Norris and Paea were both on one leg. Kristick had the pinched nerve that he was playing through, and he finally got knocked out in the fourth quarter. You watch Oregon's offense, and Chip Kelly was cut blocking Paea every other play. It took Paea more than four weeks of straight-up rest to get to 100% before the Sun Bowl. Looking back at the schedule, the three weeks before the 2008 Civil War, Oregon played #7 Stanford and #5 Arizona at home. Oregon State had to play in the Rose Bowl, had #4 California at home, and played a shootout night game in Tucson that was won on a last-second field goal. The 2008 game was on Saturday. To my knowledge, they did not move it up. There was talk about moving it back to make it fair, but Oregon would not agree to that. 2009 was the year that Oregon State had the bye right before the game, and Bobby D agreed to move it back to a Thursday to get it on National TV and get a bigger paycheck. The 2009 game was entertaining, because it was the de facto Pac-12 Conference Championship Game, the first Championship Game of Championship Week. The net effect of not moving the Civil War back in 2008, when Oregon had the advantage, but moving back in 2009, to negate Oregon State's advantage, did not play well with almost every Beaver fan. I went to both the UCLA and Arizona games. In the UCLA game both of our lines started dominating midway through the 2nd quarter. At halftime it was still close. I was going crazy trying to get internet reception to make 2nd half bets on the Beavs. I believe I reached a couple of books and made some money. The Arizona game was at night. Somehow James Rodgers let the game winning touchdown pass fall between his hands. We did get the TD though and missed the extra point. I told my buddy I was happy because that left the game a tie and Arizona would not be aggressive trying to score. They punted with less than a minute to go. We hit a couple of big plays and kicked the game winning fg. Oh, I forgot. That was before the in-n-out thing and there must have been 200 dinner boxes of KFC for the players as they got on the bus. I went to the 2008 Arizona game and went with my cousin to the game. We sat in the middle of an Arizona section. We missed the extra point, and he was so mad that he almost threw his infant. Stoops used his timeouts, and I started chanting, "Four more years!" If the Beavers had won another conference game, we'd probably still be talking about that Arizona game. A great game!

There is no question Banker is the better teacher and DC. Mark eschewed several jobs that Rocky could have never gotten directly after leaving OSU.
Rocky left OSU for UCLA. Mark Banker was never offered a job anywhere near that level while he was at OSU, nor has he worked at that level since leaving.

Your dad was weak.. On the interwebs, it just escalates to neverending stupidity. It's best not to be the North Korea, taking pot-shots for no reason.

Ad hominem arguments on the message boards is pretty much the virtual version of road rage.
Everyone driving by is sort of cringe-watching and laughing uncomfortably occasionally. Sometimes it's comical, two little cars swerving at each other, sometimes it's two giant immovable semis... sometimes it is an M-series 5-ton running over a VW rabbit.
The emotions are confusing, sometimes the VW rabbit deserved it, sometimes they could have exercised a tad of restraint even though they had the right away.
Either way, it makes a disaster that everybody has to navigate around. Sometimes it's fun to argue a little, but we could all definitely use a little more "Mike Riley" in our posting.

Who was OSU's defensive coach on the 1964 Rose Bowl team under Tommy Prothro? That was probably the best defensive team the Beavs have had.

That's something somebody who had a weak dad would say. Did he make you squat when you'd pee? Wear a dress? Kill Giants? Sing the d@ck fight song? Drive a Honda? What was it, homie? Why so angry? You mad, bro?

Jesus guys, what happened here?
At any rate. Banker was the better overall DC. He gets way to maligned for 2008 Civil War. I get it, we should of gone to the Rose Bowl and he gave up 10 quadrillion points... whatever.
He still authored some masterpiece defenses with a hodgepodge of 3* kids against increasingly potent offenses more times than not.
Our defense under Banker were ALWAYS ball hawking, hard hitting, aggressive Ds. It was a JOY to watch Mark Banker's defenses. He has some significant blemishes in record, like the Civil War in 2008 and like ALL of 2014...
In 11 years as a DC, 18 of his players were drafted (2004 through 15 drafts) in that same time 13 offensive players were drafted. Banker produced more draft worthy players from Oregon State than his offensive counterpart(s).
Oregon State is a "have not" school, and he routinely produced an top tier pac-10/12 defense in an era that was overall more competitive, with overall more diverse and challenging offenses to defend against.
