Silly Braggart takes it easy on a brother, like Iowa declining to put 56 on Riley yesterday, keeps it to a 21 point win, but not really that close. 48-28.
Nall should pull a McCaffery and sit it out to preserve his body for NFL or next year wherever he plays. Good day for a pregame “hamstring” injury.
63-10 Ducks. Not going to bother spending 4 hours of my time watching my classmates and neighbors get their asses kicked because of coordinators who don’t give a fuck.
I’m picking more with my heart than my brain on this one, but I think the Beavs win 31-27 as their road losing streak has to end sometime and it might as well be today. I think they finally put together a full game for 4 quarters and come away with the win. I think some of the comments from the Beavs this week were intentional in that they know the Ducks are one of the most penalized teams in the country and commit a few critical PFs during the game….Beavs are using those comments to get the Ducks too emotional for the game and will continue to make critical PFs to the Beavs advantage.
I also think that DG comes out throwing the ball to loosen up the run defense for the Ducks and that will ultimately help the Beavs get TT and Nall going. Big question mark for me is OSU’s defense? I’m not sure they can stop the Ducks running game and that could result in a very lopsided outcome in the Ducks favor. The weather could become a factor too so you just never know in these types of games.
Bottom line is….that road losing streak is bound to end eventually just like the Ducks 8 game winning streak over the Beavs last season….why not today? Beavs have nothing to lose and the Ducks will be looking for revenge and playing out of control emotionally in the early stages of the game. I look for the Ducks to get at least 2 PFs early on in this game.
Gonna need a big game from Bright and mayonnaise hungalu to contain the rush attack but honestly these ducks can’t stop anyone on d so watch Tyner have a huge day, Nall pounding away as the closer late. Beavs up early, 21-0
Especially with Bright saying Beavs have seen better backs than Freeman…bulletin board material w/freeman having chances to break some records today if I recall.
Arizona State has done background work on candidates, and Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin is believed to be a high priority should he become available. Anderson is also known to be intrigued by coaches with NFL ties, including Michigan passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton and Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, a Phoenix native, is also someone Arizona State is expected to have some interest in should it decide to fire Graham.
The only reason i might check into todays game is to see what type of stupid stuff a staff and team with nothing to lose might resort to against a team they hate. Picturing lots of late hits and confrontations. Maybe a coach tripping a player running down the sidelines. Hits out of bounds. Not saying I condone it, but I do anticipate it.
I’m checking in because it’s the CW…gotta watch it, even if it’s bad. At least some of it. I wish we tried Moran at QB. He’s already burned his RS, correct? So why not…dude has wheels and could be a difference maker. Might transfer anyway if he doesn’t fit the new system. I’m tuning in to see if we do anything wild like that. If we just go with running a bunch and Garrettson trying to throw. Won’t work. Might for a bit but DG will make errors eventually. Oregon has a bad D, but we have a bad O, and we’re prone to errors, so even if we’re good for a while we’ll fumble or throw an INT at the worst time. Their RBs and WRs are going to run all over our D. Oregon’s speed will be the difference. Our D can’t hang with that speed.
“Oregon’s speed will be the difference.”
Agree,
But wish I could agree with GreatSwammi above on uck PF’s being the difference. Just don’t see enough PF’s to offset the speed advantage.
My concern – based on what I read here – is Beavs may have checked out already on the season. Throw in coaching distraction and this could get out of hand.
If they run the ball well, it wouldn’t surprise me if they won. But will they be in to the game?
1. Take out Herbert. If he’s out of the game, their whole offense changes.
2. Score a lot. Will need probably 42 points to win the game.
3. Pretty much play the game of their lives.
I was surprised Herbert didn’t show more rust last week. IF (big if) Beavs could rattle him early we might see a couple ints, even with a patchwork crew at DB.
I think looking back on it, I’m happy for McM that he got out of the GA dumpster fire and is having such a successful year. Hoping Tedford doesn’t get poached and he gets to make another run on the MW next year with a full off-season with the team, he deserves it.
Looking back on our schedule, I still don’t think we are a bowl team just with him remaining on the roster, not with how poorly the rest of the team played most of the season. But I do see something like 5 wins if he had stayed, and can’t help but feel like they would have at least been competitive against the tougher part of the league. But, his success and how much of an impact he’s had on that Fresno team this season is just a glaring wart, a clear symptom of the disease of whatever was poisoning the GA well (preggo coeds?).
Mostly, I’m just glad it’s over (almost). I’ll look back on the GA debacle as one of the lowest points in OSU athletics history. Never would have imagined that was going to be the case when he was hired.
McM is a great person and very nice QB. Glad he got out for his own future. Not glad he got out as a Beav fan, because we’d have a handful of wins with him from the start.
That was a beautiful first offensive series. Lets throw a backwards pass near the end zone. It’s just so stupid, nobody would possibly expect it, right?
Defense gets called for Delay of Game. You know, that thing that never happens.
The real tragedy of this game isn’t gonna be the blowout loss, it’s going to be Freeman beating Simonton’s Pac12 rushing record. That pisses me off.
Well, that and our defense being unable to tackle, playing 10 yards off all receivers, and being unable to penetrate the Ducks’ offensive line. Or throw. Or block.
What a bunch of quitters. Revise to tackle, cover rec’s, fumble, penalties. What a pile of crap. Worst team I’ve ever watched in 50 years. Not going to be supportive no matter who they hire./ Done!
Hahaha, I said the same thing a couple weeks back. Riley’s enduring gift was this shitty class. At least the next coach will have some pieces to work with
Angry: I see Fresno State defeated # 23 Boise State. McMaryion went 23/36 for 332 yards. 2 TD’s and no ints.
ESPN has a clip of McMaryion throwing about a 55 yard pass (in the air), he receiver didn’t have to break his stride and took it another 25 yards for a TD. There were 2 defenders right by the receiver and McMaryion laid it right in there.
Beavs might be smart to milk the play clock as much as possible, just to limit time of posession for oregon in this game. This score is going to balloon on us so fast, haha
It was obvious when they threw the 15 yard flag on the first play they were paid off. Not that it matters. It might be 24-7 instead of 31-7. Sad Phil thought he had to buy the win.
Am OK with him as DB coach just because of his connection with Chad “Ocho” Johnson and Housh at Cincinnati. That and recruiting duties is all though.
Wonder if the hire is this Sunday or if Beavs really drag this out several more days. Disappointed they appear to have made no effort in talking to either Miles or Sumlin.
Baldwin could be a good hire with the right staff. Like the Lake for DC idea since they appear to have a connection. Throw in Troy Taylor or Aaron Best at OC and that is a pretty decent staff.
It’s too bad the worst team in the Country doesn’t get the #1 recruit in the Country. That would be a nice model, except for that kid who would have to play for OSU.
This is almost a joke. Punt fake that goes for 3 yrds, leaves Oregon on the 20. My, or my, have we gotten so bad. This will take years.. to fix, if ever.
Why are we even keeping score. All these kids are winners for trying their best. Let’s get them all a trophy and a pat on the head for a job well done.
Points scored, I’m thinking the 65 points from that Rose Bowl deciding game. Margin of defeat? I would have to do some research. I think the Ducks won once 44-0?
Who cares… It’s not their job to stop scoring…stupid Kevin should be doing a better job, and the beavs should stop bending over if they don’t want to take it up the ass
You keep bragging about having better information than the journalists, so if you really believe what you’re saying, post a screencap of the email, and blank out the identifying details of the sender.
This website is the last place that should be overflowing with baseless hearsay and rumors, and this simple step would show you’re not just making garbage up.
I don’t care what anybody says, he throws a very nice long ball. Smart decision maker also. Granted, he would not have that much time if he was still a Beaver, but he is better than anything on this pathetic roster.
Ducks might put up 100. Haha. I almost hope they don’t call the dogs off to let people know what we’re dealing with. All these players should transfer or told they will never play at OSU by Baldwin. All actual quitters, unlike McM, despite being in uniform.
What about Will Friend as OC and Danny Gonzales as DC?
Gonzales has trained under Long. Very interesting prospect. Maybe too much youth for a staff. Heyward would be a HR. The Fresno St guy is interesting, too. Who else has had production and is realistic?
Look through the list and come up with some names.
watching Garretson overthrow a guy long–he did that two or three times in his original start at Minnesota a year ago. We should have known then he didnt’ have it. he’s not keeping it on the option either. I guess he’s trying to stay healthy
So am I, hoping for 100 burger and possibly a devestating blow to the ducks, when, after the game, fortune cookie announces he’s taking the job at Florida
Beavs are hamds down the worst run P5 program in the nation and have been for years.
Ed Ray is a huge part of the problem. Doesn’t take college athlerics seriously. Thinks it is for shits and giggles.
Ed Ray’s time should be dwindling down. He has brought down Oregon State football to a greater degree than even the considerable decline Riley accomplished at Nebraska this year.
OSU needs a CEO of Sports and Ed Ray ain’t it. Baldwin will need a helluva staff to turn this around.
agree. Oregon on a 900 yard pace. You have to wonder what the half time conversation will be like in the OSU executives booth, you know, Ray, Barnes, etc. I also wonder if Gary is watching tonight and contemplating what he wrought
Sick to my stomach……Hall needs to have a meeting at half and throw some punches….. if he even cares at this point…. I always wondered what it looked like at the start of the 28 years of loosing…. I think I know now….
Baldwin may have a change of heart after seeing this. Sorry, but this team and staff appear to have quit before this game started. Terrible timing for a coaching hire leak last night.
which reminds me: why was a search firm necessary when it was going to take this long to make a hire anyway? Did Guerrero have a search committee? Moos?
It means that Barnes and Oregon State has few connections in the coaching world. Remember they are going to hire a guy for millions of dollars they will likely only have known for a week or so.
Look at their schedule and tell us which games they would have won to go 9-2 or 8-3 with Herbert. All of the sudden they are better than Stanford, UW and Wazzu?
I can’t tell based on these announcers, are we playing undefeated crimson Tide or buckeyes, or is this a 6-5 uck team? I realize the beavs suck but it seems like they’re blowing the green Phil’s pretty good
Son, we’d like you to come to Corvallis and play football for OSU.
Course, it will take us 2 or 3 recruiting classes in order for the team to be competitive so if you’re lucky and you red shirt, maybe by your senior year you’d be on a team that had a chance of winning more than 3 games a year.
No airport, but, we do have fat Lindsey to help sell the program, I mean, if she’s not a good pitch for the quality of the training table, don’t know what is….mooo
“Cory Hall just went after someone on the Beav sideline ( looked like an assistant) “what’d you say? What’d you say? Other coaches had to step between them….full scale implosion”
I commented being at the game last week that I saw players on our team being seperated starting a fight with each other on the sideline…. this seems to be even more of the same…
and yet that idiot Travis Demers was talking after the last game about how the team was rallying around itself. everyone like everyone else. probably because there’s no one around to keep them accountable. but then given the coaching situation, how would they ever learn about accountability?
I mean, I don’t understand this. The team was at least semi-competitive in most games last year (Colorado was a blow out). Was the team leadership basically Stanton and Decoud? Were they able to rise above shitty, dysfunctional coaching? There seems to be something more to this. I guess the media doesn’t care.
The OL graduates weren’t replaced by equivalent players. The D was already thin and the coaching staff was not able to recruit the required DL players.
Telecaster mentions McM transferring was “the beginning of the end”. He saw it, I saw it, GA and many here didn’t. Sad. Season, and GA’s career, ended that day.
Hall was the right choice for the interim. Do you think any of the other coaches would have inspired the players to play hard in the first couple weeks after Andersen left?
He was gone the day he became the interim. It was clear Anderson was awful, and just like Taggart did before this year, the whole staff must go with a new coach
The only hope is like someone said earlier that this embarrassment leads to a thourogh deep look into all aspects of OSU athletics….improvements can and must be made…..
concur. wipe the slate clean. if you could start over with players I’d wipe out all the scholarships and start over like a self inflicted football “death penalty.” After all, suicide is legal in Oregon
“DIRECTV highlights some of life’s uncommon pleasures: banging one’s head on a low ceiling, getting paper cuts, drinking spoiled milk, and being a beaver fan”
Yes, nothing. This is a non coached, QB less beav team. If that makes you think the ucks are awesome, hey, more power to you but talk about delusional.
Agreed. All players and all coaches please pack your bags tonight, and please wipe the lockers clean before you leave. We don’t want any leftover stink for the next crew.
After that performance, maybe beavs should consider self imposed death penalty for three years. If any of us thought Riley ran this program into the ground, then GA took a bulldozer and dug his way to China. I hope we clean house and make the correct hire….Jeff tedford at Fresno state would be my first choice but I won’t be disappointed with Beau Baldwin either.
Oh, got to give credit to Taggart or whoever on UofO spun it into motivation. And Hall should know better for giving the other team anything close to motivation
I think they took his rain coat comments as bulletin board material. The team also met on the middle of the field pre-game and Hal gave a speech which they broke with a “fuck the ducks.”
If we don’t get an announcement tomorrow it must be because they are waiting to interview people still.
If it’s Beau there’s no reason to delay (unless they’re having trouble working out the details).
The December 3rd date definitely means it could be someone coaching next week. Harsin or Tedford seem like they would make the most sense. Tedford was interested in the opening last time and he has had an amazing year.
I think Tedford might actually be my top choice. I think he could definitely get the program back on track.
I can list 20 coaches that you would look at and say, “Yeah, he makes sense.”
I don’t have “one” per se.
