GameThread: Oregon State vs. Washington
Washington Huskies at Oregon St. Beavers, Nov 14, 2009 12:30 PM PST
Oregon State (6-3, 4-2) vs. Washington (3-6, 2-4) - 12:30pm, Reser Stadium - TV on FSN
Things got ugly the last time the Huskies came to town. Really ugly.
There were ejections. There was an ambulance. There was a egregious non-review. There were quarterbacks laying out defensive linemen. And all this was preceded by a full day of tailgating, that had the Reser crowd... rowdy. But the Beavers came out with the win.
That game drew the third largest crowd ever to Reser Stadium. It remains to be seen whether today's game will surpass the 45,626 that saw the Beavers beat the Huskies in 2007-- but it could come close. Last I heard, 500 tickets remain for the game.
Many Beaver fans are expecting the Oregon State offense to simply overwhelm Nick Holt's Husky Defense. They have the seventh best overall defense in the Pac-10, and haven't had much luck stopping anyone as of late-- and Jacquizz Rodgers is anxious to find some running room after he was bottled up last week. And you can bet that the OSU defense is ready to stop Jake Locker and the UW offense. We'll see what happens.
Once again, hats off to the twelve seniors, whose numbers are gracing the BtD tagline above: Moevao, Henderson, Canfield, Clark, Kristick, Terry, Peat, Adeniji, Kavanaugh, Croom, Moala, and Nau.
For newcomers-- this thread will probably be fairly light throughout the game, as many of the BtD regulars will be inside Reser. Don't hesitate to speak up! We have a lot of readers from far reaches of Beaver Nation who may be online during the game.
It's Dad's Weekend. It's Senior Day. Be Loud. Be Proud.
GO BEAVERS!

Seniors and Bowls
It now looks like the Beavers will go to their fourth bowl game in a row. Has any other Beaver class been to bowl games every year? Certainly, not too many classes can say that.
On the flip side, this set of Huskie seniors …. well not too much.

Al Aflava hit
on Jake Locker. He was knocked out and taken out by ambulance. I think it was a concussion and he came back to the sidelines in street clothes later in the game. It was pretty scary at the time.

quiz
Quizz has a left hip injury, say OSU officials, and could return in the second half.

Yep
Told ya :), this OSU team is a different (and much better) team than we saw in the 2007 match-up with UW.
Anyone else getting a bit excited about this season?

Great game for the Beavers
We are playing some great Football right now. Just take care of things in Pullman next week and then it’s time to get pumped for the Civil War!
Great atmosphere at Reser today. Kind of depressing that we don’t have another home game though. I was thinking how it seems like two or three weeks will take forever to get to the next home game after the last one. Now we’ve got to wait nine months!

What a game today
top to bottom the team stepped up, interesting to see what they rank following this crazy weekend!
Go Beav’s!
"I just looked across the huddle to see the guys in the huddle with me: great offensive line, great talent at wide receiver, great tight ends, great running backs. If we execute and play the way that we should, it should be tough to stop us."
