball commit tonight
Usually the words of latin origin ending in a are plural with an e added to the end (e.g. pupae).
Excellent.
Jack’s vulva. Who knew that would sound so phonetic?
Who? Do you know a woman named Jack?
Actually I’m replying to one right now. What are the odds!?
I’m not a woman. So the odds are zero.
And if I was one, there would be no odds anyway since you would already know this and would choose to reply. That’s a dumb question.
Calling a man a woman and ball less = A-ok. Calling a man an asshole = Not ok
Logic or reason = Non existent
pretty much
I like you better now than when you were at SC. Who knew you had a sense of humor!?

Except for the continued use of the phrase, “Austin’s potential future NBA career,” he probably has a good case. Nikegon really fucked up in every direction with that incident.
Holy fuck. I would’ve said strained penis but vulva is a much funnier word. It was a flippant joke I typed in 3 seconds before running off to a meeting. My bad
To all the lady BEAVS out there: I in no way, shape or form meant to imply you were/are the weaker sex with my crass joke. In fact I feel the contrary, I’ve been front and center watching my wife push an 8 lb bowling ball out of her, while I find myself sometimes complaining about gas. I’m in awe on a daily basis how she’s able to run a successful business, while caring for my son, and keeping tabs on everything else going on around us while I find myself to caught up in my own job. I love my mother, sister, wife. I already have love for my daughters that are on the way. I’m personally ready for a female president, just not Hilary.
Women are a weaker and fairer sex. It’s always been that way, and we love and protect them for it. That’s nature and what’s wrong with truth? You didn’t have to explain yourself to Jack, the rest of us got that you were joking.
Weaker in what way? I think you’re referring to physicality, not mentality. So that would be true on average. I don’t know why love mitigates that difference, if indeed it even needs to be mitigated. Women simply have different strengths than men. But they share more strengths than there are differences, by far. So concentrating on one is disingenuous when it’s really a symbiotic relationship.
And this doesn’t speak to any truth. If it does, and I am to take your words in defense literally, we are calling someone mentally weak and compare that mental weakness to womanhood with more than imprecise language… thinking it is funny in some way.
Is that love?
Ugh!
Not wanting Hillary (and not listening to Obama’s campaign) is why we have another Wall Street tool in office. People fooled themselves into thinking Obama was only saying a couple catch phrases instead of hearing that he was just as far to the right of center as HRC is.
The idea that a woman’s body part is funny, and that supplants reason is what I’m getting at. I honestly don’t know what a “strained” penis would have to do with anything either. But at least he has one.
Why not go straight at the matter? Nobody has yet said he just has an inflated ego not worthy of his reality. Instead, it becomes about a really poor so-called joke. And it really does deserve to be about that, since it immediately distracts from the original topic with irrational and weird language. I hope none of you are calling for English to become the official language in this country, because this is a major fail… and you would be a hypocrite… on top of having dim wit.
Jack you are literally a walking anti-joke. When you enter the room people immediately turn down the music and go silent. Plants begin to die and animals hide in their nooks and cranny’s in fear of the ultra-serious Gestapo Jack.
That’s not bad… except you invoked Godwin’s Law.
You were good up to that point.

It’s a fine name for a stadium. They even played a Super Bowl in it.
Ecccccles!!!!!
Dude we all know you’ve never even been there
So before the vulva injury thread closes, I’d like to share a little story:
I was in 7th grade health class, and we were in the sex-ed/gendered anatomy unit. My teacher tells us that one year a female student came up to her after class.
Student: Um, Miss [name], which are better to use? The plastic tampons, or the cardboard ones?
Teacher: I don’t understand. What do you mean?
Student: Well, I mean, the cardboard ones are harder for me to get in, but it’s uncomfortable to sit down with the plastic ones.
Teacher: Dear, that’s just the applicator. You’re supposed to take that out.
Student: O___O
Yeah, my seventh grade self and now all of us are better for that story, you’re welcome
Wonder if the young lady was practicing up for being a stage performer in Mexico. I’ve been told that they have girls down there that take on a horse on stage.
Obviously 2nd hand information.
