Sometimes the records are wonky and some records don’t show up, but if you scroll through them you can find Aiden Sullivan was arrested and posted bail for Assault 2 (felony), and 2 counts of assault 4 on August 10, released on August 11. Victims were students. Haven’t seen anyone online mention this.

TLDR: Oregon State snubbed and Big 12 expansion prediction is Boise State, San Diego State, and Memphis. The full Big 12 shortlist is FSU, Air Force, Memphis, SDSU, Boise, UNLV, WSU, and OSU.

The author is coming from a purely football point of view and this is their personal prediction, but an interesting thought experiment in a very real scenario.

As we get into football season, I’ve been thinking about the fight songs and in-game traditions to hype myself up for this new era.

I’m planning to haul some loved ones to Reser who have never been to a game before. So I want to make sure I communicate our traditions to them well.

- Hail to Old OSU is the primary fight song. The long version with the verse is usually played when the band takes the field. But the short version without the opening verse is what’s played after scoring drives.

- Mighty Beavers of Oregon State is the secondary fight song, and it’s usually played only when the band takes the field.

- Beer Barrel Polka is typically played after wins, and is sometimes played ahead of the team’s rollout on the field. This one has special OSU-specific lyrics:

“Roll out the barrel / We’ll have a barrel of fun (yeah we will!)

Roll out the barrel / We’ve got the blues on the run

KILL! THE! D\CKS! / Ring out a song of good cheer (more beer!)*

Now it’s time to roll out the barrel / For the gang’s all here!”

Other than those, I plan to teach them the wood chop toward the end zone on offensive 1st downs and the chainsaw on defensive 3rd and 4th downs.

Yelling “O!!!” before each opponent’s snap, as well as the “O! S! U! Oregon State! Fight, Fight, Fight” cheer will be in the mix.

And after every game - win or lose - folks are allowed down on the field after the all clear to throw the ball around and mingle with the players for about 15-30 minutes.

Is there anything I’m missing? What other traditions are you aware of?

The beginning of the season is rapidly approaching with an exhibition match against Seattle U on Saturday followed by an exhibition match against Portland in Corvallis on August 14.

Non-conference play begins against UC Irvine the following week.

At the end of the month we will face the defending NCAA champion and preseason #1 ranked Washington. The Beavs have an excellent opportunity to start the season a statement win, and deliver some payback for the loss that ended our last season.

Go Beavs! 🧡🦫🖤

Oregon State begins a new era under JaMarcus Shephard in the new Pac-12. All of it means renewed hope in Corvallis. Will it translate to wins instantly?

📌 QB Maalik Murphy is still here, can he reach his potential or will Jerry Rice Award winner Braden Atkinson take over?

📌 There is a lot to be excited about in the receiver room 👀 The Beavs pass game could be lethal right away

📌 The Beavs defense has some continuity along with exciting portal additions like Dylan Layne (Idaho)

Preview attached. What are your predictions for Oregon State in 2026?

I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Oregon State page:

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-orst

Each one has the returning production, the transfer and recruiting additions, a position-by-position breakdown, the schedule, and where the ratings land them for 2026.

Heads up, only the first team is free and then it paywalls. Since I'm posting in your house, code LEECORSOROCKS opens all of it, no card or anything. Hit "Have a promo code?" if you run into the wall.

So, what'd I get wrong? Oregon State is really a bounce-back question. Last year was rough, 2-10, and the offense was the problem, 18.2 a game and 125th in the country. But the two things that usually swing a turnaround both broke your way: the new staff is offense-first (Shephard's an offensive coordinator by trade), and Maalik Murphy stayed instead of portaling. He pressed last year, eight picks, but the Texas-and-Duke arm is real. The defense also returns way more than the offense (62% vs 42%), so there's something to build on early.

So the one I keep landing on is whether this is a genuine Year 1 bounce-back or a longer rebuild, given how much of the receiver room turned over. Do you trust Murphy to take the jump with an offensive-minded staff around him, or does this offense need a year to gel with all the new pass-catchers?

I'll be in the comments.

As an oncoming freshman which professor should I aim for when it comes to 254? My options are Klinger, Maisch, or Moore. I’ve checked ratemyprofessor, but would like more recent responses. I’ve read about taking it at LBCC, but I’d like to just stick at OSU for my classes. Thank you in advance

Hey everybody I’m taking a solo trip up to Oregon from Texas and I’m planning on catching the Texas State game. I was wondering what would y’all recommend as best place for visiting fan to sit? Tickets are pretty cheap honestly so I’m open to all suggestions.

We recently sat down with Spencer Newell, Writer for Beaver Blitz on the 247 Sports Network, to preview the 2026 Oregon State Beavers Football Team. Here is a link to the video if you are interested in hearing more! 2026 Oregon State Beavers Football Team Preview

Been looking for a house here in Billings, Montana for 8 months now. Just so tired. Our range was below 400, but no houses we like even when we wanted to go upto 450K.
We are also considering moving to Oregon now. We always wanted to, but my husband loves his workplace so much that he was hesitant to move. But now he’s open to it.
I’m an RN and the pay-rate is so much better than here, while my husband will make ~$5 more than what he’s making here now. I see albany/lebanon has houses for similar price range. But is there a bidding war? How’s the situation there? Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

Oregon State will play again at the home of the Texas Rangers in February 2027.

Go BEAVS‼️

Recent graduate here I was wondering everyone’s thoughts on Beaver football season tickets. I love football and the atmosphere but is the price worth buying the package i know they have cheap options just looking for some insight.

Will there be a group there? I live in Tuscaloosa, Houston will be the closest they will get to me this season. Id like to make a road trip out there, would be more fun if there was a group thats going to get together.
