I love it! Don't even bother replying to whatever baseball replies with, feeding the trolls and all that. Hopefully he'll act like he did after the AZ win and avoid the Beaver board for a few days.

Riley's last few teams wouldn't have won this game because: Riley wouldnt have run the ball 18 straight times. Riley wouldn't have used Mcmaryion on designed run plays to punish the ducks for selling out to stop the run. Beavs D would have given up two long touchdown runs Having gone into a 10 pt hole after halftime, Riley would have panicked and tried to pass the ball on every down. The quarterback would have gotten sacked. Riley would have kicked two fgs to be 4 pts down. Riley won plenty of CWs back in the day but everything we saw today was fresh and positive and uplifting. Beavs played with heart and also won the game.

CGA fan? Kinda not yet, but, getting there. MR appreciation? Hell, yes.
Stay the course. Hopefully, with another year under their belts, the defense will be less porous. Next year 3M will crank it up a notch.....or some other QB CGA has in mind will.....ugh.... Next year maybe the OLs will pass block better and I hope the WRs and TEs will improve some. Just improve year over year.
I want to go bowling next year. Any kind of bowl sans the toilet bowl.
CGA will enter his 3rd year. Keep improving. Get 6 or 7 wins next year. I expect a bonafide run by year 5?
Go Beavs!

Blowcheese, no one can take you seriously because you have an unhealthy hate for Mike Riley. It is the thrust of at least 90% of your posts here. Give it a f%#*ing rest.

Unlike you who only shows up after wins... front run much? Too bad gambling isn't 20/20 hindsight you'd be rich.

I don't need to say it anymore, but i did need to say it and i did. I'm better now , as long as i don't read criticism of Coach Gary Andersen. This staff has breathed life into this program. Sure he flatlined it a bit but that was part of the exorcism. What we have now is a NEW deal. And it is fricking built tough. My OSU hat is off to you CGA!

7 of those last 8 losses to the ducks were courtesy of MR. We were soft, soft, soft. Enter GA and just as he promised, he wanted toughness and power football. Yes, he had a hill to climb and still does - but he is on track to deliver his vision. He does not downsell Corvallis, he doesn't say how tough it is to recruit here, he doesn't complain that he has huge disadvantages.He just goes out and does it. 5 star, 6 star - he doesn't care. If he thinks you are tough enough and that you fit the system - he is going after you. Not everything in Football, sports, or life - for that matter, is handed to you. Andersen knows that and he practices it every day. This is an incredible journey to watch, and I guarantee if you had even more exposure, you would be even more inspired. Football is a tough game, what happened to the ducks is what happens when you have a soft coach with no plan or vision. Phil and his AD 'employees' bought the emperors new clothes. I am so thankful that GA was available and wanted to come to Corvallis. He would be a great leader in whatever field he chose ! The team battled through injuries and position switches and illness (Seth ), and made no excuses EVER. That is nice to witness as an alum and fan.

Cmon, I'm pretty sure prior to this year Oregon had beaten the snot out of almost every Pac 12 school for the past 8 years. I don't want to get in a debate between Riley and Anderson, but Riley fielded some pretty nasty teams in the mid-2000s too. I won't argue that the team played mostly uninspired and lethargic football under Riley once the conference expanded, but the reality of it is Oregon was simply a vastly superior team than OS, and most all other teams from 2008 through 2014.

Due to complacency. The entire PAC 12 went through a series of stages where they criticized Kelly's scheme's , then figured out how to defend those schemes, then started adapting their own offenses. We still have Riley defenders, I get that. But, I jumped off that bandwagon a long time ago. He still has Banker and his old cronies behind him, significant upgrade in access to talent - but still cannot win the ones that count. Just like at OSU. I am through talking about him, the facts are there for all to see. You can support him all you want - I just prefer to move on and go from a Prius and a Bicycle to a Ferrari.

