I had a chance to tune into Yankee pitcher Andy Pettite’s press conference today. I don’t want to over-analyze a situation which appears to be slowing in the wake of last week’s congressional hearings (until an indictment is handed down), […]

Beavers trip, fall to Washington
To say tensions were high was to call a stoner worthless. Unnecessary. Both coaches have probably never seen anything like it before. Fans are probably in the same boat. Either way, Washington took out Oregon State 97-59 Saturday night. This […]
A Rumble At Gill…?
Just a link for all of the readers. The Seattle P-I, has a piece on an incident that turned almost violent Friday at Gill between a few OSU hoopsters and a couple of Huskies at the end of UW’s practice.An […]
Camping With The Big Boys
Spring Training camps have begun with pitchers and catchers arriving this week. A few former Beavers are set to break their first big league camp or just in big league camp once again (Jacoby). St. Louis Cardinals – Infielder Brian […]
Power Shift

Rooney Rule For NCAA Hires?
Interesting column in tomorrow’s NYT. That’s right, here before daylight. William C. Rhoden makes an argument–and a solid one at that, for a “Rooney Rule” for Division-I programs looking to fill coaching vacancies. Maybe there is a problem here. During […]
Cardinal Get 40th Victory All-Time Against OSU Women
Not only was the crowd full of pink as OSU took on Stanford in the “Think Pink” basketball game, but the Beavers adorned pink shoelaces, wristband and socks while the referees called the game with pink whistles. Across the country, […]
Political Sports Theatre
This entire Brian McNamee v. Roger Clemens thing is beginning to look like a 12 round bout. At this round–which I assume to be either the 6th or 7th, Clemens has so far attacked McNamee with a nasty PR smear […]
