Should be an interesting season for the Beavs this year. Not sure what to expect, but I'm looking forward to the Cal game this weekend.....

7:30 pm on ESPN

Go BEAVS

..if the beavers never won another game in my lifetime I’d still be proud to say I’m not a Duck fan!!!!

If it gives you comfort to cling to that belief, I’m all for it.

A man’s gotta have something.

Its easy to place blame on the Coach. But a coach is only as good as his talent.

QB Murphy looks unsettled and is not a good QB.
Is that a wolverine coming out from the back of his helmet?
It has to weigh a ton and hinder his head movement.
In defense of Murphy, first year starters often struggle. Beavs have no run game to keep the defense honest, and there are too many drops to go along with him missing open receivers.

But, I agree, he has not performed well.

The Beaver football program is a dumpster fire. Barnes the AD is still cashing his paychecks after making sure he got a raise in spite of knowing the departments funding was going to take massive hits and he's done nothing to create any excitement around the program to start the season or at any of the home games from all reports. Bray seems like he's in WAY over his head as a head coach. Gunderson is a miserable offensive coordinator. Tuiaki isn't doing anything with the D-line. And Jamie Christian certainly is doing a horrible job with special teams (why even have a special teams coach if this is result - lots of teams don't have this position).

I used to live for Beaver game days. Would schedule my whole weekend around it. Now I honestly couldn't care less. Happened to be home for a few minutes to watch the start of last weekend's Texas Tech game. First Beav offensive play resulted in a false start penalty. On the first freakin' play! Immediately turned it back off. That was enough.

Agree 100%. Remember, OSU was desperate and Bray and staff had a pulse, but each of them are so far over their heads. The players aren't prepared or disciplined, the offensive plays called make no sense, and there is zero leadership.

Murphy occasionally shows flashes of talent, but will mostly hit the portal.

On a positive note, the OSU marketing has finally been respectable after decades of embarrassment. New social media campaigns, new modern swag designs, and President Murthy seems to have the University as a whole moving in the right direction. Yeah academics, LOL!

What game did you watch? The Beavers had their moments, and they are not a good football team. Oregon will find out what a "really" good football team is next Saturday. Underrated? I don't think so. Wait until next weekend. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first one to admit it. Just saying... :)

Why are we still talking about the Ducks?

Houston is coming to town. They’re 3-0, the spread has the Cougars -11.5.
