The NCAA had a nice parting gift for Oregon State. As soon as they got back to the hotel, they were told to pack up and get on a 1:15 am flight back to Eugene. Everyone had to hurriedly pack and head to the airport. Team arrives in Corvallis at 4 am Tuesday.
Not very classy.

- Jonathan Smith is leaving Oregon State for Michigan State, I have confirmed. Player meeting either going on right now, or about to happen.
- Just spoke to Oregon State AD Scott Barnes. "I'm furious. The best interest of the student athlete hasn't been served." Story coming soon.
- If Oregon State beats San Jose State today, the Pac-12 is 12-0 for its first full week. Hope you're happy FOX and ESPN.
- BYU put out a statement saying it has banned a fan from its athletic venues. Doesn't seem like enough.
- The Pac-12 has called off football this fall. The SEC has not. Asked Oregon State president F. King Alexander what the Pac-12 is seeing the SEC isn't. "I think, probably, reality," Alexander said.
- Oregon State is wearing a Mike Leach sticker on helmets today, honoring the late WSU/Mississippi State coach.
- My Heisman vote: 1. Michael Penix, Washington 2. Jayden Daniels, LSU 3. Rome Odunze, Washington
- Coaches poll doesn't issue a single vote to Oregon State or Washington State. I get it with the Beavers, but the Cougars have boat-raced two opponents and look every bit like a top 25 team.
- Court finds in favor of Oregon State and Washington State. Orders OSU and WSU are the only board members, but if they hold a meeting, they will provide the other 10 school with an agenda, and allow suggestions or objections.
- Some sunshine from behind the clouds at Oregon State: RB Damien Martinez says he'll be back in 2024
- Last word of the night (probably) No one should put any stock or thought into Oregon State’s Sun Bowl performance. That wasn’t the team we saw all fall. It has nothing to do with what we might see in 2024. It was a game played because college football is incredibly messed up.
- WSU AD Pat Chun said 18 minutes before Saturday's kickoff, they'll ask the Cougar marching band to play the Oregon State fight song.
- FINAL: Oregon State 1, No. 3 North Carolina 0, NCAA men's soccer quarterfinal. Beavers are off to their first ever College Cup OSU has beaten Seattle, No. 11 Portland, No. 6 SMU and No. 3 North Carolina during its playoff run
