It’s Official: Golf coach Reehoorn has stepped down to do some caddying.
It’s Official: Construction of a 15,000-square-foot field sports building will begin in July.
It’s SORTA Official: The NCAA can’t enforce rules against players gambling on their own teams………players gotta do something with their multimillion dollar paydays, right?
General thread, kick around whatever topics strike yer fancy!
And………….GO BEAVS!
First?
I should add, this site has always been a great place to share the joy, frustration, angst, worries and fellowship that goes with being a Beaver fan. Don’t know what I would do if there wasn’t a place to vent. Go Beavers!!! Have a good summer y’all!!!!
Danton is first. Sanitation is second. I am third.
Damn auto correcting!
“DanOregon” is first…second…
There’s a lot of talk today about the upcoming OSU vs Texas Tech game. Daschell and the O think that OSU should cancel the game unless their rotten QB is suspended for the year. It is a sound moral argument, but a piss poor financial argument. There’s a million dollar buyout clause and millions in tv, ticket and concessions to surrender with such a move. Unless some other big 4 conference opponent arranges to step into the void with us and arrange to make the trip to Corvallis in September… it ain’t going to happen.
Right?
Right.
And we’re gonna learn a lot about the new AD as a decision is made and communicated.
A line from Daschel’s piece:
Given how much fans of college athletics hate Texas Tech, OSU could start a Go Fund Me and probably raise the $1 million in 10 minutes.
Place a million dollar bet on kalshi that the Beavs will cancel the game. Then cancel the game. problem solved.
LOL, great thought! But it comes with negative consequences.
Daschels’s GoFundMe route actually comes with positive consequences, right?
I am positive that negative consequences don’t exist anymore for gambling on insider info these days
True, but I was thinking the hypocrisy of your (joking?) suggestion would be apparent and lead thinking observers to cast OSU as “pot calling kettle black”.
Why would you cancel your marquee nonconference football game? Dumbest thing they could do. Because you know it will be replaced with some hapless 1-AA team.
has landed a defensive line commitment.
Josiah McKee, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound defensive tackle, committed to the Beavers on Fri. He took an official visit to Corvallis last weekend and chose OSU over offers from Memphis, Southern Miss and James Madison.
