Today I woke to a pleasant surprise. The Beavs are on ACB in high definition. Fans will get to see players rather than pixelated blobs. Maybe we'll get real telecasters, too.
I know I picked the Beavs to get blown out (and most here also believe that will happen), but the bad weather makes me think this game will be both closer and lower scoring than we all think.
Go Beavs.
Go Beavs!!
Go Beavers!

lol
Five times this decade a top-10 team has come to Corvallis and lost.
But it isn’t happening again today. Next year, we’ll be scary.
Sorry, but if the Beavs don’t have a big improvement in the OL and the DT, linebacker, DB areas I don’t think they’ll be better than a 500 team. bwdik
That’s how to use the stiff arm. Good job Watkins!
Watkins is such a pile. He got annihilated.
Oh my god, Stanford will NOT be stopped running up the middle. Did you SEE that hole, and our fail tackling?
Holy shit can Watkins tackle at all?!
De Carolis actually listened and painted the Pac-12 logos so they look sharp. At least he did something. Before this I couldn’t find much proof he was listening to any of the fans. The logos look WAY better!
Oh. My. God.
WHAT THE FUCK MANNION!!!
Also, GENIUS fucking call, running a seven-hour passing play inside our own 15. Seriously?
Agnew missed his block.
Seriously. Do we even have any three step drops in our whole damn play book? That is infuriating.
Someone asked if the game was being streamed anywhere.
Here’s one: http://www.justin.tv/kosthaz#/w/2020499184
Any chance of one of those NCAA streams? That link is blocked at work.
I still haven’t figured out how those damned NCAA streams work. I keep hoping someone will walk me through how they find what games are being broadcast.
It’s on espn3
Except for those areas where its blacked out. Like where I live.
Don’t have the newest flash either… It was killin’ me at work during Beavs baseball season.
Why the hell do we EVER have running backs blocking, its SO BAD. Especially when we have so many undersized backs, it’s just incredibly stupid.
Mannion made a great throw on 3rd and super-long, but then Wheaton comes up gimping.
Mannion is not a freshman. He has played 8 games and was scout team qb last year. He just plays like a freshman.
Mannion is a red shirt freshman. Go ahead and disagree with reality if you want.
We avoided disaster there, but we really need to take advantage of every stop we get. And with Wheaton looking hurt, we just lost our most consistent weapon.
Over/under 55 passes this game? I’m taking the over.
Since when do you not get a whole year of being a “freshman”? Also I’d hardly say being the scout team qb hardly translates into actual game experience.
Thanks for the stream link!!
A dropped int;
A gift of a call on the safety;
Wheaton comes up lame; and
a punt into the endzone.
Does not have the feel of an upset…..
Don’t forget Murphy getting burned by a TE who dropped the pass in the end zone.
GREAT play by the defense.
Doctor! Nice athleticism, great play
Love the interception of Luck! Love the painted bright PAC-12 logos!
Hand it to Agnew? NO, you gotta go for the throat after getting the interception. I don’t want to see Romaine.
Good thing our offense looks pathetic. I was worried we’d compete.
Our defense came to play, our offense is still “Throw for 2 yards, run like crap because we have no line.”
Have to make that catch if you want to pull off an upset. Too bad.
Wheaton is beginning to piss me off.
Blazing fast, no hands, doesn’t come up big in big situations…he IS a UO receiver!
Don’t like the punt. 30 yards is NOT impressive. If you want to beat a team that is superior to yours, you have to take smart risks, and going for it there would have been a smart risk.
Wheaton has looked like shit for two games now. Time for Mannion to lock on to a different reciever.
Beavs have looked good, but the formula for winning was +2 TO margin and converting the turnovers into TDs.
Hopefully the weather continues to affect Stanford (i.e. the INT and dropped TD)
Announcers are commenting on Riley being a pussy and punting.
What the hell Murphy, cling to his jersey like you’re a fucking infant holding on to mommy.
Nicely played run by Mitchell.
Lance Mitchell is looking really good. This is what we’ve been waiting for from him.
And…nobody within TWENTY yards of Luck. Double team on the TE, interesting.
