Somewhat off topic, but I am listening to the Rays/Tigers game on the radio, and there is a guy who sounds like Jim Wilson doing the game. Makes me wonder why Jim Wilson isn’t doing bigger things. He is the best broadcaster the Beavs have ever had. Astute and interesting points, always spot on. Great voice. Not an emotional basketcase like Parker. Anyone know Jim, and why he hasn’t moved to better things?
Schedule is as follows:
Friday 7pm
Saturday 4pm
Sunday 12 noon
What’s the term for stealing an overall idea, but not necessarily verbatim like normal plagiarism?
Today we have this. Yeah, only been writing that for two years. No biggie.
Hello Connor, welcome to the blog, buddy.
It feels strange to be the lead Oregon State op-ed writer. Especially without pay. But I can handle it.
Craig Robinson lives another day. He and Bob D met yesterday and no news means good news (for him). Next year should be very interesting with Scott Rueck dominating, Gill at sub 1k, and a starting roster full of sixth men. The silver lining is it will cement Bob D’s incompetence.
Link here.
What I don’t understand is if he really believes that a Rose Bowl is the “expectation”, or if he is playing lip service to the folks at angrybeavs? The evidence points to the latter, since he rewards Riley with a contract extension for any bowl. So how exactly is the Rose Bowl the expectation? Where is the evidence of that.
Also, he declines to talk about Robinson and says they should have made the NIT. Very interesting.
This article, overall, reeks of angrybeavs, from Canzano’s questions to BDC’s lip service. If BDC is willing to field those types of questions maybe I should shoot him an email and ask for an interview myself. And Canzano, when are you going to send me royalties?
Hearing that Bob D has a meeting with him once he returns from the women’s tournament.
And then there’s the scathing piece Eggers wrote, which mildly implies he’s not afraid of ruining any future relationship with CR. While driving through Corvallis mid-week, I heard a lot of talk radio with the same sentiment. The host was saying he had to go because the fans weren’t engaged. That there is nothing worse than a fan base that’s too apathetic to even hate the coach. Obviously I agree, having written about the apathetic football fan base for years.
The buyout is 4 mil. It might be worth paying — attendance will be sub 1k per game next year, donors are bailing, and a new coach would likely boost both. So the 4 mil “loss” might be greater by keeping him around.
I’m still on vacation, so apologies for not updating for a week. Game time are as follows:
Friday 7pm
Saturday 1:35
