I see CSNNW has a general livestream link on their site. have never used it before, but seems unlikely you’d be able to stream the game without a subscription to comcast. I’ll paste the link on the oft chance that it actually works
He has a brace on his shoulder and got called for a BS foul on a block he completely owned. He also got punched in the gut and shoved Much in return, garnering a DT for the two.
I wonder if the frosh will play lights out tonight because of the venue. Rice has no end bleachers. Well, they might have them on one end now. There’s the old school exit with balcony on one end. And the other end was a rec court with a big curtain, but it could certainly be a space for bleachers. Otherwise, it’s my high school gym… and likely yours.
It can get loud, though, if the students are still behind the visitor bench.
That seems so unfair to have the students behind the opponents. They should always be on the opposite side. That should just be a thing that is done. But oh well, shouldn’t be too intimidating either way.
I couldn’t remember if Duke’s student section was behind the benches, and it’s not, their set up is pretty similar to ours. They just win and we haven’t. Except their camera is facing their student section, like I wish ours was. Usually that looks super full because of the students and whatnot.
Easy solution, put the benches on the other side and move the students so they’re in view of the cameras.
Or move the cameras to the opposite side of the arena and keep everybody sitting where they sit. It can’t be that hard to move the cameras, right? I haven’t been to Gill in awhile, but isn’t each side essentially the same set up once you get out of the lower bowl? Is there no room for cameras on the other side?
I’m on the east coast for work this week and would greatly appreciate a link (when it arises) for the OSU/UW game on Saturday. PAC-12 Network doesn’t seem to exist in bars east of the Rockies.
Beavers used to be all lover Northern and So Cal. The fur trade int the early 19th century wiped away most of the population down south. That is a large reason for the decrease in wetlands and droughts in recent time. Bring back the Beaver!!
I’ve noticed one “Ukrainian friends” site has the game listed, but you are on your for the research. If any of you get something called “Get TV” on over the air TV or from your provider their regular programming is sometimes pre-empted for the American Sports Network. I can’t find whether that will be the case tonight with this game. I usually see hoops being aired on the weekend on that network mostly.. I’m going to have to listen on the radio, one of the kids has hoops practice.
Wow we look so terrible on defense this I’m embarrassing. I thought we wanted to hang our hats on defense? If we can’t guard Rice University guards then imagine what Kansas and other teams will do to us.
Beavers Twitter states they’re getting homer’d by the refs… Rice in bonus, but only 3 fouls called on them. Can’t watch, are we getting homer’d or are we fouling more because we’re being out athleted?
Stops is all we need! Horrible reffing. I’m taking the time right now to say how bad Olaf is. He doesn’t board and doesn’t score. I can’t wait till jarmal gets back and I never have to see him play on a basketball court again.
He’s a high post pass through and a help side specialist (intended). Once he accepts that role, maybe he takes the lid off and gets to add green lighter.
Beavs pulling away a bit, up 11 at the half. They slowly built the lead through most of the first half. Good sign, considering they seemed fatigued early on.
Beavs are over 50% from the field and 3pt and over 88% from the line and it feels like they can play a lot better. They withstood Rice’s energy to start the game and like Angry said, looked sluggish but have bounced back. The D tightened up the last 10 minutes and I fully expect them to bring it the 2nd half.
Beavs are going to win this one. Good win considering the short rest and travel, imo. I know it’s Rice, but still good under those difficult circumstances.
UCSB is going to be well rested and the Beavs aren’t, so that’s another tough one.
I think the beavs are tired. Played Tuesday in Corvallis, now they’re in Texas on Thursday. Not easy. Probably slacked on D in this game and that made Rice look good.
One game closer to that elusive NCAA tourney. A good team guts out a meh game like this (boring matchup, tired, travel, etc) and that’s what they did. I thought it was impressive overall. Even fine to give up the big lead if it means conserving energy for Saturday.
was only able to catch a few minutes of the 2nd half on radio. Decided a massage was more important. No Beavergopher i did not get a happy ending. At any rate, doesn’t matter if you win by 1 or 100. It’s a win and that’s all that matters. I had a sneaking suspicion Saturday was going to be the more difficult of the two.
idk, I didn’t ask. I’d like to be able to continue visiting this particular establishment. I did however ask the gal after my last massage if a dude had ever popped a boner on her while being massaged. The answer was yes. On many occasions. Thank god I am not one of the many. If you’ve ever wanted to know, well, directly from a massage therapist
You raise an issue that I’ve heard about but never taken the time to investigate and that’s how nurses deal with erections. Based on the following it would appear that what I heard was true.
I wonder if the masseuses use the same technique? I’ll leave that up to you to find out.

