Weekend Recovery Links

God I wish I had this week off. Why don't I think ahead and schedule vacation days? Here's what I could find for today...
- Sean Canfield spoke with the Sporting News. It's a short Q & A style interview but still worth a look.
- ESPN predicts the Las Vegas bowl. I don't want to give anything away, but most BtD readers will like the prediction. Hint-hint. Nudge-nudge. Still can't believe I get to watch that game tomorrow. I guess there are some things to smile about today.
- Cliff K. covers the final practice of the year. Sounds like it was a good showing and, more importantly, injury free.
So. Let's forget that Sun Bowl, OK?
- In case you haven't noticed, both BYU and Oregon State recruit heavily in the Polynesian community, creating competition off the field on the recruiting trail.
- Sean Mannion might just be the next big thing at quarterback for the Beavers. The early commit put up huge numbers this year and seems to be a great fit for OSU's pro-style offense.
Future Beaver Sean Mannion
- Ryan Katz wants Canfield's job and sees the TCU game as a great opportunity. I'm personally pulling for Katz next year, which of course means Peter Lalich will end up starting.
- John Canzano gets a lot of crap in this market for his coverage of the Ducks (too critical), his coverage of the Blazers (too harsh and inflammatory) and the Beavers (too little). His column on the incarcerated James Rodgers Sr. was a great read and a reason to not only get off Canzano's back but to respect the efforts of Jacquizz, James and all of their family who helped get them to where they are today. This story is common, but the outcome is not. Proud to have the Rodgers brothers on campus in Corvallis.
As always, add new links in the comment section and GO BEAVERS!

Football tomorrow and then going to the basketball game on Wednesday, not a bad way to go into the Christmas weekend. I’m excited!

Oh, and I voted for ND, by far the best opponent for us! The Missouri game was indeed the best actual game for that ending and how well each team was playing, but nothing like smacking around the Irish!
Speaking of that Sun Bowl, anyone see Moore playing last night for Carolina, I saw some of it and he was playing great. Outplayed Favre and threw for 299 yards and three TDs, pretty fun even if one of those TDs was to the UO’s alum Stewart (who by the way totally outplayed his counter part Peterson).

nope
in Cali…
Would be headed to Pasadena in about a week, but…………

I'm stuck in Portland.
Not really a Vegas guy. Would’ve attended almost any of the Cali based bowls… this should be a good game though. BYU is a great opponent.
Stuck at home working
all week too, and will have to cover the game via broadcast.
Jake needs to do something about our budget for covering road games! Even the new longer zoom I’ve got coming won’t get a sharp image from two states away!

Go Beavs!
I too am getting psyched. A little bored today though...
I’ve been posting with some CBG guys who also enjoy Garfield Minus Garfield strips.
Ah, okay.
I thought there was something wrong with that strip! Seemed like the most random Garfield ever!
The Canzano article
Was a great read. I knew his father had problems, but I didn’t know he got a 25 year sentence. Anyway, it kinda struck me that James and Quizz don’t write back to him each month. I mean, I’ve never been in prison or had a family member there, but I’d think that you would try to keep in touch with them as much as possible.
Vegas Baby!
Yeah, that struck me as well, but again, can't judge or fault them in this situation.
They’re doing what they’re supposed to do-living life, working hard and being successful. There is probably some animosity there. I mean, it’s not like he was framed. He was a drug dealer and made a habit of getting into trouble. His actions robbed them of their father. He could have done better by them but didn’t.
It strikes me as odd that they don’t keep in touch but I can only assume they have reasons for it, and I respect that. They have done tremendous things in a situation where most kids go the easy route, causing problems and checking out on the world.
Either way, the sentence is insane. People who kill other people don’t get 25 years. But I don’t want to turn this into an OregonLive forum where we debate politics/law/race/healthcare reform/etc. I hope he can be a part of their lives upon an early release. Sounds like he’s being a good citizen behind bars though…
I kinda disagree with ESPN's prediction
I mean I like the prediction but they say we just have a decent passing game. I think they’re way off.

They're looking at the season's average probably.
Our game definitely was heating up as the year wore on. The consensus seems to be Beavs by two scores, which makes me feel OK. I’ll feel better if they can get out in front of BYU early.
ESPN's Ted Miller disagrees
Our friend who covers the Pac-10 beat went with the Cougars.

Go Beavs!
opps, hit post too quickly
That top comment was suppose to say at the end: It’s funny then because the one Arby posted for ESPN is Watson’s predict!
