Has anyone watched this on Netflix?
It’s good. It shows the inner workings of the JUCO route, and it ain’t pretty. There needs to be a “minor leagues” for football, just like in baseball. Some guys aren’t cut out for academics. It’s time the NFL ponies up money and forms their own developmental league.
Question: the Juco coach, Buddy Stephens, continually pushes/hits his players — isn’t this assault/a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Sure we are. We’re angrybeavs, and we go where no Beaver website is bold enough to go.
Here’s the Schedule
Minnesota: L
Idaho: W
Boise: L
Colorado: L
Cal: W
Utah: L
Washington: 50/50, I’ll go L
Washington State: L
Stanford: L
UCLA: L
Arizona: W
Oregon: L
Subject to change: let’s do this again after Fall camp and see how we feel.
Hey Beavlettes,
I’m back home and trying to catch up on things. So I go to the Oregonian figuring I’d get my cup of generic tea, but instead I’m served a steaming pile of horseshit writing. Check this out:
The case for Irvine: He boasts the most ideal frame and best 1-on-1 coverage ability in this young group. But with that skill set, maybe he will legitimately challenge for a starting cornerback job. That’s where he’s listed on the new depth chart, after all, after holding the No. 1 nickelback spot after spring practice.
What the hell? Is that English?
Why is there a “But” and “maybe” in sentence 2? Why not just say “With that skill set, he will challenge for the starting cornerback job.”??
“That’s where he’s listed on the new depth chart, after all, after holding the No. 1 nickelback spot after spring practice.”
Ah, the old tried and true “after all after”. By why/how does “after all” make sense in that context?
I first noticed awful writing on Yahoo, which had to be 10 to 15 years ago. Now it’s everywhere, and it’s become the norm. I’m thinking it’s due to people being short/incoherent via text messages, but even so, if you’re a professional writer you’d hope you could form complete, coherent sentences, and if not, you’d hope your editor would put the kibosh on ^^ this ^^ before going to print.
To the point of the article, I think Irvine will definitely start. Maybe not game 1 depending how slow GA is to get the best players on the field, but soon into the season. Wallace and Wilson are good looking players. Williams doesn’t look the part, but he gets the job done. I’d think those 4 are the top talent (pretty thin) at CB. I’m bullish on Landry Payne.
It seems something is amiss with the site, there appears to be no way to post comments or to reply to previous comments. I swear, I’ve not been fooling around with the admin tools and have no idea what the problem may be. Hopefully angry returns soon to resolve the problem.
Meanwhile, the chat area seems OK, if you can tolerate the free dating spam, you can leave feedback or suggestions there.
oob
This will be a place holder for at least a portion of Angry’s absence.
I’ve still got a bad taste from the Beavs being left out of the NCAA baseball tourney and, it seems, some still have issues with the PAC12 TV network.
Is Larry Scott doing as well as can be expected?
Should Stansbury and, even, Ray be more visibly active in advocating for our guys and for fans of OSU? In what ways?
There is room for general stuff here too, have at it.
