New era of Beaver Basketball opens tonight

Much of Beaver Nation is looking forward to the new era of Beaver basketball under new coach Craig Robinson. He’s been getting plenty of press not so much about basketball but about his role in the new First Family.

I heard this on NPR on the way home last night (podcast at the site). I think it really encompasses the crazy swirl of media that surrounds the program right now. We certainly hope it doesn’t distract from the rebuilding of the program. By the sounds of this interview, Coach Rob has his focus and that of his team on the right things.

Good luck, Coach Rob and the Beavers!
GO BEAVS!

Busy Month on the Campaign Trail

Blake — Wed, 14 May 2008 21:49:26 +0000

It has been an incredibly busy month in the State of Oregon and here in Corvallis with respect to the political campaigns. Both the Democrats have visited the Corvallis/Albany area within the last couple of weeks and John McCain was in Portland within that time frame as well. Here are some images and video from the campaign trail here in Oregon.

John McCain at his renewable energy speech in Portland:

(Note: I couldn’t find any other good images of McCain’s appearance in PDX…If you all have any, send ‘em my way!)

Also, hanging out with OSU Men’s hoop coach and Brother in Law, Craig Robinson:

PHEW! It has been crazy here in the Beaver State!! It promises to only get crazier as the May 20th primary gets closer.

To those of you who are registered voters in the State of Oregon, don’t forget to vote! Ballots must be received by the 20th. Postmarks DO NOT count.

That’s all for now! Comment away if you have questions.

Craig Robinson Announced as OSU’s next Men’s Hoops Coach

Blake — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:42:20 +0000

The OSU Admissions Blog is happy to welcome former Brown University coach Craig Robinson to Beaver Nation. Coach Robinson’s press conference at Gill Coliseum just wrapped up. My favorite quote:

“5:30 am happens to be my favorite time of day. So, we practice at 5:30 am. That is, until these guys (OSU B-Ball Team) show they can do they things the way I want them done…Then we’ll start practicing at a time that is more reasonable to them.”

Coach Robinson was Head Coach at Brown for two years. He quickly turned the perennial Ivy League Doormat BU Bears into winners. Coach Brown received his BA in Sociology from Princeton where he was two time Ivy League Player of the Year. He went on the the University of Chicago where he received an MBA in Finance.

Congrats Coach Robinson and GO BEAVS!
