PrintAs a native Minnesotan and perpetually-in-angst Vikings fan I'm pretty excited for this game tonight. Farve coming over the Vikings made me kind of queasy at first (more angst) but since he's settled into the team and said the right things - especially about AD being the guy - I think it was the right move. We'll see if he can hold up for a whole season though - the Vikes line has been shaky (new center).
Farve, in his ESPN interview, today told the Green Bay fans "it was 16 great years. You can't take that run away. Enjoy it." Hmmm. Good interview though.
The media machine is certainly hyping this game beyond belief but I'm not sure it can be over-hyped. It really is surreal and unprecedented in sports. If you disagree or can name a more extreme example of a superstar going to an arch-rival please leave it in the comments.

One way or the other but it should be fun to watch. As usual I will ignore the talking heads
Im tired of Brett Favre. Just retire already.

I can't believe Farve said he might not play every game.
Who does this guy think he is? Shaq?
All joking aside, if that’s true: if you can’t play every week, you’re probably not healthy enough for the NFL.

Brett Favre, who has a streak of 273 consecutive starts, has some leeway with his comments.
Yet, with that noted, I think Favre will start every game this season, so long as his health permits it.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
what kind of statement is that?
I think Favre will start every game this season, so long as his health permits it.
He’s not going to get benched.
Right, I was basically stating the obvious there.
If Brett Favre is healthy, he’ll start each and every game.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
My fantasy football team needs a big day from the Vikings D
but not from AP. I’m thinking this is the first offensive shut out in league history. Only the Vikings D or special teams scores points.
sorry maggy
you’re gonna be 0-4

Viking cheerleaders' swimsuit shot
in case it helps sway anything. The one in white towards the left might . . . . The Packers don’t have cheerleaders, at least not the kind I like.
I wonder when we might get a blazers dancers swimsuit shot (just to not be completely off-topic)?
put a body on 'em
Irsay and Boozer are the only 2 on that list I’d really consider traiters on a Favre level

The Fan Fest
Hey, Just wanted to share with you guys the story of the best.fanfest.ever.
I went w/ twiggs , twiggs mom, my brother and my son. We arrived at 4 PM , an hour early, and already the line was out of control long. Like accross the interstate max tracks. Twiggs was in Schonz Place and let us sneak in. While waiting for our food (they have phenominal service there, no really s/) BRP and Tinfoil scared me onto the floor. I screamed so loud you would have thought Batum was walking around the concourse.
We lined up at the “gate” (a thin rope guarded by a thinner bar tender) and dashed to the front rows right at 5 PM. Twiggs mom and I booked it. She got us into the second row.
Right next to Melanie, Nic Batum’s fiance.
Around the 2nd or 3rd quarter, she and my brother struck up a Conversation and she offered to take us with her to the lockerroom.
So after the game, Batum’s fiance led Twiggs, twiggs mom , myself Q and my brother to the hallway right outside the lockerroom to wait for Batum.. and the rest of the players.
Best. Moment. Ever.
Twiggs got a pic w. Rudy. We got a picture with Greg Oden. (yeah all my criticism flew right out the window “sure Mr. Oden I’d LOVE a picture w/ you”).
ALl the players signed this lil ball for my son and Brandon gave my son a pound and play punched him in the stomach. All the players signed the ball except for Steve Blake (lol) and Andre Miller.
PICS:
More Coming, We just had a fire in the building and i"ll be running in and out . SMH

No and let me just say now, His fiance did us a huge favor, please don't disrespect her or myself.
His fiance did 5 random fans a HUGE favor by allowing us into the lockerroom for no apparant reason. She was classy, nice and very very sweet and gracious. I am very grateful to her for this oppurtunity and we wont soon forget it.
So anyone else w/ snarky comments, I would never fight a woman over a man, I would never disrespect a person just b/c i have a pretend crush on her husband and any comments are inherantly disrespectful to the very person who facillitated this.. so STFU it’s not funny.