I cannot believe they picked up 30 yards on that JANKITY play.
Riley blew his only chance to win this game. By going for it around the 40 yard line we could have scored the first TD and had some momentum for the rest of the 1st half. Stanford will punch it in now and will get in a groove of long drives and scoring TDs. Way to go McRiley.
Riley is a pussy it was 4th and 5 on the 40 yard line, shoulda gone for it..
Emotion will take this D only so far, haven’t seen conditioning this year to convince me they keep this close. Prove me wrong Beavs, please. Emotion also often leads to over persute
I agree with all you guys…this game is now over. They had opportunity and let it pass by. Typical, really.
And the beating begins.
Good job Beavs. Played 15 minutes of decent football. Defensively anyway.
It seems like they’re content with that…”we could have competed if we tried…” mentality…
Yep. I can’t fucking stand the beat down lollygagging Riley mentality this offense has. Get up and stroll back to the huddle. Punt on 4th and manageable. Let the clock run out at the half when you’re down.
Fucking have some fire and try to win you fucking bitch.
I definitely wouldn’t say the offense played 15 minutes of decent football. Two bad drives, including what should have been called a safety.
Proud of the defense, hopeful for its future.
But come on, game over? Seriously? 3 quarters to go. And while it would have been nice to jump out to another 21-point lead, that just wasn’t going to happen. If the offense gets some rhythm, and the D keeps playing hard, we can still win this.
It’s just not likely.
Very big IF, O has got to show up, D can’t keep this up all day. Funny, many thought D would be the problem today.
That third and 5 play was big. The Beavers could have had good field position if they got a stop. Instead, they play 8 yards off the receiver and it’s an easy first down. Then once Luck ran for 17 on 3rd and 3 they got it rolling. Beavers about to be taken to the woodshed now. When you have chances you can’t blow them against squads like Stanford. They will eventually get it going.
There were only
3 defenders there. You got that, Mannion!!
Did Mannion just lob it into quadruple coverage?
Yep. But wonderboy made a quick decision to lock on to Wheaton and throw into quadruple coverage. And that’s what matters right?
He didn’t throw to Wheaton.
Looked like #2 to me.
Regardless, I don’t give a fuck if he’s throwing to Michael Irvin. Quadruple coverage is ill advised.
Really hating the play calling. Nothing new.
CB’s actually making some plays for once.
TV announcer says Banker is excellent compliments pass coverage technique!!
Good thing it’s raining. We should be down by 3 touchdowns.
“Well-coached defense” hahahah
Brock Huard praising Mark Banker for teaching the defensive backs to look back for the ball. LOL.
WTF did I just hear! Now I know I’m in a parallel universe!!
Don’t wanna jinx em but the dbacks are looking good.
Riley doesn’t challenge…yet again
you only challenge if you want to win the game. Riley doesnt care.
Why didn’t riley challenge that just to slow things down at least?
Stanford has run one pass play. 3rd and 4, 5 yard out
Nobody in the front 7 is making any plays. Had the pick from Doctor but other than that they’ve been pretty bad.
imo #13 is lucky he didn’t get flagged on that one.
Chance to lay a hard lick on Luck and Crochton barely touches him. Now a Stanford TD. Looks like Riley has Stanford right where he wants them. Looks like a 2-10 season to me. MAJOR changes needed!
No pressure on Luck is killing us. Don’t see that changing. Good game!
You going to say that at 42-3? Its going to get worse.
Ok, if you’re not going to challenge, use a timeout, they’re clearly getting in a groove….
Riley is wallpapering his den with unused challenge flags.
The reason you challenge that catch: the D can’t keep stopping Luck.
As a coach, you have to know that and see the risk/reward is worth it. Riley is so slow.
Beavers showing life offensively.
More James Rodgers!
Rodgers clearly doesn’t have his old speed…
Fucking Wheaton.
My man Rodgers!! Leaders like him are our only remote shot! He energizes the crowd.
Not only the crowd but the team as well.
Nice drive. Mannion hung in and made some nice throws.