My mother, a nurse during the 1960s, said she and her coworkers used to carry a metal teaspoon around the wards with them in a pocket. A quick whack of the back of the spoon to the bell-end, and no more stiffy.
———-
I’ve got quite a few friends who are or have been nurses or doctors and I’ve heard them mention or discuss this a number of times – describing either a flick with a wooden tongue depressor, or a sharp tap with a spoon or a touch from the cold metal handle of a pair of scissors or forceps.
Ok, gotta ask….. I could see what looked like female flesh in your avatar, so I saved it and zoomed in…..dogs face, female ass in the background….and some out of focus words. So now my dirty mind wants to know whats said there…..
I try to think about the fate of western civilization but….
no. since I paid for the massage I think I could be prosecuted for soliciting a prostitute. Oh what a scary world it is out there. I almost feel sorry for guys 15 years or more younger than I. Almost. Because most of them are self centered twunts anyways
Just read the article to know how fucked up our legal system is. This is what we spend our money on… this and jail… yup… $200b on incarceration alone. Imagine even two more percentage points taking no pleas. That would make it a 96% plea rate… and likely still a 5-8% rate of innocents pleading guilty.
There just is no pretense of law remaining. It’s a bunch of knee-jerk laws made by tough on crime idiots 30 years ago. And now those laws are politically radioactive.
Yet those who are most liable for that outcome would have us believe it’s about justice. They say things like, “Justice isn’t about right or wrong, fair or unfair.” Sorry, anyone who believes that also thinks perseveration is the definition of insanity… or some similar fallacy.
Point is, it’s law that isn’t fair or right, not justice. Justice is and always has been justice. Law is made by people.
What was most encouraging for me was the Beavs force in the middle (Eubanks) was almost a non-factor tonight because of foul trouble and yet the team persevered.
I can’t help but get my hopes up re the prospects for this team a year or two down the road.
A place you don’t want to go. Unless you deal in gun trafficking, drug trafficking, human trafficking, stolen identities, really depraved shit. Or you could goggle it for a better explanation.
It can be all that. But it is also reality based. Believe it or not, there are people out there who have hybrid seeds and know Monsanto can’t know. I know it sounds like impossible funny stuff. But that’s the American Dream. Find someone who has an awesome idea then buy them out. If they don’t sell, use daddy’s money to leverage them until they do sell. If that doesn’t work… yeah.
Right now as BlackBandits points out it’s a place populated by outlaws.
Unfortunately the way things are going the dark web might be a place where the folks who want to speak freely and want their freedom might have to hang out.
It very well could work out that we the people (not the sheeple) end up being considered by the establishment to be outlaws.
The “interesting times” that the Chinese curse refers to appears to be upon us.
And if you try to make the deep web illegal, it will just be illegal. It won’t go anywhere. In fact, it might make more money. But it’s not like it will be hit in any way.
Right minded people….. lol. You do realize all the ISIS folks think they are the only right minded people. Kinda like the term “terrorism”. All in the eye of the beholder. One persons terrorism is another persons righteous military action.
The sheeple are always considered a lesser threat, until the difference in life between them and the rulers becomes too great. Then revolution just starts up. The rulers seem to repeat that, thru history. But we are a good ways from that in this country.
And humanity has been experiencing “interesting times” forever…. now is a pretty benign time, actually. The 50’s, for example, had folks looking over their shoulder for the nukes to come in and end it all. Dont see that on the horizon right now. And no terrorism going on here. Hasnt been since 9/11, and that wasnt all that scary. Up the airline security some and hasnt happened again. Was a stunt, really. And the thing in France was pretty insignificant. 130 killed? Tens of thousands die every year here in auto accidents. 130 probably die every day in the Middle East., on foot. And we are not currently waging some idiotic war.
