It's becoming an annual event in the offseason for the Oregon State football program. A quarterback that they are leaning fairly heavily on, will reportedly have shoulder surgery.
It's looking like Beavers QB Lyle Moevao will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder at some point this week.
Moevao injured his right shoulder on November 1, but he returned and played well in the Civil War, and he also played in the Sun Bowl. Stil...

Another yearly tradition is in the books for basketball fans. The NBA trade deadline passed about an hour ago (as I write this). So far, no major deals, but a healthy number of minor ones.

For college head coaches... it's the MOST important time of the year--- National Letter of Intent Day. It's also very stressful. For guys like Bellotti, Riley, and Glanville... it's the equivalent of winning the lottery. They get the chance on Wednesday to showcase their latest crop of talent. Every coach will say they had "a great class". That needs to be said to help appeal to school boosters, alums, and students. It's wh...

I had a good night here at KGW-TV. We carried the Super Bowl and I must admit I had goose bumps watching the TV here in the sports office. It was at halftime watching Bruce Springsteen.
