I’m still going with the Beavs in this one on the idea Riley learned from last week (ha ha!) and gets his play makers like Jarmon, Brown, and Villamin more reps. Probably wishful thinking, and this game will more likely come down to whether OSU’s defense can slow a good Cal offense. OSU’s offense matches up well vs Cal so I expect 30 something points.
We have seen many times that expecting Riley &co to do something rational or obvious goes without a positive result.
So I expect the same muddled thinking, slow ingame reactions, bad clock management, poor play selection, etc….
Cal is beatable. Maybe Riley will choose this game to care enough…
Riley wants 6 wins. A bowl game is the expectation set explicitly and implicitly by his contract structure. People respond to incentives.
I think Riley is all-in on any remaining game where we have a reasonable shot, until we hit the magic 6. Then we’ll revert to dinosaur mode.
That said, Riley all-in does not guarantee a win. Losing out would not shock me. I think the two most likely scenarios are:
Beat CAL and WSU. Lose the rest OR
Beat CAL and lose to WSU. WIn some other upset game down the stretch, where we’re a heavy underdog and the opponent disrepects us.
I call this a 6-6 season. And like Tedford’s last few years, we’ll win enough games to have a reasonable record (on paper) to which supporters will rally, but all wins will be against bad teams and we will be uncompetitive against good teams.
Riley likely shits himself again. Cal will have reasonable offensive production but Oregon St stalls out a couple more times and on the clutch. Get your pitchforks and torches out and don’t tolerate this awful product. Riley is in a downward slump that will keep happening in most games until he is gone. Lose tonight to a bad team he is supposed to beat and this program is spinning down the toilet in Riley’s shit until he disappears.
A loss tonight seals DeCareLess not being around to further f*ck OSU past 2016. He would be done. That is worth alot more to Oregon State moving forward than maybe getting a who cares bowl that means we will have that many more losses to be force fed in the future under an underperforming and mistake prone Riley in obvious decline.
Might I infer from your post that you think it would be of great benefit to Beaver Nation to Fire BDC Now?
Connor Halliday carted off the field with an air cast on his leg. Probably done for the year.
So Beavs have a shot at 6 wins now if the win tonight.
Go Beavs?
Oh, come now. You know how OSU does with first time starting QBs. We make them look like Heisman candidates.
Miley Cyrus. I mean Cyler Miles
TCU game shows why being pass happy is a dumb OSU strategy in the vast majority of games against decent teams. All West Virginia or teams have to do is hold just enough to make completion very difficult to near impossible and 2/3 of the time the refs don’t call it. Amazingly they played good D, got the ball back and made long FG to win at the buzzer.
Look for Heismannion to be sacked 5 times tonight and Riley gets too pass happy again because some aren’t that far from being completed but aren’t. Wake me up when Riley & BDC are gone and OSU is ready to strive for something more. Riley’s inability in all games that might make anyone take notice is dreadful. Seen the same old script in loss after loss but he changes nothing.
Won’t travel to see this team anymore and there are thousands more tonight not attending that are voting with their wallets. Its the best hope we have to wrap this farce up in the next couple years and move on. Hip Hip Horrific!
Washington State getting trounced in the fog and rain in front of about 300, not counting the band, remaining fans. For a minute I thought they were replaying one of my games from the epic 96 season in good old Parker. JB
PS: What’s the over/under on Mannequin err Mannion sacks tonight? I predict at least five.
Had a friend put in a bet for me at Caesar’s. Took the Moneyline on Cal for $200. If Riley screws the pooch like usual I will earn $330 in profit. Also put $110 on the Over 64.5 and will profit another $100 if right. By not being a blind apologist like Goe, I think I got a good shot at $430 profit at end of night but only risking $310.
Figure Riley is reliable for 5 false starts, a delay of game or two, running it out of endzones for lost yards, poor clock management, and will put too much on Mannion. So yeah add five sacks to the mishaps. This bet and Riley’s bad coaching are gonna buy daddy a new HDTV!

For some reason I want a quack loss more than a beaver win tonight. I don’t think I’m getting either :-(
I understand. Honestly, the thoughts of Oregon possibly winning a national championship are even more depressing than the idea of Mike Riley still being the OSU coach a decade from now.
I think I care more about what the duckies do because at least they’re relevant. We’re just…. poopy lately and entrenched in mediocrity with a sprinkle of wtf no-shows.