It’s a nice move by Sophia or there’d be 100 more DID YOU OFFER TO BE HER ROOMMATE AND THEN SLOWLY ADOPT HER MANNERISMS AND STYLE OF DRESS AND THEN TRY TO PRETEND TO BE HER AND SEDUCE BATUM WHO FINDS OUT TOO LATE IT ISN’T HIS FIANCEE AND THEN YOU TRY TO MURDER THEM ALL jokes.
actually, that’s why I made the joke… so 30 other people wouldn’t

Wow Sophia that is so fantastic! What an experience for all of you
and especially Q. He looks so happy and excited. You’ve started him on his road to basketball glory. Q already looks a little like Batum and he’s tall so that means he’ll probably be a forward. Just think, in a few years I can show people pictures of Q and say “yes, I knew him when he was small, and I knew then he’d be the greatest Blazer forward of aaaaallllllllllllllllllllll time”. :)
More pictures please.

"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
1982 and 1983 were the years I remember best
Have pictures of myself with Sax, Baker, Derrel Thomas, Maldonado, Steve Howe, Rick Sutcliffe, Kenny Landreaux, Rick Honeycutt and Davey Lopes.. and… Bobby Welch.. and one from when I was really young with Don Sutton.. and, of course, Manny Mota.. my good friend and my lil’ sister’s godfather..
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
Oh nice!
What a great group! I love Mota – what an awesome hitter all through his career.
Bob Welch – a much better pitcher than the other Bob Welch is a guitar player. – Elgin
Without you out there, we're nowhere here
Yeah, that was a lot of fun
Welch was one of my mom’s favorites. She always talked about him striking out Reggie Jackson as a rookie in the World Series (77 or 78) It was hard seeing him go to the A’s right before ‘88.
Manny Mota and his family were the greatest; they lived like 20 minutes away from us when we were in Tijunga. I don’t remember him playing at all; he was really just the first base coach in all my memories. But he had a great room in his house dedicated to a lot of his baseball accomplishments. It was always so cool to look at old copies of the Guinness Book of World Records and see his name there. I remember my mom would open up our house to be a host for some of the Dominican kids he brought out to his baseball camp (that my older brother got to be in).
Fun times; great guy. Every time he saw me he’d say the same thing.. Danny My Friend!! in a great thick accent.
We’re not as close now but am still close with one of his daughters (who had great big sisterly advice to give me when I told her I was getting married at 20 to a girl I knew for a year but she still came to the wedding).

Sounds about right.
Probably less assists and rebounds too. He was the centerpiece for a lot of sets, but I don’t know if they should do that when he returns. I guess you want the ball in the hands of your best scorer, but will he be the best creator for that team? Doubt it, especially with Brooks improving.

Shavlik had a good game in the Miami scrimmage. Didn't start, but drew two charges in five minutes which got noted by reporters and team members
They also all but confirmed that they want to use Beasley as a small forward, with Jermaine O’Neal at center and Haslem at power forward.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard

I could even see it work great on a team like the Cavs, except I’m not sure that Jermaine can handle Shaq. I do think Beasly V James would not be great for ’Bron.

LeBron would kill Beasley right now.
Beasley’s size would help him, but LeBron has so much more intensity on defense that Beasley would be worthless on offense.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
Yeah, and Beasley was AWFUL on defense as a rookie
He’s pretty athletic, but was a one-way player… having him more on the perimeter on defense will actually hide some of his flaws with strong defenders like a healthy Jermaine and Udonis, but I don’t think he can keep up with good SFs.
Yeah, I know there is a lot of homerism in this comment...
But I think Batum may be the overall better player. At least as a SF. His D is WAAAAYYYY better and his looking good as a role player and partial creator on offense.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
Beasley is really talented
But with his mental makeup that we know of (super annoying in HS, having trouble letting the past go, immaturity) and his skillset much more offensively based, I know I’d rather have a roleplaying SF like Batum over a guy who could be a star but you have to compensate a LOT for.
I feel like Beasley's absolute ceiling as a SF would be Melo
And you aren’t Melo’s biggest fan anyway. If things go just a bit wrong, Beasley is Derrick Coleman instead.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Haha, I do like Melo
I used to defend him all the time here when people were really ragging on him.
I just don’t think he’s a superstar, since ya need to compensate for him, but if Beasley turns into Melo, that’d be terrific. And Riley LOVES Melo, says he’s the best SF ever… which is… well… wrong.. but… he’s Riley… so…
Yeah, Michael Beasley should definitely copy his game after Carmelo Anthony.
The Miami Heat are right to play Beasley at small forward, although he ought to see plenty of time at both forward spots.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Yeah, a little Homerish.
People forget just how good Beasley was in college. His offensive skill set is ridiculous. Batum is a better defender right now for sure, but Beasley is still a better talent.
by dario argento on Oct 5, 2009 11:01 AM PDT up reply actions
It's the lack of an all-round game
Batum is better at defense than Beasley is at offense, BUT Beasley could be great if he pulls it all together.
I think Batum will be a star role player…
So it becomes the age old debate of what helps more— a star who puts up stats but with clear weaknesses in his all-round game, or a solid role player?
For Portland, a well-rounded role player like Nicolas Batum is the easy answer.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Nope, I mean that Nicolas Batum is the right answer.
I’d rather have Batum on Portland than Michael Beasley.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
That's a good frontline.
Nothing great and should get destroyed by Oden/LMA/Batum, but it’ll do well in the east.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''

