Top College Football Stadiums

Check out this link for a list of the top college football venues. Take note of Beaver Stadium (Penn State) at #1 one. Also in the list Sun Devil Stadium (ASU) #9 and Autzen Stadium (U of Oregon) alsom make the top ten.

It's nice to see some love from View from North America for the West Coast.

I would add, The Swamp in Gainesville (U of Florida) and The Rosebowl (for the Rose Bowl game) some where in my own list. Also, Husky Stadium when UW is good deserves a mention.

Former Beaver Released By Redskins

Kyle Devan who signed as an undrafted rooked this spring was recently released by the Washington Redskins .

We hope Kyle catches on with another team soon.

Josh Hamilton Goes Hog Wild

I hope you had a chance to see the Home Run Derby last night. If you didn't - Josh Hamilton of Texas went crazy in the first round and set a record with 28 dingers. More than a few where tape measure shots... close to 520 feet. He was clearly trying to hit the ball "OUT" of Yankee Stadium.

He ended up getting second overall but what a great 10 minutes.



Wow! Again, what a great display of hitting.

Catching Up With DA

I hope all the Derek Anderson fans saw this article in The Oregonian yesterday. In gives some insight into DA's work in Scappoose and his committment to his roots. His camp sounds like a low-cost event and hey Steven Jackson and Mike Hass were on hand. How excited would you be to if you were 14 years old and attended his camp???

I will help you waste some time

The dog days are upon us. I know how many five year-olds I can take. Do you???

Will OSU Players Get the Call?

The NFL Draft is tomorrow. Pop some corn and get to the couch for this marathon event.

Here's a few guesses on where some former Oregon State players may land:

Roy Schuening, Guard - 3 Round (may go as high as Round 2)

See a nice Q & A from www.profootballweekly

Long shots - not likely to be drafted. Could latch on as a free agent.
Yvenson Bernard, RB
Alexis Serna, PK
Gerard Lawson - CB, Special Teams
Joey LaRocque - LB
Derrick Doggett - LB
Kyle Devan - OL

Beaver Kicker Featured on ESPN.com

You can't miss the fact that the NFL Draft will take place this weekend. Of the Beavers that may get drafted or sign free agent contracts is former All America placekicker Alexis Serna.




Beaver fans know the story... Walk on Freshman misses extra points at LSU against the defending national champions as OSU loses heartbreaker. Kicker earns scholarship and All America honors (Lou Groza winner too) on the way to 8th best points total all time.

Here's a nice story on www.ESPN.com

Let's get some more Beaver players into the NFL.

New Basketball Coach to Throw First Pitch

Catch the OSU baseball team this weekend in Corvallis as #10 ranked Stanford comes to town. As part of Friday's festivities new men's basketabll coach Craig Robinson will throw out ceremonial first pitch. First pitch: 5 p.m.

Beavers Hire New Coach

The Oregon State men's basketball team finally hired a new coach. We will have more about this soon. For now you can hear the scoop from the horses mouth. That would be from Director of Athletics Bob De Carolis tomorrow on KPAM 860 AM.

See you there: Wednesday, April 9 at 8:39 a.m.

Beaver Hoops Taken To Task In the Jungle

File this one in the "As if things can't get any worse" category....

Jim Rome today spent a few moments blasting the Beavers on his live radio program, "The Jim Rome Show".

The Beavers are suffering through a horrible men's hoops season. Winless in Pac-10 play, the Beaver players for some reason went hostile this weekend before their game against Washington this weekend. Apparently, five OSU players disrupted the UW shoot-around on Friday and called out the UW players. They were reported as saying something to effect of 'Don't disrespect us in spite of our record'. I can only guess that the Beavers were looking for some extra motivation before the next day's game. Well, it didn't work as the Huskies won by more than 30 points.

Rome was quoted as saying, "Back to the shallow end Beavers". The hits just keep on coming!

Trouble In Red Sox Outfield?

While Red Sox fans and OSU fans in particular have celebrated heartilly this offseason, it looks like all is not well. Spring training is underway and centerfileder Coco Crisp who was supplanted by Jacoby Ellsbury late in the season and throughout the playoffs is grumbling. At issue is Crisp's demotion to the bench and his desire to remain in the starting lineup. Ellsbury, the heralded young star from Madras, Ore. and Oregon State made a huge jump last year from Double A ball to the starting lineup. Ellsbury batted .353 last year and was huge at the top of the lineup as the Sox won the World Series.

Back from the dead

Hello blog readers,
I didn't die but I have been on hiatus for the past month or so. My self imposed vacation had alot to do with Oregon State's struggles through the 2007-08 basketball season. I guess 0-for-2008 in the Pac-10 will do that.

Anyway... I am back and hope you are all gearing up for baseball season and have renenewed your football tickets.

Go Beavs!