My family is 90% Duck fans that have made the past 5-6 years unbearable at times. If they manage to win a national championship (or as they love to call it, the “Natty”) I know I will never get to hear the end about it until the day I die.
My sympathies. It’s unfortunate your family has no taste.
same boat here. EVERYONE in my family except whiskey are duck fans. Unfreakingbearable
I had to divorce my wife because she bought my boys Mariota jerseys at Fred Meyers this summer.
Ducks football, it’s always the kids who suffer
divorce? Why didn’t you just bury her in the back yard with the dog shit?
Win? Don’t you mean buy? They will never beat the SEC so no worries
I can’t think of anything more depressing than Riley still coaching the Beavs two years from now. Seriously we may be down to barely 20K at games by then. The downslide is going to continue. BDC will not survive it. Praying Riley retires and lets the university move on as program will be stuck at or near bottom for years otherwise.
You guys are sad.
DUH
Such is the life of a Beaver fan these days.
I just like the Ducks to get enough losses each year to quiet the “natty chatter” from their arrogant fans. Unfortunately with the playoffs, it looks like it will take two losses to keep them out of the conversation, so I’ll be rooting for one more loss. I don’t abide by this cheer for the state of Oregon bullshit.
I would root for Boise State over their pathetic attention whore asses. They are what is wrong with college football
Stanford D looks slow and out of position.
Losing containment on Mariota way too easily. Pretty much, everything Stanford has done right on defense the last two years, they aren’t doing tonight.
Trees playing like they have termites and wood rot
Ducks making Stanford look like a September FCS tune up game…opps I forgot we lose those.
Marriotta is a freaking stud….have to be impressed.
Grudgingly agree
And there was talk about how this might be the best defensive unit Stanford has ever had. So much for that.
It only appeared that way because they were playing against the OSU offense.
Broken right fibula for Connor Halliday. His Wazzu career is over.
https://twitter.com/JacobThorpeSR/status/528709129159077888
Sucks for him and wazzu… He was one of the players on the team who seemed to most give a crap.
Good news for hip hip hooriley
yeah that’s a likely win now
Good news for Mannion too. His Pac-12 passing record will last more than a couple weeks now. Seemed there was so much chatter about Mannion breaking the record but Halliday was going to blow right by him within a week or two.
Beavers cover the four. 38-30
Duck fans can bitch and moan all they want, if they get left out it will be because of their defense.
That and RichRod eating their lunch again this year
Okay beavs, time for a Pac win
Cant understand how blind refs can be missing the blatant horsecollar duck defender uses to prevent the Stanford TD. Right in front of two refs and ripped him down by the neck of his jersey. Stanford scored on the next play anyway, but how does that play get by with a no-call?
Feels like the Oregon lead should be a lot larger than it is right now. Stanford comes out strong on the opening drive of the 2nd half, and it’s a legitimately interesting game.
Might be fantasy, but it would be nice to see Stanford score on that first possession and then see if their D has made any adjustments. Duck receivers are running wide open, they have to get more pressure on Mariota. Duck defense has not stopped Stanford, if the Cards had a slightly better QB they could be ahead.
The most annoying thing to me about watching this Oregon game is the reminder of how easily we had the “black out” theme stolen from us within our own state. I still can’t believe how quickly BDC caved to the PC police on that one. Instead we get “bold in black” aka wear-whatever-you-want-while-our-rivals-make-a-marketing-campaign-out-of-the-color (shade?)-we’ve-worn-for-decades.
Ohhh……I thought it was “Bolden Black”, which did seem a little unnecessarily anti-pc.
Hogan finally remembered he’s Hogan :-(
If Riley looks like he is losing this there will be a “Poopy Play of the Game” nominee time near the end of the game. A way for suffering fans to call out worst moments if Riley shits his panties again.
Furd may not punt all night long and still not score anywhere near enough points to win.
Wow, a stupid decision on a pass from Mariota. Don’t see that very often.
If Riley is conservative, Shaw is freaking head of the Tea Party
They really needed a TD there. I hate passes that don’t go to the 1st down marker unless you are hitting a receiver in stride.
Hogan falling back to earth. Fumbles at the WORST possible time. Ducks score here and this one’s over.
Hogan is who we thought he was. Game over. My only hope is that Utah can be this years Stanford in Salt Lake City next week.
they’ve got some injured guys not playing tonight. But yeah, I’m interested in seeing that defense stack up against the ducks
They showed the Banker Hand JIVE! Cal first down follows.
