Oregonian Sports: Who is a spring football game for, how should Blazers feel about Damian Lillard’s playoff performance?
Why did Oregon State’s spring game on Saturday leave both Bill Oram and Brenna Greene of KOIN feeling a little underwhelmed?
There are plenty of reasons, including the lack of participation among the Beavers’ few recognizable names and a missed opportunity to ramp up the fan experience.
What other takeaways did they have from the Spring Showcase? They get into all of that — including the quarterback who was most impressive — on this episode of the Oregonian Sports Podcast.
Also discussed:
• Ways that OSU could spruce up its spring affair
• Why Oregon’s upcoming spring game is intriguing
• How Blazers fans should feel after watching Damian Lillard torch the nets in the Bucks’ Game 1 win

Customer Reviews
Better than Blazer Focused but….
Why did we give Aaron another Pod to complain, whine and act uniformed on? The bottom line is that Aaron Fentress doesn’t have a lot of insight or information to share that we can’t find on a google search. Bill Orem is truly a treasure, offers great insight, knowledge of the game, and insider info. Aaron meanwhile just name drops and compares everybody to Michael Jordan, Wilt, Lebron, KD, Steph and Magic, because those seem to be the only basketball players he knows.
So Bill gives this Pod the 3 stars.
Then the other end (0 stars) is when Aaron starts going on a rant about how people don’t like the WNBA because not as many of the players regularly dunk and I got to watch my wife’s face as she cringed through listening to that. Really innovative analysis Aaron.
Just ditch Aaron, go all Bill and Brenna. And let Aaron just do Blazer Focused where he actively complains about how much work he puts into covering the team, seems to have no interest in the Blazers besides getting the paycheck and regularly gets owned by Craig for not knowing any players outside of the Blazers roster and the top 2-3 players on every team.
Maybe we should reconsider Aaron fentress
I love listening to a good podcast that makes me learn more about the game I love. Unfortunately Aaron fentress does not creat more learning, he sticks to hair raising takes who’s only audience is outside of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
Less Aaron Fentress please
Bill Oram and Brenna Greene are great. Fentress brings nothing to the table and is brutal to listen to.
