PrintI almost called this post "Beaver Links." I said it out loud and immediately had second thoughts. Those second thoughts were of sausage links, made from beaver meat, which I can only imagine DOES NOT taste just-like-chicken. "Beaver Links," would probably be the worst tasting sausages ever, so here's hoping the people at Hormel or Jimmy Dean--certainly not Reser--aren't developing this product as we speak. Anyway, there's some news...
- Heisman candidate Jacquizz Rodgers sat down for a pretty cool interview.
- Recruiting updates from Cliff Kirkpatrick are one of the most useful things out there on the internet. Except maybe BtD itself... but anyway, lots of news in what was a busy week for Beaver football recruiting. Side note: Very happy we're getting another RB from Texas... one named Storm Woods. How's that for a football name?
Hi, I'm Storm Woods. I like taking long walks on the beach, eating up defenses and scoring touchdowns.
- The GT is all over the recruiting scene with yet ano ther update, this time on men's hoops.
Bob Condotta of The Seattle TimesGambling types from the Golden Nugget predict the Huskies upcoming season... andhethey thinksthe dawgs get one over on the Beavs this year. No, really,hethey does. Maybe after six in a row UW will figure it out this year? Hope not. Gotta love the Locker hype machine though. What's so special about him THIS year? I mean, not only was he not even the best QB in the PAC 10 last year, he wasn't even the best QB in Reser Stadium...
- In case you have forgotten how much Bleacher Report sucks, please check out this dumb list of "Weirdest Schedules" and read the OSU entry. I assume based on the scummy advertising they always have up on their site that they desperately need the hits.
That's all for now folks. I'll try to be semi-regular with these again. Post what I missed in the comments, have a great weekend and GO BEAVERS!

Re: Condotta's Blog
He wasn’t predicting the games, but rather posting the opening gambling lines posted by the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas.
Bob offered some analysis, but blame the handicappers for those lines (or better yet, get on a plane to Vegas and hit them where it counts – the betting window).
Good point on the betting too. If everything gels the way it should/could for the Beavs, a lot of gamblers wearing orange and black could make some money on this one. That line will change though. UW will be improved but I don’t see them catching anyone off guard this year. Two years from now? I’ll be afraid of where Sark has them for sure.
The uniform craze
once left to the UofNike seems to be catching on across the conference.
The House of Sparky takes a look at a look to try to get what they admit is some street cred when they are in serious need of some.
I think getting some wins would be a better way to take care of that.
