Not sure if GA realizes how big of a game this is for him. They played Minny tough on the road last year, lose by a blow out this year at home and I think the wheels start coming off.
Don’t trust our defense to hold them under 30. Critical game for Beavs and Andersen.
Calling it the Rodent Super Bowl as team eas saying CSU treated that game as their Super Bowl. If GA ever had as much on the line it is now so this better be his Super Bowl.
Little bit of rain favors Oregon St. but will come down to OSU turning it over twice by interception.
Unless Pierce gets 7+ carries I don’t think OSU wins. Think he can run for 49 yards on 7 carries.
Also will give GA’s ‘Champion’ status to any player this week smart enough to down it in the endzone. Beavs xan’t afford giving away easy free yards. Hoping Pierce takes kickoffs with maybe Tyner thrown in once for a different look and to see how he returns kicks.
57/43 run pass ratio is Beavs best bet. Below 53% we almost certainly lose.
Should be a competitive game but McGiven gets a little too pass reliant and we end up throwing on 52% of plays which is 9% above optimum and it costs OSU in a fun to watch Rodent Super Bowl.
Minny Rows the Boat out of CorVegas even with the 11 Strong unis.
UM 31, OSU 28
P.S. Isaah Crocker if in da house gives Beavs a +2 boost
What was the story on the sideline penalty called on slick willie today? Could it be part of willies schtick? If so it will get old if repeated every week or so.
Anyone else think it would be a worthwhile “big boy” move for Andersen to blow his stack……..at an appropriate time, of course?
Never thought I’d defend Swaggart but he had reason to be upset. Nebraska d lineman was trying shove Herbert’s head in the turf as he was getting up and then kind of kicked him in the helmet also. It happened in front of the official and should have been a flag. I think Swag got flagged for voicing his displeasure with the non flag on Nebraska.
That’s not a defense. Coaches yell stuff at refs that make normal people cringe all the time. Most likely he voiced his displeasure at the player himself. That would be highly unprofessional. If not that, then he must have said something really really horrendous to the ref.
It doesn’t matter that said player was slightly scummy and Herbert was over-acting to try for the flag. You don’t gift the opposition 15 yards.
I’m guessing your participation in athletics ended at t-ball. Highly unprofessional? Coaches chew officials, refs and umpires asses in all sports. Sometimes they cross the line and get a penalty, technical or ejection for their “unprofessional” behavior.
It is highly unprofessional for a coach to address a player that is not his with some verbiage untoward.
If that’s not understandable, then I’ll stick with my apparent T-ball heritage and tell your wise and knowing ways to go fuck themselves on a bed of nails.
The chrome numbers on the jerseys and beavs on the helmet looks stupid in person. Looks cheap, like bedazzling or cheap glue on glitter your daughter would use on arts and crafts.
I’d post a pic if I could, but the US flag on the field is flying stiff horizontal. Windicators on the goal posts are fluttering / gusting to horizontal.
I think Gophers try to run it down our throat. If we out gain them on the ground I think we have a good shot at the win. Can’t envision our D stopping them after first two games.
27-17 Minny. Unfortunately.
I like how we go conservative for a few plays and get a first down, and then immediately go for the low percentage downfield pass attempt and waste a down, essentially killing the drive before field goal range.
I feel dirty feeling relieved at 10-0. To our credit, we’re doing a good job taking the run away. How long can their inexperienced mediocre QB’s continue to beat us?
Anyone know what is up with Christian Wallace? I recall reading the he was tearing it up on practice. Can’t possibly be weaker in coverage than what we have seen to date.
The turnovers need to end, and they need to end now. Our defense is showing minor improvement, but there’s no way they can handle continually being put on the field by the offense’s ineptness.
Put in Garretson. Bad things happen when you can’t establish the run. At least Garretson is a threat with his feet if things break down. Lutin had a 7 or 8 yard sack but that wasn’t enough and he had to fumble.
The one thing our offense has been efficient at producing this year has been turnovers.
Wonder if the rain will force McGiven to call more runs now, kist like the Civil War?
Andersen getting thoroughly outcoached by Fleck. Guess 15 years of experience over Minny’s coach is worth nothing. Just look awful. Luton is not a game manager. Beavs desperately need a game manager at QB. Garretson deserves his chance.
That this is true is pathetic. I am seeing the wisdom of busting McGiven down (or out) and letting Baldwin take the reigns of the offense. Disjointed and erratic.
Watch McGiven throw it all over the yard now. There’s enough time to run. Throw in some draws…this is a good time for a fly sweep, too. Keep it out of Luton’s hands.
GA needs to get a grip on McGiven and Luton. They both like passing too much. Team has a better chance if they come out and run 12 or 13 straight to start the 2nd half and set the tone. Home crowd would love that attitude in this rain that is much like the Civil War.
Why didnt we run the ball with 2 minutes and two timeouts before the half. Im glad im not the only one pissed about the throw every down. What the hell!
Yep. Tre Johnson appears to be in a good head space this game and has tons left in the tank so I like him and Nall for hard runs and Pierce for a touch more finesse. All 3 with the team fully behind them is a big part of what this offense needs in 2nd half. Will allow a few openings for Togiai and the receivers on throws that are not pick risks too.
Nall and Johnson with the Nall Ball & Freight Train and Pierce for good measure.
You can’t put most of this on Luton. He’s had some misses, he’s had some nice balls. But all he can do is try to execute this retarded fucking play calling.
Halftime prediction: if we come out on our first possession and run all over them with Nall and Pierce, get a Td, we win. If we come out and continue to pass with the Tall Bozo, we lose, possibly badly.
Garretson maybe should be in now. McGiven just likes to try out his Luton weapon too much. Don’t have a great feeling about him throwing with that glove. Garretson may choose his throws more wisely and can scramble.
Game over. 3 turnovers from our offense. 17 points for Minnesota. Defense is doing everything they can possibly do. Dam it all. Is it mean or is something off with Nall this year?
That was the story games 1 and 2 as well, which is why I was on the O more than the D. People were blind to it for whatever reason. O gave up 27 points to CSU.
Our O gives opposing O’s a short field or a Pick 6 almost every possession.
D has given up tackling. They’re done.
When the first guy stands up the RB nobody comes in to help finish the play. Reeks of a chemistry problem. Pretty sure they hate the offense and visa versa. Probably because the tall bozo was handed the job and stinks/keeps putting them at their own 20.
Fire Andersen and company now! I cant stand to watch this shit show of a coaching staff. Like someone else said. Another team having a party at our place.
Scotty at some would you care to re-post your email exchange with the AD from earlier this year? I’d love to see that get some more play. I still can’t believe that exchange, whether it was with his employee or a fan or anyone. Fuck that guy and fuck GA.
But we’ve been jobbed on many game-changing plays. Football is an ugly enough sport to begin with. This makes it just unbearable to even to pretend to suspend the reality that it’s just dumb.
The short would be that it’s dumb, but it’s fun to watch the effort and all the action. When calls are biased this way, dumb becomes dummer.
They wonder why their sport is dying. Call the game by the fucking rules, to start.
Slo-mo clearly shows Morris was off his feet before Rhoda thought about sliding. And then he didn’t really hit him, mostly because Rhoda was chicken-shitting.
I think even hardcore OSU fans have to be waking up now. I dont see us winning another game this year. Please bench Luton. I would rather have a game manager named Garretson..
Leach is brilliant. GA not so much. I dont think GA will ever put another QB a chance. He loves his new toy too much. Didnt we all say that GA lack of finding a QB would kill him.