Wow, 6' 10" 235

Yeah, what most of us do
Since these are “official” measurements, is always check Draft Express’ pre-draft measurements taken at the pre-draft camps.
Height, weight, everyone lies a LOT, so most of us double check what “they” say because it’s always wrong.
Some guys grow, like Oden has supposedly grown over an inch, and I am sure Lebron has grown. And some guys athletic times are better than at the pre-draft camp, like LMA did really bad but is more athletic than his times suggest, and Monta Ellis looked downright SLOW in his times… and he’s one of the fastest players.
But the height and weight and length measurements can be deemed accurate.
Fanfest Thoughts:
We were sitting right behind the Blazers bench so it was my first time observing how they “communicate” on the floor.
1. Don’t let Steve Blake’s numbers fool you, Andre Miller is in a league of his own as a point guard. Steve was fantastic and it looks like he has improved his shooting and left hand dribble. But Andre Miller is the kind of point guard we haven’t seen here in a LONG time. His vision, controlling the plays, awareness and how much he communicates with all the players is just insane for being part of the team for less than a month. He talked the most on defense and offense…The best part is when they do score or miss, he tells them what to do the next time they see that happening. One play that stuck out was that Oden had position on offense and Rudy reversed it to Andre instead of kicking it down low. Someone got their hands on the ball, and it was a turnover for a score. In the next inbounds, Andre said to Oden “get down there low again and I’ll give it to you myself.” Oden gets down low to the block, and Dre feeds him for a drop step.
On defense, a missed pick and roll rotation caused an easy Batum back door. Before the inbounds, Andre tells Martell he needs only “rotate a quarter way” then back to his man so it doesn’t allow Batum to cut.
In terms of taking it to the hoop and finishing, no question he’s the strongest player we got…I might dare say better than Roy in terms of when and how he takes it to the hole.
A few passes were off the mark but once he gets use to his team mates and they with him, it’s gonna be gold Jerry, gold!
Steve plays well within the offense so Nate trusts him. But I hardly hear him talk that much on the court or leading where guys should be…It’s night and day. The difference between Steve and Dre is that Steve will run the plays, but Dre knows better in the middle of the plays which options to exploit and when to adjust to score. He gets EVERYONE involved.
If they did a +/- on the game, I bet with Dre in, he was like a +10 for his team.
2. Jerryd Bayless is MUCH improved. Not just his shot, but he’s way more comfortable on the court. I think comfortable is the key word. He knows the plays, and was in the right situations on defense and offense. He’s also a big dude when compared to other players that close. He looks taller than Blake and way more intimidating. I think his arms look short cuz his upper body and legs are just ripped. But being that close, I was impressed at his size for a PG.
3. Greg Oden looks a lot better conditioned. He has that drop step down that is almost impossible to defend. I think Bayno taught him how to use his strength without just bulldozing people over. Pryz had a hard time guarding the drop step because that little separation is all GO needs that close to the rim. One thing I’m a little disappointed is that it doesn’t seem like he has his vertical leap back. In reality, it’s not even close to where he was before micro. I don’t think they work on his fast twitch muscle. His vert and ability to explode quickly was his main strength at Ohio State. (someone needs to get to their training staff and talk to them about this). His lateral movement is a lot better and like Rex, he’s just way more comfortable on offense/defense. Just knowing all the sets and plays makes a big difference for these guys. GO does talk A LOT more on defense, which is a good sign. He also called out a couple guys for not rotating so that’s good.
4. LMA. He’s gonna be an all-star.
5. BRoy. Better than last year. His 3pt stroke looks more fluid so I expect him to raise it about 3-4%
6. Batum. Starter for the next 10 years. Simply a baller on both ends. I don’t know how you can’t have Martell, Rudy, and Batum on the wings and not push the court with Andre. That kid exudes confidence and he seems like he wants to take it to the rim.
7. Martell. Looks like he’s our secret weapon off the bench. Dre will make Martell look awesome. He’s not completely back, but no one hustle as much as he does. His tenacity reminds me of Kersey.
8. Pryz must have been working out in the summer…Homeboy looks a lot more ripped. And he practiced shooting about 6 threes during warmups (missed them all). It was good seeing him be lighthearted out there.
9. Travis. Still loves the turnaround fadeaway. Seeing him up close, that kid is LONG…
10. Dante C. Man, this kid was impressive. I would say with his strength and athleticism, he will make Trout expendable. The only problem is that he’s really a SF and not a PF. He looks even shorter than Martell. He’s the reason I think Ime will lose out to J. Collins.
11. Juwuan Howard. He’ s old but crafty. I mean, he knows what to do, tell guys things they don’t see, but his body is too old to help out. He’s gonna help the team though.
12. Rudy. Looks tired. He needs to rest the full training camp.
It was good seeing these players up close…different perspective. easily most impressed by Dre and Batum.
btw Prez decided to hangout with his gf instead of going to Fanfest….smh

