Well people call me an angry beaver, but that speech this morning took the cake. Eesh.
On a positive note, only 10 days until signing day, if we live long enough to see it. Need these coaches to finish strong and hang on to their hard work. That’s priority 1. Priority 2 is landing a few of the 50/50 guys. Priority three is getting an unsuspected flip or two. I want linemen, safeties, running backs, and corners.
First! #rowthebeaver
Say what? :-)
I think he’s saying that before we do anything, we have to row the beaver.
Ya im hoping for pili, moore, cotton, tyler, taniela. Then just some corner and judson could be a nice playmaker. Its not thend of the world if they lose calvin but would be nice to hang on to. Really like that tyler kid tho.
Green would be nice.
He needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat with some OL’s this year or that will have consequences down the road. Green would be a precedent setter. I hope they can snag him.
Agree think he might be going to utah tho. Don’t feel good about moore think maybe a duck. Judson is a wildcard. All others i mentioned i feel pretty good about. Also i forgot about watson who i feel good about.
Judson seems to like the Ducks. I think Green and Moore are 50/50 guys, but maybe NiceBeaver can chime in on that.
Which Green are we talking about?
Daniel.
Daniel Green is one I’d like to see in Orange/Black, FWIW 247 has him 57% Utah, 43% hole.
Hope the visit planned for the 27th makes the difference.
Hole is not in his top 3. He axed them because I believe they stopped recruiting him once Helf got canned.
Just going off of twitter he feels like a 50/50 OSU Utah to me
Hayes and Allen are listed as “athletes”. Anyone know where GA is projecting them? Allen looks like he could be a beast safety. Perfect body type for it.
Allen’s listed as an athlete because he’s multi-functional weapon on offense. He looks like a RB but can move like a WR.
Hayes stated in an interview he was being recruited at DB.
People are saying that was the best speech ever… just the best. And I’ll tell you, it could only be written by someone with a bigly IQ… the biggest… by far the biggest IQ ever… that’s right.
I wonder if his minions all convinced him to write that clunker himself because not a one of them wanted to be associated with its existence in future history texts.
To summarize… Eurasia bad, Eastasia bad, perpetual war to be continued.
…opened the drain…it begins. Awesome!
It’s not OT.
and your point is….?
I have many. The most obvious is on top of my head. The nose is a pretty good one too.
But Oblio proved that if everyone has a point then he must have one too, so having one on top of your head is moot. Go talk to Arrow…
Sorry, I should have said go play Triangle Toss with Arrow….
Now, isn’t that really The Point?
That was pretty nice. I’m going to borrow that one.
Odds on me posting that song later?
heh heh
…learning from the best… :)
Won’t be surprised if he is impeached. Good luck with that!
Well… at least being the leader of the free world isn’t as tough as coordinating a parade.
I’ll lay money on that.
That’s a tough bet.
Is he the expendable dolt of a non-man that the GOP thinks he is?
Or is he the duplicitous cynic his voters believe he’s not?
After Scaramucci basically told the overlords at Davos that he’s a globalist who just knows how to tame the beast that is the American moron, I tend to lean toward the latter.
But he really says some stupid things. So he’s either really lazy or just not that smart. And that would lead me to the former.
I wouldn’t want to be tasked with handicapping this one.
Gonna adapt the NBC from before: No Beaver Cares
It took how long to come up with an acronym that actually works?
Congrats on that.
Yes, because I was wracking my brain for weeks trying to make a good NBC acronym. Darn. You caught me. /s
This doesn’t conflict with reality.
Why the sarc tag?
Cry me a river. If you guys didn’t want to see him as president, then you should have tried harder. You know like everyone did during Obama’s first run, actually going out doing grass roots campaigning. I saw 0 Hillary signs, bumper stickers, anything really. But lots of Bernie stuff
The Democrat party is at fault for not showing up and voting. You guys laughed at Trump and now you are reaping what sow. You literally just got beat by the most unqualified, unelectable person to ever run for president. What does that say about Hillary? You Democrat voters hitched your wagon to the wrong cart. You should have supported Bernie, he would have beaten Trump.
Who are you talking to?