God Bless James, more inspiration now for the D even though they are on the field a lot.
I’ve so missed seeing James in the end-zone. Good for him!
No coincidence the Beavers moved it in the air when they went to James. He never drops passes. He may not have the speed he once did, but he runs great routes and has great hands. He needs to get the ball a lot more. Wheaton has speed and lots of potential but he is always dropping passes these days.
Is Mannion learning what Katz knew last year?
Get the ball to James!
Holy shit, Poyer killed a guy :/
FUCKING SWEET. Poyer came to play today!
I typed that before I realized the receiver was injured…I don’t like injuries, but I think Poyer is obviously a clean player, and he is backing up his words from this week with effort.
That was an absolutely atrocious call.
Good job fixing the Pac-12 refs, Larry Scott.
Looked clean to me. The guy lowered his head and Poyer lead with the shoulder. That was a great play.
Amen.
That’s a bullshit call. The frigging receiver bent down.
He led with his fucking shoulder.
Riley showing emotion!
So now any time a helmet hits another helmet it’s 15 fucking yards?
Totally confused with that call. He catches the ball takes two steps…how is he not a runningback?
Same exact thing happened in the Oregon-Stanford game last year. Only Oregon was allowed to keep the touchdown with no flag.
Beavs never get the game-changing calls. Never. Oregon gets every one.
Can Riley challenge that call?
Nope
Banker was letting the refs have it!
The refs cost us a TD….Riley messed up his zombie characterization and talked to the refs…
Worst part is that the game should be all tied up 14-14 right now. Poyer earned that TD fair and square.
That was a bullshit call, the receiver lowered his helmet that is the only reason it was helmet to helmet. Good to see Banker and Riley arguing though.
Reminds me of the hit on the UW QB Locker a few years back at Reser – LOCKER lowered and led with his head, not the OSU defender (Afalava?)….
I think Riley threw his headset? Dude was just strapping it back on?
You have to be kidding me. I’m so sick of these new tackling rules in the NFL and college. Afalava used to have some actual dirty helmet-to-helmet hits. That was not a dirty hit at all. As Brock Huard is saying, how was Poyer supposed to play that differently?!
Answer me this: the reciever lowered HIS head before the hit. Why isn’t the penalty on him?
Stanford getting banged up for next week, worsening their chances at OSU, but probably still win today.
These zebras have ruined football at every level.
I love how Brock’s killing these refs.
“flag football” haha
Yeah no shit Huard isn’t letting it go. Ha.
He shouldn’t. It was an embarrassment.
Feel bad for the player, but that was a legal hit and is an unfortunate part of the game.
Crowd’s in it too.Still booing.
Truly a huge call. Stanford can go up 21-7 into halftime. That’s huge. Should be 14 all.
Feels like it’s going to be a dogfight now
Get that shit outta here!
This D has came to play. I didn’t see the screwed-up call.
Wish our O could score more than 7.
Riley is so bad.
Let’s 15 seconds run off the clock before calling a timeout. Obvious timeout situation…heck, he should have called it the play before. Brock all over him. Another telecaster killing Riley.
Riley never called a timeout. Stanford did.
Angry, cam Collins read ur site and made a play
Between that call and the pass that was on the ground, the refs have given 10 points to the Cardinals…
minus the 2 pts for the touchback.
Pac-12 refs suck.
The plan there has to be “keep 50 seconds on the clock, try to get a big kick return and FG attempt..”….why waste 15 seconds? I just don’t understand.
Horse collar facemask!!!!!!!!!!!!
And right on cue, a big return…now they might not have enough time to get into FG range. Riley is an idiot.
That looked like a “payback” hit to me bwdik
OH MY GOD. 17 seconds left, CALL A FUCKING TIMEOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God damn it Remmers!
WTF IS RILEY DOING?! CALL A FUCKING TIMEOUT
WOW
Butchery. Riley cannot manage a clock. Never could, but this is absolute butchery. I’d love an apologist to explain how that is not pure (terrible) coaching.
TIMEOUTS?!?
Okay seriously… why the F*** did Riley let all that time run off of the clock?! Do we even want to win?
