Jack is Back
Woh!
Was part of your plea deal to get released by the Super Bowl? Is prison as bad as they say it it? So many questions!
Welcome back, dude.
Gebbia vs Nolan
This is the first year in forever, maybe ever, where I don’t care who wins the QB job. I have Nolan as a 4-star, and I think I had Gebbia as a 4 or 5-star. Both are about equal on tape with their passing ability and grit. Nolan shows better wheels.
Who do you like winning the job? Anyone else feel the same as me where this is the first year where even though there is a competition, you don’t care who wins?
What separates the winner from the loser?
Very good situation to be in: we should have a great starter and backup either way. Let’s hope the loser doesn’t transfer.
General Thread
Have at it, Beavlettes.
How long before Smith gets us to a Rose Bowl? I sense something brewing the way he’s worked transfers the past two years combined with the teaching.
General Thread / Human Bias
General thread, but I did want to discuss bias this off season. Here is a list of many/all human biases and examples of each. Please read through them, and think how they apply to our views of (a) one another (b) our view of Beaver athletics (c) day to day life (investing has a ton of them, but so does hiring an employee, etc).
Based on the comments in the prior threads, we know there was cognitive dissonance regarding Riley. I see a few more that fans and myself are guilty of, but see if you can spot some of them yourselves. It’s a fun read and a good time to self-reflect and realize we’re all victims of this faulty wiring.
Memories Part II, Lurkers still welcome!
Let’s continue in the same spirit as last thread.
Maybe include:
–how you became a Beavs fan
–personal encounters with athletes when you were a student or Uber driver (lookin’ at OldYeller)
–experiences with fans of other schools
–your advice to angry on that “modesty” resolution
Of course, feel free to go general; talk about Smith’s new contract, WBB, and any news on the disappearing Jaylon Redd……
GO BEAVS!
