College Football:
The latest on Conference realignment: The ACC is looking at adding Cal and Stanford…The Mountain West is considering Oregon State and Washington State.
Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith told media yesterday he wasn’t sure if the Beavers would continue their rivalry games with the Ducks…also players were following the drama of the conference upheaval but mostly focused on what’s happening at camp.
At Oregon Camp, Olympic Sprinter and NCAA Champion Micah Williams is trying to make the Ducks receiving corps. Williams hasn’t played football since his freshman year of high school but as Coach Dan Lanning told the media yesterday ‘you can’t coach fast’.
College Basketball: The OSU Men will play against Baylor November 22nd in the NIT Season Tip-Off in New York. The Beavers were previously announced as part of the 4 team tournament in May. Now we know they’ll play the Bears first, and then either Florida or Pittsburgh.