Yeah, these are great comments
Especially the bit about Miller communicating so much. That was one of the things I wanted out of him at this stage, yakking and pointing. I’m kind of surprised that he got such tepid reviews from people.
Very nice, thanks
As for Oden, yeah it already seemed last year they have worked a lot less on his explosiveness than say the Suns with Amare. I fear a bit it will be like with Kenyon Martin, that it will take a long time until he has that back. Lots of crunches, lots of stair sprints, maybe even putting weight on his back or on his ankles when jumping. But you can’t do that before you really really trust your legs, and that seems to be coming back now. He doesn’t favor a leg, he doesn’t wear much protection.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
i also notice he is still running flat footed…not sure what is optimal but i do remember he was more on his toes like LMA in college…as a track person, you might know more in terms of how someone should be running but it still looks odd to me…almost like GO is losing some because of the style he runs
Roy is worse than him from what I have seen
Even on still photos Greg has a better posture.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
He definitely ran flat footed last season
I see what you mean, but I think he runs a bit better now… more on the balls of his feet.
It’s prolly a mixture of compensating for the knee before and making him have a ‘new’ run, and now he’s getting back to normal but the old-new run lingers…
Follow-up
1. Andre and Oden need to be starting. They may not run the offense as smoothly as Blake and Prz, but there presence on the court was much stronger. Give them time and it’s golden.
2. Bayless needs some PT now. Too bad we can’t give it to him.
3. “He looks like a basketball player” -Ben. Yep.
4-8. Agreed. Except Batum looks ripped as well. He’s got some muscle on those arms now!
10. Dante is awesome. He could be a small 4…
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''

Yeah, that's what we need to do.
His still rough, but he’s got the game to figure the rest out on the court. I don’t know if practice is going to give him push he needs to develop anymore. He can keep refining his jumper, but it looked good yesterday.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
I was kidding...
Bayless looked good, but PG in the L is the hardest position to grasp… if he’s going to be a PG rather than an undersized 2, I think another season of seasoning and practice against to good PG’s in Miller and Blake will do him good… likely both won’t be back after this year, and then we can turn the second unit over to him for a year and then the first unit the year after that… there’s no rush to get him on the court, I don’t think he’s a significant upgrade over the two guys in front of him in any select area to warrant rushing him out there and making him learn on the fly

I hate to be a downer, but there's no way that Blake and Miller last all year without injury.
Bayless will get some time when one of those guys get hurt. The way Miller plays, it’s going to happen to him for sure. – Elgin
Without you out there, we're nowhere here
absolutely agree… but when their both playing, there’s no way I want Bayless stealing playing time from either of them

You would think Miller would be injury prone
with his physical style of pg play, but history just doesnt support it. He has missed 4 games in his 11 year career. FOUR! Thats some crazy ish…
I thought the quote last night was very… revealing. I couldn’t remember where I read it, but it was along the lines of “in that unit, I know I’ll get the ball.”
Then later, adding… “Steve does some nice things too.”
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
And it's 100% true
Steve does some nice things too, but Miller knows how to pass. Blake doesn’t do it like Miller, or know how to act like a true floor general to get everyone in the right place and position.
I think Miller would be great with the 2nd unit horses, but for the development of LMA and Oden, I want Miller with them.
Miller reminds me of Rod Strickland… I mean that in a good way, the pace of play, penetration and court vision were fun to watch

