    Just heard him interviewed last week and he grew up close to LA Coliseum and was a huge Trojan fan till college.

    yes, won’t be surprised when he someday winds up as the coach of USC football.

    Huskies might be looking for a new coach too and Smith has ties to that program.

    I sure hope not, but I’m not discounting that possibility. I really like what he’s been done for OSU and hope he continues to build upon what he’s done so far. It really has been solid. OSU’s success helps our state and the entire PAC-12.

    He’s a class act on and off the field. I’d like to see him stay around our state for a while.

    I’d like to think he’d stay at OSU over UW.

    yeah, but OSU can throw all the potato salad and frozen burritos in the world at him! Maybe some salsa too.

    Potato salad & salsa while not exactly what you want thrown at you, are mostly harmless. Frozen burritos on the other hand, those can hurt!

    Sorry to my friends here that are Seahawks fans. But I enjoyed watching them lose (well, I only watched after watching my SF Giants win W #102 on the year).

    I think the Beavs are potentially very good. If Chance started the Purdue game we might be 4-0. Long way to go but I’m liking our trajectory. It could make for a very relevant Civil something or other in November.

    The stupidity of doing away with the Civil War moniker for the series has not lessened with time. Just stupid - and still nothing to replace it.

    As for Smith - it was clear two years ago he was the right hire - couple of breaks and we'd have been 7-5 or 8-4 in 2019. He's done wonders, and the recruiting for the next class looks great. A finished Reser should make that job a bit easier too. Here's hoping he sticks around much like some of our other great coaches like Pat Casey.

    And everyone is still going to call it the civil war.

    A few years ago didnt win a single conference game and haven't been to a bowl in 8 years... so no can't can't say should. But could have a nice stretch.

    The past is the past. This year's team is good, and their next 5 opponents (save for Utah)...aren't. Based on the way each has played to this point, Beavs should be favored until at least Arizona State.

    Monster win for the OSU program. Congrats to the Beavs. Good win for Oregon as well. But i don't think playing Mr. Tibbs was smart. Let that injury heal.
