College Football:  

Oregon State head coach Jonathon Smith said he won’t use the ‘milking’ gesture again if he wants the offense to run out the clock this week against the Golden Bears..If you Know, You Know… If not, you haven’t been on the internet this week… Smith is also being mentioned as a candidate for the Michigan State job. The 4 and 1 Beavers go to Berkely Saturday night to face 3 and 2 Cal.

Number 8 Oregon is preparing for number 7 Washington next Saturday the 14th in Seattle. Coaches say they’re using the bye week to look at not only the Huskies but the other ranked teams the Ducks play this month- Washington State and Utah. 

NBA: 

The Portland Trail Blazers Training camp on the UC Santa Barbara campus opened with a three hour session yesterday. The 21 player roster has seven rookies and five first year players. Jerami Grant and Malcolm Brogdon are the only two players with more than five years of experience. Brogdon is still mentioned in trade talks and could bring in some decent draft picks for Portland over the next couple of seasons. They may keep him as an asset for teams who want to make a run later this season. The young squad will need to gel fast. The first Blazers’ pre-season game is next Thursday.

NFL:

The 3 and 1 Seahawks continue to struggle with injuries. Geno Smith got banged up but returned in the second half. Jamal Adams left the game with a concussion. They’ll have some time to heal as Seattle heads into their bye week. 

The 49ers will have a test against Dallas this Sunday. San Francisco has eliminated the Cowboys in the past two postseasons…The 4-0 9ers have been excellent on all facets of the game but see room for improvement.