Hand jiving and hardcore gum chewing on full display already
Confusion on Special Teams costs a TO early, surprise surprise
Probably were not ready for a possible fake.
Per Jim Wilson, the 12th player was running onto the field. TO to avoid penalty.
And, in other SpTm highlights, a 33 yard punt. Go Bruce Read!
Wow, no points by the other team on the opening drive. Crazy.
Wow, what a pointless play on 3rd down. Wouldn’t Mannion have a 2nd option if the flat route is covered?
That catch looked good, Beavs got a break.
That was a Cal catch. Not sure why booth did not review and overturn. Dykes should have thrown the challenge flag.
Wow another false start on 2nd and short
Caleb Smith false start again! Siiigh
35 yd punt, nuff said.
Yeah, what the hell has happened to Kostol?
Wilson, “Kostol hasn’t hit a good punt in 4 weeks”
Our offense is a joke. Not a funny joke, more like a poor taste joke that makes everyone uncomfortable and nervous.
Not funny haha, funny queer.
Looks like the cream of P-12 officiating is in Corvallis tonight.
Two 3 and outs to start for OSU offense. Worst offense in scoring in Pac-12. Will it be 3 three and outs?
Run the ball?
But there’s a passing record to break….
Its another…OhhEssUuu…Punt. Hip Hip Horrific.
Caleb Smith with a false start and drops a 1st down catch on 3rd down. Kostol with 3 punts for 30, 34 and 29 yards. Way to earn that paycheck Reid. This team is beyond fucking dysfunctional
Jacquizz Rodgers really wants to watch this trainwreck?
First down!
Is John Embree available? Matt Wells, Jim McElwain or Ed Orgeron all would be so much better than watching Riley incessantly crap away games.
What is Smith’s “deal? I mean, no offense, but you’re at home, not on the road in front of a loud. What’s with all the false starts, is he not so pretty bright?
Nice run by Woods there. If only he had that extra gear to finish it off.
::gasp:: A successful run sets up a playaction pass, and makes the pro-style offense work like it is supposed to. Think Riley will get the hint?
If only there was another RB on the roster with an extra gear?!?
Dockery! Great run by Woods, well blocked.
Nice run by Storm. Let’s see if Cal responds.
2 straight plays with positive yardage? has that happened yet this season?
By our opponents, yes
Glad the defense is our strength.
Game going about how I expected so far. OSU scoring but Cal quickly responding with a TD helps me reach the 65 combined points I need for the OVER call on 64.5. Bears winning is my main bet and with Riley on the sideline I am feeling good.
Caleb Smith is a waste of oxygen.
He’s been horrible, such a talent can’t put it together. It’s all upstairs with him.
I have to agree about the O2… Sorry but VB gets knocked down with a gust of wind.
Dropped passes everywhere.
I’d like to see some Jarmon in the passing game. Not sure what is going on there. Villamin seems hit or miss; gets open but can’t finish plays consistently yet.
I lost count of how many drops were reported by Villamin in Spring and Fall Camp.
On that CAL TD beavs audibled into a zone pass protection. Also, Larry Scott does not go to the ball at all on curl routes. He notices the WR not near him and as he turns around the ball is thrown to that WR and Scott has to wait to make a play in order to not be called for a penalty. Aka, he’s not a very good DB.
I can forgive Murphy cuz he is on defense, but Villamin has GOT to catch that that.
How often does the Banker defense always seem a half step or half arm away from sacking the qb? #sameold
Parker sounding a bit discouraged, doubt that applies to Goe yet.
We’ve never been able to tackle… They just dive or flail. Weak.
Check out @beaverkman’s Tweet: https://t.co/kvEvNySg2S
Cal quickly calls TO to improve chances for another score, never see Riley act that fast.
Riley up to his usual ways. Under performing and on his way to losing again. Put a fork in Riley. And BDC. The dud duo can go out together.
Dear Mike Riley and whomever is calling the plays, eat shit!
What the hell is Mannion thinking? Waste of O2 was wide open beyond the sticks.
Seriously. I know smith has been bad but he was wide open for the 1st down amd mannion chose to go to woods for a loss of yards on 3rd and short? Is mannion just refusing to go to smith?