I am so thankful that GA was available and wanted to come to Corvallis. He would be a great leader in whatever field he chose ! The team battled through injuries and position switches and illness (Seth ), and made no excuses EVER. That is nice to witness as an alum and fan. A couple of things. This is hardly the same duck team that beat the Beavers the last 8 years. They only won 4 games. How many of those Riley losses were to a 4 loss duck team? The bulk of those losses came to a team the the NCAA ruled was playing outside of NCAA recruiting rules, that is no longer so. Mike Riley never down sold Corvallis, and I cannot recall him ever saying Corvallis was hard to recruit to. He always said "it's a special place" and he "wanted to end his coaching career there". The sports writing pundits, and pretty much any fan that has a lick of sense, were the ones who said Corvallis and OSU are tougher to recruit to. Gary Andersen has just won 6 games over a two year period, something Mike Riley never did. Woohoo!! Yeah right. Now that said, I like the direction he is taking the football team. I expect it to be a tougher team than we've seen at OSU since the early 70's (with the exception of 1 or 2 Pettibone years where they were really tough yet managed only 4 wins). Whether that toughness translates into routine bowl visits or a better than 50% win mark in Bowl appearances has yet to be seen. Whether recruiting efforts will produce higher ranked recruiting is yet to be seen either. Riley was a great coach. I'm hopeful Andersen will be a great coach as well. I was very impressed with what he was doing at Utah State and hope the same thing will happen here... I'm happy he chose to come here when Riley moved on. Some people apparently never learned that one man's accomplishments (or hopes for his accomplishments) doesn't denigrate the accomplishments of those who preceeded or followed them. Riley accomplished some great things at OSU. Andersen hopefully will accomplish some great things at OSU as well. Only time will tell. A win over a 4 win team that has averaged 11 wins a year for 8-9 years doesn't tell us much yet... but I'm thrilled OSU won. Things are looking up.

For the record, I like Riley and I'm grateful for his time at OSU. I hope he takes Nebraska to the playoffs someday, and I mean that.
I've mentioned this before, and I'll mention it again: losing to your ARCH FREAKING RIVAL FOR 7 STRAIGHT YEARS should raise some eyebrows among fans, boosters, coaches, and the administration. Some of those were tough, close losses, but losses nonetheless. The toilet seats were great during that time, but the gap between the two teams was getting wider, not narrowing. I don't have time to do the research, but I can't think of another Big 5 conference rivalry where a head coach lost to an arch rival for 7 straight years without some sort of great reason.
Riley chose to leave on his own accord. If it's because of pressure placed on him by administration, that's fine by me. What coach doesn't receive pressure after losing to your rival for 7 consecutive years? Unless you've got a great track record (a previous national championship, for example) you should feel some pressure and get asked some tough questions. Hell, you should be asking YOURSELF some tough questions.
I'm glad GA won in his second year. He won't get a chance to lose 7 in a row, for whatever the reason, and he shouldn't be allowed to have the chance to lose 7 in a row.
Here's the only comparisons last night while watching the game, and today upon reflection:
Does Riley run the ball 21 straight times after going down by 10 in the 3rd quarter?
Does Banker's defense hold the 'ucks to 24 points and less than 400 yards of total offense? For the record, his Nebraska team gave up 482 total yards this year. This is with Prukop at QB. A total of 336 Rushing Yards (Freeman was injured and only had 5 carries for 31 yards).
We'll never know the answer to those questions, but I love where our program is trending. We held the slug eaters to 284 yards of total offense. That's just insane. Even in their down year they led the PAC 12 in rushing, and their offense was still formidable, even more so with Herbert at QB.
And by the way, I'm not a "Riley Hater." Again, I wish him all the best at Nebraska unless they play the Beavers. If GA loses to the toilet seats 7 years in a row, I won't give a flying **** about his reasons or excuses. I expect him to feel pressure.
GO BEAVS! GREAT WIN!!!!!

You do realize between 2008 and 2014 the ucks worst post season ranking was #11? 4 of those 7 years they were ranked in the top 5. That might be a pretty good reason. Running a clean program vs a rule breaking program might be another. Just sayin'. Maybe I'm freaking weird, but I'm not gonna hold any coach to having to beat those odds.

Again , everyone is entitled to an opinion. The last couple of years for MR were hard to watch, the crowd booing and leaving at halftime, then not even showing up. I don't see that as a resume for a great coach. He could even have won me over again if he had made ONE CHANGE towards improvement. He did not. He remained stuck in the past with an undying loyalty to failing assistants. I do not know of any business where that is tolerated. The ducks are now in the same position with a coach that really has no business being a coach. He rode Chip Kelly's coat-tails all the way to the bank and the idiot duck 'OWNERS' were carrying the moneybags for him. Look at the hiring of Hoke. That was done to create some positive headlines, full knowing that the guy cannot coach defense. That was simply Helfrich going into job protection mode. "I cannot get someone too good or they will replace me ". Now, he is on the hot seat and why ? Because he put himself there. People that cannot change, are doomed to fail. I also LOVE where the program is heading. I loved seeing the hitting and the pressure, the blocking and the effort.... all the things WE pay to see. As regards the duck team yesterday. They just beat number 11 Utah the weekend before. They had the best talent, just the wrong coach and staff. They were ready to play, we outplayed them. We outplayed them because Andersen had a plan and it worked to perfection. Remember, the ducks were touting herbert as the next Mariotta - he had crazy good numbers, they had Royce Freeman , et al. They SHOULD have won, they DIDN'T win , because the Beavers were TOUGHER and SMARTER because of ANDERSEN and the staff. That is what I saw and it is what I believe and it is why I am proud to support the football program.
