Oregon State @ Washington State
Go Beavs
Football Seems like a Mess
No buzz about this camp, issues at QB again, etc.
This report doesn’t help the mood. Sounds somber.
Also, this assessment by GA doesn’t make sense. The WRs are mostly all veterans who have shown they’re able to beat man coverage and make some plays (yeah, Bolden drops passes), but to act like they can’t get open is pretty ridiculous. Is GA protecting Garretson?
Anyway, watching videos the past few days and reading the papers, they make it seem like the program is a disaster. The rational side of me says:
- Year 1: Have to play with Riley’s guys.
- Year 2: Clean out Riley’s guys and bring in your own. Bad team.
- Year 3: Your own guys are young, but things begin to improve. Team might be good, might be bad but light at the end of the tunnel.
- Year 4: Good team
So I get it. But this is looking like a WSU level rebuild. I was hoping it would be more simple than that. Anyone else worried about GA’s track record with QBs? It seems like a glaring weakness, and he admits he’s not an offensive guy. First impression after reading the reports: this year could be brutal with a young defense and another iffy QB situation.
Oregon State vs Central Arkansas
This season isn’t going as planned so far, but up next is a get well series. If it weren’t for the injuries, I’d say the Beavs would win the next 8 games. As it stands, who knows…but these are some soft and easy teams (that’s what she said).
Go Beavs.
Spring Football Thread
To be honest, I haven’t followed much spring ball. Been busy with personal stuff, and what time I can dedicate to sports was spent watching the women and some baseball. So, for one, I ask you guys to fill me in so I can catch up without having to read all the articles, and secondly, discuss any new developments here. All I’ve heard so far is Andersen is working them hard, a few guys transferred…not much else. Also feel free to go off topic without the courtesy of an “OT” necessary in this thread.
Oregon State vs UConn
My quick take on this game: I’d like to see OSU go with both Hamblin and Gulich on the floor at the same time. Gulich has improved a lot where she’s no longer a liability, and the length could be disruptive. Then go with Wiese/Weisner and Hunter. Sub Gabby as needed if they want more D. Reuck should milk that lineup for all he can…just ask them to play most of the minutes in this [likely] final game.
I’d put the odds of the Beavs winning this game as 1 in 20. There’s definitely a chance with a great performance and UConn being slightly off (and OSU forcing them to be off even more).
Go Beavs
75-59, Uconn is my prediction, but I’m hoping for that 1 out of 2o game.