Andy Reid called to give some clock management advice. Holy shit.
Damnit to hell Riley. Call a frickin’ timeout. Riley should be fired for not being able to manage the most basic situations. WTF!
Mannion stared down his RB on the flare route. Nice play, where your checkdown is your #1 option.
Lettuce is going to miss this FG.
FUCK MIKE RILEY
THAT IS ALL
BOOOOO!
FUCK MIKE RILEY
Fire Mike Riley.
Sounds like a combination of HORRID refs and HORRID coaching on the offensive side of the ball. Fucking shocking.
HOW ARE THESE TOOLS STILL EMPLOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck Mike Riley.
That is all.
Brock Huard is laying the wood on the coaching staff and it’s well deserved. The coaches blame the players weekly for these losses, yet, from an outside perspective, on multiple occasions, our coaching staff’s decisions are being questioned. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks
Fucking A, these kids have the talent today to beat Stanford but are being put in a position to lose. Fuck Mike Riley, Langsdorf and Banker (though hes doing okay this game)
MR is an idiot
Imo Bobby D is the idiot
Fire Mike Riley thread is up. I can’t take him anymore. No more playing nice here…he needs to go.
How can they possibly afford the buyout? See Cal and JT.
I’ve been seeing posts about this “big” windfall coming to OSU as a result of the new TV contract. Imo that would be money well spent buying him out.
Our D on the field just short of 21 minutes in the first half against an outstanding offense. Right now I see good things ahead on D for the Beavs. Talking here of next year, when I expect more of the D-line.
Ready to see how much help our O will give the D in the second half. Looks like the coaches won’t be much help!
BDC= BobbyDon’tCare
I gotta say, the Beavers are giving it all they have so far. While they may not prevail, there is no doubt as to their huge effort. Sadly, the same cannot be said for their bumbling, stumbling, HC.
Too bad we don’t see efforts like that against Sac State, etc. Bad coaching on MR’s part.
Thus the comments earlier about even a win against Tree or Ducks would not let this coaching staff off the hook.
I was honestly amazed that the offense lined up and took some shots before halftime.
Downing the ball and walking off the field like a bunch of 2 ball bitches with 30 seconds left on the clock is a Riley signature move.
Agee, but proper clock management could have allowed two more shots. Lets not even talk about Romaine!
Absolutely.
Romaine’s kick was blocked…
I missed a big part of the second quarter. But I saw terrible playcalls on offense, and terrible game management by Riley.
Seriously, run Agnew up the middle more. CAN I BUY A STRETCH PLAY!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, 1st down: Run up middle. Second down: 2 yard pass/draw. 3rd down: long pass. 4th down: Punt. After game, blame players for not tackling.
I should have gone on Halloween as Riley; I have my impersonation down perfectly.
TAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go Halahuni!
This isn’t the game thread.
Huh?
huh?
No running game makes it hard to score 7s in the red zone.
That was a fuckin’ TD!!!!
That was a TD, for sure.
Stanford is MELTING, MELTING, MELTING!!!!!!!!!!
touchdown.
2nd half thread is up. Use that instead of this one.
Agnew showed some good strength there.
Touchdown Beavers. Can the Beavers pull this one off? Btw, Mannion has outplayed Luck. He’s really only made 1 bad throw.
I am loving our secondary today! Except Watkins of course. He sucks.
Mitchell playing really well today. DB’s looking for the ball… what?? :)
Wtf is up with these calls?!
That was almost hands to the face by the other guy…man.. zebras..
Collins blew that one.. ugh
“Turn out the lights, the party’s over.”
Katz please
We suck!
Yeah, we suck, in the ball game in the fourth when even the diehards were predicting blowout. Criticize the coaches if you want, but this team is going to come together. They also have the talent to beat anyone in the Pac-12.
Please don’t drive until you sober up. I also could win the lottery!
I’m I the last masochist watching this?
Guess i’ll have to talk to myself
Beavergopher you are the greatest poster.
Thank you.
We are in the 2nd half thread.
Why punt?
At least Nebraska is losing so I can give my brother shit.
