In today's podcast, we talk with Travis Jones, Univeristy of Idaho graduate and former resident
of Boise to get the low-down on the Boise area in advance of the Oregon State vs. Boise State
football game. Get the inside scoop on where to tailgate and hang out in Boise, plus a sneek
peek at the OSU - Vandal game in two weeks.
Season and Five on Why We Won't
I've got ten reasons why the Oregon State Beavers will have a successful 2006 football campaign
and five reasons why we won't. Listen to find out the strengths and weaknesses of this year's
team, and what we need to do to make it back to a bowl game.
Beaver football season is here!
After a long wait, we're focusing all of our attention on the upcoming practices and the 2006
season. We've got recruiting news, player news, predictions and even a Riley vs. Erickson
comparison. Can Oregon State compete for the Pac 10 championship? -- I think so!
OSU Beaver fans are so accustomed to seeing their team underachieve and break our hearts. The
2006 Beaver baseball team is the ultimate exception. They did nothing but overachieve and excel
at the highest level. Today, we celebrate their efforts with some audio clips from OSU radio
annoucer Mike Parker and some discussion about the team and how this will hopefully carry over
to other sports like football.
Today, we talk with Dan Norz at Beaverfootball.com who provided us with some insight on
Spring practice, what's happening on the recruiting front and what's ahead for the Beavers in
August. With a few days of down time before the Beavs head for Omaha and the College World
Series, let's talk some Beaver football!
It was a great weekend for the Beavs, with the baseball team clinching at least a share of the Pac 10
championship with a sweep of Wazzu and the Beaver softball team advancing to the Super
Regionals in the NCAA softball tournament. The wins set up a great weekend of baseball and
softball this week; the baseball team hosts second place UCLA, looking to clinch sole possession
of the Pac 10 title, and the softball team hosts Cal, with the winner advancing to the College World
Series.
Also, the DC Beavs (National Capital Chapter of the OSU Alumni Association) took care of
business in the DC Civil War Softball game Saturday, crushing the hapless Ducks 13-7. Beaver
players exchanged "High Fours" in celebration of the fourth consecutive win over the team from
Speugene.
It's been 16 years since Paris McCurdy, star player for Ball State, broke the hearts of OSU Beaver
fans with his game winning shot in Round 1 of the 1990 NCAA Tournament. Tonight, we say
goodbye to a curse.

Pick up the phone and schedule a real opponent! D-IIA games are pathetic, and it's not like there
aren't teams to choose from!! We haven't played a team from Colorado since Reagan was in office,
and we've never played a couple of decent teams in Colorado State and Air Force.
