You want to know what sucks? If you answered CBS' The Big Bang Theory (awful show-what a waste of hot chicks), you are technically right, but I'm talking what sucks in regards to the last 24 hours of Beaver athletics.

I liked it better when that one dude was on Roseanne and the other two dudes were doing whatever they were doing before this awful, awful show was on TV. Is that a USC Cowboy outfit?

Here's what sucks: OSU loses to Illinois-Chicago and Robo ~~Cop~~ Kreps (who, by the way, tied his career high point total with 19--awesome name, awesome on court production--including the game winner). Unbelievable. I think ConnorOSU most accurately summarized my feelings during his post game F-bomb laced tirade. This team has a short amount of time to get its collective crap together. Here's a local, Chicago take on the game.

And much like their basketball counterparts, OSU football players were also engaged in charitable activities this week. In all seriousness, this is just what you want to see kids representing your program doing all year long. Go Beavs!

So here's some good news: Soph. righty Sam Gaviglio is named to a preseason All America team. This hoops team almost has me looking on to baseball season early but I'm trying to remain patient.

Buker goes over bowl swag. Sigh... Illinois-Chicago?! Really?!
The GT discusses the QB duel in this year's Vegas Bowl. Here's to a strong finish for Sean Canfield and a fast introduction to Stephen Paea and Keaton Kristick for Max Hall.
Cliff Kirkpatrick goes over the TE position at BYU and OSU. Did I mention how much awesome Joe Halahuni is? Great picture of Halahuni hurlding a Cal defender in the blog write up, do check it.
Some notes on practice, injuries and assorted bowl info from Buker. Seriously though-The Flames?!
Once you're done ordering the first season of The Big Bang Theory on NetFlix and wipe away the tears and puke from your face from the UIC game, check out this cool article on Jay Locey's role down at OSU. A very cool look into Locey's personality and what he brings to the program.
As mentioned yesterday, former OSU Coach/new PSU Head Coach Nigel Burton has hired former Beaver DE and Morris Award winner and All PAC 10 selection Inoke Breckterfield.

Add what I missed in the comments below and pray that this hoops team figures it out before PAC 10 play. GO BEAVERS!

Poll

Panic or Not to Panic: How many wins for OSU's basketball team? (Keep in mind that there are 21 games left in the regular season and that the team is currently 4-5 overall.)

20 (or more): Coach Robinson will get them back on track and the addition of Roberto Nelson in January will give this team a boost.

6 votes

Somewhere in the teens: This team will continue to struggle at times but the league is down and the Beavs will benefit from this.

44 votes

10 to 12?: We'll beat the bottom feeders, but we'll end up losing one or two to them as well. Building year, right?!

20 votes

A hoops season of Coug Football-like proportions! Can we even win a PAC 10 game? Not again! Not again! Nooooooooooooooooo!

Basketball started? I'm still in football mode. BEAT BYU!

AHHH! Cross purposes with our polls!

Actually I think technically the team is 4 and 5 this year. I think you are counting the pre-season games.

You're right. I counted preseason. Will fix.

Huh

I actually really like Big Bang Theory, it’s very popular among my friends. I’d think a Duck might not be smart enough for it, but not a Beaver blogger.

..might not be smart enough for it…

Is this what you’re telling yourself?

Maybe we shouldn’t argue. Maybe we should just talk about how good this show is next fall, when it’s no longer on TV.

I’m 28 and hate it when prime time TV tries to act smart. This is like Frasier for people who aren’t old enough to remember Cheers and no, that’s not a good thing.

We gotta get you some cable TV, kirbyk. There’s a whole new world out there, just waiting to make you laugh!

Meant to say, “I’m 28, maybe that has something to do with it?”

I don't care if the show is good or not

That front page still from it pisses me off every time I look at it, so I guess Arby’s job is done with me for I’ll never watch that show from now on (like I tuned in all the time anyway).

It doesn’t get that much better, trust me. They’ve officially lost the RVM-demographic!

Is it just me...?

Or is there a paucity of reading material today? Everybody en route to Vegas, maybe?

I just got to my desk for the first time all day and now about to leave. I started putting a post together but I just don’t have the time. There’s actually a lot out there today. You goin’ to Vegas?