In all of this, the US is in an enviable position. We have oil and other resources of our own, we have a food bread basket, and we have no dedicated enemies on our borders (or even on the same continent). No other major power/well developed country can say that. Our cheap labor/main immigrants are hispanics, who basically like us. In Europe, the cheap labor is muslims and the heavy class structure in those countries keeps the immigrants from feeling like citizens. A powder keg, really.
So my opinion is that other parts of the world are in for …”interesting times”.
One persons terrorism is another persons righteous military action.
I think that sums up everyone’s argument always and forever. Interesting point about labor costs. Little Chinese preteen girls are still our cheapest labor. Just ask Nike. But the labor we see stateside is exactly who we hire then whine about.
Stanford lays an egg in the non-con. Thanks for that boys.
I’m liking a lot of the new rules. My absolute favorite is the emphasis on calling blind no-step picks as fouls. That pick has bugged me for at least a decade. It’s not a fucking pick. It’s a block if it’s not a hug. I’ve seen championships won on that stupid fucking rule-break. It bothers me.
Dawkins built a good strong team over the same time period CR tried at OSU. But he’s not a salesman. Collins at Northwestern knows how to get the right kids for the academic side. Amaker knows how to sell. Note how all these coaches are Dukies.
That said, our game tonight was an example of how the game will go from here on. We had a lot of hands in front, not on the sides. Checks are not allowed. Sorry if that’s wrong for your team. We were tired and/or lazy. I vote the former. But I also vote the latter. Grow up boys. This is what you do. If you want to play on the next level, this is what you will do for months on end.
Put it in your heads. Get it right. This is what you do because this is what you want to do.
I guess the same could be said for football… except Riley probably had a bunch of promises to just guide young men through school in some honorable way quoting stuff about loyalty and such.
I’ll just leave that there.. Riley… loyalty… times twice… yeah.
I was gonna say something positive here about the first part of Riley2, but thinking about it, you cant do good work and then let it all go to hell, and still claim sainthood. You lose focus or whatever, call for that retirement party and leave things going at least well….
I was pissed when we hired him back, but in hindsight, he kept things going well for 5 years, which helped establish the program. However, he should have left the day Coach Gilstrap died, since he was the brains of the operation. It’s a clear drop off in results after that. Yeah, it took 2 years to clear out most of Gilstrap’s talent so we coasted for a minute, just like it’ll take 2 years to clear out the current Riley ‘talent’ and we’ll suck for a while.
Thinking about it I think the boys deserve some kudos tonight. They won a mere 2 road games last season. Both came in the pacific northwest (at Portland and WSU). To travel to Texas and win a game in less than 48 hours after beating Iona is an accomplishment. Hopefully there is no hangover for another game in less than 48 hours. UCSB will be the tougher of the two opponents. But for tonight, good job guys. Hope they can keep it rolling.
Right on, whiskey…. This looks to be a team that has some firepower, and if you want to get frenetic, lets go for it. They can play fast. And they look to like challenges….you catchin up? Ok, here we come again…
Man, if they could beat UCSB it would really give them confidence, but thats gonna be tough. So just play hard and learn. Looks to me like we got a winner on our hands…
I like this kid’s attitude. Was recently given an arbitrary 5.5 3* rivals ranking. Got his beaver bump early. Wonder if that means they know he’s committing soon? I dont want to check the number, but i think something like half of our 2016 class is rated as a “5.5 3*”.
The guys who are below that should file a complaint for not getting the bump.
Comcast Sports Northwest is airing the game.

