Boycott The Oregonian

I ask all my readers to boycott the Oregonian for their anti-Beaver/Corvallis bias.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Cancel your physical subscription.

2. Block all data mining and ad revenue sources from the online site. I will tell you how to do that after I mention some things going down.

For example, This article from Ken Goe seems to be purposely poisoning the well. Goe doesn’t like the dissenters who called for Riley’s head. Clearly the Oregonian (especially Lindsay Schnell) liked Riley more than the University. All of them now ganging up on OSU. Schnell called Corvallis a cow town, said “everyone looks the same” (i.e. reverse racism), etc. John Canzano told me OSU can’t compete with Oregon because of revenue (115mil vs 65mil). I pointed out Texas brought in 165mil to Oregon’s 115mil and wasn’t even ranked. That GaTech brought in 41mil and will finish a top 10 team. That it was about coaching and efficiency, not just money. He ignored it. He makes excuses. It’s all about excuses over there, and now they’re purposely poisoning the well.

How to block the Oregonian’s online ad revenue:

1. Download the firefox browser.

2. Install “Better Privacy” Add-on

3. Install “Adblock Plus” Add-on

4. Install “Ghostery” add-on

5. If you’re an advanced user, consider using Hostman to block ad-servers.

6. DO NOT visit the website. Find another source for your news. There are millions of websites. If these people are going to talk about OSU like it’s a shit job and Corvallis as if it’s a shit town, then we should not and will not support them.

We ran Riley out of town. We can shut these guys down, too, or at least get half the staff laid off as they lose half their readership (i.e. all Beaver fans). Let’s see if they can survive with just Duck fans reading the site.

Per Mamma Machado.

Beavs offering 1.5mil max for the job. Sooo lame. That will not sit well with the fanbase and pretty much limits the options to OCs, DII coaches, and lower level retreads. No wonder BDC is out in EWU. Ed Ray needs to go. He has zero commitment to athletics.

Created a new Twitter hash is #angrybeavnation

With Riley gone, I am going after the media next, and ask you guys to join me. The shit they’re writing is inane. In short, boycott the Oregonian. I’ll be writing a detailed post how to block all their trackers and ads, too, if you do accidentally visit the site.

Within the past 15 minutes, the Beavs lost Treshon Broughton and Jesse Sims.

Expect more to come.

Beavs better move fast and smart once the 5 day hiring period ends.

For Those Who Want Beau Baldwin…

Read this article.

Some key points:

Since 2004, 18 FCS, Division II or high school head coaches have been hired as the head coach of an FBS program. At their previous stop, those coaches compiled a combined record of 744-347, with a winning percentage of .682.

Promising resumes, however, have not always yielded continued success at a higher plateau. At their first — and sometimes only — FBS head coaching stop, that combined record dipped to 225-375 (.375).

So how are some of these coaches so successful at the FCS level?

“We had a lot of FBS-type players on an FCS football field. That’s why we were able to do some of the things we were able to do”

They landed more  “men amongst boys” than the opponent and dominated.  This explains why when they get to the D1 level most collapse.

Regarding Baldwin, I wrote this in the last thread:

Researching Baldwin since I think that’s who BDCheapskate will hire.

Some Baldwin clips:

His philosophy here is pretty smart. But I’m skeptical still…defenses have some ugly numbers, and I’m not sure how this attitude will work vs the wolves in the Pac-12.

Jack what is your take on this guy? I feel like he’d be perceived as a dud hire. But I like what he’s saying about the mental part of the game. That’s refreshing. Bad defenses, though and sounds like a player’s coach.

He’s definitely more mentally in-tune than Riley. Seems to stress psychology. I do like that part. Media was saying he’s a lot like Riley, but I don’t see that, either. I’m warming up to him.

My guess is that he recruited more D1 type players to his offense (we know Vernon Adams is a tweener/possible D1 QB, for example). So the offense humming along churning out wins. The defense, however, always looks poor.

While I like Baldwin in those clips, the reality is this: knowing the above how poorly coaches make this transition and why, do you want to take a shot on a guy like? Some people, like Lindsay Schnell,  just look at his record and offensive stats and don’t ask why. Those people love Baldwin.

Oregon State Moving Too Slow

I get it, they were caught off guard.

But the coaching carousel is moving, recruits are anxious, and not a peep yet from OSU about where they are in the process?

Mamma Machado reporting she can’t get a peep from anyone and gag order in place. Typical OSU.
