We better not lose to the Zips. Will be happy coming out of this at least 2-1, but if we lose this first game, all bets are off. Hopefully the beavs play like they did against Maryland, but better because it looks like Maryland isn’t a competitive team. The Zips are the kind of feisty chip on the shoulder team that the Beavs struggle with and hopefully this one doesn’t come down to coaching.
Beavs are currently 2.5 underdogs to Akron. The mightly powerhouse of Akron is giving points to the Beavers at a neutral site!!! At least Vegas has low expectations for the Beavers.
Does Akron have a better RPI than the Beavs? I’m too lazy to look it up, but that might be what the oddsmakers are going with. Hard to shake the Coppin St. loss also.
It’s games like Coppin State that give me zero confidence regardless of opponent. I would like to think that the Beavs as a Pac12 school would simply be better than these teams but obviously not. At least coach Rob is single handedly keep Arrowhead bottled water and stadium chair companies in business.
Iowa State just finished off George Mason 79-67 so OSU gets ISU tomorrow with a win or George Mason with a L. Tip off pushed back to 5pm Pacific time due to previous game ending late.
Does anyone want to win either the NFC North or East divisions? Neither has a team with more than 8 wins currently. I get it that Chicago and GB have had injuries to their starting qb’s but Detroit and Dallas have no excuse. The fact that Dallas is trying to hand the division to cheatin chip and the Beagles is pathetic
Was it bad? I ha just turned the game on when they got to the 5 with ~30 seconds left and got to the 1 with 20 seconds left. And the penalty ruined it screwed the the whole thing up. I would say they pulled a remmers or more recently a Caleb smith.
Very bad. They were putzing around with under a minute left once they got inside the 10, then they ran the ball twice (one got called back due to penalty) with no timeouts left. The time they lost being slow at the line of scrimmage killed them, because there was a 10 second runoff due to the penalty. So the game ended on a 2nd down because they were so slow and disorganized. It was as if Green Bay thought they had all the time in the world once they got inside the ten.
Not really. It’s just like any management position overseeing 150-200 people… only you don’t have to worry about maintenance on facilities or purchasing, sales and shipping (if we’re talking about manufacturing). SInce this is entertainment, coaching is precisely the same as being the director of a TV show. Any schlep with industry experience can do it, and your relevance depends more on who you know than what you know.
dunno if you heard about that nutjob.eu was shuted down so its bad, but they have some similar sites http://nutjob.net/ where can be find some streams…and chat too ;)
Ugly basketball! Beavs look like a JV team without a coach. I don’t know who we can beat in the Pac 12. Nelson and Collier both lackadaisical today and a number of other players are not Pac 12 caliber add to it that CR is not a Pac 12 caliber coach and it’s another embarrassingly long BB season.
Jeeeeezzzzus christ! WTF is this crap again!!!! I don’t even know what to say. We have all these tall dudes who are tall, but they completely suck. My question is what are the games going to look like when we have to defend a true 2 or 3 like we’ll see in conference. We have zero point guards on this team, and that will start to become a viscous cycle of disappointment when we have to play a team like ASU with Jahii Carson or the other teams that actually have a player with ball skills. Roberta is going to get his ass handed to him again because everyone will start piling on him and he will become the human turnover machine all over again. Well, looks like it’s going to be a long winter and a lot of whiskey until baseball season…
Hallice Cook is a guard and will be a star. The kid is a player and a leader. He can play number one, and number two, he’s the only guy on the team with the balls to tell Eric Moreland to quit screwing around in practice and to quit being such a constant clown. I wouldn’t doubt he told him to try showing up for class occasionally as well. Cook is a serious young man.
Moreland is a friendly enough guy, and a ball player, but he isn’t the leader some people seem to think he is. I wonder where that even came from.
Thank God I DVRed the game and didn’t waste two hours on this live. I could tell after 10 minutes that Akron was tougher and better coached.
The ESPN team was all over the place with it’s praise for Robinson and “what a outstanding job he’s done”. The graph pointing out that he’s the 5th all time winningest coach sold me!
DVR Probation is the only way to watch any Beaver game. Watch until it gets out of hand…fast forward to final…. delete…crack a beer. Merry Christmas to all!! JB
And now for some good news, the 4th ranked baseball team has 5 named to the Collegiate Baseball preseason All-America Team. Conforto a first teamer, 3 second teamers and a third teamer.
Parker mentions the Beaver sponsor “Dutch Bros” as in Bros before hoes. I’ve always thought they were Dutch Brothers although spelled “Dutch Bros.”
Maybe theyre trying to appeal to the inner city audience? Or maybe Parker doesnt know his sponsor very well.
college basketball on a whole is hard to watch. I have switched to the NBA almost exclusively, because even the good college programs look inept. The atmosphere is only good thing about college basketball. Wait until conference play, you will see 10 minute stretches of absolute garbage.
FYI I was just informed of this today. I had not seen this article from last spring, but by his own admission Robinson doesn’t know jack shit about defense…………….
By his own admission, he is not a good defensive coach; “I’d like to get better at the whole concept of man-to-man defense” is what he told me in January. OSU has finished last in the conference in scoring defense each of the last three years and last in field goal percentage defense two of the last three years. Robinson is not good at making in-game adjustments; OSU blew eight halftime leads this season. He’s not a good late-game coach; OSU was 1-7 in games decided by four points or less.
I think the article about sums it up. When you look at the numbers Robinson has not really created any significant separation from Jay John.
7-4 now, so if there’s another freefall in league play a 20 loss season is a distinct possibility. I really don’t care who the coach is, I just want to see the Beavers compete in league play again before I die.
An unlikely sponsor for a basketball tournament.