DONKEY time
Olongapo! 1974
Memories of Subic…
I’m still not thinking of 7th grade girls when recalling those memories.
I do remember looking around at times and giggling at how some of those girls just looked soooo excited to be with the sailors they were with. Tools on duty were tools on leave. Who knew?
They weren’t on leave dippy, they were on liberty. Ya never been to the PI, and it shows.
heh heh
tomato/tomato
Do you want to explain the difference between liberty and shore leave?
I’ll wait.
Maybe I should have made the mistake to say “on pass” instead?
Bring it.
or don’t
Jack, I’m only speaking from memory and not looking at a book, but my recollection is liberty was when the troops were released at the end of the workday to go into the Ville. Leave is something you accrued on something like a two day a month basis. If you took a day of leave it was administratively charged to your service record. There is quite a bit of difference between the two.
I was with the 3rd Battallion 9th Marines on an LST. For some reason, in July of 1974, we were in drydock for two weeks at Pubic Bay. The Marines nothing to do so every day they let us go at 1400 and we didn’t have to be back across shit river and on the base until midnight. I kid you not it was two of the best weeks of my life. It’s not describable to someone who hasn’t been there, and Tijuana doesn’t even come remotely close. Occasionally I’ll cross paths with someone like me who was there in the early days and swap some great stories. Man!!
I know what you’re saying. But it’s a shit argument. Liberty off the boat is leave. Liberty underway is more accurately segregated from leave. There’s a point to the language. I never had a CO who called it anything. I have been dumped on base by SP, who used the words, “leave terminated.”
In the end, liberty is just shore leave… technically… liberty is leave. And because I wasn’t in alpha mode, someone wants to play.
That’s fine. Play away. Chitty chitty bang bang

Why would you wonder that, of all things?
I just finished watching the post-Colorado edition of “The Dive.” There is a scene with Baldwin in the post game locker room slumping against of post. Looks tired and defeated. Sort of like Jeb Bush campaigning. I can see why GA brought in Crowton, although at almost 60, does he have much energy left/
I can’t believe this type of television exposure is good for anything. They should consider backing out for the remainder of the season, as the losses mount.
Watching the show it’s apparant that GA is staring to run out of motivational tools. Most coaches, myself included, have a bag of tricks to help the team through the rough spots. GA has run through his material and is starting to repeat himself. Most coaches don’t have enough motivational gimmicks to get through much more than seven or eight defeats before the kids tune out and start thinking of self-preservation. JB
“…with Baldwin in the post game locker room slumping against of post. Looks tired and defeated…”
As well he should and that’s not taking into consideration his “habit”.
Speaking of his “habit”: if he’s not chugging diet cokes during the game and goes without for 3 or 4 hours that too would contribute to looking/being tired.
Imo anyone with a habit like that definitely has a few screws loose. and again IMO is questionable as being a leader of young men.
The soda habit is disturbing. I have a counter-argument to our worries:

I’m pretty sure it’s a legally binding contract, so they couldn’t back out even if they want to. Andersen knew what he was probably getting into anyway.
Also, this still can be good television exposure so long as he shows his leadership abilities well on camera.
Quitting would be a worse look anyway. “We’re so bad we don’t want to be televised” wouldn’t fly.
Besides, The Drive covered Cal’s 1-11 year, and they’re doing okay.
Looking like there is a Beaver on Garcia’s Helmet.
Looks like the Bellevue helmet.
Collins game time decision. If he can’t go, I wonder if they stick with NM solely, or if they mix in MM?
The QB is just going to get beat up in this system, more so if he tries to be the feature RB. We’ll see who gets what come game time.

Isaac Garcia’s twitter shows the puzzle pieces with the incomplete “The Com” https://twitter.com/swish_nation/status/660154282197446656
Looking at the phrase that OSU gave him with all those pieces of paper said “The Arrival,” I’m thinking he’s going to spell “The Commitment.” I think he chooses OSU.
“The Commie”
He must be an angrybeavs fan, he’s shouting out to Jack! :)
I see a t… and now want to know what you think a “Commie” is.
Someone who gets baited even easier than I do
Baited by what?
