Face it. We're not going to beat the Ducks. Any team that can beat Stanford at Stanford by 40 points is not going to lose on their own home court. But let's take a step back, okay? What is our real goal here? Our real goal is to disappoint the ducks and the duck fans. That's what counts to a Beaver. Given that, there IS a formula for success: 1) Take a bus the day of the game, leaving Corvallis just 4 hours before game time. 2) Arrange it so the bus gets a flat tire in Junction City. 3) The players sit on the bus while the flat is fixed. 4) Spray some foul-smelling but harmless gas into the bus. 5) Claim that the players were overcome by carbon monoxide and are unable to play. 6) Return home. And voila! All those Duck fans arrive at the PAP smear arena expecting a game after making a long and arduous trek through hazardous weather and road conditions, but then receive the ultimate disappointment. They can't destroy, and I mean DESTROY, the hapless but virtuous Beavers. I have considered this carefully, and this is the best course of action. I just hope Rueck reads this message and sees the light that thickhead has shone on this predicament. I have long wondered why a supposed Beavers supporter would take the time to post garbage above like thickhead chose to do. If thickhead doesn't believe the Beavers have a chance in either game, that is fine. His opinion is what it is worth. I suppose it is thickhead's lame attempt at humor once again. I do know that current Beavers players firmly believe that they can beat the Ducks this weekend. And that really is all that matters. |

Not bhf, he has relevant information in his posts. |

I do know that current Beavers players firmly believe that they can beat the Ducks this weekend. And that really is all that matters. I don't know what the oddsmakers are giving OSU vs UO, but I'm sure they're not good. Given the unlikelihood of a victory in Eugene, it seemed contrary to logic for prior posts in this thread to be expressing a lot of optimism. The title of this thread "What's it going to take?" is a virtual admission that it's going to take a lot, and probably a lot of luck, to beat the duckies. Yes, Slocum could come through big, and Rueck could have a great plan for Grymek and Morris that we haven't seen yet, so an OSU victory is not impossible, but let's get real here. My response was a kind of counterweight to the prior posts: If you're going to seriously think we're going to win the game, then I'll post something positively absurd to balance it out. Perhaps my flippant reply was a lame attempt at humor as you suggest, done at a whim while in a mood. But BHF, the old reliable, who never misses his chance to heap insults on people whose opinions he disagrees with, has come through once again. Each of us is programmed a certain way, but I think my programming is the more innocuous. I do lame humor, and BHF insults. Sure as day turns to night. |

At the game Monday night, Beaver fans will be enthusiastically cheering on the team whether they think the team has a chance or not. I am still working on analyzing the above strategy offered by ftd.

It's awfully difficult to go undefeated in conference. I say we're're going to pin the first L on them.

As someone who has taken classes in both campuses, and have had been involved in many of the athletic circles, I can clearly say from my experience the hatred does tend to come more heavily from the beavers side. The oregon students/fans/athletes don't give a sh*t about what osu does, but every sport and game the ducks have is closely monitored by osu fans just in case there is a chance to celebrate a loss. Just my close observation. FTd!
 Way to go buddy. Not against anyone here, I encourage this behavior from the beaver side. My observation is spot on though. Beavers got to faith in this game though. |

What's it going to take? Last night unranked Missouri defeated #5 MSU in Starksville; back and forth most of the game and pulling away at the end. Back to the original question......UO looking past an opponent helps us immensely. On our part, suffocating defense, strong post presence with solid rebounding and from an offensive standpoint, we've got to get our three's flowing. That could open up some easy dump off's down low. I've been amped up all week about this game for one main reason: I knew that UO was eventually going to get to this level when they hired Graves. About 3 or 4 years ago, we were beating them sounding at Gill when the student section started up a "little sister" chant (theme and variation on the UO "little brother" football chant). I don't mind pummeling an opponent into the ground, but to publicly mock them is another story all together. It's unsportsmanlike and disrespectful. Tonight (I hope I'm wrong) UO might enact their revenge if we can't execute our game plan.

Disappointing to hear that the Quacker Box is sold out and in Corvallis we’re giving away tickets. Regardless of the outcome, it’s kinda sad.

My guess that the game in Corvallis is not sold out is due to the game being on a Monday instead of Sunday (or Friday). Fewer people can make the trip down due to work from Portland/Salem area especially with a 6 pm start time as well as being a school night. Just a thought, it should still be pretty packed though. |

There is something called identity politics. Extrapolating from that there is something I like to call identity fandom. The bully's down the road have many fans around the state, in my experience, that will jump at the chance to embrace the spotlight success that they have been so recently afforded through the rocket rise of their programs. Don't let the 'sellout' concern you. Beaver fans have other things going that preclude them from getting to the game but will be there in spirit. Fans are great but shooting percentage, both offensive and defensive, will have more effect on the outcome. |

Fans are great but shooting percentage, both offensive and defensive, will have more effect on the outcome. Oregon is averaging 6500+ per home game for women's basketball. OSU women currently average about 5200 per home game A good portion of the sellout crowd (12,300+) will be OSU fans in Matthew Knight Arena. Likely that some portion of the crowd on Monday night in Gill will be UO fans. The effect of a winning team in any sport will drive "casual fans" to spend time and money to attend a sporting event. Beavers have experienced that for multiple years in women's basketball by averaging larger crowds than any other Pac12 school. Discounting the winning or fans for UO under the same circumstance seems a bit disingenuous. |