I haven’t voted for a Dem presidential candidate since 1984 (or a Rep since 1980). And the three months of last year would be the extent of me being registered as one over the last 29 years. The Dem party got out and voted, as did the GOP.
It was liberals who either didn’t vote or voted their conscience for once instead of always picking the least of two evils.
Sorry if that doesn’t fit with your narrow binary view of the world. But it’s not like you haven’t been conditioned by the two variables who would have you think in strictly binary terms, dismissive of anything outside those norms.
Right?
Besides… Trump is a Jacksonian Democrat.
I am so going to enjoy this ride. The schadenfreude will taste especially wonderful with this one.
So you sit in the middle claiming independence from partisanship, so you can sling shit at whatever side is most convenient at the time. Bold strategy Cotton.
Nope!
I’ve always slung shit at whatever side is corrupt. The GOP is low hanging fruit. But the Dems who are fiscally to the right of Reagan (like the Clintons) are no better. And the vestiges of this failed philosophy will soon be tossed in the trash… where it should have gone upon conception.
We just have to go through this comedic and extended set of death throes and a decade long depression to reset our nation. So while I revile the lizard diddle that is our POTUS, I’m going to enjoy watching the people who put him in power go through this reckoning. I’m ready for that whole lot of whiny turds to get a bunch whinier and turdier in the coming years. Are you?
The only people to blame for Trump are people that voted for Trump. Stop blaming others, if you voted for him, own him.
The disaster is on you, not liberals, not Democrats, not Hillary voters, not 3rd party voters, not even Republicans with morals and conviction that didn’t vote for Trump. Its on the people that actually voted for Comrade Oompa Loompa, no one else.
So the dems didn’t collude to steal the primary from Bernie? And by doing so showed their true colors And alienated there base? Yes you should blame everyone else for that. And don’t forget to include the russians, after all they’re the reason the dems are corrupt. Right?
If you haven’t known for a long time that the Third Wayers in the Dem party weren’t just social libertarians who believed in Reaganomics, then you’ve missed the boat. If you need a point of demarcation to point to so you can see the schism and who within the party falls on either side, go back to the vote for H.J.Res. 114 (107th).
Nobody who voted Yea on that one will ever get my vote. That’s a non-starter for me.
edit: the social libertarianism is apparent in their rhetoric. But they’re as cynical as the GOP with their doublethink. I should have capitalized that term to distinguish it from true libertarianism.
Nothing in the primaries matters, comrade Oompa Loompa is in office because a minority of fools voted for him, period..they don’t get to blame anyone but themselves…
Sorry if that reality bothers you but comrade Oompa Loompa’s presidency belongs to fools that voted for comrade Oompa Loompa ad no one else
Comrade? That’s the worst description for him. I get the Oompa Loompa thing, and he should elect Lane Oompa Loompa Kiffin into this cabinet, but “Comrade”? Hillary and Bernie were by far more “comrade”.
Hey angry, who was that guy who was stating that “his side won”, “liberals and progressives now own this country ” and other pompous crap during that big thread about gun control? I can’t remember what his handle was. Don’t waste your time looking it up, he’s not worth it, but of you remember off the top of your head cool.
And if that guy is reading this…….LOL. Things didn’t turn out quite like you thought they would, did it.
The way he’s going, he’ll probably appoint Anthony Weiner as the director of whatever department is in charge of keeping Congressmen from texting dick pics.
I expected some buffoonery from Rick Perry. But I didn’t realize how incredibly stupid Betsy DeVos is. That hearing was simply mind-blowing.
Speaking of stupid… our new POTUS requested the parade include missile launchers and tanks. The only reason the Pentagon was able to dissuade him from it is because the tanks would cause too much damage to the asphalt.
I think Comrade is an quick easy way to link him to his Russian puppet master, I get that the usage implies Communist Soviet Russia but since Putin’s goal very clearly is to eliminate NATO and re-create the Soviet Union (even if its not the communist form) I feel its a fair usage at this time but I am absolutely open to other ideas for insults and will happily use any that you offer. He deserves an unlimited number of them. There is only 1 thing I will never call him and you can probably guess what that is.
As to black bandit and your “liberals lost” stuff, not really. Remember, Hillary got more votes, the Democrats (liberals) gained seats in both the Senate and the House.