Nice try :)
I think Garcia is a Beav. Look at the fonts — those are all the fonts the Beavs use, and the Beavs have been using posters and comics, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they came up with this puzzle idea.
That’s what I was thinking. He was impressed with the puzzle pages when he arrived.
How did he attain the puzzle for what he’s doing now?
My guess is he committed and then the marketing department came up with that idea. They have stepped up their game. The comics were really nice…recruits seeing themselves in the gear acting like superheros. Pretty effective stuff on both the conscious and subliminal levels.
If he winds up going to Utah this will be embarrassing.
I think you’re probably right except for the marketing department part. Alot of the graphic artwork is done in-house by the coaches. Specifically, I think Coach Bigelow does alot of the creative, but i’m not 100% sure there aren’t others helping.
Pretty clever idea if true. Gives the recruit a big spotlight for his commitment
That’s a lot of work for one person. You gotta think some (or multiple) GA or intern is on the clock for that stuff.
Still… good work.
The timing cant be a coincidence either with the utah game tomorrow. A nice little poke in their eye before they slaughter us
I don’t even feel like watching the game, even though I will.
It’s supposed to be a monsoon here tomorrow, and I’m looking for excuses to get out and do yard work or something instead of watching it.
Came here to post this, it looks way more like our marketing materials than Utah’s.
Here’s film on the latest commit Murray:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSanpqrKDUI
I am not too impressed. Look how thick, short, and somewhat bow-legged his legs are…I’m not making fun of the guy for it. It’s out of his control. But, I don’t see how that translates to Pac 12 play. I feel this is the first Riley-esque recruit who is quite a reach.
Agree, doesn’t look fast enough to play LB at the college level, appears to dominate because of his size and strength and those advantages disappear at the next level. I watch his Jr tape someone posted earlier and he is getting beat down field on kickoff coverage and chased down from behind on a long run. Does appear to have a good feel for the game vs being just the most talented kid on the field that is using his athleticism to make plays.
I fail to see how he’s Riley-esque though. He’s already 40 pounds bigger and three inches taller than any Riley project. If he’s what fills in for depth, then we’re already doing better. Put a bunch like him on the field, and tell them to just go blow up stuff.
I wonder if they needed to offer him to create a pipeline/land another recruit (i.e. Garcia)…
With limited scholarships this cycle it wouldn’t make sense otherwise.
I see a ST/scout team player here, but the services have him at 3-stars, so maybe I’m missing something. His lower body looks awkward (stout, bow legged, etc), and that is a lot to overcome in many aspects, including injury. Maybe he has some intangibles that will help the team.
If he’s going to be a hole plugging MLB then having good instincts and a stout base is a good place to start. Should be able to add the 20 lbs of upper body muscle without losing much speed, get out there and crack some skulls.
I agree. His 40 time has sources of 4.56 and 4.84 that I saw. I thought he looked like a wrecking ball with a stout base. I also thought he looked quick with a solid start when running. I definitely think he lacks the top end speed and won’t be catching many from behind on long runs. His skill set is what you would expect for the most part for an inside linebacker, which is what he said the coaches wanted him for. I think his shear strength will still translate well in college. We haven’t had very many 250# inside linebackers recently and he could easily be one as he is already listed 6 foot 3 inch and 240# by scout and 225# by rivals. I can see how his body type is kind of awkward, but it actually may be benefit is some ways.
Take a look at his Sr. highlights. Looks a lot faster than his Jr. year.
Back on topic: live hoops practice

Edit: looks like it just ended.
Malcolm looks good. That’s some strong, efficient play.
Speaking of Fonts, Garcia’s puzzel looks more like Washington State Cougs font than anything. Noticed more than a few Coug’s tweeting at him lately, like they’re still in it.
Maybe he’s going to pull a big surprise. Who knows.
The “S” and “A” and “G” are nearly identical to Coug Font.
It’s Nike. They do things on the cheap and call it cutting edge. If you have any doubts, Wazzu’s fonts all have the strange pointy part on the top left, not the top right. Take a look at the 2.
Yep. The 2 is definitely Oregon State font!