Eh-mish

i had to zoom in on my phone to see what your gravatar says, I had to laugh. Nicely done
Thanks
According to stat sheet, Cheik Ndyae played six minutes against Iona. I don’t recall seeing him. Is he 100% or recovering still?
Looking forward to more Nall on Saturday. he is good to go.
He was a game time decision. He did play. Had a big wrap on his shoulder.
He has a brace on his shoulder and got called for a BS foul on a block he completely owned. He also got punched in the gut and shoved Much in return, garnering a DT for the two.

They do have a nice 2016 class. Harrison is a better big than they’ve had there for a long time.
That seems so unfair to have the students behind the opponents. They should always be on the opposite side. That should just be a thing that is done. But oh well, shouldn’t be too intimidating either way.

I would think a camera move would take some remodel, with platforms, etc.
Sounds like a good off-season project for our engineering students
I’m on the east coast for work this week and would greatly appreciate a link (when it arises) for the OSU/UW game on Saturday. PAC-12 Network doesn’t seem to exist in bars east of the Rockies.

Eubanks makes top 10 players you’re not talking about…….yet. Nice to see some OSU love.

This is on CSNNW for those that get it. 737 on Comcast in Portland
Those who have Comcast don’t get it.
Bummer that link above doesn’t work. Rice website wants me to register. No way. If anyone did register please share!
Its CBS, they charge a fee. You can find a stream online if you are willing to risk it.
What the hell is wrong with our athletic director?? Why can’t I see the game on TV? Am I the only hurt Canadian Amish guy?
It’s on, but it’s a regional channel not many people get
Broke down and bought the cbs sports $10 a month to watch the game. It’s pretty much a potato quality stream.. At least I’m watching the game :/
Beavs are struggling early on.
16-12, Owls
No one wants to play defense I guess.. Or rebound for that matter.
The announcer is awful. Periods of silence…. a no-no in announcing.
Rice putting it to us, so far….
Beavs lead 27-24 with a nice run.
Wow we look so terrible on defense this I’m embarrassing. I thought we wanted to hang our hats on defense? If we can’t guard Rice University guards then imagine what Kansas and other teams will do to us.
They were up early for travel and are playing on short rest. Not easy.
I had a feeling it would make this game tough.
Beavers Twitter states they’re getting homer’d by the refs… Rice in bonus, but only 3 fouls called on them. Can’t watch, are we getting homer’d or are we fouling more because we’re being out athleted?
The way the radio guy is talking, it sounds like a homer job.
Sounds like Tinkle is pissed and the Beavs might be waking up.
Beavs up 35-29 now. Very slowly extending the lead.
Stops is all we need! Horrible reffing. I’m taking the time right now to say how bad Olaf is. He doesn’t board and doesn’t score. I can’t wait till jarmal gets back and I never have to see him play on a basketball court again.
Gamecast is showing lots of attempted 3’s can they not get it inside to Eubanks?
Eubanks had 2 early fouls; hasn’t been in the game for a while.
Olaf must provide some sort of experience/veteran attitude when playing that the coach likes. He sure isnt giving a lot otherwise…. weird.
He’s a high post pass through and a help side specialist (intended). Once he accepts that role, maybe he takes the lid off and gets to add green lighter.
He’s in foul trouble again lol
Wow we can score the rock
Beavs up 9, timeout Rice.
Duvivier is hot
I didn’t think he was your type.
You don’t know anything about me….
Beavs pulling away a bit, up 11 at the half. They slowly built the lead through most of the first half. Good sign, considering they seemed fatigued early on.
