Smith commented on Twitter he was excited about the energy the team brought today. Coach speak, of course. I’m just excited (and amazed how quickly) it’s football season. Football very well might be our best of the three major sports this year (go Gebbia).
OldBeav, feel free to edit the post and add anything you would like to add.
If I can find audio or video I’ll watch and try to get a feel for the game and Mitch. So far not impressed, but it is early. After these two series we will have a lot more data and may be able to draw some conclusions.
Go Beavs.
My lady’s alma mater today announced they might have to close the school due to declining enrollment and mismanagement of funds.
I just wanted to reiterate the college loan bubble, which I wrote about beginning to pop in 2012, is popping in grander terms. Enrollment was down for an 8th straight year in 2019. I guess students have had enough of greedy professors, admins, etc, and are going to give the real world a shot. No better time than now to teach yourself online so it makes sense.
What does this mean for college sports?
My feeling is people will either stop watching college sports, or they will hitch their wagon to a random school that wins a lot. Neither is great.
Rueck likes baseball as much as the next guy, more on him below.
The Mitch Canham era begins Friday and we will have reports from AB’s on the ground in Surprise, AZ. Let your fellow AB’s know how you are following the games…….video is available on something called FloSports, and once again Jon Warren will broadcast on 1240am.
Andy Armstrong, who many expect to be the starting SS, says, “A lot of W’s come from the chemistry in the dugout.” So, how will Canham and his “I’ll coach from 3b, not the dugout” approach do in the chemistry area? How about Rich Dorman? Should be fun watching the interaction of the coaching staff, not to mention the players.
Who is your pick for the leadership among players? Claunch, Armstrong, maybe Mulholland?
RUECK: Ever hear of the SeniorCLASS Award? Me neither.
For 18 years the award has honored Seniors for their achievements in “Community, Classroom, Character, and Competition”. This year they left off one of Rueck’s “Good Girls Who Shoot Threes” from their list of 10 candidates for the award and he was pissed (nearly as pissed as he was at the officiating last weekend!).
In an unprecedented move, The Committee today added Mikayla Pivec to their list. Fan votes count for a third of the final decision and you can vote as often as you like. A link will be posted in the body of this thread.
In a surprising move, Steve Gress of the GT actually writes like a beat reporter in two recent pieces. One on Pivec and the CLASS Award and another on the trials of this years WBB team. Links will follow below.
General:
-MBB hasn’t had two consecutive W’s in conference yet, they’ll try Thursday evening in Gill.
-Eggers has a piece up on Chance Nolan, gives insight into his connection to Niner. **Podcast embedded**
-And, there are rumors that nikegon may offer their CB coaching position to Aric Williams, a 2005 Beaver grad. Potentially giving Phil’s Phoney Phools two Beaver related coaches for DB’s.
Have at it AB’s!
Wanna go general? Don’t ask,… it’s what we do!
GO BEAVS!
That last thread was a bit disturbing, so here’s a new one.
Have at it, Beavlettes.