I like Mike Norvell. I’m biased. imet him two years ago, and he is engaging, but not a salesman. I would accept Schiano, Moorhead, Brohm. Narduzzi, Wilcox, Yurcich, Kwiatkowski, Bloomsbury,
The pushup thing was so funny. While the Duck was humping air and not even bending his elbows, the announcers actually said “he’s going down all the way, too”. More fantasy bullshit. God I wish someone related to sports actually spoke the truth even if it doesn’t support their made up narrative.
Why don’t you think he could transfer anywhere? Leach said he was the best RB in the Pac-12. I’m sure there are tons of teams who would love to have him.
Many people in the boxes were highly upset with the whole contrived “Cory Hall said we have fancy raincoats” pussiness.
Rightly so.
Many think fortune cookie is not long for his current job. Many think he kept his starters in against our second and third string just to show florida that he’s better than a morning frost.
Baldwin to OSU is a joke now.
Leach manages to lose yet again.
I was wrong about Jedford. He won a conference championship for once.
I know the dumbs will try to conflate that play with MM being there. MM did wel this year. MM was not why they won. More power t him for making a decision based on his own welfare, not his team’s welfare.
Beauner as our new head gives us maybe 10 wins over the next three years.
Tedford’s thing was producing “system QBs,” right? I remember that was the huge knock on Aaron Rodgers coming out in the draft.
I don’t think MM is a particularly skilled QB, and I don’t think he’d have been anywhere near as successful at OSU as he was at FSU. Still, it was a mistake to not start him IMO. He was the best we had, which isn’t saying much.
Yeah, MM is a bum right? He led the MW Conference in QB efficiency rating after being in the program just two weeks prior to the start of the season. If the Beavs had MM at QB, we’d have won at least 2-3 more games and been much more competitive. GA naming Luton as the starting QB and MM transfer killed any shot the Beavs had at a half ass season. Having experience at QB in the P12 conference is absolutely critical….the Beavs had experience with MM and then GA and one or more of his assistants effed it up. I’d love to see Tedford hired and bring MM back with him as a transfer as MM is only a Junior….
Back to the blame game and guessing why Andersen left w/o buyout: I’m rolling with the cheerleader affair and booze rumor. Juicy and plausible. When will we find out the truth?
Well that didn’t turn out as expected. I expected a loss, but not a complete 60 minute kick to the balls. Whoever comes in as coach has a long hard road. At least the next group of starters have their own bill board material for next season. What an absolute embarrassment.
We didn’t vote ourselves to be Kansas like Kansas did. We’re not far from it, as Kansas has proven.
But we’re a smidge away from doing the obscene financall things Kansas has done in order topretend they’re smart about… what I guess I will get fired for.
Rough year for Barnes to walk into. Started off with Luke Heimlich, followed by GA and now this coaching hire with slim pickings.
I’m almost more in favor of Ray giving Barnes the option to walk and then taking our time to start over with a new AD who hasnt been beaten down already. Really afraid we’re just going to dig a bigger hole .
Being in over your head at OSU (Andersen 2nd/3rd year staff) or someone who appears to be unstable (guess) = death. Plenty of people have done just fine.
I asked in the other thread and it didn’t get answered but are we sure Cal wasn’t the leak? Maybe baldwin confided in someone and they let it fly? The timing is right.
Barnes appears a more capable decison maker than Ed Ray to me. I’d prefer we give Ray the option to walk. Need a much grander vision and investment at Oregon State to find repeated success in the big sports of Football and Basketball. Serious lack of leadership from the University to develop a true roadmap to success. Our major sports are in the shitter. A new President can change the position on some of OSU’s priorities and strive for real success in major athletics in addition to academics. Football team and basketball to a lesser extent are the front door to the university. Ours says reconsider before entering.
Not banning him, but there’s an “ignore” button (small “x”) next to his name. Just use that. That’s what it’s there for, so people can choose who to ban themselves.
Beavers need speed on defense if they want to be competitive in the league. That’s why I think letting Barnes walk and hiring an AD who will bring back men’s indoor track will benefit the football team significantly.
OSU football shouldn’t forge an offensive identity that is similar to the Ducks, which is a high-tempo spread offense. That troubles me a little with Beau.
Rather, let’s go after a coach that runs the flex-bone offense. Forging an identity on beating the hell out of the opponent’s front seven for 60+ plays is a good selling point to quality linemen recruits and backs. A deep threat, a possession receiver, balanced tight ends and a mobile QB who can throw the deep ball well would be good enough to run ~75 plays a game.
Defense should be about stopping the run and jamming receivers at the line. Explosive plays will be given up, but so will turnovers and giving the ball back to the rushing attack would be frustrating.
If by winning you mean that even though this dumpster fire is out we have another one going (MBB) so that we can keep warm through the winter before baseball season starts, then yes.
That is until someone figures out a way to end baseball season with another Heimlich maneuver.
Yeah, Tinkle is probably hoping this football coaching search goes on for as long as possible so that no one notices the horror show that has become MBB. I guess Tink’s job is safe until “the children” all graduate? At least the coaches son’s get the team 10 wins instead of 5.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Yesterday’s performance is grounds for total and immediate termination. We’ve seen this one bad game mantra happen too much with Riley and Andersen. Get out.
Call me nuts but I like the idea of Niumatalolo and the triple option. It’s a unique offense (it dies include passing all you wishpettibone haters) that is hard to prepare for and no one else in the conference would run it. It continues a pipeline to the Samoan players OSU has been recruiting. It would put OSU in a position of having something no one else in the conference does. At this point, what’s there to lose by trying it? It solves offensive identity, making things difficult for other people, creates something unique. I’m down to see if it works.
Niumatalolo doesn’t make much sense with what we do know of the coaching search. The Army-Navy game is December 9th and I doubt that Niumatalolo or OSU would want to make anything official before that.
Honestly, if an extra week longer means the tight fit comes up I am okay with it. You simply CANNOT screw up this hire or you risk losing your fan base for good.
He was not only a losing head coach in his first stint. He also ditched the program at the worst possible time because he was not loyal to OSU in any way, shape or form.
But people at OSU apparently like to defend disloyalty.
Waiting to hear that Scott Barnes has made a half assed hire with unfavorable terms(because he lost leverage after letting the name of his new hire leak before actually signing the guy, doh!) only to cut bait and take the vacant position at WSU.
OSU again left trying to fill a vacant AD leadership role with a coach feeling left out on an island. The cycle continues….
This would seem to be a final “prove yourself” job for Barnes. He wasn’t at Pitt long enough to make a significant impact. He ain’t getting another Power 5 job unless he does incredible things at OSU.
Schools make bad hires all the time. We excel at it.
Never would have predicted Nebraska would hire Mike Riley away from us several years back, but they did.
I’m not spreading any rumors, the talk of Barnes leaving doesn’t make any sense. I am saying that Barnes needs to stay at OSU and help improve the key programs (Football and MBB) and maintain the legacy programs. He earned some merit at a non-Power 5 school, now he needs to do it at a major school. The football hire is his starting point and he better have a plan for a new MBB coach is about three years (or less).
Oh… and it was widely known that the Friday night Beauner announcement just fucked our team, as much as nobody wants to admit that. You all complain about them giving up? What do they have to play for after Friday’s news leak? Maybe self-respect while playing for a program that doesn’t respect itself?
Did you run out of Turkey Mash (with a fried egg) on top? Is that what has put you in this grumpy mood? I would put up a video of “Jackie Blue”, but alas, I don’t know how.
I’m the real thing and don’t you forget! I don’t now why I put up with you after the time you called me a racist on here and realized you “had the wrong person”, but I’m not going to let you ruin the pleasure I get from discussing things with Angry and the rest. These tangents you go on don’t reflect well on you, but you don’t care and that speaks volumes about you.
How much sexual predator talk, boner talk, wife beating, human trafficking talk would you consider to be ban worthy? You yourself say you don’t know… take a poll? I’m pretty sure you already know the consensus opinion
You have never been one who likes logic. You’re almost anti-logic with most comments. I think you want to think you’re an honest person. But you’ve not exhibited honesty with yourself for years on this blog.
Why don’t you tell us? You were the one that was hanging out at the suite level last night…. where money and decision makers are…. so you know what’s going on.
I’ve been a Beaver fan for over 30 years, and this is the lowest this football program has been in my opinion. Some may argue that it was worse during the 80’s -90’s? Keep in mind during the 80s and 90s OSU didn’t have the facilities, resources, or the expectations that they have today. I’ve never witnessed any team quit like that team did last night! President Ed Ray, needs to resign, retire, or fix the mess he’s responsible for. This administration isn’t serious about a winning football program, they only provide lip service and talk the talk during press conferences. Until this administration can convince me that they’re serious about football, I refuse to donate anymore time or financial resources to OSU football! I know that I’m not alone. Life is too short to waste on sh*tty football. I’m distancing myself, and I’ll casually observe from the outside. Being a fan of OSU is exhausting, with the exception of baseball and women’s basketball.
While only being a fan since 1987 gives you a pass for not knowing the brilliance of Joe Avezzano, it doesn’t excuse you from remembering Lynn Snyder.
You never donated shit. You don’t even let cashier’s round up your purchase to the nearest dollar. You’ll be here spewing your tartany bullshit for years to come.
Can you imagine if GA was a sexual predator and a racist wife beater (born with a silver spoon up his ass) who cons the elderly out of their money by providing a fake online university?
I mean… that would make him a worse person than any of the bullshit rumors that aren’t being reported by the likes of such ethical men named Canzano or Moran.
Sue him thousands of times because he’s a chiseler, and we have a POTUS.
Taking the anti-green goggles off for a minute, does anyone else think that Herbert will be better than Mariota? He looks like more of an NFL QB than MM did.
He does have a stronger arm. But he seems to rely too much on that arm. He made a bunch of suspect passes last night that a decent D would have picked.
He has better tools than Mariota, but I don’t know that he has the head. It can be taught, but I also don’t know that Nikegon has the coaches who can do that.
Over reliance on his arm likely related to fear of repeating his recent injury.
True points about the weak Beavs D and the question of whether phil’s coaching staff can improve Herberts decision making/football IQ.
He could be reverting to the mean that was expected last week in terms of just looking rusty. So the suspect reads might be compensation.
And let’s be real. Mariota had a great coaching staff who could just condition him to play against a bunch of college scrubs. You could see his progression from that kid who set his feet in one direction then literally moved his head in segments to “look off” the D before turning and throwing to where his feet were originally set. A D can’t read feet. Right?
You can see a lot of Mariota’s wind-up and release in Herbert. I’m pretty sure dude spent hours in his back yard emulating Marcus… to a tee. He probably could not have chosen a better hero for that part of his game.
I never understood the knock on Mariota…He didn’t make many mistakes, I thought he threw a better deep pass than did Mannnion – flatter, hitting receivers in stride instead of throwing high arcing passes the WRs had to wait for – and he seems humble and like a hard worker. His early NFL career isn’t too shabby playing in a very different offense and his relative success hasn’t surprised me at all.
Herbert is from Eugene, correct, with UO his only offer?
He is who he is. He was stellar when he played against college scrubs and could run and not get injured. Now he plays in a league where running will almost literally kill him, and his lack of training as an actual QB will catch up to him about when he collects on the end of his current contract.
I was wrong in my initial assessment of his NFL abilities. His arm has not changed, but his head is little better than I expected.
The “X” next to the screen name is the best feature of this site. . Now I don’t have to be subjected to Jack’s idiotic posts. I would recommended everybody else take advantage of this great feature Angry has provided.
I’m nowhere near that level yet. Everyone on here has some good insight every once in a while. While I think it’s a cool feature I’m more inclined to encourage reasonable debate and discussion. Preferably by example.
None of it is unearned. Thus, their manhood is now in question. This is a blog where they chose to be disrespectful of humanity and/or reason. But they don’t want the responsibility that comes with pissing into the wind.
I mean, it’s hard to blame them… since they’re a bunch of gun-runners who beat the children they imprison before selling them. Why isn’t the media reporting on their activities?
Quote from Eggers post game story. I’m posting this because, imo, what Hungalu has to say about needing coaches demanding perfection from players applies to the basketball program too.
Come on WT get off your ass and demand perfection from your players. Imo it’s either a nice guy or a coach and so far it appears that you’re trying to be the nice guy.
jmo
“…Hungalu praised Hall for coming in “with the right energy and mind-set to get the players to turn things around.” But he felt the Beavers required more.
“We needed that extra next step of coaching,” Hungalu said. “We needed a coach able to demand perfection from players, instead of just telling them to go out there and play your game, to do your thing. We can’t have one half (of the lineup) playing good and one half not playing good, because they don’t know what to do on the play. That’s inexcusable.
“But the players have to be able to take it to another level. They can’t expect to rely on the coaches all the time.”…”
And this, also from Hungalu: “We didn’t take the preparation seriously. We weren’t doing the right things in practice, and all of us — me, too — expected to go out there and play a lights-out game.”
The result of a “players coach” who was thrust into the IHC spot?
Attributable to a staff of short timers with drinking problems?
Due to players experiencing a season of turmoil?
Primarily, at the root, the fault of GA?
or??
Very telling quotes. Sounds like practice was a lot of joking around and having fun with coaches who don’t understand the game; then Hall expecting them to go play.
How the hell did they piece together good efforts vs CO and Stanford, though?
That’s what was so bizarre about yesterday. There was no rivalry game intensity, both sides of the ball looked clueless. You and I could have stood on the sideline and achieved roughly the same result. Was Stanford that bad without Love? Is Colorado that shitty of a road team? The Beavers looked like a bottom feeder FCS team yesterday. Why?