Watson Creative out of Portland does all their media now. Nike doesn’t have much to with that side of operations anymore. Although the founder of Watson is an old Nike designer so that might explain the similarities.
We’re talking about the fonts. Each is different, but only with little tweaks. I’m assuming Watson is using fonts associated with whatever client they serve.
That would be a big kick in the nuts if that happened.
He hasn’t even visited Washington State, and those are OSU fonts.
It is the same font as this: http://www.oregonlive.com/recruiting/index.ssf/2015/10/prediction_isaac_garcia_former.html
Actually… just the number matches. But you’re right. The other fonts have been on previous materials.
Notice O-live edited the photo… or got an original from the source?
sorry… pic… you can tell I’ve never been on the interweb before.
We gave Nemec the original.
Adding the fonts was a way to dissuade mamma machado from lifting material. She likes to steal, then claim how hard she works for her subscribers.
I need subscribers. How do I get that job?
Pay me money so I can hang out on a college campus… um… for you.
Do I see a jackedbeavs.org in the future?
Is that anything like those shitty Jacked Doritos?
If I get people to pay me $10 per month, I could go babble incessantly over there. This makes me wonder about my current business model. Why am I babbling incessantly for free?
My ten bucks is in the mail…. :)
When I get it, I’ll start.
Don’t send your money yet. He didn’t say he’d go babble over there *instead*
Crap!
Is exclusivity required? Can’t I babble in bits here?
I would call it marketing.
How about this, Jack: Supply and demand says if you withhold the supply of your babble, you can charge more for it. Let’s get that babble price up to a million dollars per rant. Sound good?
Yes… but trickle down? People will aspire to be me, therefore they will act irrationally and just give me money in the expectation that I will actually do something for them.
People are just so so very stupid sometimes. I could go advertise that I have a subscription site and actually get people to give me money on PayPal within the hour. If I invoke some deity, I could do it tax free. It doesn’t even matter what topic is chosen. People are that stupid.
Unfortunately, that’s not my cynical take.
No no no, you just decreased the going rate for your babble!
Let’s try this again :)
For speculation to take hold, don’t I need to make my babble enticing as a day trade?
Too easy……
Apparently she actually did use the watermarked version in her lodge today, then later removed it after realizing it came from this site. Curious if any blitzer on here can tell me if still using this one from nemec’s story? Because again, that would mean she used it without permission.
You’d think she would just simply ask, probably say yes. Instead she just takes. What’s the saying? “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness later than it is to get permission now”
Then she turns around and accuses everyone of stealing her “inside info”, which she steals from sources we now know, takes the profit, and without any kickback to them. But oh what she does for her readers! The fools who pay for that…
Now her on latest podcast she likes Nick Mitchell. Week 5, she loved Seth Collins.
slut
Now now, the Machado heart is a fickle thing. You know how it is, first she gets taken in and infatuated with the flash and earrings of Seth. They meet up, have some nice interviews together… She believes with all her heart he’s the one. But then time goes on, she matures, and realizes she wants a man in her life with a little more QB substance. Sure she didn’t give Nick a second glance back in week 5 when she was young and foolish. But now she is thinking about settling on a man to lead the offense for the future.
Classic, really, nothing wrong with that :)
That was brilliant.
But you wasted it on Blitz.
I guess you can’t put genius on a schedule.
Then again, the mundane are often the most accessible, if not most colorful. Rich fucks think they are edgy because they prop bet with others’ lives. Poor people live that bet.
Get it?
Bet?
Copyright law is weird stuff. As I understand it, once you send someone something via email it becomes their property. So you editing Garcia’s pic is fine. Nemec editing yours is fine. But a copy off the web requires, at the very least, sourcing and credit.
I don’t really care in this instance other than the profit-taking aspect.
Garcia looks like the real deal, and he was a USC commit. I’m surprised he’s not a 4-star. Wonder if he gets a bump at some point. He’s a 5.7, which is the highest rated 3 star possible.
If Garcia commits, there could still be one more commit this week. Def. End Shemiah Unutoa-Whitson has said he plans announce his commitment soon. Since we’re his only listed offer, I think I like our chances….
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4681942/shemiah-unutoa-whitson
Going to Michigan.
