Funny highlight videos

Here is a couple of highlight videos set to funny music. I am not sure Depeche Mode or EMF have enough testosterone for today's players, but it is funny that these songs were used for football highlights back in the day.

Here's UW's highlight video from 1991 set to Depeche Mode-

Arizona used EMF's Unbelievable for their 1993 highlight film-

James Rodgers qualifies for Medical Redshirt

Here's some good news- James Rodgers qualifies for a medical hardship from the NCAA since he has played in 30% or less of the Beavers games this year. We could have the Rodgers Bros back again next year, which wouldn't suck.

There is a chance that he might have only torn his cartilage, which means he could get scoped and be back in two weeks.

Rodgers was quoted by Oregon Live that he didn't hear a pop and that it just tightened up on him. I've messed up my knees before, 2 scopes, sprained ligaments,etc. Usually when you tear ligaments you hear a pop, and it's usually loud enough to hear in a stadium packed with fans. If he partially tore ligaments he wouldn't hear a pop. If it's a partial tear he will probably redshirt since fixing partial tears are the same as full tears. If it was late in the season, he could play on a partial tear, but would need surgery after the season. In that scenario James would have a hard time getting drafted by the NFL since he would be rehab'ing well into the spring.

Here's a video of the play Rodgers got hurt on:

Beavers Win! 29-27

Arizona made a comeback but the Beavers held on for the victory!

Katz played a great game. 30/42 was fantastic. He put up 398 yds passing tonight. 3rd down conversions were 11-16. Katz looked like a baller this afternoon. A real leader. He is going to do great things at OSU.

The defense bent but didn't break. OSU gave up 540 yds of offense tonight. Okay, calling that bending is a stretch but they won. They only gave up 100 yds rushing, which is good, unless the offense is passing at will.

James Rodgers loss is huge, he was on fire until he got hurt. So frickin' sad. Wheaton stepped up huge with 7 catches for 113 yds and a TD.

Great win for the Beavers.

PS- Arizona was overrated. Although they were ranked #9, they weren't that good. The Beavers still have lots of room for improvement. This Pac-10 race is going to be interesting. I have a feeling the UofO vs OSU game is going to have grand importance for the 3 year in a row. We shall see...

2 minute Arizona offense takes it's toll

Arizona drove down the field and scores with 1:52 left. The OSU defense was clueless against the U of A offense. A couple key penalties helped.

29-27 OSU

Kahut's misses are huge.

If the Beavers can get one first down, the game is over.

2 INT's almost

Foles folds. 3rd and 10 Hardin has a long pass hit him in the face through his hands. Next play, 4th and 10, Cameron Collins drops an easy pick. Oh well, the Beavers have the ball at Arizona's 43 yard line, 4 minutes left.

If OSU scores, it's game over. It's also a great example of how to close a win on the road against the #9 team in the country.

Kahut misses another PAT!!!!! 29-20 OSU

After Dockery's amazingly lucky tackle the Beavers drove to a TD, and frickin' Kahut shanks another PAT!!!

This kinda shit will lose a close game. Foles has 2 game winning comebacks this year already.

WTF? 5:43 left in the game.

Beavers fall short on a critical series

The Beavers pushed down to the Arizona 40, then stalled. Now Arizona is driving. The Beavers drive could be the turning point in the game. Arizona is moving the ball at will on offense now.

23-20 OSU.....

Arizona uses OSU's defense to score

Arizona wastes no time and drives for a score. 23-20 OSU.

Momentum is on Arizona's side. Katz and Quizz need to stop this track meet.

Kahut is a donkey

Oregon State just orchestrated a fantastic drive for a TD and Justin Kahut misses the extra point. WTF???

The snap was fine. What is with kickers??? They have the easiest job on the team. One job, no reads, no mysteries. Point and shoot.

Ryan Katz looked great on the drive. So did Quizz.

Arizona starts the 2nd half with a sense of urgency, 17-13

The defense got worked on a couple plays. 33 yd TD by Arizona. Arizona is trying to lose this game, they got the extra point blocked! Arizona looks worried and they are trying harder now.

Markus Wheaton is going to get more shots to make plays, James Rodgers is out.

17-13 Oregon State

Halftime prediction

The Beavers are lucky to have a 10 pt lead, but that isn't going to be enough to win this game. They need to pile it on in the second half. I am concerned that Arizona is going to get fired up and make a comeback, taking advantage of OSU's historically lackluster closing skills.

James Rodgers was playing a huge game until he got hurt. It remains to be seen if the back-ups can pick up the slack.

The second half of this game is going to be a season defining 2 quarters for the Beavers. If they win, they are on a roll. If they lose this season looks like a "moral victory" season.

