Oregon State forward Joe Burton is 6-7 and 280 pounds, and yet here he is, feeding Jared Cunningham from the top of the key for a beautiful alley-oop against Howard last night. (Burton is averaging 3.6 assists through 10 games.) It took the Beavers three dribbles and three passes to beat a full-court press, which is just about the best kind of break a coach could ask for, especially when the end result is as pretty as Cunningham's reverse dunk. Oregon State won, 93-72. More »

Maybe it's because they don't use safety glass in Macedonia, or maybe it's because Shaq actually lives in a movie, but we've never seen one of these highlight reel dunks end up with shards of glass embedded in a bloody face.

This video's been floating around for a couple months under the description Drunk Man Eats Napkin At West Hollywood Denny's at 3:10 am. But this week, some folks near Corvallis noticed the subject looked a little familar. And indeed, it's Mike Parker, the radio play-by-play guy for the Beavers. When finally called on it yesterday, both Parker and OSU went into damage control mode. More »

Honestly, I think that Oregon State students were more excited about having Erin Andrews on campus than they were with the Beavers' 27-21 upset of USC. It seems as if every second sign in the place had some reference to her. Kudos to Beaver Nation for getting this sign on the air ... a move that was almost as well played as their team's first half, when hobbit-like freshman tailback Jacquizz Rodgers helped the Beavs take a 21-0 lead into intermission.

Do you like games where the No. 1 team loses on the road? Well, too bad, because that game's not for a few weeks. Until then, we have a nice Pac 10 game between two "rivals" for you which will be over by mid-second quarter. We got ESPN's Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer, and Craig James(er) in the box. We got Erin Andrews on the ground. But most importantly, we gotta jump to survive. * * * More »

Aquatic dam-building mammals everywhere were glued to their sets on Monday as Oregon State basketball coach Craig Robinson spoke at the Democratic National Convention, introducing his younger sister Michelle Obama. Fairly unremarkable as introductions go, although it did include possibly the first-ever mention of The Brady Bunch at a major political convention. But the part that caught my attention was when Robinson talked about the idea of first getting to know Barack Obama in a game of pickup basketball. That's a wise notion for several reasons. More »

This is Jorge Reyes, the Most Outstanding Player of last year's College World Series for the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers are the two-time defending national champions, and they kind of rule the roost a bit over there. They also like to just randomly fire weaponry on campus. Hey, sometimes you get bored.
