10 hours ago10 hr Administrator No. Last Sunday, as I read through all of my go to college football websites to recap Saturday’s action, I came across this point from The Athletic’s college football insider Stewart Mandel: “Finally, if you’re about age 45 and older, you remember when Oregon State was a decades-long punching bag in the old Pac-8/10, before rising up in the late ’90s ...Those Damned Beavers Two Sites: FishDuck and the Our Beloved Ducks forum, The only "Forum with Decorum!" And All-Volunteer? What a wonderful community of Duck fans!
5 hours ago5 hr No. That 2001 team that throttled Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl was really good. They came on strong as the season progressed. If the 12 team playoff existed then, they may well have run the table.

They certainly seemed very good but that was a weird year for the PAC. Only OBD, UW, and Beavis had more than 6 wins overall that season. Beavis only beat two teams that ended up ranked after the bowls.12 team playoff would have been amazing that year. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by JabbaNoBargain
3 hours ago3 hr No. (2000 actually) That thought has crossed my mind in the past. That team was rolling!

I hope I'm not making a MIstate, but I hear he went Michigan?I prefer today's Dammed Up Beavis. 😁
1 hour ago1 hr No. The OSU/ND Fiesta Bowl game was a blast to watch. Even diehard Duck fans had to enjoy the ND beatdown by the Beavis. Leading up to the game all the pundits were saying the Beav's didn't belong in that game. Turned out they did.
1 hour ago1 hr No. And, they would have won by even more if they hadn't had been such hooligans. Stupid flags, celebrations, etc... But, hey, throwing together a talented group like this at OSU at the time required overlooking some character flaws, I don't blame 'em. It kick started them becoming respectable. They might have to dive back into that playbook, lol. Edited 58 minutes ago58 min by Darren Perkins