First possession of the 3rd quarter was our best chance to win the game. Took their best blow in the 1st half and were right in it. McGiven came out and called awful plays, Luton executed awful.
Agree MN was more committed to the run. We barely tried to run it. I think Nall will finish with 7 carries and a 4.4 average. Meanwhile, Luton, the gun-slinging vertical threat averaged 5.2 yards per pass.
Remember when I charted Riley’s offense and concluded that we scored many more points on drives that simply started with a run? I feel like I can do that in this game as well.
I’m rather proud of charting Riley during those years (2009-2012). That took some fucking work. If you chooseto dismiss it, that’s on you.
I certainly don’t carry it to GA or anyone I see in today’s game.
Granted, it was some drunk work after we lost to Stanford, a good run D who we were running over for no good reason then stopped doing so… thus that loss… well… there was a fumble too.
There are times when the obvious just is the obvious, and I get fucking tired of saying DUH!
It’s gotta be sooooo hard on them to see how bad they missed on Luton. They’re clinging to it so hard to convince themselves that he and whatever they are trying to do on offense with him is the answer.
They’ll definitely lose the whole team soon if they keep sticking to it, the players are smart enough to see that he’s so obviously out of his league.
Like 90% of fans here still think he’s the best option. Lol. And it’s because they don’t want to admit what I saw was right. GA probably doesn’t want to admit he was wrong. It’s hard for people to do, apparently.
It’s McGiven. MM would have looked the fool and probably would be broken for the season by now.
Sadly, there were some positive elements added to the O this week. It’s sad because they are basic lays that should have been installed on day one. It’s like we have 75% of an offense installed in week 3.
I just think the dissonance shouldn’t look so cognitive.
GA adressed the D this week. The D made changes. They might or might not have been sufficient. We’ll never know because the refs took the game away from them. But they were not the weakness. The O was again the weakness. And I’m not going to blame the fumble-fingers of some players. I’m going to blame the man in charge of making the O tick. All those skipped ticks are a result of someone not winding the cock properly.
Those were majorly biased calls against the Beavs. And it started with the catch-no-catch that was called not so despite the fucking cameras recording all angles of that play.
Honestly, I thought something was up when we got a line to gain replay in our favor despite the live call and the replay showing otherwise.
We, as far back as I can remember, have never had a replay go our way despite replay. I can point to about seven times when we got screwed (before tonight). Getting a line to gain replay when nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition was just weird. I said at the time that we never get really bad decisions created for and given to us, let alone this crap.
The defense that just failed to defend an obvious zone read? Sorry, first play I’ve seen and that was flat out terrible discipline. This coaching staff needs to be fired. Pathetic.
No, this one is on the coaches. Defense did well until they got worn out from being on the field forever. Villy showed up. Pierce showed up. Luton sucked. Coaches sucked way more.
No. D did well just like in every other game, despite whatever the stats say. O keeps them on the field too long and gives poor field position. Eventually they gave up just like in every other game, so that’s on the D. Luton blew chunks. Mcgiven blew chunks with poop in them.
Sorry but even if Luton sucks (and I didn’t see this game so not going to argue that), the defense is undisciplined garbage. The defense has not did not do well in the other games. That is a ridiculous statement. They’ve been terrible.
Might have tonight (although Minnesota converted tons of 3rd downs all game) but the defense was garbage in games 1 and 2.
It seemed to me that even the completed Luton passes were the result of receivers making extra effort – either diving to the ground or jumping high to reach.
Did they just say this is MN’s first road win since 1954? haha.
GA needs to go for recruiting Luton and running McM out of town. If he had any integrity he’d admit he has no clue how to analyze QBs, retire, and opt out of his contract.
Agree. McM should have been #1 option in a run 1st attack. Garretson #2. Luton maybe 3rd for a couple unique situations but preferavly let McM lead and manage the whole game and continue to develop into a winner as he was doing through hard work.
McM was progressing well into the game manager we need and then was run out.
GA should leave too since he was so wrong in his assessment.
Conflating the QB issue with the OC issue does nobody any good. What is Baldwin doing right now? What is Woods doing right now? We need a clear vision instead of being constantly behind the chains.
Why would Beau Baldwin come to Oregon State when he is already having success at Cal? He will soon be offered by a program with some hope. I’m sad for the talented players that bought into Anderson’s rhetoric. They know they are being poorly coached.
It just defies logic that you would run a guy out of town who helped you beat your biggest rival for the first time in almost a decade.. the mcm move looks worse and worse every week. In addition to totally regarding the game plan that helped you win that game
Plus McM was the ultimate team player…dude kept getting demoting and rising above it. Yet Luton got handed the job for zero reason. You can’t convince me that’s not the reason for an obviously disjointed team.
Who said he was run out? He had an opportunity to be a part of this team, as any good teammate would have done.
He chose otherwise.
Maybe there was something about wanting to be near home because of family. If that’s the case, then I don’t think he ran away like a loser acting like a baby. As has been proven time and time again, he sticks around, and he gets to play later in the season.
I’m willing to bet he didn’t see that happening, and he just gave up.
What the hell is GA going to say during the pressers?
Big boy pants? Some rhetoric about toughness? He’s looked more and more depressed/disinterested each week. Anyone in the media going to have the balls to question his QB and OC decisions?
And don’t count Minnie out for the B1G West. We saw earlier that they are weak.
For the record, I was the lone voice here who wanted Fleck when we were looking to replace that twice disloyal shit named Riley. You can go look it up. I think I linked the video of him hyping before a bowl loss that year. It was just hilarious. But he’s so sincere about it all. It’s just funny.
The more I see, it appears that the whole McM situation fractured the team before the first snap of the season.
I predicted that McM and Luton would have similar numbers by end of season. I just did’nt expect it to be for two different teams.
If MM acting like a loser baby and running away is the catalyst, then the team as a whole can transfer somewhere else. That’s how unacceptable that is as a “reason.”
It’s college football. The same team you just watched lose to Minnie could beat Bama next week. That’s how poor the product is as a whole.
I don’t understand why this isn’t obvious. And I’m correcting for team-centric bias. People think that team is good because that team racks up numbers. The reality is the team they faced sucked while they racked up numbers. They could have been executing perfectly and looking for blocks on people who weren’t there, and that would have been noted. That’s not what happens 97% of the time in college football. Most of the time it’s just picking on the 17 year-old sub.
It’s just not pretty.
And Celestine should have been ejected for spearing Pierce. Talk all you want about any other play. That was targeting.
It was textbook targeting. Kid should have left the field in shame. Instead he gets celebrated. And Moore gets kicked for a lesser offense. I agree that Moore goes by the letter of the law. I just want Minnie fan to know that Celestine should have been kicked for a greater and more blatant offense.
That was a really bad miss for the refs. The game was over after that. I gift them the call of a “miss” only because they had many in this game. They made a poor product unwatchable.
If Anderson doesn’t fire coaches in the offseason or before hand, then he’ll get fired at some point. We can’t keep recruiting pocket passers and expect them to run a spread offense. We either need to adapt to a pro-style offense with the QB we have, or we need to bench Luton for not pulling the ball more on read options to keep the defense honest. When he kept the ball those times, he gained positive yards and it opened our run and pass game up.
Who do we replace Anderson if we choose to fire him? We really should look at Jonathan smith or even levit(sp?) at Oregon for the head job. We need someone who is a natural leader as a head coach. We got a coach who was anti-riley. Fired up, passion, vision(sporadic), young, enthusiasm, charisma, doesn’t beat around the bush(until now).
