Attention Beaver Fans

9:12 PM Wed, Sep 20, 2006 |

So you're an Oregon State fan or alum or a big time booster. Dennis Erickson is at the University of Idaho looking around and trying to figure out what has happened to his coaching career. If he has the slightest success every Athletic Director is going to be knocking down his door.

Flash to Corvallis where boosters are getting a little antsy over the future of the Oregon State program. A drubbing at Boise State doesn't get anyone rea...



It Goes Both Ways

5:21 PM Wed, Sep 20, 2006 |

Thanks to Tim for sending me this link. Oklahoma and its fans should feel pretty lucky to have escaped week one with a win against Alabama-Birmingham. You will have to copy and paste this one.

It's No Holiday

4:17 PM Wed, Sep 20, 2006 |

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING TO DO TO STRAIGHTEN THIS WHOLE MESS OUT.

HAVE THE DUCKS AND SOONERS PLAY IN A BOWL GAME.

I KNOW THEY FACED EACHOTHER IN THE HOLIDAY BOWL LAST YEAR BUT LAST TIME I CHECKED CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED.

IF E-S-P-N WANTS A RATINGS GRABBER FORGET THE ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS CHAMPIONSHIP, AND THE DART CHAMPIONSHIPS CAN WAIT. I GUARANTEE THE ENTIRE SPORTS WORLD WOULD BE WATCHING THIS GAME.

I KNOW I...



More Oklahoma-Oregon

5:08 PM Tue, Sep 19, 2006 |

It just won't go away...

Sooners fans take their football seriously... and they also don't mind making a buck or two from this situation.

There's already a web site devoted to the game and the officials calls... and if you click the link at the left of the site you can also buy a t-shirt.

By the way I take a large.

It's Not OK

11:28 PM Mon, Sep 18, 2006 |

I don't care if you root for the Ducks or not a bad call is a bad call is a bad call.

There were a couple big ones at the end of the Oregon / Oklahoma game Saturday.

The one that everyone is talking about dumfounds me. How can 7 officials, 2 or 3 officials in the replay booth, and then the entire crew of ABC Sports completely whiff ?

All they were concerned with was who touched the ball and when ?

I know that's ...



Viking Quest

9:16 PM Thu, Sep 14, 2006 |

Every year during college football season you hear so many teams criticized for playing a weak schedule. Some schools like staying at home, playing weak teams, collecting the paychecks, and don't worry about strength of schedule. To them it's more important being bowl eligible than going on the road to play a tough team.

Not Portland State.

PSU is the type of team Division One schools on the west coast like to play. They know t...



Coming... Sooners or Later...

10:56 PM Tue, Sep 12, 2006 |

For years some of the elite college football teams wouldn't venture to the state of Oregon. But in 2003 Michigan paid the Ducks a visit. Being on the sidelines, seeing the Wolverines come out was a real strange experience. Strange because teams like that never came to Autzen or Reser Stadium.

There is a simple explanation and it has to do with money.

Teams like Oklahoma and Michigan only play 3 (sometimes 4) non-conference gam...



The T.O. Watch

5:16 PM Mon, Sep 11, 2006 |

Philly fans need to get over Terrell Owens.

A Philadelphia Sports Talk station is taking listeners guesses as to when Terrell Owens will have his first blow up with the Cowboys and Bill Parcells.

In fact you can go to their web site and take a guess.

I don't know if there's a prize involved. But if there is, you have to split it with me.

Kareem Abdul-Ja-Garbage

5:03 PM Mon, Sep 11, 2006 |

I'm kind of a neat freak. I like things tidy. I constantly take out the trash and try to keep things orderly in my house. But I would never go to the lengths Kareem Abdul Jabbar did.

Kareem... there are places called dumps. There's also things called trash cans.

It looks like the block party won't be happening this year.

Smells Like Reggie Bush

7:44 PM Sun, Sep 10, 2006 |

I'm a Reggie Bush fan like everyone else.

No, I don't have a poster over my bed. Wouldn't go over well with the wife.

I also don't think she would want me smelling like Reggie Bush. Then again maybe she would. Have you ever been in an NBA locker room ? Those guys smell good. They can afford to buy some of the most expesnive cologne in the world.

An NBA locker room actually smells like a Nordstrom counter. It's not hal...



Beavers in Boise

11:28 PM Thu, Sep 07, 2006 |

I'm sure a lot of Beavers fans are going to be jumping off the bandwagon. After all OSU has a bye week so there will be plenty of time to talk about this humiliating loss.

I never think a team is as good as its best win and as bad as its worst loss. But I do think there are issues that have to be addressed. Oregon State's secondary was one of the worst in the country last year and now it appears this year's rushing defense will rival i...



Welcome to Fresno

10:09 PM Tue, Sep 05, 2006 |

FRESNO STATE HEAD COACH PAT HILL'S MOTTO IS... ANYONE, ANY PLACE,TIME.

THE REASON HE HAS THAT MOTTO IS FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT BIG TIME SCHOOLS JUST DON'T PLAY "AT" FRESNO. FRESNO ALMOST ALWAYS HAS TO GO ON THE ROAD TO PLAY THESE SO-CALLED BIG TIME SCHOOLS.

HOME AND HOME IS LIKE A FOREIGN CONCEPT.

WASHINGTON, KANSAS STATE, TENNESSEE, WISCONSIN, COLORADO WERE ALL AWAY GAMES FOR THE BULLDOGS WITH NO HOME GAME IN RETURN...



Andre the Giant

8:32 PM Mon, Sep 04, 2006 |

IF YOU SPENT THE WEEKEND MAKING SMORES AND WEREN'T NEAR A T-V SET YOU MISSED ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL MOMENTS IN SPORTS HISTORY.

ANDRE AGASSI PLAYING THE FINAL MATCH OF HIS CAREER.

THIS ENDING WAS LOU GEHRIG-ESQUE SIMPLY FOR THE RAW EMOTIONS THAT WERE ON DISPLAY. HERE'S A GUY WHO WAS YOUNG AND BRASH AND WASN'T ALL THAT LIKEABLE IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS. HE THEN TRANSFORMED HIMSELF IN FRONT OF OUR EYES INTO ONE OF THE MOST WELL-LI...

What Western Conference General Manager is in town with his wife ?

Not sure what he's doing or why he's here.