3rd down 6 of 10, remember when we lead the nation in that category? #regression
7 of 11
I enjoy reporting my stolen bike to Springfield police more than listening to Beaver football game tonight. Let’s see, what’s for dinner tonight now…
3rd and 10 and Riley lets Cal run for another 1st down. Get the hell out of Corvallis Riley!! Quit tanking this program!!!
Caleb Smith is a huge disappointment. I thought he had NFL talent. What we can’t see on film is the guy’s will or game smarts. Apparently he has neither. He plays anxious, too.
It is fun to watch a well run 2 minute drill. Take note Riley/Garrett
Our defense is inept. Banker and his prevent allow so much of a cushion it’s like Goff playing catch with his receivers. I sense a TD right before the half by Cal. I’m going to report my bike was just stolen and Lasco for Heisman.
My lady just said, “that goddamn chainsaw.”…lol
I said, “you hate it!”
She says, “I do. It’s all bark and no bite.”
I think I’ll go bang this hilarious girl instead of watching this boring game. On the plus side, Riley is one game closer to being fir—
oh wait….
That chainsaw sound always reminds me of the scene in American wedding when Stiffler get caught in the hallway by his girlfriend.
“Suck on my titties like you’re milking a cow! Muaaaaahhhh! Muaaaaaahhhh!”
Riley is shitting himself again…same old story.
CLEAN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!
Riley will most likely have Unheismannion spike the ball….
They should reverse that call.
“Reser stadium sounds like the library…” Pac-12 network color crew.
It is quiet but there isn’t much to cheer for…
That’s only a good analogy if Mannion would go through his reads.
Yes Dwill03, that’s the point…
Since when do libraries have an ear splitting chainsaw noises.
Riley needs to retire and become an ambassador. Good ambassador, bad coach. He could be a Jim Gilstrap type. Just offer to move him somewhere away from the field without embarrassing him and he might accept it.
He just wants to milk the OSU situation. If he no longer can he will move to San Antonio. He has enough money to live well doing nothing for 20+ years. His BS story about painting gandrails at Parker in the 60s has grown old like himself. I had better jobs while at OSU and don’t think I am some shitty Paterno of the West. He is failing pretty miserably from what I see.
The Ambassador of Slow
Mannion not on pace to break the record tonight
Missed two open receivers for tds on that bomb to Bolden
Is the pac 12 network live stream working terribly for anybody else? constantly jumping in amd out of hd and skips 30 seconds forward amd back over and over. Not sure if its my shitty computer or the site, but every other game i watched today streamed just fine
I’m watching on tv tonight. But seems like at least 50% of the time I rely on the stream to work, I get similar problems.
YES
Lots of empty seats tonight.
Way to go Riles. Amazing leadership. Straight shot to the bottom from here. Circling the drain.
Cal has a terrible defense, which just highlights how bad the offense is. I thought Mannion would be able to do something versus these guys, but he’s regressed so much and lost so much confidence he can’t even put up numbers versus bad defenses now.
This looks different without the stupid penalties and dropped balls.
Let it rip for once Jim Wilson, sheesh, what do you have to lose? Tell it like it is…right on the air.
No sense of urgency as usual. They’ve given up. I mean you look at the sideline and when the coach is looking at the turf, arms folded and chewing gum down 17 then what do you expect? This team is a carbon copy of Opie’s demeanor. How sad.
That’s been Riley’s demeanor for how long? 15 years?
The overall sleepwalking pace is so frustrating, especially when compared to nearly every other PAC12 team I’ve seen.
Villamin catches that one, good drive for him. Hope he just needs experience to become more consistent
This is great!! This is great!! Everything is going to turn around now! I just know it! I’m so excited. I just know Riley knows how to lead this team now! Come on guys…let’s go!
Dammit Banker, HAND JIVE LIKE YOU’VE NEVER JIVED BEFORE!!!
Maybe they didn’t beleieve it was actually a delayed blitz call? Good call, would like to see more
Notice on that sack that they didn’t give an 8 yard cushion on the receivers.
That was a pretty blitz. I haven’t seen a delayed blitz all year.
Cal suddenly Beavin’ it.
Our players just aren’t strong enough (read talented). They’re getting manhandled.
Starting at mid-field, you know Cal expects mostly passes, so how many runs will Riley allow?
Bless you, Garrett. Nice balance for a change!
C’mon Sean, Grandma’s watching. This could be her last game.
Shoulda put her in at QB!
She is more mobile than Sean.
