The other OSU has the same kinda problem. Nice Orangeout.

But I gather it isn’t as regular as the Stillwater Sea of Orange.

So my BIL calls last night. “ARE YOU WATCHING OUR NEPHEW??? It’s 21-0 at the half!”

The hubby and I turned on the TV and watched the last half. Go Beavers!

When I think of the Beavers I think of them as portrayed in S.M. Stirling’s _Dies the Fire_ series. After civilization is being rebuilt the town of Corvallis becomes important, and civic events have cheerleaders and Beaver banners, along with a fight song altered for the situation.

Thank you, _Fresno State!_

As for you, **QB** , I’ll see _you_ at the Rose Bowl in December.
