- Sometimes hearing something “straight from the horse’s mouth” is the best way to know how someone really feels about a current situation. So for those fans of former Oregon State great Brandin Cooks, you can see how the NFL receiver really feels about his trade to the Los Angeles Rams, per an interview straight from the team’s website. In the piece, Cooks discusses how it feels to be traded (again), how he’d describe himself as a player and what it’s like to be a part of the Rams organization.
- Got a few minutes to spare? Then remember every fantastic moment of the Oregon State women’s basketball season with this remarkable video put together by the school’s athletic department.
- Beaver Blitz caught up with new Oregon State wide receivers coach Kefense Hynson, who will have quite the task ahead of him this season, as Oregon State boasts a young and inexperienced receiving core. Throughout the interview, you can see how confident Hynson appears to be with the position group, as he refuses to allow their lack of proven on-field success to hinder their expectations for the upcoming season.
- While gunslinger Jake Luton will almost undoubtedly be the Beavers’ opening day starter, it seems that Conor Blount and Jack Colletto are keeping the pressure on Luton, at least for the time being. The Oregonian is reporting that the trio are all still in the mix to be the team’s starting quarterback, with the program’s “Spring Game” still looming over a week away.
- And some random school-related news to wrap up this edition of “Quick Links”, Oregon State University is buying a new 103,000-square foot building two miles southwest of campus for a staggering $19.8 million dollars. The new addition will be used as a “hub for biological and chemical science research”. Also, next year, drivers in the state of Oregon will be able to choose a new specialty license plate featuring whales, which will help fund Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute. Remember to help the whales people. They are friends of the Beavers.
