First formal Oregon State availability report of the season:
CB situation vs. Colorado State now an emergency with Kai Wheaton out, Trey Glasper questionable
“He's got a bad knee, doesn't really work on his physical fitness, I doubt that he's all of a sudden become an elite-level shooter, and he's small. So you have that, you've got a bad defender who's a small guard who can't shoot, who physically is unfit, paired next to a small guard who's a bad defender and who can shoot [in Lillard]. So probably going to be tough.”

NEW: The Trail Blazers' ownership has picked a contractor for potential Moda Center work, per Portland Mayor Keith Wilson.
PCL Construction - based in Canada. Wilson says "90 to 95%" of employment would be local. Unclear on if that means union jobs.

The Beavs really went from a backup QB calling out teammates for quitting in the season opener last year, to one of the leaders on defense taking accountability for giving up a garbage time TD to Montana. Has there ever been a faster transformation of culture in CFB? #GoBeavs

👀 Hay un ejecutivo anónimo de la Conferencia Oeste que cree que los Portland Trail Blazers están listos para apretar el gatillo ante cualquier oportunidad.
“Creo que están con el dedo inquieto en el gatillo. Recibieron mucha prensa negativa por motivos que escapan a su control, o al menos al control de la gente de básquet. Así que creo que quienes toman las decisiones deportivas tienen una motivación extra para hacer que pasen cosas y lograr que este equipo vuelva a ser relevante, sin importar todo lo demás que esté ocurriendo”.
Oregon State really has something man
HC JaMarcus Shephard is the real deal
They found something in Braden Atkinson at QB
Jesse Legree is the best freshman WR in CFB
Following his decommitment from Boise State earlier today, Oregon State looks in prime flip position for talented Eugene (Ore.) Willamette '28 QB Zeke Thomas

What a total crock of shit. We aren't picking sides? We just bring people on every week to rant and stump for one side with zero push back or opposing view? Then then you have the balls to pull the I don't know anything about Ted Cruz? Disingenuous doesn't do this justice