Something has to change. Im just frustrated as hell hence this rant. ‘Im a man I’m 40!!!’ We need a rant that gets our players attention and gets us on the map cause losing and visors and sun tans aren’t going to do it.
Ftr, the announcers in last week’s game for Nikegon mentioned big boy pants twice. And I’ve heard it a couple times on other broadcasts unrelated to GA. I looked for the etymology, since it’s just dumb to start with. And it appears to begin with some obscure comedy.
?
I have not seen this obscure comedy. Is it funny? Is big boy pants funny or serious?
What’s sad is that the glaring issues might not be addressed if we weren’t jobbed by the refs on almost double-digit plays. These issues would still be here if we won.
I wonder if the refs don’t like Mormons. I mean, I’ve never found a Mormon who wasn’t either proselytizing or discriminating. So I guess I understand why there might be bias. But that doesn’t explain the blatant bullshit calls Minnie got i this game.
*never only applies to Mormons who are really Mormons. Jack Mormons are conflicted and most of the time on the right side of any social conscience.
Go Beavs!
GoBeavs
If the Beavs get smoked today it will be by the Gophs because the air is finally clear here!
See what I did there? Smoked… forest fires. Smoked… beat badly. It’s a play on w… oh nevermind I’ll go back to my corner.
Minnesota is the only chance for a win between now and the Cal game on 11-4. Could be a rough October. Take it from me….. I put the “0” in October.
I’m going to use reverse psychology and call a Minnesota blowout. 70-10 Gophers.
Tons of UM fans in Corvallis. 1 fairly obvious observation, people from Minnesota are fat.
Hearing low Beav turnout, too. Do we still have the home field advantage considering 1 MN fan = 5 Beav fans?
On Monroe Ave the ratio is about 2-1 beavs fans. Lots on UM fans roaming around.
Funny, I noticed that too today.
This is the biggest game so far this year
Not sure if GA realizes how big of a game this is for him. They played Minny tough on the road last year, lose by a blow out this year at home and I think the wheels start coming off.
Sorry dude, we’re already rollin’ down the hill!
Agree. This is a must win.
Don’t trust our defense to hold them under 30. Critical game for Beavs and Andersen.
Calling it the Rodent Super Bowl as team eas saying CSU treated that game as their Super Bowl. If GA ever had as much on the line it is now so this better be his Super Bowl.
Little bit of rain favors Oregon St. but will come down to OSU turning it over twice by interception.
Unless Pierce gets 7+ carries I don’t think OSU wins. Think he can run for 49 yards on 7 carries.
Also will give GA’s ‘Champion’ status to any player this week smart enough to down it in the endzone. Beavs xan’t afford giving away easy free yards. Hoping Pierce takes kickoffs with maybe Tyner thrown in once for a different look and to see how he returns kicks.
57/43 run pass ratio is Beavs best bet. Below 53% we almost certainly lose.
Should be a competitive game but McGiven gets a little too pass reliant and we end up throwing on 52% of plays which is 9% above optimum and it costs OSU in a fun to watch Rodent Super Bowl.
Minny Rows the Boat out of CorVegas even with the 11 Strong unis.
UM 31, OSU 28
P.S. Isaah Crocker if in da house gives Beavs a +2 boost
I’m with ya on Pierce being a key. Ditto your thought on Tyner for kick returns.
57% is at the low end of the rush target IMHO.
I’d feel better about the Beavs D if Titus were 100%, gonna be interesting to see how the ILB’s perform today too.
Someone will get blown out, but I’m not sure who. 60% chance it’s the beavs.
49% chance the beavs run it more than 51% of the offensive plays
with a SD of 20?
What was the story on the sideline penalty called on slick willie today? Could it be part of willies schtick? If so it will get old if repeated every week or so.
Anyone else think it would be a worthwhile “big boy” move for Andersen to blow his stack……..at an appropriate time, of course?
Never thought I’d defend Swaggart but he had reason to be upset. Nebraska d lineman was trying shove Herbert’s head in the turf as he was getting up and then kind of kicked him in the helmet also.

Tnx for info.
That’s not a defense. Coaches yell stuff at refs that make normal people cringe all the time. Most likely he voiced his displeasure at the player himself. That would be highly unprofessional. If not that, then he must have said something really really horrendous to the ref.

I’m guessing your participation in athletics ended at t-ball. Highly unprofessional? Coaches chew officials, refs and umpires asses in all sports. Sometimes they cross the line and get a penalty, technical or ejection for their “unprofessional” behavior.
Wow. You don’t understand English as well?
It is highly unprofessional for a coach to address a player that is not his with some verbiage untoward.
If that’s not understandable, then I’ll stick with my apparent T-ball heritage and tell your wise and knowing ways to go fuck themselves on a bed of nails.
The chrome numbers on the jerseys and beavs on the helmet looks stupid in person. Looks cheap, like bedazzling or cheap glue on glitter your daughter would use on arts and crafts.
Assume you are at Reser. Please report signs of chemistry on sidelines today.
Will do. Right now during warmups Minnesota looks a little flat and uninspired, Beavs actually jumping around and looking fairly pumped.
Feeling juiced
When life gives you C6H8O7…
I’d tell a chem joke here, but all the good ones argon.
20+ mph winds down on the field… making Luton’s warm up passes flutter and sail.
Perfect.
Sweet user name. Love me some zen.
Can I change my prediction?
Actually, this should help us if McGiven isn’t dumb enough to force the pass.
That’s a HUGE if.
Yes.
Minny should defer, play zone, get INT on first series…
Just a quick head count… maybe 9k in the stands 22 min before kickoff…
WTF.
Best Ghost Town in the Pac-12.
Fans starting to trickle in, I’m guessing less than 20k before kick.
Beavos fans tend to leave tailgates after kickoff
Wind is listed at only 9mph on google weather.
I’d post a pic if I could, but the US flag on the field is flying stiff horizontal. Windicators on the goal posts are fluttering / gusting to horizontal.
It has died a bit as the sun sets.
I think Gophers try to run it down our throat. If we out gain them on the ground I think we have a good shot at the win. Can’t envision our D stopping them after first two games.
27-17 Minny. Unfortunately.
Formula has to be controlling the clock in this one. If not, McGiven should be canned Sunday.
Tyner out tonight, per Parker
Omg helfrich in one of the commentators
Haha, missed the names and wasn’t sure that was him. OMG.
Is that Helfrich in the booth or a dude who looks like him?
New offensive unpaid intern?
Tyner out. Sucks.
Hate that fucking chainsaw bullshit.
So awful.
Yes it is
WAAAAAAAHWAHHHWAHWAHAAAAAAAAW.
WTF. Big 10 officiating crew. Why?
Clearly not a 1st.
Thank the Lord. So obvious.
Shitty spot
Good reversal
Wow…that Luton screen. Missed huge yards.
Horrible throw on the screen. Looked offside to me.
Rootin Tootin Luton still doesn’t look the part
But he’s tall and a gun slinger, not a boring game manager.
Which is saying something considering he was the best option on the roster
Meanwhile, as Jake overthrows a screen by 5 yards, McM once again did well (vs Alabama).
http://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore?gameId=400933841
36 yards, 5 yd per completion, impressive
Against Alabama walkons and the rest of the 5th string.
First Minny coach to win debut since 1985. Big whoop, he played Buffalo. Wheeeeee!
So tired of hearing about PJ Fleck.
This is OUR time now! Entire country tuning in
There’s that Beaver D we all know and love! 67 yd TD
We lost.
