    After much careful consideration, my drink selection for this game is...

    that almost never works

    Smith is a hot commodity right now. He rebuilt a bottom-dwelling Power-5 program and made it a top-20 team with a 19-6 record the last two seasons. OSU may not be considered a power program next season and they will be losing a lot of seniors and potentially, a lot of talent to the transfer portal. They could be taking a step back next year and do so while playing a Mountain West schedule. Smith could be at the apex of his market value as the OSU right now. And USC would never hire him anyway. UCLA might but they may not fire Chip Kelly

    I'm still not convinced Smith will leave OSU, but if MSU is making him a big offer, it might be too big an opportunity to pass up

    The coach MSU just fired was making $10mill/year.

    supposedly, from a Beaver twitter spaces chat today:

    "sneaking around" is almost certainly an unfair characterization

    even if it's mostly true and Smith abandons his Alma mater, I doubt there will be a presser tomorrow. Probably Sunday

    Jahlil Florence will miss the game apparently. Not ever a good thing when a starting CB is out

    They wouldn't say it's the biggest upset in a while, but I see literally zero (non injurious) ways the beavs win today.

    No, I'm not taking bets.

    Usually I’m a platypus and root for both the Beavs and the Ducks. Not tonight with a matchup with the Huskies for the PAC-12 title and a possible trip to the CFP on the line.

    Nix the Beavers!

    According to the announcers, Beaver have Ducks right where they want them. Forced them to take 8 minutes to score a touchdown on their first possession..

    Not really funny for me. Kind of highlights that USA would rather give their surplus equipment to a place that doesn't need it at all than to Ukraine. For example, there are 2000 surplus Bradley armored personnel vehicles sitting in storage; Ukraine loves these life savers. (Sorry to intrude in this thread, I'm feeling intense about beating Beavers and russians!)

    According to their reasoning, the Beavers win again by getting rid of the ball after only a few minutes and forcing the Ducks into another offensive drive.

    Beavers: Pass - successful. Pass - penalty - successful.

    OC: Dammit we have to run the ball! It's what Oregon game-planned for.