Angry has information that the coaches were drinking; questions are asked as to why the media doesn’t chase down this story.
IMHO the answer is simple. Angie wants access, Eggers has lost his and is spread thin, the “dampodcast” guy is clueless in most areas. That leaves Moron, the GT, and I suppose Parker (lol).
Moron doesn’t show the energy or smarts to be a true beat reporter. He had the Luke H. thing drop in his lap and was given extra assistance by the crew at the O on that one. I continue to believe a third party (disgruntled relative?) handed to him as a finished product; little actual digging required.
Any story on FB coaches drinking is likely to come from players or coaches (Hall) taking the initiative to get the word out, not from any reporter digging. That could happen fairly soon after the future of players/coaches is made clear.
If Moran really wanted his “signature” piece of journalism, he would investigate how U of O obtained the no. 1 recruiting class for fball and bball… follow the $$$$$$ trail
I don’t even think they should keep Hall. It’s stupid to me that Barnes and Ray think he should stay. It’s a very bad sign imo. As is the fact that they’re incredibly slow with this all. I think there’s a good shot we’re entering another dark age.
They need to replace this football program root and branch.
Heard some stories about chaos in the Athletic Department, in general. Split on many issues with some wanting power/control instead of working as a team. Some trouble makers in the department. That entire situation should be cleaned out.
Eggers should go “off the record” with Casey and possibly Rueck in order to get ideas on where/how to begin an expose’ on Athletic Dept chaos. He is the only scribe I’d expect to do a good job here; too bad he is spread so thin with Blazers, etc.
Is that all you got old man, try another diss perhaps? I mean it’s all cheap talk from you since you would never meet me in person, or would you? I’m down you can even have the first punch.. I’ll even come to you or pay for your gas to come to me. PM me if serious than we will see who says “ouch”. Lots of talk about toughness and calling people puddles, here’s your chance to prove it.
Recruiting role? Quite possibly.
However, what is sorely needed is a solid pipeline to the Poly community. That’s not in Hall’s wheelhouse.
A big part of any rebuild has to be the lines, both O and D. Not entirely dependent on Poly’s, but they seem to be a great starting point.
Disagree on building a non-LDS program around Polys, when they actually make it here they’re great but is seems like that rarely happens. I’d rather go all in on corn fed white boys from the Midwest and monster black kids from the south, at least they’re not brainwashed and will actually have a chance at not flipping to BYU.
You’re right, of course, there is no single recipe.
Riley, the gift that keeps on giving. His time at Neb pretty much screwed any chance of getting many of those corn fed guys!
I bet Beau is the top choice but they must be negotiating and there’s a good chance Beau won’t take the job. Baldwin has them bent over a barrel because if it’s not him I bet their list is not very deep or impressive.
I don’t have the time or energy to give this topic the effort that it probably deserves so…….
Is Dr. Ray and the athletic department being fiscally responsible?
As I recall bobbyd was given a raise which at that time made him one of the highest paid AD’s in the Pac-12. I see Barnes has a 6 yr contract for $850K/yr so I wouldn’t be surprised if the OSU AD position is still one of the most expensive in the Pac-12.
Then there’s GA’s salary which even if it panned out was probably more than OSU could afford. That’s if one is being fiscally responsible.
What’s got me off on this topic yet again is what I saw in another Eggers’ article “…Almost down to the wire on Oregon State football coaching search…” .
“…The Ducks are ranked No. 1 nationally by Scout.com in football recruiting for 2018, with 15 four-star athletes in a stocked-full class of 24. Trailing on Scout’s list: Ohio State, Texas, Penn State and Miami.
Oregon is ranked sixth by Rivals.com and 24/7 Sports.
In basketball, the verbal commitment by 7-1 1/2, 215-pound center Bol Bol — son of the late Manute Bol — from Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada, has propelled the Ducks’ 2018 class into the No. 1 spot nationally by 24/7 Sports.
Behind Oregon: Kansas, Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina. That’s pretty good company….”
——-
Obviously it’s not possible for OSU to compete with all of uo’s bling but, imo, OSU could nip away at parts of it and thus narrow the gap a bit.
Excerpt 2 (the bling part):
” …On Bol’s visit to Eugene, he was taken into the Phil Knight Room, “where they showcase all the new Oregon gear Nike is working on. What I saw in there blew me away. Shoes lined up on chairs. Custom Oregon colorway Jordans. Like 13 different jersey combinations. Nike stuff that hasn’t come out yet. Those Jordan 4 Oregon retros that LeBron was wearing recently … I was just going crazy in there, man. For a kid obsessed with shoes, that was like heaven.”…”
——–
It is what it is and the uofo can only offer x schollies in any given sport so OSU has to be able to compete with the rest of the Pac for the remaining candidates.
Excerpt 3 (more bling BUT…..)
“…Also: “The last thing I loved about Oregon was that the university has one of the biggest social media bands in college sports … I loved that Oregon and the athletic program want to have their own style and identity. I feel the same way.”…”
———–
Imo, the “social media band” is something that is doable by OSU and I’d bet that there are many other things like that which, if implemented by OSU, would help narrow the gap. That’s if Dr. Ray was fiscally responsible and didn’t overpay for AD’s, coaches, etc. etc.
Earlier I proposed that if OSU could find a coach that could recruit Pac-12 level players to OSU and was willing to take the job for about a million (or more) less than what GA was making then OSU could use the excess money to pay down the debt, pay for good assistant coaches AND improve the athletic facilities – – even things like a competitive social media band. Does OSU even have a social media band?
My guess is it wouldn’t be all that hard to come up with a long list of prioritized improvements on which the savings could be spent.
Imo having this kind of a plan could/would/should act as an enticement to the kind of a coach the Beavs would want to hire.
I am betting the main thing in the Phil Knight room is the cash that gets handed out. UO is 100% paying recruits/players to go there. I don’t care if its ever proven (and many programs do it) but they ain’t getting top recruiting classes without giving serious cash to the players directly.
Exactly, all it takes is some simple math. Hole is competing for recruits with schools that pay their players. Players commit to hole over those schools. Players aren’t giving up cash for nifty shoes.
Fitting that the last games of the GA regime at Wisconsin and Oregon State were losses with a 59 point margin. Too bad he didnt stick around to witness this one in person.
I mean… I guess I shouldn’t expect you guys to understand this since you think that GA was a drunk wife-beating pimp who owned a pizza parlor and shit.
That report meant we hated our players.
I don’t blame any one of them for leaving as soon as the quarter is over, given that level of disrespect.
Yes, agree he’s more impressive than Hall and Smith. There are a lot of emergency retread hires if we strikeout on Baldwin, and those guys would all be better than GA & the Goons. Don’t think it’s as dire as you think unless Riley/Banker are suddenly in the convo. Then it’s dire.
I’d actually prefer Smith to Baldwin at this point. I have no basis for that beyond a gut feeling (and I like Baldwin) but I just think Smith would put together a better staff at OSU and the staff is gonna be key for either.
OSU really needs to reach out to Lane Kiffin, the only HC they are gonna get is someone with baggage (like how WSU got Leach) and Kiffin fits that criteria. None of the other FBS schools seem interested in him (likely due to the baggage); OSU should be all in on Kiffin.
This is serious shit this time around. I’ve thought that the team needs a proven Power 5 HC and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have the best perception. I guess Kiffin is another one who fits the bill. That being said I don’t know if it’s going to happen.
Agree on Kiffin. Beavs have nothing to lose. He was just featured by Football Scoop as best turnaround of 2017 yet they stated unsure if any P5 was quite ready to pull the trigger on him. Then they say shit like next year for sure. That’s a gift gold bar wrapped in cheap newspaper and gives them a realistic shot at the guy while his demand has only creeped forward while the wins for FAU took a huge leap.
Beavs need to desparately shed the nice guy conservative image too. Like DE who had some defensive JC transfer guys with mean streaks and were ferocious. Nice just has equated with patsy for OSU. They would be much better off acting like a lion and get a coach who completely shifts what has been a lousy ‘safe’, conservative culture. Safe barely got OSU 1-11 this year and they were completely outplayed by PSU who ended up winless in the Big Sky.
Exactly, they need a coach that can back up a fuck the Ducks chant on the O at Autzen. They don’t need to run away from that attitude, they need to embrace it and find a coach that can deliver.
Yes, but they’re not competing for those recruits against OSU. It’s against Washington, USC, and National programs, and they’re winning…those are all more desirable cities, locations, traditions, etc.
BS, they are choosing UO over USC, UW, Alabama, etc….If UO is a Rolls-Royce they are turning down Bentley’s and Aston Martin’s for that Rolls-Royce. And I’d argue UO isn’t even a Rolls-Royce when compared to those other schools. It maybe a mid-range BMW.
Well, I have proof they bought a basketball recruit. I called the FBI hotline when they were investigating this and reported it twice, yet no call back…I told them I had names, the amount of money exchanged, etc.
Do you honestly think Beau Baldwin is a better hire?
I do agree that Kiffin wouldn’t be the #1 guy on the list but OSU isn’t getting the #1 guy on the list, I am certain most schools would hire Kiffin over Baldwin or Smith.
He shifts the culture which would be huge for OSU right now. Also has a chip on his shoulder and axe to grind against several Pac-12 teams. If you like winning and beating teams and attitude on the recruiting front.
I’m not convinced Frost will take them to the promised land. Might win 8 or 9 games, but they had that in Bo and went for Riley. Lol. I think Frost will be good…9 wins. He won’t be winning titles. Nebraska is just not a desirable location, and their tradition was 25 to 100 years ago. Their fans are delusional and won’t accept that, so they’ll sour on Frost eventually, too, but I think he’ll have a much longer leash since he’s one of them.
I think Frost himself understands that to some degree, I thought he might go to Florida. Greater long term upside. He’s not going to put up with a lot of this Husker nonsense, he’s kind of grumpy bastard.
According to a source close to the situation, Oregon State assistants were not relieved of their duties today in their meeting with Scott Barnes, who told them OSU is looking to secure a head coach by early next week.— Danny Moran (@DannyJMoran) November 26, 2017</
41-24 Oregon. Comfortable win for Ucks with Beavs only mildly making it interesting by staying somewhat within striking distance.
We’ve been consistently good at two things lately: giving up points and keeping it within two scores.
42-28 Ucks
With a 35-7 halftime score
Undershot that one!
Silly Braggart takes it easy on a brother, like Iowa declining to put 56 on Riley yesterday, keeps it to a 21 point win, but not really that close. 48-28.
Nall should pull a McCaffery and sit it out to preserve his body for NFL or next year wherever he plays. Good day for a pregame “hamstring” injury.
Sorry guys, but 56-16 ducks. I would love to be wrong
I think the spread will similar to Homefry’s prediction. I just don’t see us getting 16 against Oregon’s D today.
Beavs have quit and quacks are looking for payback. 52-7
Beavs 35 dicks 28
pussy snowflake brings up his penis issues yet again?
I began a break from drinking this week but I have a feeling the bottle of Hornitos in my cupboard might get emptied this afternoon.
I’ll just leave it at that.
63-10 Ducks. Not going to bother spending 4 hours of my time watching my classmates and neighbors get their asses kicked because of coordinators who don’t give a fuck.
34-27 Beavs. Aydon slips and falls on Herbert crushing his collarbone and the Beavs keep it on the ground to pull out the win.
I’m picking more with my heart than my brain on this one, but I think the Beavs win 31-27 as their road losing streak has to end sometime and it might as well be today. I think they finally put together a full game for 4 quarters and come away with the win. I think some of the comments from the Beavs this week were intentional in that they know the Ducks are one of the most penalized teams in the country and commit a few critical PFs during the game….Beavs are using those comments to get the Ducks too emotional for the game and will continue to make critical PFs to the Beavs advantage.
I also think that DG comes out throwing the ball to loosen up the run defense for the Ducks and that will ultimately help the Beavs get TT and Nall going. Big question mark for me is OSU’s defense? I’m not sure they can stop the Ducks running game and that could result in a very lopsided outcome in the Ducks favor. The weather could become a factor too so you just never know in these types of games.
Bottom line is….that road losing streak is bound to end eventually just like the Ducks 8 game winning streak over the Beavs last season….why not today? Beavs have nothing to lose and the Ducks will be looking for revenge and playing out of control emotionally in the early stages of the game. I look for the Ducks to get at least 2 PFs early on in this game.
31-27 Beavs…..
You are banned from sports gambling for one year.
Gonna need a big game from Bright and mayonnaise hungalu to contain the rush attack but honestly these ducks can’t stop anyone on d so watch Tyner have a huge day, Nall pounding away as the closer late. Beavs up early, 21-0
Especially with Bright saying Beavs have seen better backs than Freeman…bulletin board material w/freeman having chances to break some records today if I recall.
Does anyone out there has a copy of Dee Andros speech before a Civil War game? I’ve tried and can’t find one.. Could get me to play, for sure!!
How crazy is it that the Pac-12 South will be adding Chip Kelly and could be adding Kevin Sumlin as coaches?
From USA Today:
Arizona State has done background work on candidates, and Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin is believed to be a high priority should he become available. Anderson is also known to be intrigued by coaches with NFL ties, including Michigan passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton and Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, a Phoenix native, is also someone Arizona State is expected to have some interest in should it decide to fire Graham.
The only reason i might check into todays game is to see what type of stupid stuff a staff and team with nothing to lose might resort to against a team they hate. Picturing lots of late hits and confrontations. Maybe a coach tripping a player running down the sidelines. Hits out of bounds. Not saying I condone it, but I do anticipate it.