? Both ended up Beavs I thought?
Anyone know if the Beavs will be playing anyone in a “secret” scrimmage this year?
It’s on an ESPN article published already, but a little over a month ago Coach T told me and some other people that we have a closed scrimmage against Portland tomorrow.
The article is for paid subscribers. Appreciate the info
Good get.
Garcia is a beav per his Twitter
Isaac’s a beav!
Garcia a Beav
OT: Surprise..(really)…..Lindsay tweets link to Brenda Tracy’s own account in SI of the rape under Riley’s watch. Must expect readers to focus only on Tracy’s classy last two paragraphs and not on the entire story of the crime and “consequences”.
I was surprised she (Brenda) gave Riley, along with Pres. Ray, equal credit for, “healing between me and Oregon State”. This after outlining MR’s original response. She is a strong lady and has gone a long way toward putting that crime behind her.
Tracy highlights the need for action at next weeks meeting between school presidents and the Commissioner. Will Dr. Ray bring this up? Will MR weigh in from afar?
http://www.campusrush.com/oregon-state-brenda-tracy-rape-1430373340.html
I’m hoping Riley loses to Purdue and is never heard from again.
I’m hoping Riley loses to Purdue, but I do want to hear the ensuing press conference.
“Well, uh, gotta give credit to Purdue… They’re a heckuva football team. I think we just, uh, needed to make…ya know, make more plays. Huh? No, I’m not planning on making any, um, staff changes…*chew chew*”
Call me capital obvious but the difference in recruiting between the old gang and the new staff is light years apart in a good way. This is how you build a successful program. I would not be shocked if we get a couple of more Chandler kids before signing day. I’m not giving up on Henry yet this staff has shown they can close on big time talent even with not having a airport and all the rain.
Capital obvious….there, I said it.

Quick Update:
From Danny Moran of the Oregonian:
Oregon State QB Seth Collins did not travel with the team to Utah, per a team spokesman. The decision was injury-related (knee).
4:57 PM PDT 10/30/2015
Injured his knee, while stretching.
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2015/10/seth_collins_oregon_state_beav_5.html
Comment on O-live from OSU85v2, “He’s way too young to hurt himself stretching… That’s an old guy thing. That and hurting yourself sleeping which doesn’t draw as much sympathy from the wife as it should. “
Cold stretching is no good. Dynamics 1st, gotta get the blood moving
True. So, what possibilities remain: 1) Seth doesn’t know this, 2) Seth knows but does not think this applies to HIM, 3) For whatever reason, Seth stretched cold AND hurt himself so badly that he cannot recover between early Thursday and late Saturday afternoon, 4) We aren’t getting the entire story.
At this point, I’ll go with #2 and #4.
I wonder if the team does stretch cold or not. The more recent info is that it’s not helpful and can lead to injuries. In Seth’s case, I think he has an injured ego and coach advised he stay home to think things over and make a decision.
Possibility #5: Shit happens
That’s possible, too. Injured rectum?
Rectum……….hell it killed em.
More vegetables
whoosh
YA I’ve had a tight muscle “pull” because I was young and dumb and stretched cold. 19 is a “wise” time haha
Was it so bad that, had you been in Seth’s position, you’d have felt it necessary to miss the trip?
What about missing the opportunity to encourage your teammates and to get some “mental reps”? Or even, just be part of the TEAM?
While TC has defended SC before, I don’t think he’s doing so here.
Expecting we hear news from Whitson eather tonight or tomorrow. Would cap off a pretty productive recruiting week on the defensive side of the ball
Whitson is committed now.
I think he caught the coaches off guard a little with that commitment coming tonight. I think they expected him to take one more official visit to another school first, but he decided not to. I’m guessing from the lack of coach tweets going out after this one, that we can consider this commit “unofficial” at this moment, but it will probably stand.
0 stars. Is this guy any good? I haven’t watched film yet.
2* on Scout. Here’s his most recent film. I still haven’t checked it out. You have to think they were fairly high on him since the used an official visit to have him check out campus last week. Joah Robinette was another 2* guy at DE. I think they are grabbing a few guys who they think can be developed and will grow into their frame in another year.

