The Belligerent Beavs Podcast

Oregon State just hung 66 on San Diego State. The Aztecs had six first downs. Somehow, that wasn't even the most surreal part of our week: Mike Parker invited the Belligerent Beavs onto The Joe Beaver Show.JP, Terry, and Benny come down from a 66-14 win and a bucket-list radio appearance to answer listener Josh's question: how much credit does GM Eron Hodges deserve for building this team, and what happens when everyone else comes for Braden Atkinson and Jesse Legree? Then it's the genius of Mitch Dahlen: Maalik Murphy catching a touchdown from Atkinson, the offense using its whole roster, and plays that feel three situations ahead instead of three drinks deep.Benny gives the defense its flowers, the boys argue about Boise State and the playoff, and Terry makes JP and Benny remember increasingly obscure Beavs from the 68-28 Montana State game, the 77-3 Nicholls State game, and a 66-13 demolition of Washington State in 2008. Finally, hear the actual Joe Beaver Show segment as all three bail on their preseason WSU predictions: JP says 45-13, Benny says 52-7, Terry says 35-10. Yes, Mike Parker listened to all of that.Send your questions: belligerentbeavs.com/ask.Go Beavs. Chop em.#GoBeavs #OregonStateFootball #Pac12 #JesseLegree #BradenAtkinson #MikeParker

Braden Atkinson has entered the nervous system. Please remain calm. Apparently we can do that now.Oregon State football beat UTEP 33-7, and Terry is joined by About DAM Time's Ashtyn Butuso and Tim Barnes to figure out how JaMarcus Shephard's Beavs got this far ahead of their expectations. Braden Atkinson's pocket presence, Jesse Legree's ridiculous emergence, and Mike MacIntyre's defense have them buying in before Colorado State, and arguing over how much running game this passing attack actually needs.JP and Benny are away, so the guests take over, Terry survives, and a football conversation turns into a full-body assessment of the starting quarterback. There's a closed-bar watch party, a swag-surfing investigation, actual defensive insight from Tim's Oregon State coaching days, and a firm request to stop grieving hypothetical transfers while these dudes are still wearing orange and black.🎙️ About DAM Time takes over - with significantly less yelling at Terry.🧠 Braden Atkinson, pocket peace, and the birth of “Braden and my body.”🦫 Jesse Legree is ours right now. Let us enjoy the damn football.🛑 MacIntyre's defense: fewer explosives, better tackling, and pressure from everywhere.🏈 AJ Newberry's big UTEP day and the debate over a pass-first offense.🔮 Colorado State picks, an abstention, and pets with game-day responsibilities.Hope is back. Nobody move the cat.#OregonStateFootball #GoBeavs #BradenAtkinson #JesseLegree #JaMarcusShephard #Pac12 #ColoradoStateFootball #GoBeavs

Oregon State is 0-2, but this does not feel like the same program that spent the last two years searching for answers.The Beavs went toe-to-toe with No. 13 Texas Tech, took a fourth-quarter lead and piled up 472 yards before letting a very winnable game slip away, 35-24. Braden Atkinson threw for 413 yards, Jesse Legree went absolutely nuclear for 240 and two touchdowns, and Oregon State showed it can legitimately move the ball against one of the most expensive rosters in college football.The guys break down what went right, what went wrong and why the fourth-quarter offense suddenly felt like it was playing not to lose. They get into the questionable officiating, Oregon State’s massive improvement from Houston to Texas Tech, a surprisingly strong performance in the trenches and the increasingly obvious reality that Atkinson and Legree have become the identity of this offense.Then there’s the bigger question: what does Oregon State expect to be now? Dylan Layne wasn’t interested in applause for almost beating Texas Tech. JaMarcus Shephard has spent two weeks insisting the standard is higher than that. After years of Beaver fans learning to appreciate a good showing against a better team, maybe the program itself is finally done with that mentality.Up next is undefeated Montana, and Oregon State suddenly has a different kind of problem: how much should the Beavs force a running game that still hasn’t arrived when the passing attack is working this well?Plus: Benny turns 40, JP embraces Daddy Ball, the boys attempt to resurrect Sharper Image and SkyMall, and somehow Delta Airlines ends up with a completely free business idea.#GoBeavs #OregonState #OregonStateFootball #BradenAtkinson #JesseLegree #JaMarcusShephard #Montana #Pac12 #CollegeFootball