I’m checking in because it’s the CW…gotta watch it, even if it’s bad. At least some of it. I wish we tried Moran at QB. He’s already burned his RS, correct? So why not…dude has wheels and could be a difference maker. Might transfer anyway if he doesn’t fit the new system. I’m tuning in to see if we do anything wild like that. If we just go with running a bunch and Garrettson trying to throw. Won’t work. Might for a bit but DG will make errors eventually. Oregon has a bad D, but we have a bad O, and we’re prone to errors, so even if we’re good for a while we’ll fumble or throw an INT at the worst time. Their RBs and WRs are going to run all over our D. Oregon’s speed will be the difference. Our D can’t hang with that speed.
I liked our chances with Herbert out.
“Oregon’s speed will be the difference.”
Agree,
But wish I could agree with GreatSwammi above on uck PF’s being the difference. Just don’t see enough PF’s to offset the speed advantage.
Supposedly, Moran’s dad posted on blitz that Moran isn’t transferring.
I got this from a separate message board and cannot confirm since I do not pay for Blitz so take it for what it is.
My concern – based on what I read here – is Beavs may have checked out already on the season. Throw in coaching distraction and this could get out of hand.
If they run the ball well, it wouldn’t surprise me if they won. But will they be in to the game?
Just realized, with a win today, plus that big win over PSU, Beavs would own the state! Ha!
I predict the dux will set a new record for stupidest uniforms.
Keys to the game:
1. Take out Herbert. If he’s out of the game, their whole offense changes.
2. Score a lot. Will need probably 42 points to win the game.
3. Pretty much play the game of their lives.
I was surprised Herbert didn’t show more rust last week. IF (big if) Beavs could rattle him early we might see a couple ints, even with a patchwork crew at DB.
Noodle arm!
38-35 Beavs, Nall with another big CW performance. Comes down to the last possession. Choukair with the dagger as time expires.
I mean, 42-20 Ducks. Sorry, was dreaming there for a second…
Drinking game: take a shot every time the telecasters mention Royce Freeman breaking Simonton’s record.
Well at least something good happened today. Alabama’s about to lose. Saban looks like someone shit in his corn flakes.
Gotta love the Beavs giving a 15 yard penalty on the opening kickoff. They sure came to play!
It was for unsportsmanlike conduct so they probably are here to play… just going all out and probably too emotional
Sounded like it was Arnold. What a waste of space.
Did you catch those Impact Players? Our second one was “First Name Last Name” LOL
Saw that too. Ha, so disrespectful
Names redacted to protect the innocent? Spare them further embarrassment?
Was he a 4*?
I think about how I’m watching this game and am forced to wonder where my life went wrong
U guys hear the announcer say check that johnson. Lol
Looks like the Refs were bought off.
Imagine being so insecure that you have to buy off the refs against a Beaver team of this quality.
http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=21558414
And on queue, Garretson has a pass batted down. I’m gonna puke.
Look at that noodle arm. Great scouting by Jack and Gary.
I think looking back on it, I’m happy for McM that he got out of the GA dumpster fire and is having such a successful year. Hoping Tedford doesn’t get poached and he gets to make another run on the MW next year with a full off-season with the team, he deserves it.
Looking back on our schedule, I still don’t think we are a bowl team just with him remaining on the roster, not with how poorly the rest of the team played most of the season. But I do see something like 5 wins if he had stayed, and can’t help but feel like they would have at least been competitive against the tougher part of the league. But, his success and how much of an impact he’s had on that Fresno team this season is just a glaring wart, a clear symptom of the disease of whatever was poisoning the GA well (preggo coeds?).
Mostly, I’m just glad it’s over (almost). I’ll look back on the GA debacle as one of the lowest points in OSU athletics history. Never would have imagined that was going to be the case when he was hired.
McM is a great person and very nice QB. Glad he got out for his own future. Not glad he got out as a Beav fan, because we’d have a handful of wins with him from the start.
Throwing out of your own end zone with Ryan Nall and Thomas Tyner on your team.
Genius.
They’ll never see it coming.
That was a beautiful first offensive series. Lets throw a backwards pass near the end zone. It’s just so stupid, nobody would possibly expect it, right?
Lol at that 4th down D formation. So much room, nobody in the box.
Ah, the Kevins and their genius
And no time out called to get your guys on the right page.
Even if we played well, you can tell these refs wouldn’t let us win.
Some of these Pac games approach WWF/boxing level corruption.
They’re tackling our guys and calling them blocks. No wonder they have huge holes to run through.
I watched the Fresno/Boise game well paced, very few penalties called. I wish the P-12 refs would get a clue.
Players taking after Crapperpants and quitting.
Okay, game is over. Can they announce Baldwin now?
Only exciting thing will be when this game is over. We’ll get to see if it’s FootballPoop, or Kerry Egg-on-my-face-ers
Lolololol so funny
Bring on the new coach announcement….. we need some sort of good news….even if it’s not great news…
https://theathletic.com/120280/2017/10/07/jimmy-lake-washington-beau-baldwin-cal/
Article on Jimmy Lake, if Baldwin is bring a coordinator from UW it will be this one, not Smith.
Lake would be an outstanding hire for DC.
Defense gets called for Delay of Game. You know, that thing that never happens.
The real tragedy of this game isn’t gonna be the blowout loss, it’s going to be Freeman beating Simonton’s Pac12 rushing record. That pisses me off.
Well, that and our defense being unable to tackle, playing 10 yards off all receivers, and being unable to penetrate the Ducks’ offensive line. Or throw. Or block.
Ugh, so terrible. Not sure if I care if all these players transfer out. I am sure there is some talent here but jesus, at least try.
He was down but this will stay a fumble, no angle strangely.
The other camera is on beaus nutsack.
What a bunch of quitters. Revise to tackle, cover rec’s, fumble, penalties. What a pile of crap. Worst team I’ve ever watched in 50 years. Not going to be supportive no matter who they hire./ Done!
Timmy!!
pussy snowflake says Timmy?
There aren’t any seniors on this team ill miss.
Hahaha, I said the same thing a couple weeks back. Riley’s enduring gift was this shitty class. At least the next coach will have some pieces to work with
This might be the worst CW ever.
anyone still #Hallin 3rd and 18 and they score
If I were Baldwin I’d stay at Cal as OC. I’d want nothing to do with this dumpster fire.
Meh. Gonna take after the ex-“coach” and players and quit, too. Apple Cup and Furd/ND looking good.
I can’t find a stream that works for me and to be honest with you right now I’m thinking that ain’t all bad the way the Beavs are playing.
Go Beavs
Best pass he’s thrown all year.
The noodle was just enough
No replay on that juggle?
Yeah wtf?
pussy snowflake says juggle?
No replay of that catch? Lol. No pi call on timmys catch either. Beavs against the world.
Looked bobbled from here
This team sucks either way, but certainly can’t deal with poor officials and expect to keep it close
If Herbert were still in the trainer’s room the beavs would have had a better chance
God, this is embarrassing.
They are gonna hang 70 on the Beavs today.
This is the lowest point as a fan of any sports team I can remember. Fuck it, I am getting drunk.
Not seeing the game…Beavs doing ANYTHING creative or interesting on offense? Wildcat with Hall? Featuring Tyler in some way?
Disappointing to hear they don’t look like they care to tackle in the CW….
They didn’t tackle the rest of the season…why would they start now?
Have to bring more than 3. Herbert is going to sit back and chuck the ball all over.
That’s the other stupid Kevin
Ducks may as well put the rain coats on now
Weren’t we saying about 7 weeks ago that the defense was find and the offense was the problem?
No, not really. The DL was thin on talent all along.
Angry: I see Fresno State defeated # 23 Boise State. McMaryion went 23/36 for 332 yards. 2 TD’s and no ints.
ESPN has a clip of McMaryion throwing about a 55 yard pass (in the air), he receiver didn’t have to break his stride and took it another 25 yards for a TD. There were 2 defenders right by the receiver and McMaryion laid it right in there.
Not possible. He’s mediocre and has a noodle arm.
Didn’t happen because he quit us.
Beavs might be smart to milk the play clock as much as possible, just to limit time of posession for oregon in this game. This score is going to balloon on us so fast, haha
They’d be smart to forfeit.
Thats what i was thinking. Open up the play book take some chances also. Fuck it.
May as well announce the new Head Coach at halftime the way the game is going.
Game has been over for awhile now.
Glad the Kevin’s are gone after this game. I don’t think I ever saw an effective game plan.
The only way this get worse is we find out the AD bungled the HC hire and we end up with Riley and Banker as our fall back plan.
Blitz for fucks sake.
Progress was stopped?
Progress stopped when he dropped the ball
Youve got to be fucking kidding me that the fumble isnt a fumble due to “forward progress being stopped”?
Didnt ever hear the whistle blow
Crazy how much the refs are missing easy calls tonight
Crazy? Or suspicious?
It was obvious when they threw the 15 yard flag on the first play they were paid off. Not that it matters. It might be 24-7 instead of 31-7. Sad Phil thought he had to buy the win.
Oh please. Your team just sucks no matter who’s the referee.
Oh they suck alright, which makes it doubly weird Phil felt he had to pay them off.
I think he just said that
Precisely. Leave it to a Duck to having comprehension issues.
Bs. Did we even get it anyway? My gf is said it’s like they’re trying not get it. Lol. Classic beavers.
yeah that one was bizarre.. announcers didn’t even say anything, clearly a fumble
really weird
Do we even want Hall as a DB coach at this point? How the mighty have fallen.
What’s he supposed to do, suit up and hit the field? All the starters and half the backups are hurt.
not really.
Am OK with him as DB coach just because of his connection with Chad “Ocho” Johnson and Housh at Cincinnati. That and recruiting duties is all though.
Wonder if the hire is this Sunday or if Beavs really drag this out several more days. Disappointed they appear to have made no effort in talking to either Miles or Sumlin.
Baldwin could be a good hire with the right staff. Like the Lake for DC idea since they appear to have a connection. Throw in Troy Taylor or Aaron Best at OC and that is a pretty decent staff.
Fuck Troy Taylor. We just went through the low-level incest thing with Utah State.
What about Will Friend as OC?
The only benefit is that he helps keep some commits. However… will the new coaches even want them?
Looking for the positive, should get a good luck at the Beavers’ kick return game today….
Ducks on a pace to score 90. That’s awful on the face of it, but it might be what’s needed to get Ed Ray to pay attention to this situation
Would that be an “A” game?
He doesn’t give a fuck.
It’s too bad the worst team in the Country doesn’t get the #1 recruit in the Country. That would be a nice model, except for that kid who would have to play for OSU.
They get to be close to the #1 team opening in Columbus next year.
that’s what, 3 penalties on Hernandez already?
He’s the only one making catches as well tho. It’s a beaver thing.
this has taken on a farcical quality
Maybe they get 90 by the half?
This is almost a joke. Punt fake that goes for 3 yrds, leaves Oregon on the 20. My, or my, have we gotten so bad. This will take years.. to fix, if ever.
Two blatant holds on the replay on that last TD. Gross.
Seems to be fortune cookie mo…just hold every play and see if anyone calls it
Did the announcers just carry on about the discipline of the duck team? Did they mean the DUIs by the staff or ?
Zzzzzzz
Sorry, I know the DUIs are an old story and for the ucks a pretty minor infraction
They are definitely going to run up the score.
they should after that stupid smack talk, some of it coming from our head coach.
Why are we even keeping score. All these kids are winners for trying their best. Let’s get them all a trophy and a pat on the head for a job well done.
Nice job on that td ugwoegbu u turd.
I guess the record is 111, Ducks should go for it.
I’m kinda curious as to what that might look like
The NCAA record? Georgia Tech vs. Cumberland, 1916 222-0
What’s the record for a CW?
Points scored, I’m thinking the 65 points from that Rose Bowl deciding game. Margin of defeat? I would have to do some research. I think the Ducks won once 44-0?
The refs must of told Garretson to throw into double coverage
They keep passing to run it up if bring the house and swing Herbert around by his facemask like a dead cat. You want no class? Fine.
Who cares… It’s not their job to stop scoring…stupid Kevin should be doing a better job, and the beavs should stop bending over if they don’t want to take it up the ass
I’ll be so glad to see Garretson leave
These coaches don’t care anymore.
This is seriously a fucking joke.
Fuck Gary Andersen.
Good… Good… Let the hate flow through you…
The coaches (except Hall) all get drunk before games. This has been going on for a long time. On good authority.
That sounds like a stupid rumor but then again the product on the field.
No rumor.
Post a screencap of the email, with identifying details of the sender blanked out.
No. If you don’t trust me or the source, then that’s your prerogative.
You keep bragging about having better information than the journalists, so if you really believe what you’re saying, post a screencap of the email, and blank out the identifying details of the sender.
This website is the last place that should be overflowing with baseless hearsay and rumors, and this simple step would show you’re not just making garbage up.
If you had to watch this from the field wouldn’t you want to be drunk???
At least the Apple Cup has started so I can stop watching.
MMM leads Fresno State to a conference championship. FUCK YOU GARY ANDERSEN, YOU FUCKING QUITTER!
He’s a really solid QB. Just the facts.
I don’t care what anybody says, he throws a very nice long ball. Smart decision maker also. Granted, he would not have that much time if he was still a Beaver, but he is better than anything on this pathetic roster.