Brown! That has to be the quickest drive of the year
Exactly why I called for Chris Brown, Villamin, and Jarmon.
Different team with those guys in.
Angry right again. Talent is talent. The loyalty bs is bs.
Bolden can’t wait to hit the turf! Also, he dances and doesn’t get vertical. He could have gotten another 2-3 yards on the fly sweep.
Jeepers this is exciting! This team is sharp, well-prepared, reflective of a dynamic, smart coach. I can hardly wait for what is ahead moving forward all the way until 2021 and beyond!
I see. Hope the Beavs look like shit so Riley gets canned, except he won’t get fired. How about enjoying good plays when they happen and still be an informed critic at the same time?
clearly you don’t see
Sure. You live in Springfield and just got your bike stolen. I see a lot.
My black and orange bike.
Check craigslist, or go by the nearest tweaker hangout, which shouldn’t be far.
indeed lol
Defense looks like they have made adjustments?
Why the hell does Dockery let it bounce? I see nothing special in Dockery. Riley’s high on him for some reason.
Bruce Read
Momentum with the Beavs, got to pick up the pace!!
Any surprise they decided to not run once on that series?the record was more important than winning this game
Really? How many beers in are you?
Yup, looked like the balanced offense we’ve wanted, and the TD needed. Especially nice to see two in a row to Ward.
My comment was before the 2 run plays. 4 straight pass plays, 1 completion gets the record. Then they sed the ground game to get the score after the record was Mannions.
No worries, pass set up the run(s).
When was the last time we had a dominating LB or a safety?
Richard Siegler, Mitch meuwsen,
Nick Barnett, James Allen, Keith Ellison, joey laroque, Derrick doggett….
At least Cal receivers know where the 1st down marker is…
Need a rally oh boy.
Mannion is a god damned senior…. how is he still making such bad decisions?
Slow processor.
Fear, just fear.
Mannion is a disaster lol.
So slow and then a duck to the defense. Late round pick at best.
Time for a patented game winning 6 minute drill by our senior.
6 min drill… Too funny.
And of course we fail on 4th… Throw it to a player beyond the 1st down marker. That’s Pop Warner level IQ.
Nothing tonight made me think we’d win.
At least Riley can’t play for the field goal to tie.
Why the hell is Marable returning kicks. Worst recruit ever.
11th best all purpose back.
Why does Zimmerman see the field?
Game is going perfect for me. Won on the OVER on the prior Cal TD. Now 3 more puts Cal in decent shape. I was counting on Riley mistakes in the clutch and that Mannion pick qualifies. Now Mannion sacked for a 10 yard loss. Riley picks bad play on 4th down. Thinking new Samsung 50″. Thank you Sheriff of Mayberry. Candy from a baby.
He’s signed til 2021 :)
Don’t pick up the blitz, twice on that drive
Riley factor (-7) killing them right now.
Third down pick up by Cal clinches it and is a perfect representation of the game. Hit the receiver past the sticks and Beavs miss the tackle.
Fuck you Mike Riley.
Craig gets right to the point. Too effing funny:)
IMO at 34-31 Mannion has to lead a game winning drive. People will say I am picking on Mannion. Not really. That’s what great QBs do. Accumulators set passing records and lose. We have an accumulator at QB not a winner. Bummer.
Why do we even talk about Mannion anymore? He’s a good player and great guy. We know what he has to offer as a player.
edit – an OK player
The time for making excuses for Mannion is long past. Great skill set on paper but very non-clutch.
Along the lines of what could have been…Mannion had a lot of promise as a freshman. His sophomore year pre-injury he played the best football of his career. Since that injury he has never been the same. It’s like the whole injury/QB carousel permanently damaged his confidence.
Exactly what i said would happen. Total focus on getting the record, then fell apart after that. Reminds me of Riley after 6 wins
At least they made it more agonizing.
Haha. Really? After a decade of this it’s hard to be affected.
oh trust me, that was a detached remark. You have to admit the tragic Riley style loss of it.
Go home folks… Or prepare to watch the slo mo O in action
Senior QB and senior-laden defense and that will get you 5 wins max.
He doesn’t play like a SR. I’ll take my chances with McMaryon.
Have ya noticed that both Connor and Gina seem to feel McMaryon has a decent chance to earn the starting QB job next year?
As for the SR thing, fear, just fear; especially since his injury.
Has McMaryon hit 180 lbs. yet?
