Barnum buying the beer at Portland State game

Post by JALMOND »

Portland State coach Bruce Barnum will buy the beer for everyone 21 and older at the Portland State/Western Oregon game on Saturday.

If you are in the area come on out. You can wear your school colors but you have to cheer for the Viks. :lol:

Desperate? How?

PSU is the one famous for Pokey Allen, who once rode a donkey down Broadway Ave in Portland, and who would let the fans decide on whether a play would be a pass or a run. Allen would do anything to get people to come see PSU football.

His first season as head coach at PSU, Barnum would buy two beers for the fans whenever PSU would win.

Whenever you play in the shadow of two successful Pac-12 schools, you will do what you need to do to get butts in the seats. This weekend, the Ducks and Beavers are playing home games at the same time as the Viks. Needed to think of something to get people there.

Read actually came out of Sacramento State, having played there in the 1950's. Pokey Allen actually was a Montana guy, graduating from Hellgate High School (I believe). Left Missoula and went to Portland. Smart guy.

Yes, but he came directly FROM PSU to Montana in ‘85.

And then promptly lost to PSU and Pokey Allen in '87. Former Missoulian beat Read the Traitor in Missoula. :thumb:

Scoreboard. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
Read: 2 Conference titles in 11 years at Montana. Allen: 5 Conference titles in 7 years at PSU.

Read: 19 wins in 5 years at PSU (his second term). Nigel Burton: 21 wins in 5 years at PSU.

Take away Read's outlier in 1983 when he went 8-3 that year at PSU, he won 11 games in 4 years. Compared to Jerry Glanville's 9 wins in 4 years.

Need I go on? :|

That’s cute you have to resort to “conference” titles. We strive a little higher here at UM. :coffee: :coffee:

It always astounded me how he even got hired at Montana given his coaching record at PSU. Seriously. he wouldn’t get a SNIFF today with that historical performance….just tells you how badly Larry Donovan’s teams performed that Read’s record/performance was considered an upgrade. :lol:

UM football certainly didn't care about "striving a little higher" when Read got there, nor for the first eight years that he was there. Read took the reins from Davis and PSU football fell flat. Allen came in when Read left and took the program higher. The coaching efforts of both Davis and Allen got PSU to the big time. Nothing that Read did at PSU got us close to that level. And yes, one could argue that if it wasn't for the mess that Donovan left, Read would not have lasted as long as he did at UM.

That's not what you said. You made the bald statement that "nothing good ever came out of PSU," without any reference to leaving PSU to coach at Montana. Hence the citation of Mouse Davis, Neil Lomax, and Julius Thomas ARE, indeed relevant (though I HIGHLY dislike Thomas because he went to the wrong high school)....

I don’t disagree. There’s no WAY he’d get the kind of rope now that he did in ‘85-‘94 before finally winning it all.

Hard to say. The Griz were 57-87-2 over the previous 14 years, so winning 6-7 games most every season from 1986-92 seemed pretty damn good at the time (and they did go to the Semis in '89).

Desperate? How?

PSU is the one famous for Pokey Allen, who once rode a donkey down Broadway Ave in Portland, and who would let the fans decide on whether a play would be a pass or a run. Allen would do anything to get people to come see PSU football.

Hence the desperation. And for clarity, I'm not knocking this move to get people to tune in.