Feels like Minnesota can get 4-5 yards whenever they need to.
That’s about all I need to know
Brandon Arnold needs to be benched.
100% chance of David Morris next drive
He has looked out of whack since game one. Always a step slow in coverage.
Where is Christian Wallace?
It feels like we can either defend the run well, or the pass well, but not both at the same time.
Wasn’t Brandon Arnold decent last year? What the heck happened to him?
Another year under Clune?
Big Boy Coach ran too many players out of town…
Now he has a bigger mess
He has a big boy mess in his big boy pants.
Isn’t that how all the big boys fight?
Where were the safeties?
Eating a hotdog.
If we do end up truly sucking, I’ll feel the most sorry for Pierce and Nall.
Need to switch up snap count, catch these dicks offsides
Eric’s written a sketch.
“Nudge nudge”
I like how we go conservative for a few plays and get a first down, and then immediately go for the low percentage downfield pass attempt and waste a down, essentially killing the drive before field goal range.
Just kidding, I don’t like that.
Cheerleaders look hotter than usual this year, so at least we have that going for us
Too much Luton, not enough Nall.
Edit: and it leads to another disaster.
Obviously lutons fault togiai threw it on the ground, again
No, but too much passing. Awful game plan so far. And Luton throwing a ball 5 to 10 yards over a guy’s head on a screen didn’t help.
Snake bitten.
Dumpster fire.
Best Dumpster Fire in the Pac-12.
Morris in at S.
At least he can make tackles, it seems like.
What number?
Nevermind. I saw him, 12
Dumpster fire in progress.
But they’re so close on defense. Just a tweak here and there and they’ll be great.
Defense already looks a bit better replacing Arnold with Morris.
The chrome numbers on the jerseys and beavs on the helmet looks awesome in person. Something different and modern.
Not if you’re Afghanistan, apparently
8 pass attempts, 4 runs (6 yard average).
McGiven just doesn’t get it. Needs to be fired on Monday.
I feel dirty feeling relieved at 10-0. To our credit, we’re doing a good job taking the run away. How long can their inexperienced mediocre QB’s continue to beat us?
Anyone know what is up with Christian Wallace? I recall reading the he was tearing it up on practice. Can’t possibly be weaker in coverage than what we have seen to date.
Jay Irvine didn’t play last week, and yet GA doesn’t know why.
I’m ready for garretson
Schizo offense. Horrendous.
Take out Luton, put in Garrettson.
The turnovers need to end, and they need to end now. Our defense is showing minor improvement, but there’s no way they can handle continually being put on the field by the offense’s ineptness.
Luton fumbles. Time to throw the O line under the bus because we can’t blame the tall guy. D will get thrown under the bus for giving up points, too.
Did you miss the free run/unblocked by the d up the middle?
Excuse time.
Using eyeballs time
https://twitter.com/angrybeavs/status/906710709337071616
https://twitter.com/ginamizell/status/906710130229571584
Luton looks like DA.
Exactly…I said he’d be DA, only not as good.
That’s insulting to a Pro Bowl QB
DA fucking sucks. Be honest. One decent half a season until the NFL figured him out.
I’ll take a serviceable clipboard holder over Luton
Ya that’s why he stuck around so long. Lol
Why isn’t anyone taking this seriously? Come on guys this is huge!
Put in Garretson. Bad things happen when you can’t establish the run. At least Garretson is a threat with his feet if things break down. Lutin had a 7 or 8 yard sack but that wasn’t enough and he had to fumble.
I was so wrong to pick the Beavs in this one.
Never. Again.
I picked them in my pickem league too but it was painful. I just didn’t want to believe they are this bad.
But they totally are :(
Even though their QB gave up like 20 interceptions I totally found myself feeling nostalgic for a Bike Smiley team today.
It’s hurts.
I honestly saw on film the same as GA…that a few missed/huge plays were the difference, and thought they could tighten it up. Not. We fucking blow.
There’s hurricane Irma coverage on the weather channel. That’s some serious S—.
I wish it would wipe out Corvallis.
The one thing our offense has been efficient at producing this year has been turnovers.
Wonder if the rain will force McGiven to call more runs now, kist like the Civil War?
Nope. Luton goes back to pass after a big run and gets sacked.
Andersen getting thoroughly outcoached by Fleck. Guess 15 years of experience over Minny’s coach is worth nothing. Just look awful. Luton is not a game manager. Beavs desperately need a game manager at QB. Garretson deserves his chance.
21 is playing hard
Garteson time
Villamin’s finally starting to look like Villamin of two years ago.
Beavs REALLY need a two back set.
Way too many passes….fucking run the ball every down….Luton has no clue!
I thought mcgiven called the offense
Did Riley stop by and give an inspirational ore-game speech?
Shit play calling. Using the pass on how many first downs now? To set up the run?
That fake punt may have been the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.
How the hell did that work?
Hernandez with the pass
And Luton can run……..so why the 3 game of the year?
Rain is the only thing that keeps McGiven in check.
He passed like 6 times that series. That’s not in check.
Fuck. I had to fix a drink and lost track.
First time I fixed a drink during a Beav game since like ’10.
That this is true is pathetic. I am seeing the wisdom of busting McGiven down (or out) and letting Baldwin take the reigns of the offense. Disjointed and erratic.
My girlfriend: “the Beavs should just stop playing football.”
*ex-girlfriend
I’ve been waiting three years for that fade route.
Seriously
It’s the small things man…….
Mcm couldn’t throw it though :^)
Except vs Alabama. lol
35 yards total, so impressive
Yeah, exactly. Sounds good right now.
5-7, 15 rushing yards in limited action. You’re in love with the tall bozo.
Hardly. But you definitely have mcm knee pads.
Wouldn’t it be funny if that horribly telegraphed fake punt was some kind of turning point for us?
Did you guys know that the new Valley Football center is coming in Fall 2016?!
That is so fucking bad. Our athletic dept is an embarrassment
I saw that too. The little things make a big difference in impressions. Just take the fucking banner down for fucks sake
There’s the Luton TD to lure everyone back in to the “big arm theory”
It was a nice throw….
Hence my comment.
And to encourage McGiven t call more passes…
Finally a break on D.
Luton has some throws but has too many turnovers which kill.
BEAVS RECOVER FUMBLE. NALL BALL TIME!!!!
Huh, a fumble by the opponent
I can’t believe it. I started watching the game and so far a TD and a fumble and so far ,,,, I haven’t jinxed them.
Togiai with the Oscar.
That was soccer level acting. Nice
Fair play for their fucking kicker going down like a sack of shit when someone touched his toe.
Good job, Trevorris!
MY MAN JOHNSON!!! DUDE PLAYS NALL BALL HIMSELF!
GOOD TD!
There’s the turnover needed to have a prayer at losing this game close.
Oklahoma killing Ohio State.
Tre Johnson is a freight train.
Credit where credit’s due: McGiven didn’t screw that up.
Squirrel…..nut…..
Kinda did by throwing to Togia when the obvious call as a run. They lucked out and got the PI on good coverage.
Luton over threw him.
If the obvious call is a run, play action still makes sense.
Rain is our 12th man. It’s the only time we’re good.
Moore is a fuckin’ thumper
Crawford looking super confident and decisive.
Was that a guided mistake?
*missile
Jalen Moore is a fucking truck
Defense just can’t stop the run.
3.4 average.
That’s as good as it’s going to get for OSU.
Run D has been good.
Watch McGiven throw it all over the yard now. There’s enough time to run. Throw in some draws…this is a good time for a fly sweep, too. Keep it out of Luton’s hands.
