Beavers 42, Cougars 10: Beavers Take Care of Business (Again)

by Jake Bertalotto on Nov 22, 2009 11:28 AM PST in Football Comment 17 comments

Let's face it, it was a game we all knew Oregon State was going to win-- we (or maybe it was only me) just didn't want to say it before this game.

Also, it is my understanding that unless some of you made the trip to Pullman, none of us were able to watch the game.

In other words, let's get this recap over with quickly so we can move on.

Goal number one was to win. The Beavers did that.

Goal number two was to stay healthy. For the most part, the Beavers did that. I'm not sure what the status of Brennan Olander is, but I think he was the only player who came out of the game nursing an injury. If I'm wrong on that, please correct me.

Since I wasn't able to listen to the game in it's entirety on the radio, I'm hesitant to make any assertions at the moment other than to say that the Beavers did what they needed to do. Everything has happened the way we needed it to, so let's look at some stats and call it good:

Selling your Beaver defense short there Jake! You guys only gave up 10 points!

Hey, I thought we were having an argument about the questionable “power” ranking status of the OSU D? Now you going the opposite way? Just kidding.

Actually, the defense seemed to play pretty well, but I thought but should have been 3 points only, what the hell was the penalty total on that one WSU TD drive? 50 Yards or something, man that was sloppy mental play, but not surprised in this type of game I guess. Onwards!

Okay, not talking to you for a couple weeks, good luck!

Don’t you know Civil War week starts now? I have to get in the most nitpicky, ridiculous, pointed jabs where I can before all I start reading are holes, swooshbags, toilet seat U, Nike U, *ucks, pellet guns in the park, blount falcon punch, Masoli is a criminal jabs!

What better way to pick on Jake for an “obvious slight” of his own team’s defensive abilities! ;)

Oh, I got it, don’t worry :)

“Masoli is a criminal jabs” = That’s one I’m unfamiliar with. Sigh, have to admit the idea of a possible Rose Bowl is awesome (vindicates my optimism about this team before and early in the season) but 12 days of this rivalry stuff is not my cup of tea. I guess there are plenty of others out there to take up for my slacking the next week and a half.

I can only do about a week of rivalry. I’ve decided that I’ll be singing the praises of the Beavers through Thanksgiving day. You guys are a great team, and you deserve to be playing for the Rose Bowl.

After Thanksgiving, the hate starts, but until then, I’m just going to be happy that the PAC-10 Rose Bowl representative will hail from the state of Oregon.

I’m trying to go there, I’m trying…I like the “You guys are a great team, and you deserve to be playing for the Rose Bowl” though!

On a serious note though like I mentioned elsewhere I just wish that, if we lose in a close hard fought game, that the secondary bowl option was more deserving of a team like you said is deserving of playing the Rose.

On not such a serious note, I like your holiday/seasonal perspective to it all, will you forgive us at Christmas after we win? :)

Obviously, Oregon State deserves to win

it’s only fair for everyone involved, as Oregon will go play in the Holiday Bowl and Oregon State will play in the Rose Bowl

Here’s the story on Masoli’s past that most people cite when calling him a criminal -

Jake

Didn’t we win 42-10? I’m pretty sure they didn’t score 20

I think he's on break already!

Very much hasn’t been reading this tread, for that was the first comment here, and yes they didn’t even come close to scoring 20!

Wow... that's embarrassing... not sure how that happened

Not sure if I hit the two instead of the one on the keyboard or just flat out blanked.

Cal fan - good luck next week

Just want to wish you guys the best in the Civil War next week. I was at the Beavers’ game at Berkeley this year and I know the Beavers can play-up when they need to. Looks like the Beavers will get points on TE passes and running game, though I don’t know about the deep ball against Oregon. It could be a very good game for OSU if the OSU ends can get pressure on Masoli off the edges. Here’s to it.

Thanks for the support. These next few days are going to be some of the craziest in the history of Oregon sports. I really hope it lives up to the hype.

Looks like ESPN knew what they were doing moving the game to a Thursday

Subject switch

Joe A. hates to rudely step in to Ducks and Beavs completing each other, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but wonders if anyone else listened to the entire radio telecast on AM 1380 and heard the Coug homer color guy going off on the Beavs in the last ten minutes of the game because Katz was still (gasp!) throwing passes yet not a peep on the subject came from the Coug coaching staff or players.
