Wow. That was an amazing football game.

OK. So our defense has heart and can come to play. And we do have playmakers on the team. I honestly can't remember two exciting comebacks in the same season, ever. That one is an all-timer. The sad thing is that it wasn't televised so I don't get to save it for future tailgating enjoyment.

That said, could we have a blowout win against someone please? I love a good comeback as much as the next person but I'm not sure I can take the stress if the rest of our wins are going to be like the last two. But hey, a win is a win, right?

This season is a big transition year for the Beavs. Young players everywhere. Lots of turnover on the sidelines and the roster. If we could just stick it out this season and get that bowl game we could be very good the next couple of seasons.

You know what I'm tiring of? All the negativity everywhere about OSU football. This has been a very trying year for the Beavers athletic dept. and us fans. Some of it is warranted and some of it is not.

Last year's off-field problems started it all. And the negativity around those incidents are warranted. One thing that I do give Bob and staff credit for is that when a problem is put in the spotlight, it seems to be addressed and steps are taken to fix things. That's why even though I was left with more questions than answers about Rachel Bachman's article about the apparent lack of support OSU football players are getting academically, I'm glad a light was shined on the situation. This needs to be fixed immediately and I know it will be.

The place where I don't feel it's warranted is when it's directed at the coaching staff. I actually heard a group of Beaver fans saying that they were "almost" rooting for the Beavs to lose so that we could maybe get rid of Riley. I'm sorry, but that's going WAAAY too far my friends. I will always root for whoever is coaching OSU to be successful. Why? Because success breeds success. If we have a 2-9 season then it doesn't matter what coach we get it's going to be a hard road back to winning. Just look at UW. They were 1-10 last year. And even with their shiny brand new coach Willingham, they will probably win no more than 3 games this season. And they are currently staring a 1-10 season in the face. That's not what I want for OSU. I want Riley to be successful because I think its good for the long term future of the program. If Riley gets his 10 win season in the next couple seasons then he could be the next Slats Gill or Ralph Miller around these parts. Stability in a program is important.

I will always support the coach as long as the players will play for him and believe in him. Read Brooks Hatch's column on this last game if you want to know how the players feel: Beavers' victory keeps rest of the season interesting. I don't think players that don't like or don't believe in their coach would have two of the greatest comebacks in school history. These kids don't quit on anyone. Least of which their coaches. So I don't think we as fans have ANY right to quit on the coaches with the track record they have had.

As always, feel free to post your comments. Pics of the game coming soon...

P.S. Gotta give a shout out to my bros Hirota, Jake "Apes", Welle, and T-Dawg. Was great seeing you at the game.
