Sorry, but Oregon State declaring that they will not entertain invitations that don't exist is kind of priceless. 

 

As the writer in the article says: "Declaring they’re not going to look elsewhere would be like the guy at the local bar declaring he’s not dating multiple supermodels."

 

However, I do wish the Beavers good luck. And for that matter, I think that we're going to need some luck as well.

 

Oregon State Declares Loyalty To The PAC-12 Amid Chaos – OutKick

Oregon State wants the world to know it won't chase invites that almost certainly don't exist. Will the Beavers leave the PAC-12?

 

It took me awhile to come off my own arrogance about elite football in elite conferences, because I really do want Oregon State to thrive.  

 

Now they are on the cusp on G5 status.  After all that Jonathan Smith has done to revive the program he helped establish as an up and comer.  

 

What a shame.  

 

I have my fingers crossed, because they deserve to thrive like Rutgers does.  But it may be too little, too late.
