Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

OSU vs. UA Second Half Open Thread

Img_7879_tiny by Jake Bertalotto on in Football Comment 365 comments

A brief history lesson: On November 8, 2008, the Oregon State Beavers found themselves tied with the UCLA Bruins 3-3 at halftime, in the Rose Bowl. During the first half of play, Building the Dam experienced a high number of comments (350) in the open thread. Noticing the influx of comments and hoping to avoid open-thread lag, Jake opened up a second half open thread. The Beavers went on to outscore the Bruins 31-3 in the second half, beating UCLA 34-6.

Let's repeat history, fellas. 

No Quizz. No Lyle. (Remember, Lyle didn't play against UCLA...)

We can still do this.

McCants sure is an eager beaver there.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Alright time's up lez do this...

Oh snap!

great minds think alike, maybe Riley’s on board too!

by Mallardvalue on Nov 22, 2008 5:28 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Or some Oregon Flea

Flysweep to Rodgers, reverse to Sammie, reverse back to Canfield, hits Rodgers streaking down sideline for 6.

Alright time's up lez do this...

Heres to good luck...

James on the sweep all day long…..I am curious to see what Francis is all about.

Siegart got married?

You think she knows about that one night?

by AnotherBeaverFirstDown on Nov 22, 2008 5:28 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

there were 4 people in the pickup that night...

Ben & his girlfriend, a buddy and his girl.

They were stealing the sheep to let it loose inside of someone’s house. Only, it didn’t end that way.

Same here

That FG helped immensely

Banker is a second half genius.

I just think someone will step up and win this game.

by Cablinasian on Nov 22, 2008 5:32 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No doubt.

if that FG had sailed wide, I would be much more worried. I think we still have enough weapons to beat Arizona. How many Pac-10 teams can sport such quality backups at the highest skill positions? Canfield and McCants are nice luxuries.

by Mallardvalue on Nov 22, 2008 5:34 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I posted the wrong boxscore, by the way.

Now ESPN is having a cow.

Forget that experiment

Anyone read Canzano’s article about the other younger brother?

by Jake Bertalotto on Nov 22, 2008 5:46 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Michael.

Yeah, Riley is prolly recruiting him through Quizz and Quan already.

by Cablinasian on Nov 22, 2008 5:46 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

More fly sweep!

They can’t stop it!

--JB--

by Jake Bertalotto on Nov 22, 2008 5:45 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah.

I think his rest is purely precautionary. We see him in the Civil War for sure. I bet if the running game tonight stalls out, we see him back in, but with McCants doing his best Brandon Jacobs impression, things are looking good without Jacquizz.

by Mallardvalue on Nov 22, 2008 5:47 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Ok.

Big drive here. Look for Sammie on the return…

by Cablinasian on Nov 22, 2008 5:50 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Come on offense, let’s keep our D off the field.

by wakka on Nov 22, 2008 5:51 PM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

McCants stuffed, but still gets two.

I don’t think he was getting those two yards in the first half. That’s what we need.

What's up with the announcers?

Earlier they said Stroughter was dangerous as a kick returner, (when AZ was receiving), now he just said “7 minutes left in the game.”

by sandiegobeav on Nov 22, 2008 5:57 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

most likely

Hockey announcers…or they cover the other side of the states and not Pac 10 games. Either that or they are drunk. I put my money on the latter…

Oh jeeze

What the heck was that play call. If you’re gonna do that just punt it away.

by wakka on Nov 22, 2008 6:18 PM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Worst part is not giving them good field position, it’s the momentum change from a huge stop for them.

Gah, I am throwing up my hands.
