Early game tomorrow with a 1pm tip.

Some are calling the Beavers’ style boring. I tweeted out that I personally find it gritty, hard nosed, and refreshing…better than anything CR ever did. Wayne Tinkle reteweeted that, so he at least appreciates some fans get it. It’s only 7 games so I don’t want to get too excited about Tinkle. CR looked good early on, too. But I like the style of play, the increased moxy of the team, more defense oriented, more designed plays on offense, and the rebounding and boxing out have been phenomenal so far.. This is all good. On an individual level, I see Victor Robbins stepping up his game and complimenting Payton. Olaf is hit and miss but can mix in with those guys to help out. The point guard, MD (can’t spell his name and don’t want to look it up) needs to finish in the lane. He does a good job getting into the lane, but can’t seem to finish. If he starts making those shots suddenly the offense is not bad with four guys who can score. This means there’s possible upside to the team. Until that happens, though, they’ll have to rely on defense and effort.

Why can’t the marketing department do anything right? They put a giant orange stripe right down the center of Andersen’s face?

A line down someone’s face is (a) disrespectful (b) looks like an Oompaloompa (c) looks like they’re crossing him out (d) looks like an old Polaroid exposed too soon (e) he looks badly sunburned, etc. Who thought this was a good idea, and how do they have a job?

I’ve been thinking how to handle these ignorant/lazy media members.

The best approach is probably to blacklist them all in terms of reading their content, but at the same time “Tweet” at them, showcasing to the world their ignorant viewpoints. That way we don’t give them any clicks or ad revenue while getting our message across.

Gary Andersen is supposed to be on Rome next week, so he’ll probably have a lot of good things to say, and that will destroy Rome’s lazy narrative. I don’t think the guy has ever been to Corvallis…he talks about in the same way he’d talk about the moon (i.e. some vague idea of what it might be like).

Also, I’m going to be using Twitter a lot to destroy the narrative and go right at these guys. Recommend me a good handle/hash for this cause, and follow me here.

QB Log Jam

OSU has 6 QBs on the roster.

Andersen recruited Utah QB Austin Kafentzis to Wisconsin. Wonder if he comes to OSU now. He looks like the undersized, savvy type of guy who can run a little of every offense.

Either way, log jam that needs to sort out, because there can’t be 6 or even 7 QBs on the roster. Maybe the more pro-style guys follow Riley to Nebraska.

Corvallis Media, Culture and Andersen Concerns

Gary Andersen, or his family, reportedly didn’t like Wisconsin.

So why not? What do they look for in a town? And will they like Corvallis’ culture? Maybe they only like Utah?

Also, is it clear to Andersen expectations have been raised, or will the low expectations of the past regime carry over to the point he thinks he can goof off and win 6 games and everything’s jake? The Corvallis media has very low expectation and low opinion of OSU–does he sense this and lose fire?

Finally, those who have seen his OC don’t speak highly of him.

These are my concerns.