I think the explosiveness comes back next year. Remember Amare last fall? Everyone was talking about how he had his explosion back finally… it took him a full three summers to fully recover.
The best part of tonight was seeing that Andre, Juwan, and Rudy are all intent on giving Greg the basketball. They will not let him be ignored.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
the diff with Amare and GO was that the Sun's training staff explicitly said they worked on getting his vert and fast twitch muscles back...
i haven’t heard about that with GO
Sun’s staf works with Holy Water or something… what they can do down there for injured players is not natural

In AZ they have snowbirds
Who are old folks who drive down there in monstrous motorhomes setting up tempotrary residences from September until the first week of April when the temps hit 100 degrees. They do this because heat is great for old bones and muscles, or injured bones and muscles. As a disabled person I am intimately aware of this fact.
So it stands to reason that the medical staff in Phoenix isn’t anything special or miraculous, it’s simply that it’s so hot there during the winter and spring when basketball is played (as opposed to back east or up here) that the players heal MUCH faster. Their muscles won’t tighten up overnight because it never gets below 70 degrees.
These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others. -Groucho Marx
This would be my grandparents, who really should not be allowed to drive down there anymore.

You must never have been to Arizona
Its healing powers as a state are the stuff of legend.
I once played basketball at 4 PM with my buddies in Yuma, AZ. The temperature? 116 degrees. We kept gallon jugs of water on the court to avoid prompt death by heatstroke.
It really gets the blood flowing!

we shall see next summer. I’d love to see Greg work out with Tim Grover, as Juwan does… maybe he can mix in a recommendation.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
yeah…i’m patient…he’s only 21 and finally did some squats but that vert he had made him as a defensive player, swatting everything close to him and around the weakside too
That's a good reminder
Not being able to do squats till recently… like Cab says, hopefully it is fully back next year.
Like, last year, SOMETIME he could still get his head at the rim, and then other times he was very flat with his jumps. It was erratic. Micro recovery is a multi-year process, but I think we’ll see more explosiveness this year and then as he can do the leg work outs to get the legs strong again, hopefully it’ll be somewhat back.
Sometimes he has it, sometimes he don’t. At least in the past.
Like IMG (who list Oden as a client in their performance program), Grover takes about anyone who pays and puts in the effort
At NBA level, every player is qualified for their programs
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Oh, I didn’t mean Juwan getting Greg accepted…. I mean Juwan getting the Blazer training staff and Greg on board with it.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
That can be an issue. T-Mac didn’t want to leave behind his old athletic trainer and it took some convincing by teammates to work with Grover. Apparently it worked pretty well, since he is now back in camp albeit not close to playing again. Still remarkable after microfracture in the spring.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
I am very tempted to attempt to compute +/-'s
I think Rudy’s +/- would be close to ’Dre’s if not better. The best thing about the white team was that it always felt to me like they had a PG on the court. After Blake, there was no PG on the black.

Any reviews of the game today?
There’s a lot of players who aren’t really up to NBA level in these games normally. So I’m curious, were these fouls actually correct?
I presume the answer is ‘no’, but it seems useful to be aware of.
I’m conflicted.
I feel very positive about the direction this team is heading… but I look at other team blogs and see enthusiastic Wolves fans who insist Kevin Love is going to be an incredible, unstoppable force, Clipper fans who see Baron/Griffin as the modern day Stockton/Malone, and Thunder fans who think that they have the next Big 3.
Are we just caught up in preseason hype, or is it more real because of our win total last year?
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
The win total makes it *more* real but still a long way from real
There is still no better than a 50% chance this team ever wins a title, IMO.
I'd certainly take a 45 percent chance
I’m thinking that, this year, we have a 10 percent chance. – Elgin

Our depth is real
I fear our “top 5” is not as clear and as top as people think yet. E.g. as also a fan of the Mavs, I can say I prefer to have Dirk, Shawn Marion and Josh Howard this season as opposed to anything the Blazers can throw out 2-4 on the perimeter apart from Roy. Would I prefer Batum long term? Sure, but not so fast.

