Pac-12 – Big 12 Tournament: Oregon State vs. Oklahoma State
12pm. Still radio only. It’s a shame because this is a pretty good tournament.
History of Football
On a slow day, I thought it a good time to share this piece on the history of football. It’s all interesting, but some finer points for me were the fact a Yale referee homered them into a big win in the 1800s (so we Beav fans are in good company, 100+ years of this), Native American’s key role in evolving football (and the first “underdog” in football history), Military origins of the game, Pop Warner invented the forward pass and trick plays, etc. It’s a good listen worth sharing.
Here are some photos from the Carlisle team.
General Thread
Tomorrow I will put up a Utah and Baseball thread. For now let’s do a general thread.
What’s on my mind: baseball team looks worse than I expected. I figured growing pains, but Casey has put out four questionable lineups, took Luke H out way early when he was pitching well, bunted with 1 out, etc. I’d argue he has not put the team in the best position to win.
The Davey Moore situation is truly bizarre. He will likely wind up a 4-star dual-threat QB who can actually throw. On twitter, he seems like a good guy who was fairly humble and into OSU. Grades? At least tell the guy. By not responding GA has given the negative recruiters more ammo. They can now say, “look how he treats recruits–loves them one minute, ignores them the next. Do you want to play for a guy like that who can flip any moment?” yada yada. I’m sure there’s more to the story and all, but when a coach doesn’t handle something correctly those arguments open up. Call the guy and tell him what is up. Period.