Just a pipe dream…would never happen. Don’t know his weight.
Don’t forget OL and DL injuries, little depth, and receivers that can’t get space.
Thank god not adding another year to this contract!
Does Mannion have a losing record as a starter?
Hilarious Riley lets the clock run down and doesn’t use his 2 timeouts.
And didn’t even throw it in the endzone once! Nothing but 4yd passes when down 14?
That was what I didn’t get. Down two scores with one and a half minutes and zero tosses past even 5-10 yards? I seriously don’t get Riley.
As my new friend CraigBeav says – Eff Mike Riley!
Caving and letting other teams spank you at home is his MO. I think he believes that the TO’s are accumulating so that he can utilize them later. Eff Mike Riley.
I get this feeling that other coaches love him since they can mail it in against him.
Yeah, WTF?
Nice winning attitude huh? Thought this was the year with the senior qb?-It is!!, the team and Riley are really clicking on the same page. Its a neat deal. This team is a mirror image of their Oppy leader. Hows that for an identity!
That’s the issue. They were going to lose either way, but play it out correctly and take your timeouts with a few shots at the endzone and then hope for an onside kick. The Beavs didn’t even get close to that scenario because of botching of the basics.
Ok folks, Let’s have a few nominees for Poopy Play of the Game…I’ll put ‘Winner’ under the one I think best defines this loss in a long string of losses. 1 for 10 in last conference games and 1 for 13 vs ranked teams. Wow. Horrible.
Nominee for poopy play of the game? I think this is the segment where we just blame the coaches.
LOL eww that’s rough
0 yard pass in the flat on 4th and 2 sealed the loss, so it’s probably the poopy play of the game.
Maybe Chris Brown should have gone past the sticks? Or because it’s a mistake from your boy Chris Brown maybe you won’t call that at mistake.
Apparently you weren’t watching the play. He didn’t run a flat route. He just wasn’t at the sticks before the pass came.
I say Mannion’s pick, that was unforgivable
Riley factor might be -7 but Smith’s penalties are also -7.
Winner. I went back and watched them and it was ugly. Throwing it away is fine but not lame ducking it. Mannion was already 11 yards behind the line of scrimmage and still farting around. I like Angry’s as a runner up as that series also was bad. Mannion took a 10 yard sack on 2nd and 6. You can’t do that. A hard Chris Brown run or draw would have been wiser. Riley never properly factors in what can go wrong when teams predict you will pass when pressured and pin their ears back. Riley even died with the pass trying to get 2 yards.
Poopy play was the post game handshake, Riley looked like he was happy to give Dykes the victory. No wonder he’s the most popular amongst his peers. And I use peers loosely.
He’ll blame the timeout fiasco on It just being one of those deals where Mannion didn’t get the time outs called.
I thought ‘Quizz was calling the TOs tonight. No? Maybe it was Mitchell….
I wait in anticipation for the next Ken Goe pep talk.
Hip hip horrific.
What I expected. Civil war will be a blood bath.
We are the last place team. Just wait until after next week. Even wsu will end better than us.
Even without Halliday?
If/when that happens I think we can all admit the Beavs have hit rock bottom.
Is there really any difference between 4-8 or 5-7. They’re both shit. Is anything going to change with BDC if Riley loses to a Halliday-less Wazzu?
Riley’s here to stay, even if they lose out. People are just adding a layer of frustration on themselves when they think he’s going to get fired, and then, lo and behold, he’s not.
No way he get’s fired, but I still think if the free fall continues next season, he will retire at the end of 2015.
Someone gets it.
My feelings too. Even without Halliday!
Yep. Playing OSU is a chance for any team to get a win. And I mean ANY team. Any coach who loses to Riley SHOULD get fired…..
Yeah four more losses coming up. ASU is gonna slaughter us.
Bat Signal…..Riley retire!
I bet one of Riley’s peeps stole my bike because I’ve been so critical of him.
He’ll ride it to Reset next week just to mock you
Without his helmet, too
Anyone associated with Riley would carry your bike 8 yards when the get away car was 10 yards away before getting stopped two yards short by the police and arrested.
I liked making money tonight but would rather have a winning football program with a winner’s attitude. How low does it have to get? These recent records are the shittiest I have ever seen. I thought Riley’s record at San Diego was as horrible as anyone could do, but Riley is making his running out of town there look like his golden years now.
There are way better coaches out there who are not all washed up.