Villy is showing up
Or hes a good actor
Both
Villy is a beast this game. Nice to c that. Good for him.
Shitty DB play by goopher
Back too shitty play calling.
Fucking Luton. Had a man wide open in the flat and passed it up.
Following play the tall bozo holds it forever and the OL gets a holding call.
Followed by a high/off throw to Togia. Fuck this guy.
Then he throws behind Togiai when we should have had a first down
He needs to catch that shit especially after his fumble.
Too much throwing again by McGivInt. Ugh.
Dude is awful. No draws of sweeps when that’s the time for them.
Instead he throws over and over with the tall bozo.
Terrible.
Love the air raid. Barf
Does anyone else want to see Nall, Tre Johnson and Pierce win this game?
Yes, and it would be easy with a few short 3rd down throws.
DG needs to be in for 1st and 2nd down to keep them honest, put in Luton on 3rd if it’s more than 3 yards
Fugly first half. Fortunate to be down by 6. Could be much worse. I would like to know how many pass plays on first down. Foolish play calls by OC.
Pass happy in a rainstorm is fucking retarded.
Good news is the defense looks capable of not being the weak link here.
Bad news is between McGiven and Luton, the offense is still a crapshoot.
They better not make me stay up this late for an L.
PJ fleck looks like Rob Corddry from Harold and Kumar.
Make a valid argument against:
https://twitter.com/angrybeavs/status/906725713704755200
GA needs to get a grip on McGiven and Luton. They both like passing too much. Team has a better chance if they come out and run 12 or 13 straight to start the 2nd half and set the tone. Home crowd would love that attitude in this rain that is much like the Civil War.
So Luton should audible pass plays to runs?
Make a valid argument against this as well. New term, the “McGiven Factor”
https://twitter.com/angrybeavs/status/906726396877144064
Why didnt we run the ball with 2 minutes and two timeouts before the half. Im glad im not the only one pissed about the throw every down. What the hell!
Plan for 2nd half: Pierce, Nall, Johnson. Throw to Togiai, less stupidity.
Obviously, but what we will get is pass pass pass, punt. Pass pass, INT. Game over.
Fucking Luton and McGiven is like Harold and Kumar running your team. Can you guys tell I love the Harold and Kumar series? ;)
Yep. Tre Johnson appears to be in a good head space this game and has tons left in the tank so I like him and Nall for hard runs and Pierce for a touch more finesse. All 3 with the team fully behind them is a big part of what this offense needs in 2nd half. Will allow a few openings for Togiai and the receivers on throws that are not pick risks too.
Nall and Johnson with the Nall Ball & Freight Train and Pierce for good measure.
Why the F#% can’t McGiven see this, and where is GA’s head?? Absolutely unbelievable!
Now come the half time “adjustments”. Here’s hoping……..
bobby d is in the house. somebody please throw that fucker off the top of the stadium
I’m digging this Luton long ball.
5.7 avg.
Yeah, but the pass interference yards…
Ha ha. Good one.
Correction TV graphic 10+ yards per completion…you were thinking of your boi mcm
5.2 yards. It went down.
http://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore?gameId=400935265
Nall 6 touches.
Tall Boze 18 passes.
Weather: Rain and wind.
You can’t put most of this on Luton. He’s had some misses, he’s had some nice balls. But all he can do is try to execute this retarded fucking play calling.
He’s been terrible other than 2 throws.
At least we aren’t Baylor
Halftime prediction: if we come out on our first possession and run all over them with Nall and Pierce, get a Td, we win. If we come out and continue to pass with the Tall Bozo, we lose, possibly badly.
Three plays in and we have the answer. Why am I still watching this?
Weird combination of masochist and hope that all Beav fans have.
Well this is a loss, that was our one chance.
2 passes, 1 run out of half time. Luton looking horrible.
Well, Luton didn’t get more accurate at halftime.
Garretson maybe should be in now. McGiven just likes to try out his Luton weapon too much. Don’t have a great feeling about him throwing with that glove. Garretson may choose his throws more wisely and can scramble.
10 warming up
Get Luton out of this game. Garretson gives us a better chance. Just admit it, fans and staff. Suck up the loses and take your haircut. Move on.
Luton injured?
Fair catch on the 3-yard line, beautiful
Get ready for McGiven to call flysweep.
New QB in, it’s going to be a middle screen.
Don’t forget the awkward shotgun handoff that takes 5 seconds to develop
Guess GA doesn’t teach them to stand on the 10 and if you can’t catch it, let it be.
Same problem as not teaching them to not run kickoffs out of the endzone.
Fair catch at the 2. It’s hard to imagine how dumb you have to be to do that.
That was dumb, fire the full time ST coach, wait…….
Looks like Luton is hurt. Dont want to see that. But im ready for Garretson.
I’m surprised we haven’t seen garretson yet.
D looks good and st fair catches on the 2. Ugh
If the ol could do a better job blocking they would be running. What happened first play 1 run 1 yard and behind the chains.
Why would anyone try to throw with a glove on?
Grew up in Thriller?
Well there u have it 2 runs 1 yard and a fumble. Stupid mcgiven quit calling fumbles!
No, it’s better to call the right play and the guy fumbles. Much easier to digest.
Nall fumbles. Game over.
Maybe mcgiven isn’t so dumb to throw every down?
It never ends, pass the ball, run the ball, it doesn’t matter.
Wow.
So wrong.
Sadly this should have been an easy win. MN stinks.
This team is trash top to bottom, Jesus. Fair catch on the 3 yard line, fumble two plays later. Jesus
Jesus
Frodo
We might not see another run all game.
Points off turnovers, including imaginary ones that the Arizona booster in the replay booth would have called incomplete, are the difference
If the goophers had to go longer than 20 yards everytime they get the ball, they may never score
Andersen isn’t much of a game manager.
Game over. 3 turnovers from our offense. 17 points for Minnesota. Defense is doing everything they can possibly do. Dam it all. Is it mean or is something off with Nall this year?
Maybe so….AP actually started didn’t he?
I think Nall did start. But he just doesnt seem to be himself this year.
Turnovers are killing the team. If wasnt for that the beavs would be winning. Its been a bad start with the turnovers this year.
That was the story games 1 and 2 as well, which is why I was on the O more than the D. People were blind to it for whatever reason. O gave up 27 points to CSU.
Our O gives opposing O’s a short field or a Pick 6 almost every possession.
Well, the replay booth gave them one too.
Time to grind.
People saying it’s over in the 3rd quarter?
U haven’t people overreact to every play. Fire mcgiven take togiais lutons and nalls scholarships away.
Um… okay… maybe?
FWIW I said it was over in the 1st.
Luton with the 3 second hand off almost gets Pierce killed.
Give Tre Johnson some carries and hand it off quick.
Should have been targeting.
Yep, led with the crown of the helmet and everyone is sucking his dick because his mom’s in the crowd.
Repeating my opinion yet again……. even though it isn’t popular
I still think Nall would be helping the team more if he were playing LB and let the other guys be the RBs.
The OL continues to suck.
Also, it’s looking like MN made the half time adjustments and guess who didn’t.
The beavs d actually looks better after the half, the offense though, well …
Yet another visiting team is going to have a party in Corvallis tonight.. so sick of this shit
But Ed Ray said this is our house…
Watching Beaver Football is like watching an individual repeatedly break up with an abusive significant other and always coming back.
Welcome to ducks athletics!
Come on Minnesota, get to 50!!!!
