We had one Year after 2000 season we played for Rose Bowl 65-38. Horrible watching chimp Kelly’s team run a fake punt on us. Yes we can be in top 30 sometimes. We seemed to win very few road games. We used to get drilled by Boise which reminded Me of the Fresno thumping. I was told by athletic dept employee honestly the pool we swim in. It disappointed Me at the time. Mediocre and low aspirations. A bad problem in my book. Riley achieved AP top 25 rank in 8 of his 14 years. Riley finished the season with an AP top 25 rank in 4 of those years. Yeah, we have been beaten (badly) by the Boise States of the world or even the Sacramento States of the world... We have also beaten the #1 team in the nation with Riley, (and the #3). We have toppled top 25 ranked teams and pulled stunning upsets. He took a historic 28 year losing program to 8 bowl games and won 6 of them. All of that note to say Riley was great (though I do think he was pretty darn good) but to say that Oregon State, 100% can and should be a team that gets back to the 2006-2009 level of expectation. Playing for the Rose Bowl, winning 36 games in 4 seasons, Going to bowl games every year, being in the rankings every year and yes, even finishing in the them two. We had a nice 4 year run where we good. not elite, but certainly quite good. To me that is neither mediocre nor a low aspiration. It is simply a place we have been to before and should be able to be at again.

Mediocre and low aspirations. A bad problem in my book. The weekend before that game we played in Tucson. I think Arizona needed that game to get bowl eligible. I'm not sure. Quiz got hurt early and only had a couple of carries. His older brother dropped a perfectly thrown ball on a go route where he had two steps on the defender. We missed a potential game tying extra point with 2 or 3 minutes to go. Yet, we won. It was frickin beautiful. Don't miss or forget the joy because things almost never work out perfectly.

It is simply a place we have been to before and should be able to be at again. More importantly, that is a mark that we need to hit in order to become great. We first have to finish in the top half of the Pac 12 consistently. Then we have to be in the race for the title...consistently. Once we can stay in the headlines, the rest will write itself.

Good luck with that Portland State. It's going to be survival mode for all of college athletics even if they play only a partial season with no fans. You can't get blood from a turnip.

Point PSU to Okie State. We lost them and the revenue.

We’re not getting our paycheck from OAN Gundy either😝 Depends how the OSU-PSU contract is written. Wouldn't at all surprise me if OSU has to pay PSU. And then if OSU wants to go after Larry/the league, that's their prerogative, but that's not PSU's problem. If we end up having to pay PSU, I'm sure we will not see PSU scheduled ever again. It would be a great win for PSU right now, but it would hurt them greatly down the road. I'm sure no Pac-12 team would schedule them again if they fought that hard to get a paycheck when all programs are struggling.

Just ask all the businesses that tried to file claims for business interruption insurance during this pandemic. OSU could also claim force majeure in regards to the contract. No way in hell we’re paying them a dime.

I'm going to start using that term "force manure" on a regular basis.

I mean... he ain't wrong? not sure he needed the snark. maybe saying no way in hell is a bit bold, as nothing in law or life is ever certain. Most real contracts have act of god, pandemic and other rare event clauses in them. and of course, COVID being a force majeure event is something that will be battled in courts local and high for years to come.
