Good news. We already knew about the rules changes, but here is some more recent news about how the NCAA will be officiating games this year, including blending referees from different conferences.

TWO interesting things have happened in the last day with media coverage for OSU, and BOTH of them are positive.
Dan Fouts will no longer be broadcasting with ABC . This is bad for MANLYBEARD fans, but good for four reasons:
We won't have to listen to him cry when calls go against oregon on games he is broadcasting.
We won't have to listen to him complain when ...

At BtD, we LOVE Bob DeCarolis and we have an ongoing series to prove it!
Needless to say, we were all excited when Bob DeCarolis had an in-depth interview last week on the Joe Beaver Show. (the volume is unpredictably: loud, too quiet, and way too loud, so be careful.) Starts 4 minutes in on this segment ... picks up after commercial and then again ...

A small tidbit in the Sunday Oregonian (8/17/08) had me snorting pancake crumbs all over the table...
Bengals' reciever (and former Oregon State standout) Chad Johnson has filed papers to legally change his name to Chad Ocho Cinco, after his number, 85.
Pure hilarity, quite a great way to dodge those onerous fines from The Commish. It's only a matter of time before the Portland ...

SURPRISE! Scrimmage . There were 4 plays over 60
yards-- none of them involving Sammie Stroughter. Stolen via www.osubeavers.com It's never good when the offense is ahead of ...
Our "Prose on Pros" series continues today with a look at Mariner's backup catcher Jamie Burke. Burke (not to be confused with this Jamie Burke ) played both football and baseball at Oregon State in the early '90's. At the age of 35 and after 14 years in the minors, he's finally found a home with the (last place) Mariners. We now welcome in Jeff from Lookout Landing to tell ...

RB Ryan McCants , Oregon State – Like a young Steven Jackson, McCants has the thick frame and quick feet to become the third freshman to rush for 1,000 yards in the Mike Riley era. With Yvenson Bernard out of eligibility and the passing game unreliable, he’s poised to immediately become the focal point of the offense. On the scout team and in the spring, he was a load ...

Nike Sabotages USC With Jock Itch Infested Shorts!
"...the Trojans are hoping for similar luck with what Carroll delicately referred to as chafing.
"We've had to adjust to some new equipment that we're wearing that didn't work out right," he said. "It's funny how that happened."
Maybe not so funny to the players.
"Sometimes they can't walk," said tailback Stafon Johnson, who ...