Ducks might put up 100. Haha. I almost hope they don’t call the dogs off to let people know what we’re dealing with. All these players should transfer or told they will never play at OSU by Baldwin. All actual quitters, unlike McM, despite being in uniform.
agree. at this point I want the Ducks to pour it on so that this program never forgets this humiliation
This is the grossest thing I have even seen. My 52-7 prediction should have been the half time score
I’m strangely embracing it. What the hell, might as well give up the most points in PAC history today.
There with 2:13 left dear god I can’t believe this crap show
Ugwoegbu sux!
Ho Lee Fuk
PBH out. I will lose all respect for anyone that watches or posts after this point. Turn the page….good night now!
what are you talking about? history is going to be made tonight. worst defeat in team, conference, national history.
This is quite the spectacle
These are the top offenses and defenses in the Country:
http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/21
http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/22
What about Will Friend as OC and Danny Gonzales as DC?
Gonzales has trained under Long. Very interesting prospect. Maybe too much youth for a staff. Heyward would be a HR. The Fresno St guy is interesting, too. Who else has had production and is realistic?
Look through the list and come up with some names.
Beau Baldwin may decide to reject the job offer
I would if I was him.
EWU is a better job.
Aside from the seniors, there are good players…the existing coaches however suck ass
I wonder if they can force a punt down by 38?
Done watching this crap. But the only player defense that gives a shit, id Dave Morris..
Hicks onu
Sweet geezus these announcers… the ball bounced off Herbert’s shoulder pads? Dude, those were his fucking hands
Justin Shoulder Hands.
And …. another TD
Hall might get on the bus at halftime
He should
watching Garretson overthrow a guy long–he did that two or three times in his original start at Minnesota a year ago. We should have known then he didnt’ have it. he’s not keeping it on the option either. I guess he’s trying to stay healthy
well, I think that’s a record. a team has never scored 50 on the beavs before halfttime
WannaBeav, are you “Dave in Tumwater”? We seem to agree on everything. Email me if so. I won’t tell.
I’m “Scott” – shhhhhh it’s our little secret! :-p
No way. Dave in Tumwater doesn’t sound Asian or young.
D.I.M.W. might be me. Game on.
60 before half? Only the Beavs could screw this up and force 1 punt. What were they thinking? History was in their grasp.
Put in Moran and run the ball the rest of the game.
I want to see Moran, time to get some experience for non-seniors.
I remember in Erickson’s first year UW put up 45 by the half. I never thought I’d live to see such a number again.
You didn’t.
Why I am still watching: Lols, and I won’t see Beaver football until September (thankfully).
oddly enough, I’m kinda riveted by this
So am I, hoping for 100 burger and possibly a devestating blow to the ducks, when, after the game, fortune cookie announces he’s taking the job at Florida
It’s a historic performance… This has got to be a low point in the entire history of OSU football. Which is saying something!
Boy were we wrong about Gary Andersen.
Serious question: did Nebraska fan last night feel as sick as I do now?
Those paid off refs making mercy calls now
They didn’t realize how bad the beavs werewhwn they cashed the check
Beavs are hamds down the worst run P5 program in the nation and have been for years.
Ed Ray is a huge part of the problem. Doesn’t take college athlerics seriously. Thinks it is for shits and giggles.
Ed Ray’s time should be dwindling down. He has brought down Oregon State football to a greater degree than even the considerable decline Riley accomplished at Nebraska this year.
OSU needs a CEO of Sports and Ed Ray ain’t it. Baldwin will need a helluva staff to turn this around.
What a stupid post
so Garretson chooses THAT moment for a keeper?
this will be a yard short, count on it.
Is it really 52-7 before halftime?
Time to clean house on the Andersen era completely. Get rid of his entire staff. Everyone. Rebuild with new pieces.
agree. Oregon on a 900 yard pace. You have to wonder what the half time conversation will be like in the OSU executives booth, you know, Ray, Barnes, etc. I also wonder if Gary is watching tonight and contemplating what he wrought
100 points and 1000 yards, let’s go bitches, make history
That’s the best thing I have seen l season. Taggert freezing the kicker up 45 and of Q2. That’s some funny shit.
Or is it funnier that our team as a 4 star kicker who came up three yards short from 47 yards?
There’s nothing more to do then just laugh at this point. It’s a comedy of errors all around.
https://twitter.com/angrybeavs/status/934599184673488896
So what the hell is our AD doing futzing around at football practice and watching this game?
Being the idiot he is?
Think you are right about this weekend only because I have heard Beavs will announce Baldwin officially on Tuesday.
right on Angry. Those reports go unremarked upon meanwhile Luke Heimlich gets the full investigation.
Yeah, why weren’t clownzano and moron doing a full background and investigative piece on the GA drama?
Can’t wait for it to be revealed that it’s revenge for the announcement getting leaked.
I wonder what this game will do for recruiting.
good point. This could be a historic debacle. especially if Taggert and Herbert decide to run it up
Sell immediate playing time? “You are definitely better than the fools who gave up a c-note to the ucks… you’ll see the field next September”
Sick to my stomach……Hall needs to have a meeting at half and throw some punches….. if he even cares at this point…. I always wondered what it looked like at the start of the 28 years of loosing…. I think I know now….
I don’t think anything quite this bad even happened in the Avezzano era.
Baldwin may have a change of heart after seeing this. Sorry, but this team and staff appear to have quit before this game started. Terrible timing for a coaching hire leak last night.
which reminds me: why was a search firm necessary when it was going to take this long to make a hire anyway? Did Guerrero have a search committee? Moos?
It means that Barnes and Oregon State has few connections in the coaching world. Remember they are going to hire a guy for millions of dollars they will likely only have known for a week or so.
Translation: They have no business making these types of decisions.
So…
Touchdown,
Onside,
Touchdown,
Onside,
Touchdown,
Onside,
Touchdown,
Onside,
Touchdown,
Onside,
Touchdown,
Onside,
Touchdown for the win??
So, you’re saying it’s possible
This is a 6-5 team kicking our ass, not Chip Kelly’s ducks. This is a new low for me and I attended school during the Pettibone era.
Bc they didn’t have herbert.
Yeah and they went 1-3 with him out with losses to Wazzu, at Stanford, at UCLA and at UW. With Herbert they MAY only win 1 more game.
Pettibone twice won in Autzen and carried the seniors off the field. He is a Greek god of football coaching compared to this crap product.
But, we have TWO Kevins!
Lol with Herbert they would have been 9-2 or 8-3
Look at their schedule and tell us which games they would have won to go 9-2 or 8-3 with Herbert. All of the sudden they are better than Stanford, UW and Wazzu?
UCLA for sure, the others would of all been closer so who knows. Be glad you beat FCS PSU
Your a duck troll, we get it. Now go away.
Isn’t there a duck blog for schmuck fans like you…you probably want to find it….get the duck out of the beaver blog.
They have Herbert.
Can the refs not throw a flag on a review?
Haha, forward progress doesn’t count when the beavs have the 1st down, only when a puck drops the ball on the ground
I can’t tell based on these announcers, are we playing undefeated crimson Tide or buckeyes, or is this a 6-5 uck team? I realize the beavs suck but it seems like they’re blowing the green Phil’s pretty good
Their throats and knees have to be sore.
Or, as they like to say…
Slurp
Garretson, lol, gonna miss you big fella
never been happier to see guy go. very personification of bad football. perfectly emblematic of GA decision-making.
Son, we’d like you to come to Corvallis and play football for OSU.
Course, it will take us 2 or 3 recruiting classes in order for the team to be competitive so if you’re lucky and you red shirt, maybe by your senior year you’d be on a team that had a chance of winning more than 3 games a year.
There are some good players, and definitely bad current coaches. The next coach will have more success than this sorry group
really? tell me who the good players are.
Oh and by the way the facilities are minimal at best, and the school’s too far in debt and too poor to get them up to par;;;;; and THERE’S NO AIRPORT.
No airport, but, we do have fat Lindsey to help sell the program, I mean, if she’s not a good pitch for the quality of the training table, don’t know what is….mooo
I had to stop watching in the 2nd quarter. Did they even practice for this game. Total rebuild because the dumpster not only burned but melted.
Come on, this is history in the making beavs gonna give up 100…er, ?
“Cory Hall just went after someone on the Beav sideline ( looked like an assistant) “what’d you say? What’d you say? Other coaches had to step between them….full scale implosion”
I commented being at the game last week that I saw players on our team being seperated starting a fight with each other on the sideline…. this seems to be even more of the same…
and yet that idiot Travis Demers was talking after the last game about how the team was rallying around itself. everyone like everyone else. probably because there’s no one around to keep them accountable. but then given the coaching situation, how would they ever learn about accountability?
Ducks showing true colors up 62 to 7 and then targeting on our qb….yep that’s class
Didn’t look like it wasn’t meant to be dirty, just a stupid kid, making poor play
Yeah, called off the dogs already, what assholes
Great play calling…………….. I joke.
I mean, I don’t understand this. The team was at least semi-competitive in most games last year (Colorado was a blow out). Was the team leadership basically Stanton and Decoud? Were they able to rise above shitty, dysfunctional coaching? There seems to be something more to this. I guess the media doesn’t care.
Where’s moron? I thought he was all about the deep, gritty, investigative reporting?
The OL graduates weren’t replaced by equivalent players. The D was already thin and the coaching staff was not able to recruit the required DL players.
DeCoud already chimed in on the twitter feed. “No heart.” No kidding.
Several former players saying similar things…..that’s where we are at I guess….
Angry gets his chance to see Moran. Garretson doesn’t look like he’ll come back
Garretson looks like he does not even know who he is right now. Villiman also out with a concussion
Two players that nobody will miss.
::: raises hand:::
Uh, coach, think I have a concussion.
See him hand off. This is lame play calling. Let the guy throw and develop, for better or worse.
There’s your pass.
The paid off refs missed that INT
Telecaster mentions McM transferring was “the beginning of the end”. He saw it, I saw it, GA and many here didn’t. Sad. Season, and GA’s career, ended that day.
Bye bye miss mcmaryion pie…
I saw it and posted here on several occasions….MM is a solid QB.
hey, where’s Jack? we can’t talk about MM without him.
Jack’s looking up today’s stats…needs to “prove” that McM is a traitor and should be vilified for all time.
For those who didn’t watch McM’s, day went like this:
23-36 for 332 yd, 2 TD 0 INT & 27 yds rushing
I missed this one.
Did MM start camp then leave his teammates with no contingency?
Must be me.
Yes, except GAs career started ending when he started StG.
MM transferring was a decision made by one person.
mmm..pie
Burmeister is awful, Willie better pray Hebert stays healthy the rest of his career.
Too bad hereberrt got healthy just before the cw
We are Kansas……..minus the awesome basketball.
Fetch Toto.
If the score holds, do I get a prize for closest prediction? Lol
CW record for points. Hall must go.
I like him, but we can’t have anyone associated with this on staff.
Do you think that Hall might have been given this odd promotion to be the fall guy?
They gave it to him because the the coordinators are fucking schmucks and the season didn’t matter.
Hall was the right choice for the interim. Do you think any of the other coaches would have inspired the players to play hard in the first couple weeks after Andersen left?
But he just bought a house!
And he’s going to have to sell it.
He was gone the day he became the interim. It was clear Anderson was awful, and just like Taggart did before this year, the whole staff must go with a new coach
The only hope is like someone said earlier that this embarrassment leads to a thourogh deep look into all aspects of OSU athletics….improvements can and must be made…..
concur. wipe the slate clean. if you could start over with players I’d wipe out all the scholarships and start over like a self inflicted football “death penalty.” After all, suicide is legal in Oregon
It just doesn’t make sense this year. New low. Wow.
It makes a lot of sense. We hired a guy who belongs in an insane asylum to be our head coach.
Angry: that might be your most economically incisive comment ever.
“They run a risky, gambling defense”
Hahahajahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaa
Hahaha. The “stand there and watch” D sure is risky…risks giving up a TD every play unless the O happens to run into a defender.
“DIRECTV highlights some of life’s uncommon pleasures: banging one’s head on a low ceiling, getting paper cuts, drinking spoiled milk, and being a beaver fan”
Wow, scary how many good QBs returning to the conference next season.
Luton, bitches
Down vote? Pfft
I love how these buttfucks are giving Herbert the Heisman and sucking fortune cookie’s dick all o the sudden.
If Taggart was so great his team wouldn’t be absolute shit without one player.
First season there guy, if it was year 3 and there was no backup you’d have a point. Thanks to that worthless Helfrich there was no QB cupboard
Not all of a sudden, it’s been all game. Funny thing is ucks haven’t done shit aside from playing better than a non-coached, qb-less beav team
Lol 69 points .. “done nothing”. No wonder this fan base is so triggered
?
Triggered?
Yes, nothing. This is a non coached, QB less beav team. If that makes you think the ucks are awesome, hey, more power to you but talk about delusional.
The Ducks suck. Herbert is awesome. Just highlights the importance of QB, and why our season was over when Sybil decided on Luton.
Hahahaha most points ever in the history of the CW. Reread that a few times and then rethink your statement
Exactly. Apparently when a shitty team with a good QB beats a dumpster fire, it makes the shitty team Natty bound.
Means as much as hanging 70 on some shitty non conference team. OSU is in the same spot so it’s nothing to get your pee-pee all in an uproar over.
Anyone still think this is no worse than Riley’s 2011 team? Andersen did a number on this program.
Fuck Riley.
It pains me to say it but this team is worse than any Riley team…
If Simple Jack didn’t suck camel dicks there would be 10-12 seniors leading this team right now.
agreed
Talent wise, no, but coaching and organization, yes.