Ready for Garretson NOW while we still have a small chance to come back and win this.
We can’t we try Garrettson? He can run and is more a dreaded “game manager”. Might be able to get things done.
He can’t throw.
D wearing out now and will get blamed for the loss.
O gave this one and the CSU away.
one guy to blame today is togiai. The fumble and then the drop in the 2 min drill both cost points
That drop was a bad pass by Luton. Not an impossible catch, but certainly not easy.
The “fumble” was a catch-no-catch, plain as day.
The “drop” was zipped behind his head. Luton throws more of those, and he’s going to tally some INTs.
We gave up 2 quick TDs to PSU at the start of the 3rd quarter too.
On a positive note, this is the first time I’ve seen consistent contain happening on D in about 4 years.
Why do the stadium comms play weed whacker sounds on third down?
Its our third down and we are out theme song.
I agree with the call.
Celestine should have left the game two minutes ago. So why call it now?
Stupid.
Better get Beau Baldwin sooner rather than later.
D has given up tackling. They’re done.
When the first guy stands up the RB nobody comes in to help finish the play. Reeks of a chemistry problem. Pretty sure they hate the offense and visa versa. Probably because the tall bozo was handed the job and stinks/keeps putting them at their own 20.
Totally. Effort and hustle disappeared after the targeting penalty/ejection.
Why you calling ball a bozo? Or was it togiai?
*nall
Hands to the face at the point of attack.
Golly. Rules apply where?
Where is this ref crew from?
Big10
So I didn’t have to ask.
Some of these calls are just so blatantly biased.
B1G, weird, right?
Fire Andersen and company now! I cant stand to watch this shit show of a coaching staff. Like someone else said. Another team having a party at our place.
Best part about this game is seeing Reser nearly empty at the end of the 3rd quarter. Absolutely love it.
Means we should go after coach Beau Baldwin.
Beau Baldwin for Beavers!
And the Outfield have sold out to Bounce? Way to pour salt in the wound, assholes.
Great recruiting weekend.
Immediate playing time!
Yep. Hmmmm… Do I really want to play here. Nope.
You know you’re doing something wrong when your biggest pitch year in and year out is “immediate playing time”
It’s like the Cleveland Browns having the 1st pick every year. We’re the Browns of NCAA football
Hey they went 4-0 in preseason lol
This ga’s most talented but undisciplined team in Corvallis. Not typical of an andersen team.
Riley started it, GA killed us, PK paid it all off.
Even Fleck intercepts Luton.
He ran a better route.,
Hodgins is no collins
Seth is that you
We can start focusing on next year.
Haha…Luton runs out of bounds instead of throwing it past the chains or taking a shot and running it.
Fleck making GA look like a Pop Warner coach at best. Actually, more like a 3rd grade substitute teacher on recess.
Buffalo gave them a game. MN looks like a really mediocre team, too. Very average at everything and totally beatable.
Wait for the middle third of the season…brutal.
Looks like OSU has a MWC coaching staff. Oh wait….
UA, ASU, and WSU are all losing too
At least we had schadenfrude this week (so far).
So what does GA tell the recurits??
“I accidentally put on my little boy pants”…?
Something about juice and big boy pants.
Gary Andersen: Bad FB coaching hire, or worst FB coaching hire in OSU history?
Scotty at some would you care to re-post your email exchange with the AD from earlier this year? I’d love to see that get some more play. I still can’t believe that exchange, whether it was with his employee or a fan or anyone. Fuck that guy and fuck GA.
Ummm…. No dont do that.
My email got completely ignored. Angry had the accidental exchange.
Minnesota committed to the run, we didn’t. We lose.
Yeah.
I agree to a point.
But we’ve been jobbed on many game-changing plays. Football is an ugly enough sport to begin with. This makes it just unbearable to even to pretend to suspend the reality that it’s just dumb.
The short would be that it’s dumb, but it’s fun to watch the effort and all the action. When calls are biased this way, dumb becomes dummer.
They wonder why their sport is dying. Call the game by the fucking rules, to start.
…aaaand they show the Junior Benny logo on national TV. That’s the final
nail in the coffin.
Wtf Morris sets up to tackle the QB who slides through the tackle and Morris gets a flag? Fuck that
That was a horrible call on the slide-no-slide.
Slo-mo clearly shows Morris was off his feet before Rhoda thought about sliding. And then he didn’t really hit him, mostly because Rhoda was chicken-shitting.
I think even hardcore OSU fans have to be waking up now. I dont see us winning another game this year. Please bench Luton. I would rather have a game manager named Garretson..
But Celestine spearing Pierce is some boat rowing shit.
Oh yeah. Thats legal.
Is that Helfrich pitching Pepsi?
Chainsaw so embarrassing.
Especially when down 20 in the 4th.
I was just thinking that.
Yes, it blows.
I hate it too. It needs to go. Why not choose a freight train. Also weak is the fireworks sound when we score a touchdown.
Leach benches Falk because they’re losing and he’s stinking it up. GA sticks with awful Luton.
Remember when I said we should hire Leach and got laughed at? I do.
Did he lock him in a shed? What about the players who think talk is the best choice? The pirate is ruining team chemistry.
I’m willing to laugh at you if you say it again.
Leach is brilliant. GA not so much. I dont think GA will ever put another QB a chance. He loves his new toy too much. Didnt we all say that GA lack of finding a QB would kill him.
Leach isn’t brilliant. Have you read the tripe he passes off as books? He’s pretty shallow.
There’s not a high bar in this world to be brilliant in football. But never conflate it with real brilliance.
So which is it? Do you want a game manager or Mike Leach?
The pirate just benched Luke Falk. Must be nice to have a coach that can make decisions.
Did the Anderson decide Beavs should fumble the ball?
No but he allowed the offense to commit to throwing over running.
Falk must be happy he didn’t declare last year.
No Cracraft is taking its toll.
Offense/Defense both suck.. Ready for basketball season
Womens’s?
Takeaways from game:
1. Neither Andersen or Luton is a game manager and we need one
2. Go get Beau Baldwin
3. If 2 faiils get Bryan Harsin
Game managers not welcome. Gun slingers and reckless coaches only.
What happened to Matt Wells?
First possession of the 3rd quarter was our best chance to win the game. Took their best blow in the 1st half and were right in it. McGiven came out and called awful plays, Luton executed awful.
Agree MN was more committed to the run. We barely tried to run it. I think Nall will finish with 7 carries and a 4.4 average. Meanwhile, Luton, the gun-slinging vertical threat averaged 5.2 yards per pass.
… so many passes on first down…
Remember when I charted Riley’s offense and concluded that we scored many more points on drives that simply started with a run? I feel like I can do that in this game as well.
I’m rather proud of charting Riley during those years (2009-2012). That took some fucking work. If you chooseto dismiss it, that’s on you.
I certainly don’t carry it to GA or anyone I see in today’s game.
Granted, it was some drunk work after we lost to Stanford, a good run D who we were running over for no good reason then stopped doing so… thus that loss… well… there was a fumble too.
There are times when the obvious just is the obvious, and I get fucking tired of saying DUH!
Sad part is the defense actually improved here. But offense sucked Gopher nuts. Defense fading now do to time on field.
It was actually this way every game. O responsible for 27 points vs CSU.
Hungalu is not good at reading the hole. Convert Nall to inside LB
Fleck’s new motto: “Motorboat the Beaver.”
“Teabag the beavers”
“Gopher some Beaver” ?
I’m… um… more of a visual person. Do you have any supporting evidence?
