Not feeling great about conference play. My hope is they've been playing to the level of competition and have another gear they've been waiting to use. Not likely, but that Kansas game gives me a little hope. We'll see.
Go Beavs.
I've been trying to think of a NYR that would improve the site. Today, while doing something completely unrelated to AB, I came across this quote:
Before you act, listen.
Before you react, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.– William Arthur Ward
I feel like "Dance like nobody is watching" should be on there. lol.
One thing I am guilty of is reacting too quickly or emotionally. This happens mostly in the comment area. If the Beavs get down 14-0 in the first quarter I would write things like "game over" out of frustration. Not sure that gives the site or me any credibility, so I'm going to try to bite my tongue more often.
Talk about anything Beavs here! Nothing going on sports-wise until Sunday.

I feel like this guy gets a free pass.
Wynn came in highly touted by recruiting services, and I had him as the 7th best prospect of the 2011 class.
He had one sack this year, and one sack last year. Two sacks over two years from the starting DE. Last year we all wrote it off as him being undersized and green. Despite gaining size, his production and disruption have been just as poor this year. So what is the verdict? Is this guy a bust? I have a hard time labeling him that at this point since there are players from the 2011 class who haven't even seen the field yet, and will make impacts down the line. Is Wynn a victim of high expectations?
I'm not sure, but I do know OSU needs better production from the second "bookend".
Discuss.