Sure Trump won because of our stupid electoral college system (and I am not getting into that argument here) but the reality of America is it remains staunchly left of where the GOP stands.
Remember, Obama has a huge approval rating, gay marriage is supported by more than half the country, Obamacare isn’t as unpopular as Republicans thought, most Americans do support reasonable gun control, states are legalizing marijuana, and most Americans do believe in human caused global warming.
Progressives are still winning. Putin’s puppet is merely a speed bump assuming he honors the political norms of this country (which I have my doubts about).
BlackBandit, I believe it was “Bill”. He’s likely a professor at OSU. I base it off the topics he gets especially butt hurt about.
I don’t think Putin is a puppet master. That’s a weird interpretation of the relationship. I think it’s more like two guys with neuroticism via 3″ dicks who have to kill big game, talk up nukes, and generally act machismo, and since they’re both doing it and relate to one another, there’s a bromance.
While we shall find out, I think he is Putin’s lap dog and Putin will walk all over him. He is Putin’s useful idiot.
Probably because Putin does in fact have very bad shit on Trump.
Sorry, but I don’t buy the strong man bromance. Trump is Putin’s bitch.
Well youngorst, Hillary was supposed to win in a land slide, the dems were supposed to win the senate back by 3-4 seats and the house was supposed to swing dem. That’s a clear message to democrates.
Yes people like Obama……a lot because they fear being labeled racists by dems, it’s called white guilt.
Who cares if gays get married, the biggest problem with it is that the gov is in the marriage business. It should be between states and who ever is getting married.
I am spending $1200 more now then I did before Obamacare for insurance and I have to pay an extra $100 to see my long time physician because he’s out of network. My coverage is so bad I had my wife take the kids on hers because of how rediculously expensive it has become. But because of rules I can’t get on her insurance because I work for a company that offers it. Yeah Obamacare is great if you don’t have a job.
As far as guns….lol sure they do.
Global warming? It’s climate change…..Remember……they changed it because the models are showing colder winter and hotter summers. Or is it hotter winters and colder summers? All I know is al gore has become a multimillionaire by selling carbon credits.
The electoral college is what keeps every state involved in the process. We don’t live in a democracy we live in a constitutional republic, that’s how it’s done. Dems praise it when it works for them and complain when it doesn’t, what’s new.
The fact is the dems have forgotten about the middle class working family. And guess who showed up to the poles? Go ahead and call them stupid and idiots, or rasict misogynist, xenophobic, homophobic or whatever buzzword you want, it shows how much of a “tolerant liberal” you are.
I’m not sure it was “bill”. They had a multiword name, And seemed younger.
Ah, blackbandits, you are adorable. Don’t ever try to get more intelligent, ignorance is bliss and your level of ignorance must make for an amazing high.
So much dumb in that post its not even worth my time.
Knock it off.
BB… you speak like an imbecile. Just shut up. People voted for Obama because they heard a wonderful rhetoric. Smart people did not vote for him (and didn’t pretend the GOP offering was viable) in 2008 because he hired Geithner and Summers. We knew exactly what he would do, sadly, even though he didn’t know at that time.
Gay marriage? That wedge issue cost my state millions of wasted dollars and a lot of fucking brains cells. It is possibly the reason I will forever hate the state of Utah.
Yeah… Utah can kiss my lily-white ass… two days removed from a shower… you love the white man so much.
I’ll call it my salad days.
Comrade works in a passing hit. Communism isn’t communism. Socialism isn’t socialism. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is neither democratic nor republican.
Who knew?
Don’t answer that. I’m still not prepared for that answer.
The names are neato and everything. The Russia thing will cripple the dumb fuck who is now POTUS. But it will happen because he is just a moron who knows nothing, and people will make all the excuses people make for fat, stupid trust fund brats who sign their paychecks.
Trump is anything but a self-made man. Trump is anything but a winner.
He’s also a 70 year-old who has a cardiac diet.
He will last about two years before he just collapses. The Trump International in DC won’t be a factor beyond the embarrassment of the just being dumb fucks who thought they could define is as something other than is. He’ll have to sell that POS.
heh heh… I noticed the drapes in the Oval Office are now gold. Dood is stuck on his Midas fantasy.
