Beavs and Blazes
Our friendly redneck frat boys up in Corvallis are making a run to be defend their College World Series Championship. The Oregon State baseball team finished the Michigan Wolverines off yesterday with an impressive 8-2 win, after beating the Wolverines 1-0 on Sunday. It will be the third straight appearence in Omaha for the Beavs, and this one is the most surprising. They lost almost all their starters from a year ago and finished sixth in the Pac-10, but played some gutsy ball down the stretch and have a heap of momentum going into saturdays game against Cal State Fullerton, 4 p.m.
On to Rip City, the front feature on espn.com today is on the Trail Blazers miraculous 1976-77 NBA Championship, calling it a “miracle, born, like Gaia, spontaneously, from nowhere, from utter chaos.” The Rip City Revival is in the midst, so brush up on your Blazer trivia so you avoid being labeled as a bandwagoneer as the Blazers set their eyes on a championship within a few years. The youthful Blazers will hopefully have the same blitzing offense as the 77 team. “We cut folks up, backdoored ’em, ran ’em, fundamentaled ’em to death,” said Johnny Davis. You have to respect some good ol’ backdooring.