Gopher OC> than McGiveth Away.
It’s gotta be sooooo hard on them to see how bad they missed on Luton. They’re clinging to it so hard to convince themselves that he and whatever they are trying to do on offense with him is the answer.
They’ll definitely lose the whole team soon if they keep sticking to it, the players are smart enough to see that he’s so obviously out of his league.
I agree. Luton is a failure. Play someone else.
They need to retool the entire offense to run first.
Like 90% of fans here still think he’s the best option. Lol. And it’s because they don’t want to admit what I saw was right. GA probably doesn’t want to admit he was wrong. It’s hard for people to do, apparently.
It’s not Luton.
It’s McGiven. MM would have looked the fool and probably would be broken for the season by now.
Sadly, there were some positive elements added to the O this week. It’s sad because they are basic lays that should have been installed on day one. It’s like we have 75% of an offense installed in week 3.
Actually, it’s McGiven’s boss.
One loss could be said to be on McGiven, a pattern should point to GA.
I don’t disagree.
I just think the dissonance shouldn’t look so cognitive.
GA adressed the D this week. The D made changes. They might or might not have been sufficient. We’ll never know because the refs took the game away from them. But they were not the weakness. The O was again the weakness. And I’m not going to blame the fumble-fingers of some players. I’m going to blame the man in charge of making the O tick. All those skipped ticks are a result of someone not winding the cock properly.
heh heh
awesome
Way off on this prediction. Thing is I don’t feel it had to be this way. Just such a poorly coached and managed game…
Best player gets 6 touches and worst player on O gets 25+ passes. Just amazing stuff.
Beavs getting boat raced by a row boat
… a row boat made of yellow hankies.
Those were majorly biased calls against the Beavs. And it started with the catch-no-catch that was called not so despite the fucking cameras recording all angles of that play.
Honestly, I thought something was up when we got a line to gain replay in our favor despite the live call and the replay showing otherwise.
We, as far back as I can remember, have never had a replay go our way despite replay. I can point to about seven times when we got screwed (before tonight). Getting a line to gain replay when nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition was just weird. I said at the time that we never get really bad decisions created for and given to us, let alone this crap.
It seems the refs were trying to lay a baseline.
Just got home from a family event out of state, only able to listen on the radio, sounded like the team quit…Accurate?
Horrendous mental mistakes in first half and zero intensity coming out for the second half
Actually the defense made decent adjustments and played pretty well in the third quarter. The offense was inept in every way.
The defense that just failed to defend an obvious zone read? Sorry, first play I’ve seen and that was flat out terrible discipline. This coaching staff needs to be fired. Pathetic.
No, this one is on the coaches. Defense did well until they got worn out from being on the field forever. Villy showed up. Pierce showed up. Luton sucked. Coaches sucked way more.
Actually the turnovers and stupidity mid play is what killed them. Whether that’s on the players or the coaches, we’ll let the angry beavs decide.
No. D did well just like in every other game, despite whatever the stats say. O keeps them on the field too long and gives poor field position. Eventually they gave up just like in every other game, so that’s on the D. Luton blew chunks. Mcgiven blew chunks with poop in them.
Sorry but even if Luton sucks (and I didn’t see this game so not going to argue that), the defense is undisciplined garbage. The defense has not did not do well in the other games. That is a ridiculous statement. They’ve been terrible.
Might have tonight (although Minnesota converted tons of 3rd downs all game) but the defense was garbage in games 1 and 2.
There was no reason to play after they got jobbed for the fourth time. They held up until then.
Gophers prove to be superior rodent
This is due to Fleck >> Andersen. GA and his staff ANNIHILATED on every level.
Sad but I totally agree. TKO across the board.
It seemed to me that even the completed Luton passes were the result of receivers making extra effort – either diving to the ground or jumping high to reach.
Did they just say this is MN’s first road win since 1954? haha.
GA needs to go for recruiting Luton and running McM out of town. If he had any integrity he’d admit he has no clue how to analyze QBs, retire, and opt out of his contract.
Agree. McM should have been #1 option in a run 1st attack. Garretson #2. Luton maybe 3rd for a couple unique situations but preferavly let McM lead and manage the whole game and continue to develop into a winner as he was doing through hard work.
McM was progressing well into the game manager we need and then was run out.
GA should leave too since he was so wrong in his assessment.
GO GET BEAU!!!!!
baloney
Conflating the QB issue with the OC issue does nobody any good. What is Baldwin doing right now? What is Woods doing right now? We need a clear vision instead of being constantly behind the chains.
Why would Beau Baldwin come to Oregon State when he is already having success at Cal? He will soon be offered by a program with some hope. I’m sad for the talented players that bought into Anderson’s rhetoric. They know they are being poorly coached.
First coach at MN to win first road game since 1954
such a stupid stat
What’s the count when we throw in a waning moon?
Schedule sure lined up nicely for ol’ Flecky!
They fucking quit, just like they did at CSU. Serious problems with this team.
It’s the coaching…
It just defies logic that you would run a guy out of town who helped you beat your biggest rival for the first time in almost a decade.. the mcm move looks worse and worse every week. In addition to totally regarding the game plan that helped you win that game
Plus McM was the ultimate team player…dude kept getting demoting and rising above it. Yet Luton got handed the job for zero reason. You can’t convince me that’s not the reason for an obviously disjointed team.
Post game presser should be rich.
Who said he was run out? He had an opportunity to be a part of this team, as any good teammate would have done.
He chose otherwise.
Maybe there was something about wanting to be near home because of family. If that’s the case, then I don’t think he ran away like a loser acting like a baby. As has been proven time and time again, he sticks around, and he gets to play later in the season.
I’m willing to bet he didn’t see that happening, and he just gave up.
I was grinning ear to ear watching the Minny QB run that in.
Can we fire GA with cause? Because he obviously is not doing his job.
Yes yes, I know…
We can only fire him thru promotion.
I feel as bad as Rileys last year here. Frustrated beyond belief and being a life long beaver fan is getting to be depressing.
Nall’s new goal: stay healthy, test well at combine…at 7 carries per game, should be pretty safe..
Don’t forget to not cough the ball up.
..,and stop fumbling
something rooski… I just can’t remember the word
This season is the most embarrassing season I’ve had as a fan, and I’ve been watching the Beavs since ’89.
Then I call bullshit… or you’re a liar.
Actually, I call you a bullshit liar.
Google is available.
How will we recruit? Aside from playing time, no reason a recruit should consider OSU right now.
I think they call and email and text recruits. They also go visit them in their homes. And some of them come to Corvallis to check out the school.
There’s more to it than all that. But those are some of the basics.
What the hell is GA going to say during the pressers?
Big boy pants? Some rhetoric about toughness? He’s looked more and more depressed/disinterested each week. Anyone in the media going to have the balls to question his QB and OC decisions?
The manliest person at the pressors is Gina…..so no.
He’ll try to point to “one good half”……..except it isn’t there.
One good half of a quarter?
TOP 38:22, how does a player on D stay motivated? How does a RB do the same?
Wow. Just wow.
TOP 38:16 to 21:34. Weak sauce.
WE SUCK AGAIN!!!!!
I told ya……this team fuckin sucks!
One win season, that should be a winless season really.
I think Ando loses the team after this blowout…..gophers will get smoked in big 10 play…..we wold lose to rutgers
How does a win become not a win?
And don’t count Minnie out for the B1G West. We saw earlier that they are weak.
