The pure of heart, overachieving, hard working and simply unbeatable Oregon State Beavers are less than 24 hours away from destiny. Pasadena isn’t just a possibility, it’s predetermined. Corvallis florists are reporting a complete sellout of their entire rose inventory (of interesting note, Corvallis ticket agents are still trying to get a handle on this word ‘sellout’ and what it means). All that’s left for the Beavers is the party otherwise known as the Civil War.
One problem…it ain’t gonna happen. Just because we’ve spent an entire season getting told that Oregon State is a vastly superior program, team and set of human beings doesn’t make it so. I present to you the following: Oregon State is 8-3, Oregon is 8-3. The Beavers are not better. And they’re not worse, either, but they are completely beatable.
I get that the Beavers are a lunchpail crew of winners on a road called destiny. I get that Mike Riley with his pinnacle of achievement being a Sun Bowl victory is vastly superior to Mike Bellotti. I even understand that because Oregon aggressively markets itself, it only cares about image, never about winning. But even so, Saturday is going to be a day of victory for the University of Oregon. It’s a wild thought, I know. After all, this is an Oregon State program clearly on another level from the University of Oregon. Just look at their overall records since Mike Riley II began his tenure. Why, they’re completely even!
You’ll just have to forgive me for thinking Oregon will win. Roses can wait another 44 years.
PreNicktion: Oregon 38, Oregon State 28