unrated.
Is anyone besides me not buying some of these injuries and maybe some of the players are being disciplined internally instead? For whatever reason?
Yeah, like Collins asshole being disciplined internally right?
You have a strange fascination with assholes. Collins’ in particular.
Do you not know who I am?
A sodomite?
I finally get why you’re posting here. You feel safe since we don’t have an airport.
Get it?
Airport?
Maybe by you since you have such a man crush on him. Turd stabber is that you?
100%, and I love that Andersen doesn’t put up with their shit.
Agreed. I don’t know if they have ever come out and said someone was left behind for disciplinary reasons. I feel like a lot of “injuries” are happening to players with bad attitudes or the ones who can’t/won’t give 100%.
it’s a cover story; just like Grimble and Storm. It’s pretty clear Seth didn’t take the demotion (which it was effectively) well and I’m guessing he faked the injury thinking in his juvenile way “that’ll show em.” Here’s the thing though: since Collins not only did not progress but regressed, and made the offense all too predictable, with him on the pine (or in Corvallis, same diff) we get BOTH a better run game and passing game. The first, because Mitchell will hand off to Nall or Storm or whomever on the read option rather than hogging the ball, and when he passes, he’s 10-15% more likely to connect with a receiver. It seems clear now in retrospect that the staff thought Collins would both show better judgment on the read option and pass game with enough game experience, but neither happened. We can question why it took so long for someone other than Seth to get some serious playing time, but better late than never as the saying goes.
Oregon State is probably my No. 1 right now, seeing as how I could maybe come in and start immediately. That, to me, is amazing.”
One of the biggest selling points, for Unutoa-Whitson, was the the coaching staff sold him on substance, not flash.
“The coaches are telling me that if I want to come for the materialistic things, don’t come,” he said. “I’m buying in to this ‘starting young and making a new team’ thing. They are graduating a lot of seniors and it’s a young team. I want to make an impact real quick, get the opportunity to display my talent.”
Despite his low rating as a prospect, Unutoa-Whitson has been highly productive on the field, registering 12 sacks as a junior.
Oregon State now has 15 known commitments in the class of 2016, but with four defenders added to the mix this week, it’s clear that number could rise at any time
http://www.oregonlive.com/recruiting/index.ssf/2015/10/oregon_state_beavers_add_2nd_c.html#incart_river_home
Sounds to me like the coaches are selling early PT and an opportunity to start. OSU IS NOT graduating a lot of seniors. But some of the non seniors aren’t Pac-12 caliber talent. My two worthless pesos
I wish they were graduating a lot of seniors (oops, whiskey already covered that error).
12 sacks is good. I wonder why he has no ratings.
Got think there will be more attrition. Moala going on a Mission now. Missions, transfers, quits, and academic casualties. Sign more greyshirts, etc
I wonder how many seniors will pull a Mulaney and go the graduate transfer route? Thinking Smith possibly?
:::fingers crossed:::
quite possibly. another Riley underachiever
We’ll end up with 20 in this class at least. Graduation, transfers, whatever it takes.
I would interpret his statement to mean graduating seniors at his position and the defensive line. There are 2 senior defensive ends and 2 senior defensive tackles. So looking at it position specific makes it a lot of seniors graduating. Heck, that is about 25% of total seniors.
Someone on blitz is alluding to Collins probably transferring.
To a school with a different stretching routine?
Cardinal Stretch University
Didn’t Wazzu have a qb with the last name Kegel about 10 years ago?
Yeah… backing up Gesser.
To a D2 team with no WRs?
Man, I saw through that hurdle day 1. You can’t sell this asshole snake oil.
Enough.
He’s a dead horse.
Let’s move on.
Thoughts on the commits from this week?
I like em. I like em a lot.
How about this month?
Pretty good month!
Nebby/Purdon’t at 9am on ESPNU in the battle for the basement in the B1G west division tomorrow. Don’t miss this epic showdown of ineptness! If Simple Jack can lose to an FCS team twice, he’s got it in him to fuck this one up against a team as bad as Purdon’t (they’re averaging 14 pts per game in B1G play)
Then there’s this gem………………..
