The NOC has tried to sum up the stereotype image of the typical student at each Pac-12 institution, usually as it relates to the football team. Judge for yourself if they have succeeded.

Start making plans for December 1.

Oregon St.'s 10-7 upset win over Wisconsin continues to receive positive attention on a wide basis. CBS Sports highlights a coach nationally each week, and this week, Mike Riley gets the honor.

After posting the first 20 win season in 22 years at Oregon St., men's basketball Coach Craig Robinson has been rewarded with a 1 year contract extension. The Beavers also led the PCC/AAWU/Pac-8/-10/-12 in scoring for the first time ever this past year. "I'm honored that the university made the commitment to another year for me and my family, and for my staff and for this program," Robinson said. "We're heading in the right direction. This will help me recruit kids because there are always people out there saying `this is Coach Robinson's last year; he's going to move on and go somewhere else.' This helps me when I'm recruiting kids to let them know that I plan on being here for the next five years; so their entire time here as a student-athlete." Robinson's deal now runs through the 2016-17 season.

Oregon St.'s sophomore linebacker DJ Welch was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week today for his efforts in the Beavers' win over Wisconsin. Welch co-led Oregon St. with 7 tackles, including 2 for a loss.

Oregon St. head coach talked today with ESPN's Ted Miller of the Pac-12 Blog about last year's start, and this Saturday's season opener against Wisconsin being "as big a nonconference game as Oregon State has ever hosted."

Postponed ticket plan. I've got an e-mail sent to them about what if the game is not rescheduled would they refund the tickets after the season is over if one does not exchange them. I'll let you guys know if they get back to me.

Hopefully, he's as good or better than his brother Roeland, that would help the team tremendously.
