Quick Links: Trail Blazers Waive Gary Payton II

• A bummer for an OSU basketball fan favorite as Gary Payton II’s time with the Blazers is already over. Hopefully another team gives him a chance soon.

• In baseball news, the Beavs played an 18-inning exhibition against the University of British Columbia on Saturda. OSU outscored UBC 12-2 in that span. Tyler Malone’s two run homer was arguably the biggest highlight of the day. The Daily Barometer has more.

• For the Pac-12, women’s basketball media day is over and the Beavs were picked to win the league! Again! See what the Pac-12 folks have to say about each Pac-12 squad here.

• As crazy as it is to think about, we are officially at the halfway point of college football season. The Statesman Journal took a look at how certain aspects of the team have performed up to this point in the year. Sure, the short answer is “not well”. But there are still reasons to be optimistic about the program.
