Card Tricks Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I fully expect the typical Game 1 overreactions to follow. The Beavers still suck. Oregon State will once again be the doormat of the Pac-12. Pretty sure I even saw a poster earlier who said they'd be shocked if the Beavs won more than 2 games this year. And yet there are two things we know to be as true as time itself: Week 1 means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things and Gary Anderson's squads always improve over time. Mark my words: Oregon State is going bowling this season. And they're going to beat someone they have no business beating. I had this game down as a loss before kickoff and the results have done nothing to change my mind on the Beavers' prospects for 2017. I will admit, I expected a much closer game than 58-27. So did just about everybody. But there are teachable moments in every loss (even blowouts) and I expect this to be an early wakeup call for Gary Anderson and his program. They will rebound, they will improve, and by the time we wrap up the regular season, they will be on their way to a bowl game for the first time in four years.

PAC MAN Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Even crappy CU teams beat CSU and CU did that twice under MacIntyre before 2016. Getting blown out by CSU isn't a good sign at all. While I wasn't the one that said OSU would have just two wins this season, that person who said it might be correct in this case because those would probably come against Portland State and Cal. I just don't see OSU going bowling this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Didn't watch the game, but I thought Beavers would be better on defense. I did not think a GA team would be giving up 52 points to CSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 i think his usu turnaround was impressive. winning 20 games in two seasons in madison seems very wisconsin-y // shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplorerSunDevil Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Colorado State did hang 63 points on San Diego State last November and the Aztecs are a team that I think will give both Arizona State and Stanford trouble this year. Maybe Colorado state is emerging as a good program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
