PrintHey all, here is the Pac10 Roundtable for this week... Thanks to all the blog sites for making this happen. Let's get it started!!
1. Do you think Cal and Stanford fans would still have voted for Barack Obama, if this was what he meant by "change"?
Not sure why they would have voted for him anyways.. I mean, after all, would you want to hire Paul Wullf a football coach who only had a few years of coaching high school? But I guess that's what we Conservatives get for having an old man running. But I digress. In all honesty, it's good for the conference that Oregon State is getting this much publicity and not sucking balls. Could you imagine the outpouring of "Pac10 SUCKS!" if OSU was the most publicized team in the conference, and we went winless, again? Especially now that UCLA isn't dominating like they have in years past. Trust me, you want the Beavs to get good again. And Coach Robinson is the change that we can all believe in.
2. Recruiting is heating up. How is your team's recruiting class looking?
In terms of football, it is looking awesome. We don't get the 4 and 5 star guys like some of the other, "bigger" programs in the conference, but as everybody knows, that's not what we need. So we filled some big holes on the OLine and at defensive back. Our Defensive line is looking thin, so hopefully we will be able to get on that before signing day. Getting Markus Wheaton was pretty cool. Anytime you can take a prized recruit who happens to be a relative of one of the most famous players for your rival, it's special. MARKUS WHEATONS GONNA SCORE! MARKUS WHEATONS GONNA SCORE!
3. Woah, UCLA loses another game. What's up with that?

That analogy was weak. I like this comparison: would you hire McSame McCain’s brother, if he exists/whoever he is, to coach OSU basketball?
Also, I’ve heard murmurs that the Ducks are still pursuing Markus Wheaton, so let’s hope he sticks to his commitment and isn’t just using OSU as leverage. I watched some video, he’s a nice get for sure.
-Oh, and The Right lost the last election with its 8 year track record, not by sticking ol’ liver spots out front as its candidate. As a left-leaning independent, I’m curious to see how people will treat Obama when the rock-star thing wears off and he is just plain old President Obama, making unpopular decisions and pissing people off (which every president inevitably does).- Sorry, remembered this isn’t a place for politics but rather a place to talk sports.
I'm not sure thats gonna happen...
Have you been do a magazine stand recently? At least half of the magazines have Obama or his wife’s picture on the cover. It’s ridiculous. I’m starting to think he will never get criticized for anything because of the blinders everyone still has on from the media. You can’t turn on the TV without hearing how great he is. I mean just look at the bailout plan that was just passed though the original one by the Repub’s was trashed by the Dems… hmmm doesn’t seem fair…
He’s still the new guy and after the past eight years, someone with youth, charisma and new ideas feels good. The media reflects that overall feeling. I know I’m happy to have him there but I don’t know that he’s made out of teflon or anything. I think he has a lot of tough decisions to make and he’s going to catch hell for it. He will most definitely get a pass on a lot of things though because he’s going to be busy unraveling Bush’s messes for some time now, and that’s not a slight at my Republi-beavs out there. If you didn’t already know that the last 8 were a blunder, well, you probably didn’t know that the Beavers won back to back championships in baseball either.
Anyway, people will demand a lot of him and criticize him, I can promise you that. Most of the nation is still in a honeymoon phase and rightly so.
Sorry, remembered this isn’t a place for politics but rather a place to talk sports.
True, but I agree and also interesting questions to think about.
-RVM
No, he's just a very close personal friend.
I heard he grew up next door to the Christ family. He used to hoop with Jesus back in the day… or so I hear…
Even though I lost the train of thought
of how we got to Tebow, if he is the possible second coming or at least a good family friend of the big man can I at least get those CJ Giles tiles from you for Tebow’s birthday?
-RVM
He can have one tile, just one.
The other one’s for me, I’m redoing my kitchen floor and this’d fit nicely as a centerpiece.
Standings after Half the Season
If the Beavers, Arizona and Stanford win on Saturday, they would all be 4-5 in conference play. And only ahead of the Ducks.
If in addition, ASU beats Washington, then the Beavers would only be 2 games out of first place. First place would be 6-3.
Of course, this all calls for Stanford to win at UCLA. Not likely.