Free throws have improved, that’s nice to see.
If it’s like the other two games this year they will get better in the second half
Another good finish at the end of a half, sign of a good team.
Beavs are over 50% from the field and 3pt and over 88% from the line and it feels like they can play a lot better. They withstood Rice’s energy to start the game and like Angry said, looked sluggish but have bounced back. The D tightened up the last 10 minutes and I fully expect them to bring it the 2nd half.
Eubanks came out strong at the beginning of the 2nd half in the last game. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen tonight too.
Not now unfortunately as he picked up a dumb foul 800 feet from the basket. Sitting with 3 now.
So many ticky tack hand checks.
OT :
New QB target Detich Clark from Eastern Arizona College
https://twitter.com/JUCOFFrenzy/status/667538223221096448
And, Kongbo picks up a offer by hole.
He’s getting offers from everybody now. Half the SEC has offered, but he chose to trip us this weekend not Auburn. That is impressive in itself
It could be that he’s had a falling out with Auburn, a school everyone thought was his lock.
Not a QB at the PAC level, no way they see him as a QB. Athlete but not a QB.
Also listed as WR
I think 1 or 2 more steals and GP2 owns the record
even the audio is a bad stream…
Pretty amazing in 2015, right?
No kidding
We’re looking a little sloppy now, but I still can’t help but feel like we’re continuing to get homered by the officials.
Beavs getting called for a lot of soft fouls, in my opinion.
You’re opinion is fact.
That foul call on Olaf confirmed it.
And now they’re just completely destroying any sense of rhythm.
Beavs are going to win this one. Good win considering the short rest and travel, imo. I know it’s Rice, but still good under those difficult circumstances.
UCSB is going to be well rested and the Beavs aren’t, so that’s another tough one.
Is Rice better this year or is it being at home? Looking at the Beavs shooting stats, you would think they were up by 20.
I think the beavs are tired. Played Tuesday in Corvallis, now they’re in Texas on Thursday. Not easy. Probably slacked on D in this game and that made Rice look good.
Then another game next Tuesday at home
Even before that, a game @ UC Santa Barbara on Saturday.
Love these guys….. great effort on short rest!
Little Tinks probably got grounded if he shot under 90% from the line.
phew! Good road win, thank god somebody can shoot free throws.
3-0 baby.
One game closer to that elusive NCAA tourney. A good team guts out a meh game like this (boring matchup, tired, travel, etc) and that’s what they did. I thought it was impressive overall. Even fine to give up the big lead if it means conserving energy for Saturday.
Honestly… 2-0.
Two Tinks coming up on post game radio:

It’s a win and that’s all that matters. I had a sneaking suspicion Saturday was going to be the more difficult of the two.
Couldn’t talk the guy into it?
LOL! Well played
Sat game is going to be streamed here

Wtf? Is a stiffie so terrible a thing that we need to go all Sister Grace on it?
Is that bad enough a visual in itself? It shouldn’t be. It was reality for many of us.
Why is it a bad thing if a masseuse does his or her job so well a customer is that relaxed? It’s not like the actor has to finish it off.
Or are we on this kick where the tease needs to just accept that they must have sex because they are a tease… and then be honor murdered?

I think the courts might respond to my new found defense.
no. since I paid for the massage I think I could be prosecuted for soliciting a prostitute. Oh what a scary world it is out there. I almost feel sorry for guys 15 years or more younger than I. Almost. Because most of them are self centered twunts anyways

That didn’t take long too get more wins then the football team!