We got a helluva lot more going for us
Our age, our owner, our proven success from last season… they’re all hoping for pixie dust to be sprinkled on their team and change it to non-sucky overnight. They’ve done nuthin’ yet to suggest they are on their way UP, let alone on the way to being GOOD.
We’ve had positive trends every year and it culminated with a 54 win season, which isnt’t really a culmination since it’s just the start.
Every fan feels hopeful and a lot of them got good reason to, but we got lots mo’ reasons.
We could be the next iteration of the Bulls or Suns
Close but never over the top
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Well we're past how far the Bulls ever got
(since MJ, of course), and being like the Kings or Suns is a risk… good to great teams, but never won a title.
Both of those teams were softies, and we’ve run the risk of being soft as well in the long run. Oden is decidedly not a soft player, and both of those teams didn’t have a two-way post presence, which I think is a big part of it.
It is certainly something that could happen, but we got a long way to go with this team, and lotsa chances to win it all.

As a Beaver, I must say that the moment he tried to play against ASU was one of the grossest things I’ve seen. That kid had NO business being on the field in his condition. Very sad to see a young guy hitting his stride end his career that way.
It was sad… but he wanted to play so bad, you’ve got to let him try

I dunno, it puts him at such a risk that you need to step in and tell the kid he’s unfit. He looked so bad. The minute he tried to cut there was just nothing there in that knee…
he couldn’t hurt it any worse… it’s not like he could of torn it a second time… if he wants to go, and he’s a senior, so it’s his last chance, how can you say no

And that’s where we’ll have to simply disagree there.
I think it does nothing but endanger the kid.
What-you honestly think they thought that maybe just maybe he’d play four quarters on a torn up knee?! How many dual threat QBs do that? Running was such a big part of what he did. No way he does that one legged.
I believe they told Dennis the consequences
it was his choice. If the kid wants to play, let him play.

The only thing worse would probably be getting blown out in your last regular season game at home when you had a chance to go to the Rose Bowl.
Having it happen against your rival would probably be the only thing worse.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
Yeah, I had my Duck friends give me tips on how to deal with a loss like that after they did it in 2000.
I wasn't aware 23-13 was a blowout.
Good news, btw! The Beavers only need to win the next 10 civil wars in a row to get to .500 against the Ducks!

I started watching the team back in 1991. I was 11 years old and just started getting into football. That was around the time the Ducks started to be not so awful anymore. So I guess I can’t say I went through the lean, lean times. But things certainly are much better now than they were then. For both schools, really!

I'd tell you the same thing Duck fans heard after Dixon went down.
You play with the guys you have that day. Is it always fair? Of course not.
Besides, OSU’s quarterbacks are pretty much interchangeable at this point, aren’t they? They just go with whichever one isn’t hurt that day.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
huh? The argument I replied to was that Oregon State barely beat an injured Oregon team. My rebuttal is that both teams were injured.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
Fair enough. Both teams weren't all that healthy.
However, if all parties were healthy for that game, OSU would’ve been beaten pretty soundly. That was just a different Duck team without Dixon.
Yes! Yes! In the face!

which is why last year’s civil war hurt so much. Jacquizz was that team.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
Jacquizz being out hurt an awful lot.
This is where I’m supposed to say “2OT Loss at home >>> getting blown out at home.”

to be fair
it wasn’t a true “blowout”. it was basically a 2 score game until the waning moments of the 4th quarter
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a woman healthy, wealthy, and wise. That's why you all are wiser than me. It's cloudydays."
It was never really close, but it wasn't a waxing like the UO-WSU game last weekend.
Seriously, if I was a Beavers fan, I’d be more embarrassed about the Sun Bowl. I mean, sure you won, but could you even watch it?
Yes! Yes! In the face!
i watched every damn second of it
there is nothing to be embarrassed about IMO….
both Jacquizz and James were out, which is comparable to when Dixon went out (see: UCLA game that year…). plus we still managed to beat a team with a legit NFL back (McCoy). a fantastic effort by the defense
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a woman healthy, wealthy, and wise. That's why you all are wiser than me. It's cloudydays."
I tried to watch it. Really, I did.
But it was two one-dimensional offenses just doing nothing. It wasn’t like either defense was making spectacular plays or anything. I was like watching an old Big 10 game. 2 yards and a cloud of dust.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
not to mention James got hurt early in the game
that’s like 75 percent of the offense…
"Early to bed, early to rise, makes a woman healthy, wealthy, and wise. That's why you all are wiser than me. It's cloudydays."
coming off of that emotional win, tired after five or six weeks of must-win games, and seeing your offense run Ryan McCants into the middle of the line for a yard each play……..
blech.
I forgive our defense.
Horrible effort, but it’s understandable in retrospect.