For the record, I was the lone voice here who wanted Fleck when we were looking to replace that twice disloyal shit named Riley. You can go look it up. I think I linked the video of him hyping before a bowl loss that year. It was just hilarious. But he’s so sincere about it all. It’s just funny.
You’re a genius. I’ll bet you also wanted Dan Hawkins hired instead of Riley II.
I would take you over Riley II. I would take your cat (or lack of) over Riley II.
What’s your point?
For the record, I didn’t spend a penny on OSU football during Riley II. I went to about four games per year. But I was gifted all those tickets.
The worst was watching Wheaton trying to field punts.
Ugh!
I dislike some things about GA’s tenure. But I’m now spending money on OSU football.
Suck on that.
OMG I have such a ladyboner right now *shiver*
That a new kind of doughnut??
It’s complimentary to a doughnut.
Artavis Pierce 8 35 4.4 0 12
Ryan Nall 7 31 4.4 0 7
Trevorris Johnson 4 9 2.3 1 5
Jake Luton 7 5 0.7 0 9
TEAM 26 80 3.1 1 12
How is that a rushing stat-line with this roster? Like, seriously how does that happen!?
Also, did Tyner quit the team already after he saw how stinky this cheese was?
Zenbeav, where are you getting the stats from? I would like to take a look at the pass/run ratio.
http://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore?gameId=400935265
Conor Rhoda threw the ball 8 times.
Thank you
So when considering the next coach, I suggest the following guidelines:
* NO ONE WHO HAS EVER COACHED AT UTAH OR ANYWHERE FUCKING NEAR IT
* NOT MIKE RILEY DEAR GOD NO
You’re welcome, AD.
heh heh
Minnesota rushed 58 times and passed it 8 times
Yeah but our run defense is good, lol.
What do I know?
Hey everyone! Let’s coordinate a home game where we get people to wear paper bags! Feel free to customize it however you want!
This will be way more effective than any “fan day experience” sad bullshit our athletic department puts on.
Hey, we played about “11 Strong” minutes tonight. Just unfortunate the remaining 49 were pretty weak.
11 strong…..plays total.
Fashion show was nice, footballing,not so much
Damm season lost after week 3. Was it MCM? Coordinators too comfy?? Ga lost his edge?
Just a strange regression from last season.
The more I see, it appears that the whole McM situation fractured the team before the first snap of the season.
I predicted that McM and Luton would have similar numbers by end of season. I just did’nt expect it to be for two different teams.
If MM acting like a loser baby and running away is the catalyst, then the team as a whole can transfer somewhere else. That’s how unacceptable that is as a “reason.”
Falk got knocked out of the boise game. There backup make Luton look like a Rhodes Scholar.
Never mind, hes now playing better than anybody we have.
Their backup could tell in advance who was going to fumble the ball?
I called it before the season. We’re going to lose to them and their true frosh walk-on QB in his first start.
The only difference this year is that I actually know who he his before halftime of that game.
Anyone have a link to the post game presser?

Nice.
well done
I wish the Beavs had a Burger King.
#20 team in the country about to lose to MWC team
It’s college football. The same team you just watched lose to Minnie could beat Bama next week. That’s how poor the product is as a whole.
I don’t understand why this isn’t obvious. And I’m correcting for team-centric bias. People think that team is good because that team racks up numbers. The reality is the team they faced sucked while they racked up numbers. They could have been executing perfectly and looking for blocks on people who weren’t there, and that would have been noted. That’s not what happens 97% of the time in college football. Most of the time it’s just picking on the 17 year-old sub.
It’s just not pretty.
And Celestine should have been ejected for spearing Pierce. Talk all you want about any other play. That was targeting.
Before you talk about talent, forget it. I’ll buy coaching. There isn;t that much difference in talent. So don’t bother with that argument.
Wasn’t that the play that the announcers commented on how the hit knocked the water off their helmets?
Yup.
It was textbook targeting. Kid should have left the field in shame. Instead he gets celebrated. And Moore gets kicked for a lesser offense. I agree that Moore goes by the letter of the law. I just want Minnie fan to know that Celestine should have been kicked for a greater and more blatant offense.
That was a really bad miss for the refs. The game was over after that. I gift them the call of a “miss” only because they had many in this game. They made a poor product unwatchable.
If Anderson doesn’t fire coaches in the offseason or before hand, then he’ll get fired at some point. We can’t keep recruiting pocket passers and expect them to run a spread offense. We either need to adapt to a pro-style offense with the QB we have, or we need to bench Luton for not pulling the ball more on read options to keep the defense honest. When he kept the ball those times, he gained positive yards and it opened our run and pass game up.
Who do we replace Anderson if we choose to fire him? We really should look at Jonathan smith or even levit(sp?) at Oregon for the head job. We need someone who is a natural leader as a head coach. We got a coach who was anti-riley. Fired up, passion, vision(sporadic), young, enthusiasm, charisma, doesn’t beat around the bush(until now).
Something has to change. Im just frustrated as hell hence this rant. ‘Im a man I’m 40!!!’ We need a rant that gets our players attention and gets us on the map cause losing and visors and sun tans aren’t going to do it.
OH FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Leavitt is a non-starter. Don’t even pretend to want that LaVonda Wagner model.
I’m too fucking old to go through this shit again.
No, you’re not.
From Benny’s House:
“Yep, we’ve managed to achieve an average FCS team in year 3 of Anderpants.”
GARY ANDERPANTS HELL YEAH BEST NICKNAME EVER
Perfect nickname
Oooh how about Gary Pantsdersen!
You had it… then you lost it.
Is beaver house your website, and you’re just pushing for clicks?
Anderpants has the bonus of having “derp” in it… hmm.
Oh darn you caught me.
Nice call with the derp.
Anderpants is perfect.
It is better than big boy pants.
Ftr, the announcers in last week’s game for Nikegon mentioned big boy pants twice. And I’ve heard it a couple times on other broadcasts unrelated to GA. I looked for the etymology, since it’s just dumb to start with. And it appears to begin with some obscure comedy.
?
I have not seen this obscure comedy. Is it funny? Is big boy pants funny or serious?
In the immortal words from Jim Boutin’s “Ball Four” … shitfuck!
I check this site like my email(been so for years) and this will be my first time commenting…
But unfucking real.
Never been so disappointed. Had to take off my shirt.
You went topless in the second half?
That tells me that you’ve only been watching for maybe two years.
Interesting Hunter Jarmon was on the sideline that’s fucking weird and sends a stupid ass message.
This doesn’t make much sense.
Yes.
A former teammate who moves on to a professional career after being a part of this program is a terrible mind to waste… or something.
If Anderpants has nuts he’ll fire Clune tomorrow
He doesn’t, He won’t.
Yeah, because this loss is totally on the defense…
Don’t you know? Anderpants cuts off blood flow to the nuts.
Clune?
McGiven is the target. Wtf are you talking about?
What’s sad is that the glaring issues might not be addressed if we weren’t jobbed by the refs on almost double-digit plays. These issues would still be here if we won.
I wonder if the refs don’t like Mormons. I mean, I’ve never found a Mormon who wasn’t either proselytizing or discriminating. So I guess I understand why there might be bias. But that doesn’t explain the blatant bullshit calls Minnie got i this game.
*never only applies to Mormons who are really Mormons. Jack Mormons are conflicted and most of the time on the right side of any social conscience.
Judging from the first quotes from the presser, wouldn’t be surprised if some coaches are gone tomorrow
“Someone cut a hole in the crotch of my big boy pants, and I’m going to figure out who.”
Aunt Patty sends the Junior College Mormons home sobbing in their magic longjohns.
