Quick Links: SB Nation’s Bill Connelly Rolls Out His 2017 Oregon State Football Preview

• SB Nation’s own Bill Connelly is the best in the business when it comes to college football and he recently laid out his preview of the 2017 Oregon State football team, as part of his annual team-by-team previews. Within his in-depth look at the program, Connelly lays out the team’s strengths, weaknesses, causes for concern and how a tough schedule may hinder Oregon State’s chances at a potential bowl game.

• The top-ranked Beavers baseball team is ready to book their trip to Omaha and Newsweek went so far, as to chronicle Oregon State’s fantastic regular season and what the rest of the way may hold in store for the group. The Beavers will kick-off the post-season on Friday, June 2nd at 8:00 PM PT against Holy Cross on ESPNU and a recent article by Worcester Telegram gives a solid look into Oregon State’s first opponent, who apparently are “not intimidated” by the Beavers daunting resume.

• In the midst of all our baseball coverage here at BTD, the Oregon State football program did land a surprise commitment from three-star 2018 quarterback Spencer Petras, who chose the Beavers over the likes of notable schools such as California, Louisville and Syracuse. BeaversEdge talked a bit more with Petras about his commitment to the school and the likelihood that he’ll enroll early to be ready for “Spring Football” next season.

• Moving from the diamond to the gridiron to the hardwood, the recent success of the women’s basketball program has paid off for head coach Scott Rueck, who according to the Oregonian, racked up over $100,000 in bonuses this past season. Making the NCAA Tournament and winning two games in the big dance were some of the head coach’s biggest performance-based incentives from the 2016-2017 campaign.