If this was last year, then yes.
I think Bellotti was much more open about the severity of his player’s injuries. For whatever reason, Chip Kelly seems a lot more guarded about that kind of information. Any injury of any severity is listed as “day to day”. Not to mention that Masoli even said after the game that if he needed to come back in that he could have.
I’ll only be worried if he’s still limping around on Saturday. Until then, I’m not overly worried.

Anything they can do to avoid burning Thomas' redshirt must be done.
Crenshaw at QB? That’s better than Thomas playing. Crenshaw can do the wildcat and hand off to James over and over again.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
or they could just play hawkins at qb
he’s a feshman will great measurables(6’4" and a good runner) he might not be much of a passer but he could probably run like what they did with harper last year were he just runs and the only passes he makes are screens and other short passes
That's certainly a possibility, though I know they'd prefer he not burn his RS either.
He wasn’t even in uniform against the Cougs. I’m not sure if that’s cause they didn’t think they’d need him or they don’t think he’s ready. Either way, I’m just glad Costa is there as an insurance policy.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
ya its a far fetched option
but if the goal is to avoid buring thomas’s redshirt then it could happen. also hawkins will have more years to redshirt seeing as how the qb position is locked up for the next few seasons(masoli, masoli, thomas and thomas is he is redshirt)
I don't find UCLA so worrying. UW will be tough though.
UCLA has a good defense, but they may be without Rahim Moore. That would put a serious dent in their pass coverage. Not to mention their running back can’t do anything and they have no passing game to speak of. Craft is only marginally worse than Prince.
UW is a whole different animal. That offense can get points on the board. I dare say it may be the best offense the Ducks have seen all season. Yes, better than Boise State, Cal or Utah. The Purdue game was a kinda flukey game one week after the BSU debacle. I doubt it would go that way now. Locker is a freak and they aren’t too shabby picking up rushing yardage either. Their main problem, of course, is they have trouble stopping anybody outside of USC. That USC game shows what they can do when properly motivated. Not to mention, this is the game right before USC for Oregon, so that factor is present as well. Thank goodness for the bye week. Oregon’s usually pretty good after those, but UW will still definitely not be a pushover.
Yes! Yes! In the face!
@Stanford will be no gimme for the Ducks
I am declaring Toby Gerhart the best RB in the pac-10, with apologies to Best, McKnight, Rodgers, James, Grigsby and the rest. Dude is a stud.

i kind of just wanted to watch the game but i ended up learning a bunch of cheers with zach words in them and inhaled smoke bombs and expensive beer and chicken strips. it was quite fun, but it seems like you can barely watch the game amongst the craziness, it would be awesome if they had some blazer games at pge park though, didn’t the suns have an outdoor game or two last year?

I need a douchebag hat
I’m growing my hair out like a straight up samurai, but I’m in that awkward hair phase where I just have a puffy haole fro. What kind of hat should I wear? I’m anit-ballcap not worn like a ballcap so that’s out. Urban Dictionary tells me I should buy a hat from Le Chateau.

That is pretty cool how the skull is glowing. I wouldn’t wear that, but it is cool, none the less.
I was trying to find an example of a straw state fair hat, I couldn’t, but the closest has to be Richard Petty.

I’m not looking for a hat that says, “Hey look at me!” I just want a hat that people look at and instantly think that, I’m trying too hard or I’m a douchebag.