I never thought I’d see someone more disorganized than Riley. GA for his only win.
Leach is laying a huge egg in Seattle. What would an angrycoug be saying about Leach?
Ole mud and sticks says Leach has done one hell of a job considering where he’s coaching.
I think UW is simply the better team. Always was.
Has done a great job. Not going to win every game, and Washington is better.
They just said Riley might be back in Corvallis. A night that you thought couldn’t get worse, just did….
^ lol
who is “they”?
Lol announcer is saying Riley should return to “ole faithful”. If that’s not the final blow to the gut ….
Where has AP been all game?
AP should transfer too.
Fuck. They didn’t get to 100.
Sad face
Anyone see the Duluth workpants vs angry beavers commercial?
Good job by Hall developing Moran with those handoffs.
Now that the season is over, all I can say to this FSINO (football staff in name only) plus some of the quitters – uh, “players”: GET. THE FUCK. OUT!
Agreed. All players and all coaches please pack your bags tonight, and please wipe the lockers clean before you leave. We don’t want any leftover stink for the next crew.
Ok OSU, season is over. Let’s see official notice of Baldwin hire.
Apparently they want to let us all marinade in this feeling for another 10 days! lol
After that performance, maybe beavs should consider self imposed death penalty for three years. If any of us thought Riley ran this program into the ground, then GA took a bulldozer and dug his way to China. I hope we clean house and make the correct hire….Jeff tedford at Fresno state would be my first choice but I won’t be disappointed with Beau Baldwin either.
This angie machado tweet is pretty funny. I suggest you all send a response. The more graphic, the better.
https://twitter.com/AngieMachado1/status/934626012649967616
Hall is a great motivator…
What did Hall do?
Gave a spirited pre-game speech to the team on the middle of the field at Autzen gathered around the O and it got posted all over Twitter.
Came off to me (and many others) as a lil too much from a guy trying to play the “great motivator”, although I do like Hall.
Safe to say it backfired.
Oh, got to give credit to Taggart or whoever on UofO spun it into motivation. And Hall should know better for giving the other team anything close to motivation
Clearly, nothing.
I think they took his rain coat comments as bulletin board material. The team also met on the middle of the field pre-game and Hal gave a speech which they broke with a “fuck the ducks.”
#FTD
Hall saying he applauded their effort. Yikes!
Their effort? Holy shit he’s delusional too. Sad!
Another coach wading in BS. Brutal honesty would be refreshing…
Can you imagine what Mike Leach would have said about this nonperformance? People would have to go to the Good Samaritan burn ward
Something something “fat little girlfriends” something something. “Women’s softball team”
Thankfully this football season is over! When does baseball start?
If we don’t get an announcement tomorrow it must be because they are waiting to interview people still.
If it’s Beau there’s no reason to delay (unless they’re having trouble working out the details).
The December 3rd date definitely means it could be someone coaching next week. Harsin or Tedford seem like they would make the most sense. Tedford was interested in the opening last time and he has had an amazing year.
I think Tedford might actually be my top choice. I think he could definitely get the program back on track.
I saw on Twitter they might be going after Harsin, would explain the wait,. He’s got a conference championship game next week end
Yep, Boise State is playing Fresno State next Saturday for the MW championship.
new thread needed
so much info
You all don’t deserve this info
You think Baeuner is somehow a good coach
I have never been apologized to so much in my life
I don’t think “apologized to” is proper English
they didn’t make me drink, but they didn’t stop serving me free drinks
saw canzano slinking around the whole night… dood is such a oser
Timmy made the line to gain… what was that replay bullshit all about
Duck mascot did exactly zero push-ups
Who’s your coach?
Do you want a list?
I can list 20 coaches that you would look at and say, “Yeah, he makes sense.”
I don’t have “one” per se.
I like Mike Norvell. I’m biased. imet him two years ago, and he is engaging, but not a salesman. I would accept Schiano, Moorhead, Brohm. Narduzzi, Wilcox, Yurcich, Kwiatkowski, Bloomsbury,
We need a name guy. ESPN didn’t even both to mention us this morning. Why the fuck didn’t we get chip Kelly?
I’m a little surprised at his price. He’s a little out of our range, but he settled for less than I thought he would.
Jim Tressel??
The pushup thing was so funny. While the Duck was humping air and not even bending his elbows, the announcers actually said “he’s going down all the way, too”. More fantasy bullshit. God I wish someone related to sports actually spoke the truth even if it doesn’t support their made up narrative.
Let it rage beavs, let it rage.
The leaf blower is in full force
Not seeing how Nall has any option to go NFL or transfer anywhere
Why don’t you think he could transfer anywhere? Leach said he was the best RB in the Pac-12. I’m sure there are tons of teams who would love to have him.
He needs to switch to LB.
Many people in the boxes were highly upset with the whole contrived “Cory Hall said we have fancy raincoats” pussiness.
Rightly so.
Many think fortune cookie is not long for his current job. Many think he kept his starters in against our second and third string just to show florida that he’s better than a morning frost.
Baldwin to OSU is a joke now.
Leach manages to lose yet again.
I was wrong about Jedford. He won a conference championship for once.
I know the dumbs will try to conflate that play with MM being there. MM did wel this year. MM was not why they won. More power t him for making a decision based on his own welfare, not his team’s welfare.
Beauner as our new head gives us maybe 10 wins over the next three years.
Tedford’s thing was producing “system QBs,” right? I remember that was the huge knock on Aaron Rodgers coming out in the draft.
I don’t think MM is a particularly skilled QB, and I don’t think he’d have been anywhere near as successful at OSU as he was at FSU. Still, it was a mistake to not start him IMO. He was the best we had, which isn’t saying much.
Why are we talking about Jedford and his Qbs?
That has little to do with aything, and I think he’s decent with QBs.
Yeah, MM is a bum right? He led the MW Conference in QB efficiency rating after being in the program just two weeks prior to the start of the season. If the Beavs had MM at QB, we’d have won at least 2-3 more games and been much more competitive. GA naming Luton as the starting QB and MM transfer killed any shot the Beavs had at a half ass season. Having experience at QB in the P12 conference is absolutely critical….the Beavs had experience with MM and then GA and one or more of his assistants effed it up. I’d love to see Tedford hired and bring MM back with him as a transfer as MM is only a Junior….
Still a moron I see
pussy snowflake says moron?
Back to the blame game and guessing why Andersen left w/o buyout: I’m rolling with the cheerleader affair and booze rumor. Juicy and plausible. When will we find out the truth?
He came to OSU because he thought he could could coast and get away with being drunk
source
Fucking source that complete bullshit.
DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or don’t… because you’re a fraud.
Tell me why GA would leave Wisconsin
Who cares?
source?
Or you’re a lying fraud.
probably never because there are no reporters who care to find out
Oldie but goodie after Leach lost 50-7 against Utah in his first year:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HS-NLgSSaQM
WSU = OSU
Utah = quacks
I accept this as proof that some people shouldn’t even be allowed to think math exists.
lazy
mother
thinks
Well that didn’t turn out as expected. I expected a loss, but not a complete 60 minute kick to the balls. Whoever comes in as coach has a long hard road. At least the next group of starters have their own bill board material for next season. What an absolute embarrassment.
Wow
this fandom really is that clueless
Steve “Snapper” Jones dead. Loved that guy
RIP
Need a new thread, or I’m going to spam this shit show with vids.
So Jack is Gary Andersen?
This is reading a lot like the Canzano texts!
Saw Canzano tonight.
smeagol is not jealous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRt4hQs3nH0
Gary Andersen has a purple nose
and he’s apparently still renting space in your head.
that makes you the loser.
GA is the fucking devil. You know it. We are Kansas thanks to that fuck.
We didn’t vote ourselves to be Kansas like Kansas did. We’re not far from it, as Kansas has proven.
But we’re a smidge away from doing the obscene financall things Kansas has done in order topretend they’re smart about… what I guess I will get fired for.
Kansas… the place where supposed conservatism died… except that big money tells “conservatives” what to think.
Fucking lemmings.
You may now continue your two minute hate.
Rough year for Barnes to walk into. Started off with Luke Heimlich, followed by GA and now this coaching hire with slim pickings.
I’m almost more in favor of Ray giving Barnes the option to walk and then taking our time to start over with a new AD who hasnt been beaten down already. Really afraid we’re just going to dig a bigger hole .
These guys get beaten down so fast. Cory Hall looks and sounds like a different person.
OSU = death.
Being in over your head at OSU (Andersen 2nd/3rd year staff) or someone who appears to be unstable (guess) = death. Plenty of people have done just fine.
Umm.. no!
The abortion of an announcement involving Beauner is an embarrassment beyond professional.
There just is no way we can be taken seriously if we hire the dude.
I asked in the other thread and it didn’t get answered but are we sure Cal wasn’t the leak? Maybe baldwin confided in someone and they let it fly? The timing is right.
It’s almost immaterial.
Either he broke the trust, or Barnes broke the trust.
It boils down to who really cares about the personnel on the team.
Barnes appears a more capable decison maker than Ed Ray to me. I’d prefer we give Ray the option to walk. Need a much grander vision and investment at Oregon State to find repeated success in the big sports of Football and Basketball. Serious lack of leadership from the University to develop a true roadmap to success. Our major sports are in the shitter. A new President can change the position on some of OSU’s priorities and strive for real success in major athletics in addition to academics. Football team and basketball to a lesser extent are the front door to the university. Ours says reconsider before entering.
I would copy this in order to show your offspring that their elders can be more than stupid, in fact actively stupid.
But why?
Reading this in the light of day makes you look even more stupid.
And now I’m looking over the rest of the thread and finding out you all are spreading rumors that GA was a drunk wife beater?
You all are pretty low.
I had no idea I was dealing with people that low.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8rK_H51ED4
Angry at what point can you ban Jack? He adds zero to the discussion other than littering the discussion with his bullshit.
Jack insult and juvenile name calling I. 3….2….1
Wait…
You insult and namecall, then call that bulldshit?
Your hateful existence is noted, even if your own family can’t wait for you to die.
It appears that your hypocrisy is of no importance to you.
This is not surprising given your history of moral degradation.
You don’t seem to understand the world of adults.
I don’t know how to overcome the simple logic of logic.
Perhaps this is the reason a corrupt fuckstick is POTUS.
Whatever.
Maybe the reasn that fuckstick of a fraudis POTUS is because hes a piece of shit who belives he ca do something somehwre.
Let’s hope that guy gets up the guption to … what were we doing?
jax!!!
Pussy snowflake says nothing?
Not banning him, but there’s an “ignore” button (small “x”) next to his name. Just use that. That’s what it’s there for, so people can choose who to ban themselves.
Excellent ty
Your mother hates you.
That was a great addition to the site BTW.
Beavers need speed on defense if they want to be competitive in the league. That’s why I think letting Barnes walk and hiring an AD who will bring back men’s indoor track will benefit the football team significantly.
OSU football shouldn’t forge an offensive identity that is similar to the Ducks, which is a high-tempo spread offense. That troubles me a little with Beau.
Rather, let’s go after a coach that runs the flex-bone offense. Forging an identity on beating the hell out of the opponent’s front seven for 60+ plays is a good selling point to quality linemen recruits and backs. A deep threat, a possession receiver, balanced tight ends and a mobile QB who can throw the deep ball well would be good enough to run ~75 plays a game.
Defense should be about stopping the run and jamming receivers at the line. Explosive plays will be given up, but so will turnovers and giving the ball back to the rushing attack would be frustrating.
Didn’t a highschool team win a natty using the slot-t recently?
Did we win?
If giving almost 70 points to your instate rival and then plain giving up is your idea of a win, then yes.
#winning
We made a game of it but came up a bit short of the win.
If by winning you mean that even though this dumpster fire is out we have another one going (MBB) so that we can keep warm through the winter before baseball season starts, then yes.
That is until someone figures out a way to end baseball season with another Heimlich maneuver.
Yeah, Tinkle is probably hoping this football coaching search goes on for as long as possible so that no one notices the horror show that has become MBB. I guess Tink’s job is safe until “the children” all graduate? At least the coaches son’s get the team 10 wins instead of 5.
What does the AD’s son bring us?
The team was involved in setting a record. Does that count?
Someone thought throwing tnt in the dumpster would put the fire out. It didn’t work.
reports out that Todd Graham will be fired this morning. ASU may be trying to bring Norvell back.
It’s official now.
Kevin Sumlin is likely going to be fired and was rumored to be their top target.
But… but… but… Beauner.
Yep, going 7-5 isn’t going to cut it anymore
Well Graham will have to go to his next “dream job.”
wonder what’s going to happen
Contract extension!
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Yesterday’s performance is grounds for total and immediate termination. We’ve seen this one bad game mantra happen too much with Riley and Andersen. Get out.
What did you expect after the Beauner news on Friday?
Did you think that distraction wasn’t a fucked up joke?
Call me nuts but I like the idea of Niumatalolo and the triple option. It’s a unique offense (it dies include passing all you wishpettibone haters) that is hard to prepare for and no one else in the conference would run it. It continues a pipeline to the Samoan players OSU has been recruiting. It would put OSU in a position of having something no one else in the conference does. At this point, what’s there to lose by trying it? It solves offensive identity, making things difficult for other people, creates something unique. I’m down to see if it works.
Niumatalolo doesn’t make much sense with what we do know of the coaching search. The Army-Navy game is December 9th and I doubt that Niumatalolo or OSU would want to make anything official before that.
December 3rd is the late target date per Eggers.