Our gal Lindsay tweets some inside scoop:
“Can’t help but wonder if OSU fans will be happier next year when OSU starts to do some zone read stuff, as is expected.”
She still doesn’t understand that most fans just want smart, passionate, 60 minute play.
What the hell does “zone read stuff” have to do with what happened tonight? You’re right the media just does not get it. Plus I don’t have a lot of confidence that a Riley coached team would run a zone option offense correctly anyway.
We’ll be running the “Zone read deal” as opposed to the “Pro-deal” we run this year.
Pray tell, what is “zone read stuff.” Perhaps Lindsay can explain it?
Bruce Read Zoning out. We have that every week.
Wins are good too, I like those.
What the hell does she mean by “as is expected”???? If Riley said he intends to do some zone read, well, HE IS A LIAR!!!
And if he DID change to another system, he would still be the muddled thinker he is now, and screw it up.
The fans dont want RILEY to do anything but RETIRE! …and then we have at least a chance at some decent coaching…
Enough of this Riley bs. How do you not fire this loser? He can’t beat anyone anymore. Not even crappy teams. If BDC had any class he would resign on Monday like the Michigan AD. No other school is in such a ridiculous shitty situation as OSU. Riley will have the last place team next year more likely than not. He has overstayed his welcome.
Burn the motherf*cker down. Oregon State deserves better than this debacle. F*ck you BDC, Goe and Riley!!!
That Cal defense Oregon laid 59 on. The civil war is gonna be brutal. I’d be shocked if we came within 40 of the ducks. Another season flushed down the crapper.
Not one FBS school out of 127 would keep Riley with this much consecutive losing. Only the most bottom barrel of FCS programs would even think about keeping him. If Puerto Rico had a team they wouldn’t keep him. How is it that at Oregon State in the Pac-12, BDC and Riley get away with this total flaming turd? Get rid of these idiots. Our position in the Pac-12 sells itself. BDC and Riley are chumps and had their time.

@Coach_Riley U cost the Beavs another win. Predictable and stupid play calling equals a loss to a lesser opponent. The game has passed u up!

Why the hell does a senior qb have to look to the sidelines for plays???!!!!
Please let the ffing leash go. Might be better play calls.
“We have yet to put together a complete game”
8 games into the season. It’s not going to happen.
OOOOHHHH GOD DAMN!!!! This one is gonna hurt for awhile. unable to capitalize on so many opportunities….
Loss for words, this season seems lost. Worse yet, the future outlook appears dimmer than I can remember in some time….
We are SOOOO far away from where I thought we would be this season. I was expecting big things from Mannion, but I guess we’ll have to settle for the Pac12 record (by default) for passing yards and maybe we can still ruin the Ducks season or someone. Injuring Mariota or one of those fashion show queers from Eugene will have to do for remaining goals for this season.
#GOBEAVS #3RDDOWNCHAINSAWS
It’s not Mariota’s fault we suck
Houston Beavs:
You and your punk-ass mentality neatly encapsulates what is wrong with your program. You settled upon a moronic goal that does nothing at all to address the systemic failure that has swamped your program, which is really thanks to BDC and his ridiculous contract for a washed up head coach.
Why don’t you direct your juvenile rage where it belongs?
Riley cant come close to beating Cal at home … Holy shiiiiit….
He will get blown out by the Ducks second string… (assuming Helfrich has some mercy and puts them in at the end of the first quarter when the score is 35-0….)
Shitfuck!
Post game Riley video for you Angry. Lots of smiling from a guy who just got embarassed at home. It’s like he doesn’t fear losing his job….

We need to have our opinion heard to fire riley
BDC needs to know thats fans are fed up
I suppose Riley believed this team would “gel” half-way into the season, as Riley’s more successful teams have done in the past, salvaging the season from a few disastrous early losses, finishing up at 7-5 or 8-4 and a trip to some minor bowl game, which would be a “success” in Riley’s world. Problem is, this team shows no sign of “gelling.” If anything, the opposite appears to be happening. One reason why might be the talent level. They don’t have the same kind of players nor the depth they’ve had across the board on both sides of the ball. Plus it might well be the case that college football has passed Riley by and he hasn’t kept up with the evolution of the game.
I think that in terms of physical attributes and ability, height, weight, speed, this team has better athletes than OSU used to get in the pat, but it might as well be Kragthorpe and his crew airing it out and getting beat most weekends.
