With the new coaching staff and a fresh new set of schemes ( off & def) I'm anxious to see how well the Beavs do this season. Changes in spring practices ( full contact instead of Riley's no contact ) means the Beavs risk injuries during the off-season but also will be up to game speed and...
With almost all freshmen and sophs, I'm surprised to see how well OR St has played so far. They made late inning pitching mistakes (bullpen pitchers), and a couple dropped fly balls have resulted in extended innings, costing them the games. The coach seems to be trying to get as many of the...
With the new coaching staff, the best recruiting I've yet to see at OR St, and GA seems to have more of that "Eye-of-the-Tiger". Can't Help being optimistic.
Clean sweep of Fresno St and the Beavers are 13-3 with a game vs Portland mi-week that they should win easily. I expect them to be 14-3 going into the PAC 12 opener @ ASU next weekend. Hoping for the best there.
Or St team is looking better and more solid with each game. Just won a double-header vs Fresno St 5-2 and 12-2 with 1 more to go in the series. The team improves to 12-3 record now. GO BEAVS ! !
I need to get my '80 Honda 900 Custom into a shop for repairs. It's been frustrating to see it on the carport and not be able to take off for a ride. Mine doesn't look this nice.
Lost to Oklahoma on Saturday, beat Kansas on Sunday so OR St sitting at 5 - 3 now. I hadn't realized that 7 of our top players went to the draft after last season. The team is made up of nearly all freshmen, sophs, and a couple jr transfers. It's going to be a bumpy road this season and I can...
I grew up a Raider fan and still remember when male fans came in slacks & dress shirts ( ties optional ) and the female fans came wearing knee length or longer dresses. I haven't rooted for them since they brought Plunket back and he won that SB.
After losing 2 games to New Mexico, they beat #19 Oklahoma State, and Friday, beat Kansas State. Currently 4 - 2 and play Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. They play U of Kansas on Sunday.
With a new coaching staff and the best recruiting class I've yet to see at OR St, I'm thinking the Beavs are going to be a dark horse this next season. They'll sure rain on a few teams' parades.
Well, OR St just choked away a 2 run lead, then started changing pitchers every inning. New Mexico has a very good LH pitcher that kept the Beavers from scoring until he got pulled in the 9th. Beavs lost in an ugly 4-7 game.
Beavs were cruising with a 2 run lead most of the game. Rasmussen came out of the bullpen in the 8th and almost pissed the game away by walking a batter, hitting another, throwing a wild pitch to advance them and was lucky to have gotten out of the inning with MSU only scoring those 2 to tie it...
I've driven mopars since '74 and they always stamped an " L " in the end of the left hand threaded studs. While my fav muscle cars were late '60s, I'd have to say any hemi powered mopar would make this thread. When mopar ditched the 383 and replaced it with the low compression, detuned 400ci...
Northwestern changed pitchers so many times, I think their bat boy was pitching the 9th inning. Moore let them score 1 in the 3rd, but was lights out until late when replaced and the OR St pitching was excellent. The Beavers had chances with runners on 2nd and again with a runner on 3rd with...
One of my biggest regrets is selling my weapons. Had a S & W .357 revolver, stainless 6", police issue. Had S. A. PD engraved in the trigger guard. Other regret was selling my Savage .300 Model 99 rifle. I still find myself looking for another .357 w/ long barrel. Mostly finding snub-noses.
He was attending a community college in AZ and had no idea that he could get a full schollie to a D1 university just for punting a football. I'm very impressed with the new coaching staff's recruiting. They are a dark horse threat in the North. GO BEAVS ! ! ! !
I've been procrastinating for toooooo long, and am going to do the brakes on my '66 Plym VIP. It's drum all around and I'm starting out by converting the master cyl from the original single reservoir to a dual. I got the lines and splitter box from a recycle yard. Should help but wish I had the...
I can't remember for sure, but I don't think Riley ever got any recruits ranked in the top 5. Mostly he found unranked or ranked in the 50 - 100 range, then coached them up to be competitive. I'm really looking forward to this new Beavers team being assembled.