Stanford lays an egg in the non-con. Thanks for that boys.
I’m liking a lot of the new rules. My absolute favorite is the emphasis on calling blind no-step picks as fouls. That pick has bugged me for at least a decade. It’s not a fucking pick. It’s a block if it’s not a hug. I’ve seen championships won on that stupid fucking rule-break. It bothers me.
SMU isn’t a bad team. And Stanford has and will certainly take a step back this year. Monty is gone. Dawkins is no Monty
Dawkins built a good strong team over the same time period CR tried at OSU. But he’s not a salesman. Collins at Northwestern knows how to get the right kids for the academic side. Amaker knows how to sell. Note how all these coaches are Dukies.
And I don’t know how Larry Brown still has a job in the NCAA. I just don’t know.
It’s because he hasn’t been fired (or quit) yet…
The NCAA shouldn’t allow either of those to be an option.
That said, our game tonight was an example of how the game will go from here on. We had a lot of hands in front, not on the sides. Checks are not allowed. Sorry if that’s wrong for your team. We were tired and/or lazy. I vote the former. But I also vote the latter. Grow up boys. This is what you do. If you want to play on the next level, this is what you will do for months on end.
Put it in your heads. Get it right. This is what you do because this is what you want to do.
I guess the same could be said for football… except Riley probably had a bunch of promises to just guide young men through school in some honorable way quoting stuff about loyalty and such.
I’ll just leave that there.. Riley… loyalty… times twice… yeah.
… not that I’m complaining about either of Riley’s disloyalties.
Please… I am now, and was, and am now again, as I was, happy with an amazingly good upgrade.
I do have to give Riley1 credit. He left that program in better shape than he found it. That can not be said this time around.
Too bad he didn’t stay gone.
I was gonna say something positive here about the first part of Riley2, but thinking about it, you cant do good work and then let it all go to hell, and still claim sainthood. You lose focus or whatever, call for that retirement party and leave things going at least well….
I was pissed when we hired him back, but in hindsight, he kept things going well for 5 years, which helped establish the program. However, he should have left the day Coach Gilstrap died, since he was the brains of the operation. It’s a clear drop off in results after that. Yeah, it took 2 years to clear out most of Gilstrap’s talent so we coasted for a minute, just like it’ll take 2 years to clear out the current Riley ‘talent’ and we’ll suck for a while.
Thinking about it I think the boys deserve some kudos tonight. They won a mere 2 road games last season. Both came in the pacific northwest (at Portland and WSU). To travel to Texas and win a game in less than 48 hours after beating Iona is an accomplishment. Hopefully there is no hangover for another game in less than 48 hours. UCSB will be the tougher of the two opponents. But for tonight, good job guys. Hope they can keep it rolling.
Right on, whiskey…. This looks to be a team that has some firepower, and if you want to get frenetic, lets go for it. They can play fast. And they look to like challenges….you catchin up? Ok, here we come again…
Man, if they could beat UCSB it would really give them confidence, but thats gonna be tough. So just play hard and learn. Looks to me like we got a winner on our hands…
GO BEAVS!!!!
How many kids are making officials this weekend?
Handsome Tanielu
Jonathan Kongbo
Shemar Smith
Kaelin Himphill
Kayode Rufai
Trevon Bradford
John Bates
Maybe more?
I like this kid’s attitude. Was recently given an arbitrary 5.5 3* rivals ranking. Got his beaver bump early. Wonder if that means they know he’s committing soon? I dont want to check the number, but i think something like half of our 2016 class is rated as a “5.5 3*”.
The guys who are below that should file a complaint for not getting the bump.

Anatomically speaking, he got his Mons Pubis. That ain’t right.
That’s enough of that doctor speak Mr. Smarty Pants.
And does the Mons Pubis wear a different colored fez?
Is that near the fupa?
Fupas with… um… what’s the plural of fez?
The Grand Fupa!
Btw, what’s a fupa? Is that an acronym?
edit: oh
Hahahahaha
This dude has a very good offer sheet and is only 2 stars.

Additional notes from the Rice game:
-Tinkle had more free throw attempts than the rest of the team combined.
-Team only shot 54% free throws in second half.
-Big G had no rebounds in 13 minutes. Come on man!
-S Thompson had no assists in 14 minutes.
Just saw Kansas suspended one of their guards for 6 games. Should benefit the Beavs
