Moore
takes shot at NFL with some sharp passing
He wasn't invited to the NFL combine. He doesn't have the "Are you
kidding me?" arm strength of someone such as JaMarcus Russell of
Louisiana State, and he won't raise any eyebrows with his bench press
or his vertical leap, but former Oregon State quarterback Matt Moore is still a decent bet to make an NFL roster.
About 21/2 months
removed from his most valuable player performance in the Sun Bowl, Moore
worked out Friday at Reser Stadium during OSU's Pro Day, making crisp,
accurate throws in front of a gaggle of scouts who also got another look
at draft hopefuls Joe Newton, Sabby Piscitelli
and Adam Koets ... more

Spring
look around the Pac-10
Spring key: The headlines will focus on the quarterback competition between
touted Sean Canfield and scrappy Lyle Moevao.
It might not be the coronation for Canfield that many fans believe -- Moevao
already has been compared to savvy former QB Jonathan Smith
-- but Canfield is the favorite. Whoever wins, he'll have great talent to
work with at receiver and with TB Yvenson Bernard. The
Beavers also have voids at tight end, strong safety left tackle and two
spots on the defensive line ... more

Bernard,
Beavers expect to contend in Pac-10
It takes guts to spurn a tie and go for two and the victory. It's a decision
that often requires a coach to reach deep into his playbook for something
fancy and unexpected.
Oregon State coach Mike Riley thought about doing that
in the Sun Bowl against Missouri after tailback Yvenson Bernard the Beavers'
emotional leader, suggested they go for two during an official review
of the touchdown play with 22 seconds remaining that had set the game
on the cusp of overtime ... more

| Beavs continue
winning ways, sweep San Franciso, improve to 20-3
Chris Hopkins was 4-for-4 with a home run, a double and two runs
batted in as Oregon State beat San Francisco 11-1 in the first game of
the three part series at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field. Mike Stutes
and Anton Maxwell combined to pitch a three-hitter for
the Beavers (18-3 overall), with Stutes striking out 11 in his eight innings
of work.
In the second game
of the series, John Wallace’s three-run homer highlighted
Oregon State’s seven-run first inning as the Beavers beat San Francisco
9-2.. Mitch Canham added a two-run homer and Joe
Paterson pitched six innings for the win for OSU (19-3 overall),
which now has a season-high eight-game winning streak.
In the final game,
Drew George doubled home the tying run with two outs
in the ninth inning, then scored the game-winner on Jordan Lennerton’s
single as Oregon State beat San Francisco 3-2. The Beavers (20-3 overall)
stretched their winning streak to a season-high nine games.
OSU now visits Cal
Poly for a series next Saturday at 6 p.m., Sunday at 1 p.m. and Monday
at 1 p.m. The Beavers then open Pacific-10 play at Arizona from March
30-April 1 before returning home to play Southern California from April
5-7.

Oregon
State's baseball team proves it's not resting on its laurels after 2006
College World Series title
It's supposed to be unrealistic -- and maybe even a dirty trick -- to compare
a national championship team to the one that follows it, but the team Oregon
State has assembled this season is proving worthy of the comparison.
OSU fans want to know who is going to succeed the stars of last June's
College World Series victors -- Cole Gillespie, Jonah Nickerson, Kevin Gunderson, Tyler Graham, Shea McFeely, Dallas Buck, Bill Rowe, Chris Kunda

OSU still at
a corner, trying to figure out how to turn it
For the past four years, Kyle Jeffers poured his heart, soul and sweat into
the Oregon State men's basketball program.
Jeffers' senior season ended in disappointment as the Beavers fell short
of expectations. In fact, that was a recurring theme throughout the four-year
starter's college career ... more
