So I didn’t watch the game. Unlike Thursday when I had plans, yesterday I just couldn’t bring myself to turn game on. Some of that was because I had already watched my Illini lose a road game they were in position to win. But checking on my phone and seeing Beavs down 23-9 sealed the deal.
Looking at box score the thing that really jumps out is the abysmal overall shooting percentage. But beyond that, Beavers had 3 guys who had more fouls than points (including our 2 centers) and a fourth who hit a late 3 to equal the 3 fouls he had. Combined those 4 guys played 50 minutes.
Rather than dwell on the bad though, let’s look at the positives. One more win and the Beavers beat their win total from last year. Two more and they tie their conference win total — though that is looking decreasingly like it will happen. But the biggest positive is that as far as we know, Barnes hasn’t extended Tinkle’s contract again.

Didn’t bother to tune in, the product is unwatchable. Wayne needs to step down, he won’t but he should. OSU is the laughingstock in the new PAC-2.

I've not dove since 2012, prior to that I was a working scuba/instructor/DM/boat captain for 14 years. Legitimately 2k+ dives and a ton of times captaining, should have logged my dives, probably a lot more. Planning on diving for several days on a trip this fall. Actually working out for it. Seen too many 60+ year olds that haven't dove in years struggle. My cardio is probably better than when I was teaching and guiding, definitely can't throw tanks like I used to for now. This year we're headed to our old stomping grounds in Kona. After that I'm hoping to get out at least a trip a year elsewhere. Too many places I haven't seen. 90 is a great price compared to Kona, even a decade ago. Have a blast! Yep... Kona/Waikoloa was our go to spot until "our" hotel resort was bought out and is some Auberge (?) $400+/nt place. When the bowl of oatmeal went to $19 and going to the King & Queen Market areas cost you $100+ for a couple small bags... we stopped going as much. We mostly snorkel now... OK, pretty much only snorkel now. My partner in crime enjoys it more. Plus unlike you I was always a novice and never captained. Or became one of those things I did, but didn't love. I guess we all have those, "been there, done that" activities that just don't stick as regulars, but you may revisit. We're having a blast. Our trips are one of two types: "chilax" in a laid back more locals warm beach area, eat, drink, walk/bike a ton to explore (golf cart if imbibing too much), snorkel; or "touristy" with day to day activities visiting sites... roadies or in places like Ireland by train, bus, tours. Each had their place, but the older I get the more "chilax" wins out. May have to do with not having to deal with so many people!? Kona is still a fav when our older kids van come with. I'm sure you'll have a blast getting back into the diving scene. Game thread duly hijacked. No chute or ransom required! Honestly it’s much more entertaining than Beaver basketball. |

I'll 👍 because of the hoops portion and not that we're necessarily entertaining in and of ourselves! Of course, on here I believe everyone has their moments😉 |
