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-

UW game is on ESPN

I am not sure if anyone caught this, but ESPN replayed the UW game tonight.

Damn hard to watch.

I am thinking about doing a break down of the last play of the game if I can gather the time. Spoiler- the TE ran the wrong route on the play. A soft curl route would have won the game. Katz thought that was the route. Hulahani drifted into the Safety.

BTW- Hardin needs to be replaced by Poyer asap. I feel really bad for Hardin- he is a good kid giving 110% effort. He is more of a Safety than a corner. He got used...repeatedly. He is a good athlete in the wrong position.

PS- I hated Mike Bellotti's commentary on the game- did you too? Leave comments....

Your love is a rollercoaster

A lot of folks are talking about the loss against Washington, it was a tough one. The bye is going to help me recover from this emotionally draining first 6 games. At 3-3 apathy is starting to set in.

This season has been a rocky one from a fan's perspective. There have been a lot of highlights to get excited about, and there have been some clear deficiencies made apparent.

It is not easy being an Oregon State football fan. It seems like every year, even when the team is winning, you have no idea what to expect. When you expect them to lose, they win. When you expect them win, they find a way to lose.

Cal fans have been going through this for years. I am friends with lots of Cal grads and their apathy is unreal. It doesn't matter if Cal is 7-0 or 11-0, they expect an implosion one way or the other. This year's Cal team is no different. Totally psycho. Nobody knows witch team will show up.

Is Oregon State going to be Cal from now on?

Beavers lose 35-34

The pass was dropped in the endzone.

This was a tough loss.

The Beavers should have beat the Huskies. 3 INT's won't do it. Especially on the road.

35-28 UW

Hardin gets burned yet again and UW takes the lead. The Beavers must score a TD to continue this game.

The pressure is on the OSU offense to make plays right now.

UW scores, 28-28

Locker connected on a slant on 3rd and 2, 20 yard TD. On to 2nd overtime.

UW goes first on offense now. OSU on defense.

TD Quizz Rodgers! In OT!

28-21 Beavers! Katz tosses a nice pass to Quizz for a 10 yard score.

If the defense stops UW here, game over!

Beavers are killing themselves

3 penalties in a row. 2 and 25 yds. 3rd and long. Punt.

UW has two timeouts left. 1:25 left.

UW starts at their 10 yard line.

The Beavers need a pick 6 bad.....

Beavers get a huge 3rd down stop thanks to replay

Beavers got a lucky break on 3rd down. On the return the Beavers managed to get a block in the back penalty. 70 yds to paydirt.

Let's see if Katz can show some character and make a drive happen.

Beavers get fumble then stall again

UW has the ball at their 10 yard line with 4 minutes left.

Katz looks rattled. Locker is not much better.

UW misses FG, 8 minutes left

21-21 still! The OSU defense made a huge sack on 3rd down stopping UW.

The Beavers need a game winning drive right now. Quizz has got to get the ball.

Washington stops OSU

UW is playing better, the OSU offense found a way to stop themselves.

UW is now driving for a TD.

The turnovers by OSU are killers.

Katz throws his 3rd INT!

The Beavers were on the 10 yard line and Katz again throws a bonehead pick. The defense is holding, but Katz is melting down.

Quizz is on fire. He needs to get the ball. Katz is really having a bad game even though his 3rd down conversion rate is good. The turnovers are killing the Beavers.

If the Beavers lose the turnover stat, UW will win 98% of the time.

Brennan Olander makes a huge play on 4th down

UW looked like they were driving and Brennan Olander made a huge play driving the UW center back into the RB on 4th down.

Olander doesn't look like an athlete but he is making plays. Paea is hurt, he's been out since taking a shot to his knee.

Katz promptly threw another INT. UW has the ball at the 10 yard line.

2 INT's is going to haunt the Beavers.

21-21! Beavers tie it up

The Beavers got the ball and drove it down Washington's arse. Quizz is on fire. TD Beavers.

PS-Mike Bellotti is a donkey, and why ESPN put him on the OSU game tonight is beyond me.

21-14 Halftime

Here are some stats:

OSU offense: 133 total yds
UW offense: 274 total yds

Turnovers:

OSU: 1
UW: 2

QB's:

Katz: 6/13 54 yds, 1 TD rushing, 1 INT
Locker: 12/19 189 yds, 3 TD's, 1 INT

RB's:

Quizz: 14/64 yds, 1 TD
Polk: 14/55 yds

The Beavers will need to stop UW's offense in order for them to mount a comeback. OSU's offense is starting to click.


21-14, Quizz is mad

This game is now interesting. The Beavers seem really pissed off. Each player is giving second effort.

Quizz just ran around and over the entire Washington defense for a TD. The whole drive was Quizz. He is like a smaller Jim Brown. Just mad. At everyone and everything. Yikes.

Beavers score! 21-7

The Beavers look pissed and ready to make a comeback. Katz scored on a nifty scramble.

Poyer intercepted Locker and now the Beavers have the ball at the UW 10.

The Meltdown continues, 21-0

The Beavers are getting bitch slapped by the Huskies. It figures, we've beat them too many times in a row.

Analyzing this mess is pointless. It begins and ends with the Defense which is horrible. Just because the offense gets stopped once or twice doesn't mean you give up TD's like this defense does. It's scary how bad this year's squad is.

Katz has had opportunities, but a combination of bad breaks is hurting. Quizz has had nowhere to run so far. Wheaton dropped an easy TD.

This is looking like a really bad blowout. Kudo's to UW for being ready to play.

The Beavers are getting manhandled

Washington is taxing the Beavers so far, the score is 7-0 Washington but the Huskies are at the Beaver 3 yard line at the start of the 2nd quarter.

It looks like Washington is taking a physical strategy against the Beavers and so far it's working. The Beaver defense has been on the field way too long, and the Husky O-line is starting to push them around. UW has 11 1st downs and 165 yards already!

PS- My other favorite Orange/Black team just beat the Phillies so I am in a good mood.

Oops, UW just scored again 14-0.
