Here’s the weekend schedule. I’ll be watching as much as I can to see how Mitch looks this year. Go Beavs!

Just some housekeeping and updates:
1. Oldbeav and Nicebeav, do you guys have the ability to ban users? If not, I might have to give you guys this ability for when I’m not around. It seems when Santa was away, the elves came out to play.
2. It looks like AB will survive. I don’t want to hear A@A groping. If he likes to work for free, cool. He can do that. But anyway, you guys came through. It’s not a lot, but at least it’s not near zero. We can call off the April 1 deadline and call things good so long as they stay in place.
3. If anyone has to cancel (finances, hardship, etc) their recurring in the future, please post about it here or write me an email, so we can hopefully find someone to take that place. If anyone was planning to donate still, you can, and thanks in advance.
4. Go Beavs – General thread, anything goes.
Thanks to all for understanding. Generous people here.
New thread up Friday for baseball, but we’ll stay general for now. The baseball thread is already drafted and scheduled to post Friday morning, so mods, no need to do anything.
OK, Smith has a big stadium remodel in the works. That may help recruiting, but what are the most important areas in which he needs additional help? And who might provide that help?
Would you like to see more involvement of guys like Erickson, Petersen, even Riley? How could they impact Smith’s performance? Maybe it’s more straightforward, just get the right fresh face on the staff?
Let’s hear your thoughts on what’s needed to move the W total to more than 6 or 7. Will making the right hire for PAC commissioner have any impact? And, how ’bout those bitcoin and oil charts?
GO BEAVS!
There’s a list of maybe five people this could be. Anyone have insight into who it is? I’d take the info personally via email if you don’t want to say on the board.
50 mil seems like too much for our usual donor, the Resers. It made me wonder if it’s the finance guy or Nvidia guy. Seems one of these two is more likely.
Also, if they could afford 50 mil, why couldn’t they make a generous recurring, monthly donation to AB???
An unproven coaching staff, little national recognition, the return of Kevin Abel. How will you evaluate the coming season?
Give us an idea of what you feel constitutes an acceptable (or better) campaign.
Is it:
-only a nat’l championship will do
-finish in the top 3 of the PAC
-lead the league in DP’s, stolen bases, hit and runs
-sweep u of nike
-something else
The donate button is still up at the top of the page, if you find yourself here a couple times a week why not consider what Ripper said, ” a recurring monthly donation of a couple bucks won’t impact your lifestyle”…and it’ll help keep the site up.
