Bench Warmer
Start a thread for College Football talk, general thoughts, thoughts about your Team etc......the usual rules, fine to be a "homer" but no "trolling" and all that nonsense (a little rivalry banter is fine within limits 
).
Oregon State's first game today (home) against Portland State (even on TV as PAC12 carrying it local, as town of 50K and the stadium holds 46K the infrastructure isn't set up very well for that kind of traffic, if you not going to the game then it is always best to stay home, as if you pick the wrong time to order pizza it takes an hour to go 4 miles in your car, that and UofO is 45 miles away so when the Ducks have a home game same day (like today) I-5 and HWY 99 can have movement similar to a parking lot ). Always a concern the early OOC games for the Beavers as the first few games they don't always have it together for whatever reason, and seem to overlook a team that shouldn't beat them let alone stay close, especially those OOC games with teams from a different level in the NCAA (last year it was Eastern Washington with the upset). Some concerns at who is going to step up at the RB position, and also the Receivers as Brandin Cooks will be very tough shoes to fill. Hopefully Sean Mannion will have a good year at QB, but as with any former QB's for the Beavers arm strength isn't so much the concern (they seem to groom guys that can throw it way down field), it is the throwing balls that should never have been thrown for INT's (QB's Derek Anderson, Matt Moore, Sean Canfield etc...).
Go Beavs!!!!