Honestly, if an extra week longer means the tight fit comes up I am okay with it. You simply CANNOT screw up this hire or you risk losing your fan base for good.
Don’t exaggerate, four bad hires in the 70’s,80’s and 90’s only cost about 25 years!
*five
Riley part deux was in the 2000’s if that’s your math. I wouldn’t call him a bad hire the first time.
Smiley part 1 was part of the streak though few people want to admit it
He did not get over .500, but year two the team was significantly better with momentum (where have we heard that before?)
Don’t be dishonest.
He was not only a losing head coach in his first stint. He also ditched the program at the worst possible time because he was not loyal to OSU in any way, shape or form.
But people at OSU apparently like to defend disloyalty.
Just look at the early 90s to see if it works.
Hiring the guy who makes it work with a roster of 200 players might not make it work in an infinitely faster league.
Waiting to hear that Scott Barnes has made a half assed hire with unfavorable terms(because he lost leverage after letting the name of his new hire leak before actually signing the guy, doh!) only to cut bait and take the vacant position at WSU.
OSU again left trying to fill a vacant AD leadership role with a coach feeling left out on an island. The cycle continues….
Why would WSU or anyone want Barnes?
This would seem to be a final “prove yourself” job for Barnes. He wasn’t at Pitt long enough to make a significant impact. He ain’t getting another Power 5 job unless he does incredible things at OSU.
So you’re telling me he going to be unemployed.
He’s saying that Scott Barnes is a junkie and a child-beater.
Schools make bad hires all the time. We excel at it.
Never would have predicted Nebraska would hire Mike Riley away from us several years back, but they did.
Finally something we are good at!
So… do we have any other juicy rumors we need to spread?
Is Ed Ray a pedo?
Is Marianne Vydra a serial killer?
Let’s have it turds. Come tell us what we need to know.
You’re still a loser, but that’s not really a rumor
You’re a turd.
I want the real goods from some of the people I used to respect.
You disgusted me from the beginning.
I’m not spreading any rumors, the talk of Barnes leaving doesn’t make any sense. I am saying that Barnes needs to stay at OSU and help improve the key programs (Football and MBB) and maintain the legacy programs. He earned some merit at a non-Power 5 school, now he needs to do it at a major school. The football hire is his starting point and he better have a plan for a new MBB coach is about three years (or less).
Barnes is a buddy of a drunk wife beater.
He must go now!
Oh… and it was widely known that the Friday night Beauner announcement just fucked our team, as much as nobody wants to admit that. You all complain about them giving up? What do they have to play for after Friday’s news leak? Maybe self-respect while playing for a program that doesn’t respect itself?
I am so disgusted with this bog right now.
Did you run out of Turkey Mash (with a fried egg) on top? Is that what has put you in this grumpy mood? I would put up a video of “Jackie Blue”, but alas, I don’t know how.
Fuck your pretend deity, mckalk.
I’m the real thing and don’t you forget! I don’t now why I put up with you after the time you called me a racist on here and realized you “had the wrong person”, but I’m not going to let you ruin the pleasure I get from discussing things with Angry and the rest. These tangents you go on don’t reflect well on you, but you don’t care and that speaks volumes about you.
That was a more humane response than I expected.
Still, you hate on reason, I hate on your pretend deity.
And I was right on calling out that racist piece of shit… wrong in calling you out… right again for apologizing to you.
If you were the real deal, you would agree.
That’s like the people who blamed me for the pedo bullshit Jeff Perry posted under my monicker.
I have yet to hear an apology from any of them.
pussy snowflake admits to being a loser?
Angry come on man. Why allow this guy to litter your blog with this stuff? You have to realize how damaging he is to credibility
As mentioned above, and in a prior post dedicated to this topic: there is an ignore button. It’s the small “x” next to the user’s name.
I get that. But that doesn’t answer the question that everyone here has at one point asked. Why allow it?
Not sure any of it is ban-worthy. It’s just annoying, and you can block it. Every once in a while he makes a cognizant post that’s on point.
How much sexual predator talk, boner talk, wife beating, human trafficking talk would you consider to be ban worthy? You yourself say you don’t know… take a poll? I’m pretty sure you already know the consensus opinion
A@A,
POTUS makes your post a joke.
You have never been one who likes logic. You’re almost anti-logic with most comments. I think you want to think you’re an honest person. But you’ve not exhibited honesty with yourself for years on this blog.
And I’m not the one who brought up the drunk wife beating.
You would think a drunk. wife beating dickhead would be found out with a routine background check.
cause he likes basketball? jax is a freaking loon
pussy snowflake can’t spell friggin?
Yes.
I mean… did you see me call out GA for being a drunk wife beater?
That was so adult of me.
Why don’t you tell us? You were the one that was hanging out at the suite level last night…. where money and decision makers are…. so you know what’s going on.
Why should I tell you shit about anything?
You’re a human trafficker who likes to smell farts.
Why isn’t the media spending time investigating you for this?
I se you have no valid answer for this.
It must be true.
Beauner
Gonna need to call a doctor if we have more than four hours of Beauner.
Imagine years instead.
I really dislike the derisive name altering. It’s like we’re in grade school. Besides, at my age a Beauner can be very good thing.
Seriously?
It doesn’t matter.
Beauner is a serial rapist who snorts coke off his victims.
Why isn’t the fake news reporting this?
I just heard that all GA’s spawn are shoplifters who spit in the faces of homeless children.
Why doesn’t the media spend time revealing this valuable info?
I’ve been a Beaver fan for over 30 years, and this is the lowest this football program has been in my opinion. Some may argue that it was worse during the 80’s -90’s? Keep in mind during the 80s and 90s OSU didn’t have the facilities, resources, or the expectations that they have today. I’ve never witnessed any team quit like that team did last night! President Ed Ray, needs to resign, retire, or fix the mess he’s responsible for. This administration isn’t serious about a winning football program, they only provide lip service and talk the talk during press conferences. Until this administration can convince me that they’re serious about football, I refuse to donate anymore time or financial resources to OSU football! I know that I’m not alone. Life is too short to waste on sh*tty football. I’m distancing myself, and I’ll casually observe from the outside. Being a fan of OSU is exhausting, with the exception of baseball and women’s basketball.
While only being a fan since 1987 gives you a pass for not knowing the brilliance of Joe Avezzano, it doesn’t excuse you from remembering Lynn Snyder.
You never donated shit. You don’t even let cashier’s round up your purchase to the nearest dollar. You’ll be here spewing your tartany bullshit for years to come.
Can you imagine if GA was a sexual predator and a racist wife beater (born with a silver spoon up his ass) who cons the elderly out of their money by providing a fake online university?
Man!
That would be bad.
I mean… that would make him a worse person than any of the bullshit rumors that aren’t being reported by the likes of such ethical men named Canzano or Moran.
Sue him thousands of times because he’s a chiseler, and we have a POTUS.
Taking the anti-green goggles off for a minute, does anyone else think that Herbert will be better than Mariota? He looks like more of an NFL QB than MM did.
Possibly better in the NFL, but I’m not sure he will win a Heisman
pussy snowflake said nothing?
He does have a stronger arm. But he seems to rely too much on that arm. He made a bunch of suspect passes last night that a decent D would have picked.
He has better tools than Mariota, but I don’t know that he has the head. It can be taught, but I also don’t know that Nikegon has the coaches who can do that.
Over reliance on his arm likely related to fear of repeating his recent injury.
True points about the weak Beavs D and the question of whether phil’s coaching staff can improve Herberts decision making/football IQ.
Good point.
He could be reverting to the mean that was expected last week in terms of just looking rusty. So the suspect reads might be compensation.
And let’s be real. Mariota had a great coaching staff who could just condition him to play against a bunch of college scrubs. You could see his progression from that kid who set his feet in one direction then literally moved his head in segments to “look off” the D before turning and throwing to where his feet were originally set. A D can’t read feet. Right?
You can see a lot of Mariota’s wind-up and release in Herbert. I’m pretty sure dude spent hours in his back yard emulating Marcus… to a tee. He probably could not have chosen a better hero for that part of his game.
I never understood the knock on Mariota…He didn’t make many mistakes, I thought he threw a better deep pass than did Mannnion – flatter, hitting receivers in stride instead of throwing high arcing passes the WRs had to wait for – and he seems humble and like a hard worker. His early NFL career isn’t too shabby playing in a very different offense and his relative success hasn’t surprised me at all.
Herbert is from Eugene, correct, with UO his only offer?
There’s no knock on him.
He is who he is. He was stellar when he played against college scrubs and could run and not get injured. Now he plays in a league where running will almost literally kill him, and his lack of training as an actual QB will catch up to him about when he collects on the end of his current contract.
I was wrong in my initial assessment of his NFL abilities. His arm has not changed, but his head is little better than I expected.
The “X” next to the screen name is the best feature of this site. . Now I don’t have to be subjected to Jack’s idiotic posts. I would recommended everybody else take advantage of this great feature Angry has provided.
Fraidy cat wants to take cheap shots without owning them.
such a pussy snowflake
Good.
At least one pussy snowflake read that.
Ha jax will REALLY be talking to himself then and have no one listening. jax needs to learn how to make friends, what a sad lonely dude he must be..
pussy snowflake says what?
Ouch… that one REALLY stung… haha you are so lame old man, buy a joke/diss book and start studying
pussy snowflake says ouch?
Exactly
pussy snowflake says exactly?
I’m nowhere near that level yet. Everyone on here has some good insight every once in a while. While I think it’s a cool feature I’m more inclined to encourage reasonable debate and discussion. Preferably by example.
They get what they give.
None of it is unearned. Thus, their manhood is now in question. This is a blog where they chose to be disrespectful of humanity and/or reason. But they don’t want the responsibility that comes with pissing into the wind.
I mean, it’s hard to blame them… since they’re a bunch of gun-runners who beat the children they imprison before selling them. Why isn’t the media reporting on their activities?
Quote from Eggers post game story. I’m posting this because, imo, what Hungalu has to say about needing coaches demanding perfection from players applies to the basketball program too.
Come on WT get off your ass and demand perfection from your players. Imo it’s either a nice guy or a coach and so far it appears that you’re trying to be the nice guy.
jmo
“…Hungalu praised Hall for coming in “with the right energy and mind-set to get the players to turn things around.” But he felt the Beavers required more.
“We needed that extra next step of coaching,” Hungalu said. “We needed a coach able to demand perfection from players, instead of just telling them to go out there and play your game, to do your thing. We can’t have one half (of the lineup) playing good and one half not playing good, because they don’t know what to do on the play. That’s inexcusable.
“But the players have to be able to take it to another level. They can’t expect to rely on the coaches all the time.”…”
And this, also from Hungalu:
“We didn’t take the preparation seriously. We weren’t doing the right things in practice, and all of us — me, too — expected to go out there and play a lights-out game.”
The result of a “players coach” who was thrust into the IHC spot?
Attributable to a staff of short timers with drinking problems?
Due to players experiencing a season of turmoil?
Primarily, at the root, the fault of GA?
or??
Imo this is yet another reason for Hall to not remain at OSU.
Exactly, too much a players’ coach. Don’t even want that in the secondary.
Very telling quotes. Sounds like practice was a lot of joking around and having fun with coaches who don’t understand the game; then Hall expecting them to go play.
How the hell did they piece together good efforts vs CO and Stanford, though?
Two possible factors: Adrenalin and opponents overlooking the Beavs.
Sounds like they were drinking in prctice.
Why isn’t the media reporting on this.
And Benghaaaaaahhhhhhhzi!!!!!!!!!!
Why isn’t the media reporting on a CIA safe house like it’s a State Department fuck-up?
Hello?
Oooh!
Did anyone know that GA was pimping children out of Cirello’s?
Someone needs to right that shit.
so
fucking
stupid
and
dishinest
That’s what was so bizarre about yesterday. There was no rivalry game intensity, both sides of the ball looked clueless. You and I could have stood on the sideline and achieved roughly the same result. Was Stanford that bad without Love? Is Colorado that shitty of a road team? The Beavers looked like a bottom feeder FCS team yesterday. Why?
Did you think the Friday night “scoop” that Beauner was our new head coach was a meaningless thing?
Why would you play for a program that did that to you?
Angry has information that the coaches were drinking; questions are asked as to why the media doesn’t chase down this story.
IMHO the answer is simple. Angie wants access, Eggers has lost his and is spread thin, the “dampodcast” guy is clueless in most areas. That leaves Moron, the GT, and I suppose Parker (lol).
Moron doesn’t show the energy or smarts to be a true beat reporter. He had the Luke H. thing drop in his lap and was given extra assistance by the crew at the O on that one. I continue to believe a third party (disgruntled relative?) handed to him as a finished product; little actual digging required.
Any story on FB coaches drinking is likely to come from players or coaches (Hall) taking the initiative to get the word out, not from any reporter digging. That could happen fairly soon after the future of players/coaches is made clear.
If Moran really wanted his “signature” piece of journalism, he would investigate how U of O obtained the no. 1 recruiting class for fball and bball… follow the $$$$$$ trail
pussy snowflake says something that makes no sense?
Snowflake?? Aren’t you the lunatic who cries about TRUMP winning? Ha you are so pathetic
pussy snowflake says pathetic?
You taking comments personally? Just because of their source and not related to content?
No.
He just deserves it.
Kerry would report it if it were true.
Done.
I don’t even think they should keep Hall. It’s stupid to me that Barnes and Ray think he should stay. It’s a very bad sign imo. As is the fact that they’re incredibly slow with this all. I think there’s a good shot we’re entering another dark age.
They need to replace this football program root and branch.