Hollinger's stuff is great
example: he’s got the Bayless issue nailed:
The combo guard had a rough rookie year, but the problem wasn’t the oft-heard mantra that Bayless is a shooting guard trapped in a point guard’s body. There are lots of players like that in the league and many of them are thriving. No, Bayless’ issue was that he was a shooting guard who couldn’t shoot trapped in a point guard’s body. That’s a problem.
The fact that he isn’t a true PG is not the issue whatsoever. Its that he was foul-happy and lost on D and couldn’t hit the ocean on O. Fix those issues and he’ll push for pt, regardless of the fact that he a scorer first, 2nd and 3rd.
Likely. A guy like Monta Ellis or Kevin Martin (that would rather be Rudy) would definitely see some playing time on the Blazers.
"I think he can still play" - Kevin Pritchard on Juwan Howard
Rudy needs to work on his mid-range J
More Hollinger
Fernandez made only 29.2 percent of his 2s that weren’t at the basket, which was tied for the second-worst mark in the league for a player with at least 100 attempts.
Every time he shoots a 2 point jumper I wince
and I love him irrationally, so imagine what the regular fan feels…
he did have a nice looking
pull up mid range jumper in the fanfest scrimmage yesterday. maybe he’s worked on that and it’s another weapon now.
For some reason it's not something that I'd noticed before the Blazers
but it’s often flat-looking… maybe it’s because he rarely does it for the Blazers so he hurries it more than he would a 3 pointer and is more anxious to make it to prove that he can?
he will be one of the most interesting Blazers to follow this year
both how he improves his dribbling and mid-range shooting, and how the Blazers choose to use him.
Batum, Webster and Oden (and Bayless also, if he ever sees the court) will also be really interesting to watch. Everyone else we have a pretty good idea of what they’ll do on the court.
Yeah this year could be a very interesting year for him
I’m also looking forward to Oden’s progress. For some reason Martell leaves me cold, probably because I’ve hardly ever seen him play :)
Martell's interesting just because its hard to know what to expect from a young player who misses a whole year
Will he continue his (relatively slow) upward trend, will he have a breakout year, or will he never get back to the level he was at pre-injury?
Here's an interesting tidbit about Martell Webster
but it has nothing to do with basketball. His mother is thought to be a victim of the Green River Killer. She disappeared when he was 4.

I remembered that Webster lost his mother at a young age and was raised by a great aunt I believe
I’d forgotten/never knew his mom was thought to be a Green River Killer victim. Very very sad.
Wow sad. I should not have googled him though...
Why are serial killers nearly always american? Or do europeans just rarely catch them?
Crazy, I’d swear every movie about Europe in America talks about how every American who goes there will be kidnapped and tortured.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
This is the same reason why there are so many serial killers in America. Imagine a whole country of us! I’m surprised that I haven’t killed anyone that I didn’t have to kill.
Given the number of serial killers and mass murderers in America, I wonder what the odds are that one of us American BEdgers are a serial killer. I should have included a “Most Likely to Be A Serial Killer” to the list.

There at least three things working against the US
1) Size: We are not the biggest country, but definitely bigger than a lot of the smaller ones (DUH!). The list might look different if you lumped Europe into one list. The UK’s list is pretty dang long
2) Hollywood: We apparently like to publicize our killers, and we have Hollywood to do it for us, so I think perception might be skewed because of this.
3) Free Press: The gov’ment doesn’t exactly control the press, so bad news stories get out easier.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
I realise that only very few of you american bedgers are serial killers (DUH)

sorry if the Catalan correction was a little much… but the region is called Cataluña!!! (hahaha, I did it again, I am so pedantic!!)
HAH I love it
I actually was going to say Mallorca but felt I could slide out into broadly placing the island into the region without really knowing anything about the region.
So, Ms. Pedantic (I think I just thought of a great FBBALL team name for you), what is the easiest way to type things like ñ ? Do you have to memorize the extended ASCii codeset or do you all have wicked cool keyboards designed to make those easier to type? Unless I copy and paste them, I don’t tend to use them.
"...the primary focus of all obstacles is to induce labor, so progression can be born." - LiL C
Yeah Mallorca is an island and it's a different region than Cataluña
so if you were to name him by his region you’d say that he’s “Balear”.
I really want to join BRP’s fantasy BBall league, but I don’t know how it functions!! HOw does this fantasy business work???
In my super duper cool keyboard the ñ is right of the L and I type it with my pinkie, so no codeset, just regular typing skills. I also have a Ç left so I can type full on french from here too!
i sent you a invitation...
but it looks like we got 20, so i’m gonna send you another one to be my co-manager!!!
your job is pretty simple: Talk a lot of crap, and keep feeding me that mean paella you make!
Awesome!!
Co-manager… what an honour! that way I’ll learn how it works before joining one and making a fool of myself :)
While you are fighting the Ruskie for worse in division, I’ll be rolling sweet into the playoffs.
See, I already have the inside information on the break out sleeper of the draft. And when our 8th pick is beating your 1st pick, I’m sure having that paella while you are crying will feel very comforting.