If the Beavs can somehow manage to win today (I’m not expecting it) then more than likely a pasting by Iowa State tomorrow would be forthcoming.

ye/. Akron – Current RPI of 75. Beavs – 134. Notice that powerhouse Choppin State (3-6 record) is at 152

I hadnt heard Obama was planning to attend this game, but sounds like that is the plan.

Wow, Green Bay just pulled a Riley. Running the ball with 30 seconds left and general clock mismanagement.

Of course I didn’t see the whole drive.

Could be that coaching is a hard job…
Nah, they are just incompetent and us fans could do a better job!

Beavs come out with a hot start and promptly trail 10-0. Groan
Rat ball offense with no defense.
Took the entire half but Nelson hits a 3 at the end of the half. Beavs battled and got back in it, trail 35-34 @ halftime
oh boy. Angus Brandt has to be helped off the court after his knee collided with another players
Now there’s zero chance of that elusive NCAA tournament spot this year. Time to call it a year for growth.
and a built in excuse. I guess this team just needs to find its identity

Where has Collier been? 6pts?

All I have to say is why do you run iso with Olaf with 2 minutes left? Terrible
Hedelin committed to Michigan St.
Who dat?
JC OL that visited last weekend.
Bummer. Cue the lack of depth at O- line excuse.
Damn. Guess he was swayed by that whole Rose Bowl thing.

I’m pretty sure we all saw the whole team play like number two last night. At least those who watched it.
We lose to Zips?
What are Zips? Is this what we have become; losers to Zips?
What are Zips?
Zippered rubber overshoes. Beavers took a pounding from a rubber!
It makes sense.
You should have been around for Evanston and Ball State.
Haha, I just checked the box score.
What a mess.
Perpetual rebuilding!

I don’t even waste hard drive space for the basketball team.

Violating a team rule? That Boise State team rulebook is pretty comprehensive if it has a rule against “urinating off a balcony” listed.
Falls under the no whipping it out in public rule.

That can’t be true. Everybody knows you can’t recruit talent to Corvallis.
Plus, Baseball America has our incoming recruiting class ranked fifth in the nation. Riley also settles for fifth….in the Pac-12 North.
CFN picks Beavs.
http://cfn.scout.com/2/1354860.html
Wow, 3 pt favorites against a mediocre Boise St team that’s on it’s 3rd string QB.
I’m hopeful Vaz gets a little playing time in this game, so his last meaningful playing time memory isn’t this.
http://on.pac-12.org/12X96xY
George Mason looks dead to start the game, 6-2 beavs.
Wow, early start in Hawaii
anyone got an audio stream that works? Trying to listen at work and it’s not working.
You must really hate your job
Haha.
yeah this fry bucket at mickey d’s career isn’t really working out for me
Parker mentions the Beaver sponsor “Dutch Bros” as in Bros before hoes. I’ve always thought they were Dutch Brothers although spelled “Dutch Bros.”

I prefer Dutch Brothas
“A large Kicker please.”
I heard that from the Pac crew on Tuesday too. It must be intentional.
G. Mason has taken the lead just before the end of the 1st half.
Holy crap.
this is unpleasant to watch
college basketball on a whole is hard to watch. I have switched to the NBA almost exclusively, because even the good college programs look inept. The atmosphere is only good thing about college basketball. Wait until conference play, you will see 10 minute stretches of absolute garbage.
NBA has been hard to watch for a long time
followed it on game tracker. sounds like GM went cold at the end and the beavs made their free throws to pull away.
They just said CR has a good chance at making ncaa tourney?
This was actually a good half of ball, both teams right around 50% from the field, Hawai’i by 2 at the break.

FIRE BDC!!!!!
Not looking good today either 19-8 in the second half. Some of it has been barely watchable
They fight back but when they need a clutch shot, got nothing.
I’m thinkin we could get this guy. He’s a bougar but I can live with it