And I’m sad. Sad. The US is no only 49 states. Honolulu is now a part of Kenya.
Sad.
Don’t you ever utter that pure bullshit here again. You make yourself the complete idiot king of idiots when you do this. Democracy and republicanism are not exclusive, nor are they opposed. You just tagged yourself as a fucking stooge who knows nothing about the country in which he lives.
Don’t talk to me for a couple days, because I am really really pissed at you right now for disappointing me with this really really extreme stupidity.
So tired of the political rants. Jack, we know your fucking viewpoint. You have made that abundantly clear. Personally, I come to this site as an escape from the constant barrage of political opinions (without substance). Both parties are filled with corrupt, selfish assholes.
So… you really don’t know my fucking viewpoint. I guess that’s okay for me. It makes you look like a fool, though.
Buck up, my poor little snowflake. Words may hurt your poor little feelings right now. But you’ll feel better soon.
And you think that was a rant?
Your perspective is tiny. We must think big and dream even bigger.
Don’t be THAT guy. ;)
I wonder how this will affect the spring game/baseball game in hillsboro?
http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/18518579/power-5-conferences-vote-stop-campus-practices-vacation-periods
Baseball is irrelevant here. I think a game is something different than this as well. If we go by the letter, a game isn’t a practice.
What I wonder is how it will affect any programs who begin fall camps with a retreat. Would starting camp in Bend be fine because of OSU Cascades?
Good point about the FB camp in Bend, I’d hate to see that taken away.
Sidenote on the ESPN piece: Luke Del Rio to miss Spring practice and could be beat out for first string.
I know the baseball part is irrelevant. What I’m getting at is last year OSU said they wanted to make it a yearly “double header” so portland fans could easily catch some OSU athletics without having to travel as far. I think they call it the Damcity showcase, or something like that. It was reported to be a big draw if I’m not mistaken.
Ah… I obviously didn’t translate it properly.
Hoping we get a couple committments in next few days. Don’t want to wait until signing day. My guess is OSU will sign 23 in this class. Pili, Cotton & Tyler in upcoming days would really put us in good position to finish strong.
I would imagine were taking 25 or 26 since bowcutt is a missiin kid.
Tomorrow should be interesting, several commitments during the Poly Bowl include our targets:
Brandon Pili
Charles Moku Watson
its possible that Onesimus Lutu–Clarke could announce, but unlikely since he plans a Boise St visit next week.
Those ones are pretty close to 50-50.
others not announcing tomorrow, but ones who I am watching:
Falaniko, Moore, and Green
Its interesting we just offered tylers teamate and he tweeted him #btd. Good sign of getting tyler. His teamate is kalon barnes is another wr i think. Lol
They sure are serious about WRs. I’d complain if they all weren’t really good football players. I do wonder how many will remain (or were recruited as) WRs in college.
Kalon Barnes is a 2018 offer. He can follow Tyler in next year to play with his good friend. Something Jamire Calvin will miss with Arex if he doesn’t sign.
Your obsession with how Jamire Calvin should think is disturbing.
Nice i didn’t see that. He has a lot of nice offers.
OT: Wazzu hires ex Gopher DL coach.
I really like this Jeffrey Manning Jr. guy. I’ll admit I don’t know much about him, but his attitude about becoming a Beav just pumps me up.
Looks like we’re not getting Pili, unfollowed by Guinta.
Gross.
145
Just checked and Guinta is still following him along with many commits, players and coaches. Not sure what you are talking about.
Pili is pretty mystereous. He doesn’t reveal much.
It is interesting that yet another 247 analyst put him down as an OSU lean yesterday. I typically dont look at this crystal ball predictions. If anything, i look at recently timestamped predictions, which are mostly going OSU’s way.
Other than that, I have always felt like Pili was leaning toward USC or Oregon. If UW had offered, he would be going there.
I don’t know how badly USC needs a 3* DT either. Seems like they would have plenty of options. Should find out today where he’s going, at least temporarily.
Several polynesian players in play to commit down the stretch: Pili, Falaniko, Pututau, Unutoa, Lutu-Clarke, Moku-Watson… and surely some silent ones as well. Poly Bowl tonight where we will learn the plans of a couple of them.
