Welcome to Civil War Week

Sure, preparation for the 113th Civil War began last week as Oregon State enjoyed it's final bye of the season, and normal game preparation kicked off Saturday after the Beavers took three days off for Thanksgiving. But we've arrived at the beginning of the real Civil War week, and expect things to crank up a notch around BtD. 

Everyone is back in Corvallis now, and all hands are on deck as the team prepares for Thursday's colossal game. 

I can assure you that the BtD crew will be working hard to provide you with quality reading material in this four-day span before kickoff. If you have any story ideas or have a suggestion of what you'd like us to cover, don't hesitate to send your tip to the e-mail address below.

If you're new around here, or it's your first time visiting Building the Dam: Welcome! We highly recommend you take advantage of the community atmosphere here to make the most of your time. In order to do that, you're going to need to make an account. It's quick, easy, and will have you ready to begin leaving comments in a matter of minutes. 

It should be a good week-- but here's one final reminder to keep it classy out there. There's nothing wrong with good-natured trash talking, but please do your part to maintain the family atmosphere on Building the Dam and all throughout Beaver Nation. 

It's the way Mike Riley would want it, after all.