Heard some stories about chaos in the Athletic Department, in general. Split on many issues with some wanting power/control instead of working as a team. Some trouble makers in the department. That entire situation should be cleaned out.
Eggers should go “off the record” with Casey and possibly Rueck in order to get ideas on where/how to begin an expose’ on Athletic Dept chaos. He is the only scribe I’d expect to do a good job here; too bad he is spread so thin with Blazers, etc.
Heard some stories????????????????????
Did you see that we already hired Beauner?
On Friday?
Did you just dismiss this as some lowly speed bump in life? That was huge. There will be scorched earth within our AD until that never happens again.
What sort of place did you people learn ethics and/or reason?
Ethics?? From you? HAHAHAHA
pussy snowflake says ethics?
They want Hall to stay? Maybe more of a recruiting role?
pussy snowflake says nothing?
Is that all you got old man, try another diss perhaps? I mean it’s all cheap talk from you since you would never meet me in person, or would you? I’m down you can even have the first punch.. I’ll even come to you or pay for your gas to come to me. PM me if serious than we will see who says “ouch”. Lots of talk about toughness and calling people puddles, here’s your chance to prove it.
My email is in my profile too, I’m serious, we can move this discussion from here to just email to set this up.
pussy snowflake says cheap?
pussy snowflake acts like a pussy snowflake?
Sorry… what profile?
Recruiting role? Quite possibly.
However, what is sorely needed is a solid pipeline to the Poly community. That’s not in Hall’s wheelhouse.
A big part of any rebuild has to be the lines, both O and D. Not entirely dependent on Poly’s, but they seem to be a great starting point.
Disagree on building a non-LDS program around Polys, when they actually make it here they’re great but is seems like that rarely happens. I’d rather go all in on corn fed white boys from the Midwest and monster black kids from the south, at least they’re not brainwashed and will actually have a chance at not flipping to BYU.
I’m conflicted on the potatoes of this message, but I agree with the meat.
You’re right, of course, there is no single recipe.
Riley, the gift that keeps on giving. His time at Neb pretty much screwed any chance of getting many of those corn fed guys!
Just wait til you taste my gravy.
I’m sure your gravy is tasty stuff. ;)
Jack, if the Beau leaks were true why would we be waiting to announce?
precisely
The leaks are a disgrace… a joke. Even if they weren’t intended as a joke, that’s what they are.
I so hope they’re a prank.
It was so extremely disrespectful of our team… and the coaches, most of whom I dislike as coaches.
I would have awakened yesterday to find out I was injured and couldn’t play for a program that dishonored me in such a way.
Or I just wouldn’t have tried.
I bet Beau is the top choice but they must be negotiating and there’s a good chance Beau won’t take the job. Baldwin has them bent over a barrel because if it’s not him I bet their list is not very deep or impressive.
Why would he take the job now?
I don’t have the time or energy to give this topic the effort that it probably deserves so…….
Is Dr. Ray and the athletic department being fiscally responsible?
As I recall bobbyd was given a raise which at that time made him one of the highest paid AD’s in the Pac-12. I see Barnes has a 6 yr contract for $850K/yr so I wouldn’t be surprised if the OSU AD position is still one of the most expensive in the Pac-12.
Then there’s GA’s salary which even if it panned out was probably more than OSU could afford. That’s if one is being fiscally responsible.
What’s got me off on this topic yet again is what I saw in another Eggers’ article “…Almost down to the wire on Oregon State football coaching search…” .
http://portlandtribune.com/pt/12-sports/379362-266326-almost-down-to-the-wire-on-oregon-state-football-coaching-search
Excerpt 1:
“…The Ducks are ranked No. 1 nationally by Scout.com in football recruiting for 2018, with 15 four-star athletes in a stocked-full class of 24. Trailing on Scout’s list: Ohio State, Texas, Penn State and Miami.
Oregon is ranked sixth by Rivals.com and 24/7 Sports.
In basketball, the verbal commitment by 7-1 1/2, 215-pound center Bol Bol — son of the late Manute Bol — from Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada, has propelled the Ducks’ 2018 class into the No. 1 spot nationally by 24/7 Sports.
Behind Oregon: Kansas, Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina. That’s pretty good company….”
——-
Obviously it’s not possible for OSU to compete with all of uo’s bling but, imo, OSU could nip away at parts of it and thus narrow the gap a bit.
Excerpt 2 (the bling part):
” …On Bol’s visit to Eugene, he was taken into the Phil Knight Room, “where they showcase all the new Oregon gear Nike is working on. What I saw in there blew me away. Shoes lined up on chairs. Custom Oregon colorway Jordans. Like 13 different jersey combinations. Nike stuff that hasn’t come out yet. Those Jordan 4 Oregon retros that LeBron was wearing recently … I was just going crazy in there, man. For a kid obsessed with shoes, that was like heaven.”…”
——–
It is what it is and the uofo can only offer x schollies in any given sport so OSU has to be able to compete with the rest of the Pac for the remaining candidates.
Excerpt 3 (more bling BUT…..)
“…Also: “The last thing I loved about Oregon was that the university has one of the biggest social media bands in college sports … I loved that Oregon and the athletic program want to have their own style and identity. I feel the same way.”…”
———–
Imo, the “social media band” is something that is doable by OSU and I’d bet that there are many other things like that which, if implemented by OSU, would help narrow the gap. That’s if Dr. Ray was fiscally responsible and didn’t overpay for AD’s, coaches, etc. etc.
Earlier I proposed that if OSU could find a coach that could recruit Pac-12 level players to OSU and was willing to take the job for about a million (or more) less than what GA was making then OSU could use the excess money to pay down the debt, pay for good assistant coaches AND improve the athletic facilities – – even things like a competitive social media band. Does OSU even have a social media band?
My guess is it wouldn’t be all that hard to come up with a long list of prioritized improvements on which the savings could be spent.
Imo having this kind of a plan could/would/should act as an enticement to the kind of a coach the Beavs would want to hire.
jmo
I am betting the main thing in the Phil Knight room is the cash that gets handed out. UO is 100% paying recruits/players to go there. I don’t care if its ever proven (and many programs do it) but they ain’t getting top recruiting classes without giving serious cash to the players directly.
Exactly, all it takes is some simple math. Hole is competing for recruits with schools that pay their players. Players commit to hole over those schools. Players aren’t giving up cash for nifty shoes.
That or promises of big contracts if they make the nba.
Or if they aspire to a career with the big swoosh.
The real question, would you be okay with OSU finding a billionaire booster willing to hand some cash out?
never
I would go so far as to turn in anyone who takes state money and corrupts it.
I expect the same from people who want to call themselves honest.
Fitting that the last games of the GA regime at Wisconsin and Oregon State were losses with a 59 point margin. Too bad he didnt stick around to witness this one in person.
Sorry, but he quit.
This game was wholly on the disrespect of the Friday night announcement.
I mean… I guess I shouldn’t expect you guys to understand this since you think that GA was a drunk wife-beating pimp who owned a pizza parlor and shit.
That report meant we hated our players.
I don’t blame any one of them for leaving as soon as the quarter is over, given that level of disrespect.
I think he’s more impressive than Smith or Hall, yes. But that he’s the most impressive shows how weak the list is.
I deleted the comment.
I asked if Baldwin was impressive.
Yes, agree he’s more impressive than Hall and Smith. There are a lot of emergency retread hires if we strikeout on Baldwin, and those guys would all be better than GA & the Goons. Don’t think it’s as dire as you think unless Riley/Banker are suddenly in the convo. Then it’s dire.
I’d actually prefer Smith to Baldwin at this point. I have no basis for that beyond a gut feeling (and I like Baldwin) but I just think Smith would put together a better staff at OSU and the staff is gonna be key for either.
There is also the ability to get the boosters invested in the program from the start, I think Smith would achieve that quicker than Baldwin as well.
OSU really needs to reach out to Lane Kiffin, the only HC they are gonna get is someone with baggage (like how WSU got Leach) and Kiffin fits that criteria. None of the other FBS schools seem interested in him (likely due to the baggage); OSU should be all in on Kiffin.
Sadly, I doubt they have even considered him.
He’s never been successful as a HC. He can recruit and he can call plays when he’s under Saban’s iron fist but he’s never shown he can run a program.
Until this year and with a non-Power Five team, but small sample size.
He’s never had a losing season as a college HC (5.5 seasons), he went 10-2 at USC while they were on probation.
I’d argue USC got impatient and didn’t let him work through the sanctions. So I disagree that he has never been successful as a HC.
This is serious shit this time around. I’ve thought that the team needs a proven Power 5 HC and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have the best perception. I guess Kiffin is another one who fits the bill. That being said I don’t know if it’s going to happen.
Oh I am 100% certain it won’t happen. But it should.
so bad
Agree on Kiffin. Beavs have nothing to lose. He was just featured by Football Scoop as best turnaround of 2017 yet they stated unsure if any P5 was quite ready to pull the trigger on him. Then they say shit like next year for sure. That’s a gift gold bar wrapped in cheap newspaper and gives them a realistic shot at the guy while his demand has only creeped forward while the wins for FAU took a huge leap.
Beavs need to desparately shed the nice guy conservative image too. Like DE who had some defensive JC transfer guys with mean streaks and were ferocious. Nice just has equated with patsy for OSU. They would be much better off acting like a lion and get a coach who completely shifts what has been a lousy ‘safe’, conservative culture. Safe barely got OSU 1-11 this year and they were completely outplayed by PSU who ended up winless in the Big Sky.
Wake the F*ck Up Administrators!
Exactly, they need a coach that can back up a fuck the Ducks chant on the O at Autzen. They don’t need to run away from that attitude, they need to embrace it and find a coach that can deliver.
This program needs an attitude.
Yeah… because Fink doesn’t come with actual rumors about co-ed fucking and drunk driving.
Stfu with the Fink talk.
He’s Fink for a reason.
I would rather re-hire GA.
I would rather re-hire Mike Riley.
I would rather hear that Bruce Read is our next head coach than hear that Fink is even being considered by our AD.
But… seeing what happened on Friday night tells me it’s possible.
I’d like to think that uncle phil’s “team” is buying players but I have no proof so it remains just an “I’d like”.
So with that put to rest I can answer this question very easily and that is this:
If everything else was equal (fuel, insurance, etc.) would I rather drive a Chevrolet or a Rolls-Royce?
Rolls-Royce.
The ‘uck recruits are being asked to choose between a chevy and a rolls. Can you blame them for choosing the rolls?
Yes, but they’re not competing for those recruits against OSU. It’s against Washington, USC, and National programs, and they’re winning…those are all more desirable cities, locations, traditions, etc.
BS, they are choosing UO over USC, UW, Alabama, etc….If UO is a Rolls-Royce they are turning down Bentley’s and Aston Martin’s for that Rolls-Royce. And I’d argue UO isn’t even a Rolls-Royce when compared to those other schools. It maybe a mid-range BMW.
Well, I have proof they bought a basketball recruit. I called the FBI hotline when they were investigating this and reported it twice, yet no call back…I told them I had names, the amount of money exchanged, etc.
Yeah… Stubblefield isn’t “connected” in terms of a slush fund. Altman distanced himself from a recruiting visit intentionally because of this.
Lol…Lane Kiffin.
Can’t believe what I’m reading.
Yeah, who would want a great recruiter with a 44-24 record in 5.5 seasons as an FBS HC?
You. Obviously nobody else, which is why he’s at Florida Atlantic.
Do you honestly think Beau Baldwin is a better hire?
I do agree that Kiffin wouldn’t be the #1 guy on the list but OSU isn’t getting the #1 guy on the list, I am certain most schools would hire Kiffin over Baldwin or Smith.
I agree that Beauner is a better hire.
No clue if Baldwin is a better hire, but I know Kiffin is awful and would also never even consider the job.
All clues say Beauner is a better hire than Fink.
If it was down to those two, there’s not even an inkling of a choice.
He shifts the culture which would be huge for OSU right now. Also has a chip on his shoulder and axe to grind against several Pac-12 teams. If you like winning and beating teams and attitude on the recruiting front.
Shifts it into me wanting to just close shop on the football program.
He made Al Davis, of all people, look good. Al Davis hasn’t looked good since he cheated Wayne Valley out of his due.
Looks like Bill Moos will deliver again. Barnes should take 1 hour lessons twice a week.
https://twitter.com/BradKCTV5/status/934877960317947906
Nebraska got their Jonathan Smith? Shocking…..
Note: I am not saying Smith is equal or better than Frost just that its essentially the same thing. The former QB coming home.
Doubt Moos had to do a whole lot to convince Frost to take the job he would have taken 3 years ago and every year since.
I’m not convinced Frost will take them to the promised land. Might win 8 or 9 games, but they had that in Bo and went for Riley. Lol. I think Frost will be good…9 wins. He won’t be winning titles. Nebraska is just not a desirable location, and their tradition was 25 to 100 years ago. Their fans are delusional and won’t accept that, so they’ll sour on Frost eventually, too, but I think he’ll have a much longer leash since he’s one of them.
I think Frost himself understands that to some degree, I thought he might go to Florida. Greater long term upside. He’s not going to put up with a lot of this Husker nonsense, he’s kind of grumpy bastard.
Whoa!
That’s such a surprise.
Was Beauner one of their finalists? He must have been one.
We’ve had our opening far longer than anyone else and we’re still open while all these other jobs are getting filled.
That is what happens when you have the least desirable job.
That’s what happens when your boosters have low self esteem and won’t pony up the cash necessary to get a decent, let alone great, coach.
New thread up.
Interesting.