This team has little to no chance of gelling; the senior QB and LBs are not providing the leadership, the coaching staff sure isn’t, fundamentals of tackling and blocking are breaking down again…
Do NOT expect a competitive CW like last year where OSU discovered it could run the ball. I don’t see any wins on the calendar unless WSU can’t recover from the loss of it’s starting QB.
I think much of the problem is Riley refusing to engage himself in the flow of the game. … to make adjustments as the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing team reveal themselves. He doesnt engage enough to even monitor and act according to time constraints.
So he is relatively easy prey for opposing coaches. No wonder they all praise him…..lol.
Hey, if Joe Pa didn’t even know what state he was in the last five or six years of his tenure and got away with it, why can’t Riley be a “hands off” leader? He’s got Read, Banker, Cavanaugh to lead the players! Fold your arms, chew gum and pump your fist a few times a game, it’s a great day to be a Beaver!
Now even Papa Smurf, I mean Ken Goe, is coming around.
http://www.oregonlive.com/collegefootball/index.ssf/2014/11/oregon_pounds_stanford_but_the.html
Goe was pretty despondent last night. He really thought the Beavs would beat Cal.
From Egger’s piece, “they stuck to the running game,” OSU safety Ryan Murphy said. “Credit to them. They did a good job of executing and we didn’t.”
Of course Murphy was surprised, he’s never seen the Beaver offense do it, even when successful.
Who was it that predicted 10 win because this Defense was going to be so great?
I miss the fire Banker talk, he seems to be getting a free pass. I’d like to see a desperate Riley axe Banker and Cavanaugh after this season as a gesture that he’s serious about a turn around.
That piece came out a few weeks that said Banker has had “multiple offers” and chooses to stay because he and Riley are so tight. I think that re-affirms that Riley won’t ever fire Banker because they and their wives are best friends. Cav I could see though, he curses which is a big Riley no-no.
I was impressed when Mannion fumbled to himself and ran for a 7 yard gain. Put on 40 pounds and that man has a future in Rugby!
Gaelic Football… check it out. Between that and Hurling, the Irish do it up right.
That play stood out to me as well, as it shows how thoroughly he has been coached not to scramble, but on that play- with no other choice but get hit- it showed he could scramble a little. So this falls back to Riley, who has clearly outlawed scrambling even when an easy first down seems a short stroll away.
Sounds very Mariotta-esque.
Watching Steelers/Ravens … isnt our Marcus Wheaten a Pittsburg receiver? He introduced himself as from Chandler High School…. lol…. dis-owning OSU, but who can blame him….

Markus Wheaton TD!
With fans not recognizing that his name is actually Markus Wheaton, I’m sure he wants to.
He does that every game. Pisses me off. That is the ultimate in free marketing for the school and football program. Dink.
I read a blurb (somewhere) that when Wheaton was having early struggles, Roethilsberger said (paraphrase) c’mon you aren’t playing for Oregon State anymore. Not sure if one can read anything into that, but perhaps someone should just ask Wheaton why he doesn’t say he played at OSU.
I noticed that Keenan Lewis does this too.
He must have tried to get a hip hip hooray going
Charlie Batch laughed at me when I told him the Steelers were going on a 6 game winning streak right after the Browns loss. 3 W’s since, 3 to go Charles.
You dropped something.

Did “The Mitten” do a lay-up in honor of his dad?!?
Two points is two points.
In fact, scoring from under the basket is seemingly more and more a lost art… as was evidenced by OSU’s play for the last umpteen years.
Never really been a hoops guy, but just placed an order for two tickets. At least feel like this program is moving in the right direction.
I probably won’t be driving down to Corvallis for any games, but I’ll be going to the UofP game in Portland this year. Never been to the Chiles center and have been looking forward to it.
Caleb Smith… I can’t remember a game where he wasn’t penalized. When Mannion throws an interception he gets pounded on by people. That is going to happen when you are airing out the ball 53 million times (even though Storm was averaging 8.7 yards per carry). The bad guy in this game for me was Caleb Smith. Riley needs to sit his butt on the bench.
Closer look at the numbers:
http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2014/11/taking_a_closer_look_at_number_5.html
0: It was a tough outing for tight end Caleb Smith. The Oregon State junior was flagged for a false start, a personal foul and unsportsmanlike conduct, and he dropped a first-quarter pass. He also notched zero catches.
