What is this Mariners pitching? My goodness. 🫣

How can we get the students to replace "The Beaver State" banner with this one on Saturday?

Putting a bandaid on a wound that needs stitches.

Timbers just completely toothless and out of ideas in the final third. What a horrible day of sports.

Was very therapeutic to listen to 😌

Doing some self-care scoreboard watching.

Oh no, does his fingie hurt? 🥺

That's what's so frustrating. This team is light years more talented than an Andersen team but, unbelievably, the coaching is even worse.

A competent coaching staff has this team 3-3 on their way to 9-3 or 8-4. The fact they aren't resigning in shame is incredible.

We have a large, tall quarterback. Better never sneak it with him, go shotgun instead!

Safety! Good job by the D. I'm ready to get hurt even more. 🥰

THESE COACHES ARE FAILING THESE PLAYERS AT EVERY LEVEL. THEY DESERVE BETTER.

Fire Ryan Gunderson into the sun.

I'm scared for these next two play calls from the 1. 😬

Two of the worst quarterback plays I have ever seen in a row by Murphy. Good lord. What the fuck.
thomasg86.bsky.social
What the absolute fuck was that 3rd and 3 call? I think the coaches hate our players.
thomasg86.bsky.social
Defense making some good plays but CAN NOT get off the field when it matters. 🤦

Action from this athletic department? Surely you jest!

Fire Jaime Christian into the sun.

I still need clarity on the "all recurring donations go directly to athletes" thing. Is that because we are below $750k right now? If we have $2M/year in recurring donations, is $2M going to athletes or does it fall into the "split" arrangement above $750k? JC was definitely a little too softbally.

Mostly, I left with the sense an agreement like this might make sense, but OSU got completely hoodwinked. I understand the base fee; but yeah, raise $750k and then every $ after that, maybe a 70/30 split at most? The way BP snorkels up so much between $750k and $1.15M is insane. And 50% after that!

Yeah listening to the interview yesterday with Blaylock... mixed thoughts.

He was clearly trying to sell the agreement and almost seemed like a salesperson for Blueprint... which I understand, that agreement is under attack, but a little less MLM "it's really great" energy would have helped.

Maybe we have it all wrong and are being silly. Tell us that! I just hate the silence.

BeaverSky/BeaverX really lacks a mole inside of the AD.

Do we know if they are even scrambling? Is there tension in the air? Or are they just shrugging and assuming it'll all blow over?

The lack of leadership right now is STRIKING.