OSU 17 Arizona 7

Arizona ran nearly every play at Brandon Hardin to drive to the 25 of OSU, and missed the FG with 2 seconds left in the half.

OSU's defense is playing great for the most part. I feel bad for Hardin, there is not much he can do, he is not athletic enough to play corner in the Pac-10 and Arizona is trying to exploit this fact. Give Banker credit, he is scheming a good plan so far.

OSU's offense is making plays, they've gotten some bad breaks that stopped drives. Katz is playing great, 19 of 28, 257 yds, 2 TD's, 1 INT.. Even with the INT. He is making plays, starting to look more comfortable. Quizz is not a factor, 9 carries for 26 yds.

Foles is 14 for 19, 207 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT.

James Rodgers had 7 catches for 102 yards in the first half before getting hurt.... damn that pussy ass DB!!!!!!!

Katz records his first INT

In the redzone, Katz makes his first bad decision of the year. 159 passes went before he threw this pick. He has been having a great game. Arizona gets the ball at the 2 yd line at least.

This game is a hard hitting affair.

James Rodgers has a blown knee, the extent of the injury is unclear- but he can't put any weight on it and is in the locker room.

OSU's defense is playing it's best so far this year. Hardin is still the weak link tho. He gave up a pass interference that gave Arizona a chance to score before the half..

17-7 OSU

Douchebag DB hurts James Rodgers

The Beavers are playing the Cats tough, and James Rodgers was having a great game until he got tackled in the endzone after an apparent touchdown. The play was called back because of an illegal man downfield.

The Arizona DB didn't need to tackle James 5 yards into the endzone but did and twisted James' knee.

OSU is leading 17-7.

Nick Foles scares me- sorta

Foles is third in the nation in completion percentage (74.5, 102 of 137) and ranks 26th in passing efficiency (149.84). He only has 6 TD's and has 4 pic's tho. Over a dozen different players have caught passes from him this year, which means they don't have a go-to guy or he's just democratic.

His competition so far has been Toledo, Citadel, Iowa and Cal. Iowa is a quality team and a tremendous win. Cal is good, Toledo and Citadel are weak, so it's hard to read. I think the Beavers can find a scheme to screw him up. Iowa probably played vanilla D and paid the price.

17-14 Beavers at halftime

The Beavers are playing hard, which is awesome. Arizona knows the Beavers weaknesses on defense but are crippled by their own injuries. Plus Arizona's #1 RB got hurt on the first play of the game. OSU has a DB named Dockery who is getting picked on relentlessly. He must suck or something. Clark is not getting many passes thrown his way. 99 rushing yards in the first half is not Beaver-like.

Catchings is hurt again. Adejini has stepped up, but he looks fragile- like he hasn't been here before. James Rogers is getting double teamed on every pass play, focusing Canfield on Adejini. So far the kid has stepped up.

Quizz is getting frustrated with the lack of blocking by the o-line. The o-line has to get better asap.

Will the Beavers win this game? It's too close to call.

Enough already

I've been surfing the net for OSU Beaver articles, and the common piece is about how all the "message boards" are calling for Sean Canfield's head. There is a nice heart felt piece about Moevao text messaging Canfield a love note...great.....

I studied communications at OSU and one of the things it taught me was when to smell B.S. I read comments on all the major sites and the Canfield vs. Moevao argument is minimal.

I don't think Canfield was the reason OSU lost to Cincy. Quite the contrary, the offensive line got it's ass kicked and Quizz was not 100%. PLEASE STOP BASHING CANFIELD. I know he sucks, but so does Moevao, neither are top-tier talents. I think Sean has showed a lot of poise, which also can be construed as holding on to the ball too long. Either way, he is capable of winning 70% of his games if everyone else does their job.

Speaking of which, the OSU defense is average at best. I love Banker, I am sure he can make it work. The LB's are too small, fast yes, but over-powered with good tecnique. This year's D has done okay with stopping the run, but those stats are misleading when the opponents can pass for 20 yds at an 80% completion rate.

Arizona is a great opportunity for the Beavers to dominate and have a big win to start their Pac-10 campaign. Given the competiveness of the Pac-10 this year, the Beavers need all the help they can get.

I'm still in shock that the Beavers won

Apparently I wasn't the only one thinking that this run for the roses couldn't end on a missed PAT. The whole Beaver team made sure the dream continued.

The Beavers are truly a team of destiny. Beating the crap out of Oregon and then upsetting Penn State would qualify this team as one of the greatest EVER in the history of Oregon State football.

Here a kickass video playing on our Monster Video screen at Reser. If I was a visiting team warming up and I saw this video, I would think I was in for a long day....

Possibly one of the best wins ever for OSU

I just watched OSU beat Arizona in one of the most amazing games ever.

I was a doubter, and watched history unfold.
