Print- With all the clowns at ESPN, it was amazingly refreshing to hear Kirk Herbstreit, before the game, give his take on the whole "reefer madness" situation.
He seems legitimately angry about this, and I couldn't agree more with his point. Whether fair or not, the OTL piece was increased scrutiny for a team that has in fact had a lot of legal problems. We didn't need another headline. I think Kirk does a good job here. - It was interesting to see Quarless in pads yesterday.
It sounded to me like Quarless and Wallace were the two who were still actually at the apartment, so for Koroma and Evans to be the two in street close yesterday is curious.

Pretty sure...
this was the best way he could slam OTL for poor reporting while keeping his job. It seems like he is seeing through their proverbial haze of poor reporting. Finally we’re being represented (poorly) but correctly. Speaking of needing someone to step up…. maybe we will see Gaines take control of our defense. If he keeps churning out good games like this perhaps we will see some leadership.
Yes, we saw the wave in the 1st quarter. They had it on tv coming back from a break.
Yes, sadly
That was a wave in the first quarter. I was confused too.
On the plus side, in the second half, they pulled off the first reverse wave I’ve seen there.
John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

Yea
I didn’t participate in the 1st quarter wave, but the reverse one was mesmerizing.

I was in the student section
The guys at the end of the student section (Southwest corner) tried to start the wave, but that leads right into the non-student section. My section, the southeastern corner, convinced them to try going the other way, to pick up some steam going into the regular seats.
It worked.

It blew my mind.

The freshman section started it, apparently
I can’t blame their enthusiasm, though. They did, however, try to start a “WE ARE…” chant while we were on offense… this may be the first game in which I’ve seen our players motion for us to shut up.
they also did that motion when they broke a huddle near the end zone in the first Qtr
because the blue band wouldn’t shut up, and the freshmen were singing along

Yeah
What happened was my side [We Are] started doing “Thank You” but the others didn’t realize and said “Penn State” 3 times before they picked up on it.
How'd he look
Was good, but the best thing he said: “Forget it….I’m not going to answer any of those type of questions.” And JoePa said it while pulling off an Andy-Reid type of I-run-this-program-not-the-media attitude. Go Joe.

Not happy at ABC either
Of course, we’re both watching on WJLA (DC) right?

Coverage in Alabama
I had the game on the ESPN2 Alternate channel because I live in Alabama and they blacked out the regular ESPN2 channel. I think that people with Dish Network got it, but DirecTV might not have had it. I got to see the entire game!! I’m so excited about this year!!!
For the glory
I have..........
Direct TV and I had it on the same channel you had it on. ESPNa. Whole game.

Buffalo Wild Wings
Did not have it (at least the one in my town), according to a friend. I thought that was BS, but since they had DirecTV, I was wondering if that made a difference. Thanks for clearing that up!
For the glory
I have ALWAYS liked
Kirk Herbstreit. He tells it like it is, he’s tactful. He’s just a genuinely good analyst.
Plus he thinks whiteouts are the shit.
Kirk
He basically summed up what I was saying in my fanpost.

Kirk said what we're all feeling and is as angry!
Where is the leadership? When are these guys going to stand up to each other and say “enough of this. Stop f’ing it up for those of us who work hard and stay clean?!?!” Those clowns are not only screwing themselves, they are screwing their teammates. It’s got to stop.
Losing the game
They want you to buy GamePlan if you want to watch your whole game. They love to switch out of market….
JoePa in '09
The Big10 is not part of Gameplan since the
BTN last year. Either the game is on ABC regional or it rolls over to the Deuce.
check out pinkertonpark.com you owe yerself a laugh.
I am excited
by Daryll Clark’s running ability, I am 100x more excited by converting 3rd downs via passing. This offense will move the ball and score points, although it should be noted that the Beavers don’t have a good defense, and based on early-season returns we may not be seeing a good defense until Wisconsin. That’s the only reservation I have, I’ve seen this before, rock-and-roll through the OOC schedule and then things bog down in conference play. But so far everything looks good, sitting in the stands I tried to guess along with the offense and found myself surprised at times, which is good.
Oregon State fans traveled well, I was surprised to see that many, even talked to a couple while tailgating.
I thought OSU had some great fans.
I never thought I’d write that…
I was in the south tier (my first home game at Beaver Stadium since 2001) one section away from the Oregon State fans.. I was impressed to see that almost all of their fans stayed for the entire game. Not a lot of visiting fans would stick around when their team is down 35-7 at the half.
So help me, I never heard the “Thank You”. It all sounded like “We are” on our side.
It’s “ROON TTUB” spelled backwards.
Get it now?

A little googling
suggests it might be the name of someone of Pakistani origin. A couple of other bloggers noticed it also, and there’s a few facebook hits for “Noor Butt”. So, obscure self-promotion is my guess.
Gaines Article
That is great stuff. I wish ESPN would focus on positive items like that instead of all the negative stuff they push across the TV.
Pat Devlin in '08, er, '09
players involved
Maybe I misunderstood the information but I thought Wallace was NOT at the apartment and that is why he wasn’t suspended. Is that information incorrect? All the reports I saw said that Quarless, Evans, and Koroma were there and Wallace was not so he was not suspended.
by jumpingoffsides on Sep 8, 2008 10:30 AM EDT reply actions
there have been a lot of stories
but I don’t that that’s correct:
The warrant listed Nova, Wallace and Quarless as being at the apartment Tuesday night. Neither Evans nor Koroma was listed as being at the apartment Tuesday night, with the warrant only listing them as two of the most recent tenants.
