PAC 10 upsets? Leave it to Beavers
Last month, Oregon State finally won a national championship -- in
baseball. Will the rising tide lift all Beavers?
Maybe, although it would be a stretch to call Mike Riley's OSU football
team a contender for a BCS championship. Still, the Oregon State Beavers
have an intriguing team, and they have four of their toughest PAC 10
opponents -- Cal, USC, Arizona State and Oregon -- at home ...

Chatting with Saints Receiver Mike Hass
This week it was the pleasure of the Super Saints Weekly to speak with
Saints rookie receiver Mike Hass. Hass was selected on the second day of
the draft by the Saints in the 6th round. A wide receiver out of Oregon
State, Mike Hass is 6 ‘1’ 208 lbs, but has proven on the field in
college that his play is truly unmeasurable. While Mike found amazing
success in college, going from a walk-on to being a vital part of his
team’s offensive success, he has managed to keep a confident, yet humble
approach and a workman like attitude when it comes to football ...

Running back Coleman to transfer from
UNLV; possibly to Oregon State
UNLV pulled off a recruiting coup in February 2005, finally convincing a
local football player to stay in town rather than rush off elsewhere.
Torrie Coleman from Cheyenne High was more than just a local player,
however. He was one of the top signees in coach Mike Sanford's first
recruiting class, a running back with the potential to elevate the
Rebels ...

COMMITMENT: Long journey home for Cole
If Michael Cole had verbally committed to Oregon State out of high
school, he probably would have had to pinch himself, for surely he had
just had a nightmare. It just wasn't going to happen. But Cole has gone
through a lot since those days as a Lake Oswego Laker, and now a verbal
commitment to the OSU Beavers feels as good as a trip back home ..

Beavers' Wallace carres on family
tradition
Before the biggest baseball game of his life, Oregon State freshman John Wallace sat in the dugout and sent his mom a text message on her cell
phone.
The Beavers stood on the brink of elimination against North Carolina in
the College World Series last month. Wallace casually zipped "Happy
Birthday" to Vicki Wallace's seat in the stands at Rosenblatt Stadium in
Omaha, Neb ... more from

Is Mike Riley greater than Pat Casey?
Who is more valuable to Oregon State, Mike Riley or Pat Casey? Pat Casey
might be the obvious answer, which begs the question: Why is Pat Casey
paid nearly one-eighth the salary of an unproven football coach?
Even the gods of common sense, reason and
logic don’t understand why. Speaking of which, someone in the front
office should lob a phone call to Spock about Casey’s salary. Maybe he
can show the logic behind Pat Casey getting a meager $100,000 a year.
Even Chris Coffin thinks Casey is getting screwed ...
