You are already +5, but this post deserves a posbang.

i just saw that on ESPN too, and just to be more specific the beaver was awarded for causing a fumble

Glad to see he was every bit as awkward in the 90's as he was in his short tenure here.

Beaver talk starts around 3:10

Finally. Now if they could just explain that damn pineapple from that HIMYM episode.
October 19th, 2012 at 5:17 PM ^
The big question from that episode is why Ted didn't marry Winnie Cooper.

Haha I love how Bill Romanowski, one of the craziest people ever, thought Gerg was crazy when he pulled out a stuffed beaver in practice and yelled, "The beaver is out! The beaver is out!" Oh, Gerg. It was fun. If you define fun as having your eyes clawed out by a rabid beaver.

So what was in the brief case in pulp fiction? Was it his soul or just a plot device?
It was a very bright, gold-colored fluorescent light.

Interviewer: "What do you use this for?" *clearly talking about the beaver*
Robinson: "Use THIS ... for?" *perhaps thinking she meant Jets CB Eric Thomas*
Great confusion there.

OK, Gerg, We're the freakin' Wolverines, are we not? Why not use a wolverine instead of a beaver while acting as our d-coordinator at least? If you personally believe beavers are better, then I can't blame you for using them while coaching for any of your other teams. However, if I was a wolverine.. I'd take it very harshly that you used a beaver instead of one of my own while coaching the Wolverines. I mean, it doesn't make sense really. If we were the Michigan Ducks, I'd understand. I'm sure a beaver could kill a duck quite handily. But a wolverine would absolutely DESTROY a beaver. I honestly think more people would have understood him if he used a wolverine instead of a beaver to help motivate our defense, and honestly.. he might have even received some props for that.
EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW.

Dude. Chill. He's gone. The pain is over.
October 19th, 2012 at 5:00 PM ^
What beaver?
Damn that was an uncomfortable 10 seconds
October 19th, 2012 at 5:05 PM ^
I will never understand the thought process behind trying to motivate grown men using a stuffed animal.
Never.
October 19th, 2012 at 6:04 PM ^
...is an old, old idea. Robinson seems to have misunderstood the concept, though.

Can someone explain Dr. Laura's?
Edit: Do not google Dr. Laura's beaver.

scarred for life now
thanks a lot, bro'
October 19th, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
... never mention Gerg and the Beaver again? I'm not frustrated by the frequency of occurences, it's just that I'm not over it yet. Still makes me angry.
October 19th, 2012 at 5:57 PM ^
on the eve of the MSU game. As a former Rich Rod supporter, I have to say that my ardor has cooled for those good old days.
October 19th, 2012 at 5:57 PM ^
That fumble turned out to be critical in holding Wisconsin under 50 points.
Definitely beaver-worthy.
October 19th, 2012 at 7:06 PM ^
Actually now that you have reminded me of that game, I need to go drink now.

An excuse to dig this one out...

Don't think that he understood that it was not the stuffed animal that motivated the NFL players, but it was the stack of cash for hard hits/forced turnovers/etc. that they were playing for that motivated them.
Thought the whole stuffed animal thing was weird before, after seeing him today talking or not talking about it, it is actually really creepy.
October 19th, 2012 at 7:02 PM ^
The beaver thing starts about 3 minutes in.
October 19th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
Bill Romanowski, Kenny Demmens feel's ya bro!
October 19th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
with more wins in college football than any other, which also happens to have as its mascot the wolverine, reknowned for its ferocity, and he comes up with a "beaver" to reward hard hits?!
October 20th, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
He's been doing it since his NFL days in the 90s!! He uses beaver because a beaver is the most dillegent animal in the animal kingdom.
It's a metaphor for working hard. It's stupid.

I couldn't find a picture of her, but I bet she's a GILF
October 20th, 2012 at 8:21 AM ^
Is the term "beaver" still apt in today's slang lexicon? If you know what I'm getting at....and I think you do....
October 20th, 2012 at 10:08 AM ^
No, it's completely obsolete. It has not been used for years.
All the comments and video clips in the last 50 posts on this thread that appear to be using the term "beaver" as slang for something else, are of course talking about an actual beaver.
