UPDATE: So more (better) pics can be found here. And I added a pic of the new Nike Pro Combat OSU gloves at the bottom. (Both link and pic via Twitter @OSUBeaversFB.
Nike has unveiled their new Nike Pro Combat uniforms for 10 schools to sport in the 2010 season. Oregon State’s version can be seen above. Nike’s site link can be found here. It is pretty bad-ass and tells the story behind the uniform. Also click on the “Innovation” link to scroll through the uniform details.
Holy crap it is here (and so am I)!!! Football season is just about upon us with Oregon State kicking off Saturday against TCU at the House That Jerry Built, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX.
First, some housecleaning. The blog can now be (only, as before) be found at QuizzandQuon.com. Some a-hole (me) forgot to renew the domain name MyQBHasMoxie.com and now some other a-hole has it and I don’t want to take the time and effort – and money – to get it back. At least not right now. I mean, his site has nothing to do with quarterbacks, football, or anything of quality for that matter. Such is life.
Now onto more important matters like Oregon State football. Read more »
This is the same guy who the University of Oregon was after HARD. Not surprising such an intelligent young feller would have considered that fine academic institution. In case there was any doubt…yes, this was just a cheap opportunity to take a shot at U of O. (via TBL)
And Time to get my ish together. There is NOTHING like college football.
The latest Pac-10 football trailer.
[UPDATE] Sports Illustrated takes a wack at figuring out Pac-12 (and the new Big-10/12) alignment. He supports the North/South alignment. Good points made.
RE: Previous Post. I didn’t report it. I don’t report anything BUT I probably should have known to wait until this CF was over with before saying a thing. Ladies and gentlemen, we now have our….PACIFIC-12!!!
Colorado had already joined. After Texas finished their massive screw over of everybody involved, deciding on staying in the Big-12…er, Big-10…whatever…and then creating their own network, Larry Scott invited Utah into the Pac-10. Utah will be Colorado’s travel partner. How the new Pac-12 will split up has yet to be finalized. The two most likely scenarios are: Read more »
According to Chip Brown of Orangbloods.com, Nebraska has decided to leave the Big-12. This leaves the rest of the Big-12 schools apparently of the opinion the conference cannot be saved. The Pac-10 has allegedly reached out to the Big-12 south (Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State…but not Baylor) and Colorado and those schools will accept an invitation creating the Pacific-16 “super-conference”.

Following in the steps in a growing list of dummy Oregon State JC recruits, Reggie Dunn is now transferring to Utah after OSU (apparently) grew tired of waiting on his academics to clear up. You may remember the legend that is/was Simi Kuli, a defensive end stud JC recruit that never made it to campus…anywhere from what I can tell.
Dunn, a speedy 5’10″ wide receiver, was recruited by Oregon State and failed to qualify then and went to Compton Community College for two years where he seems to have buckled down and barely qualified. Maybe.
Fortunately for Oregon State, WR is a position that they are fairly deep at. So I say screw him. Not literally, of course.
Go Beavs. (via Cliff Kirkpatrick)
ESPN.com college football blogger Bruce Feldman (Twitter @BFeldmanESPN) recently interviewed Mike Riley. Riley discusses his own recruiting process to Alabama, his relationship with his coaches, and a few key players on the current roster. The entire interview is for ESPN Insiders only but here is a snippet:
What did you think when your name came up after Pete Carroll left the USC Trojans?
I’ve got a new motto, “When you’re happy, you stay happy.” I am. I know who we are. I know it’s always going to be hard, but I love it. It’s an easy place to live, and I’m very comfortable. I grew up here in town. My dad was a coach here. It’s a good thing.
Mike Riley told anybody who would listen that the battle for starting quarterback on the 2010 Oregon State Beavers was an open competition. And it may have been. It appears now, even though nothing has been officially announced, OSU has found their starter. Ryan Katz got the bulk of the snaps this spring practice with the number ones while Peter Lalich has fallen into a battle with redshirt freshman Cody Vaz for the backup position.
And, even though local reports say that Katz has run hot and cold this spring, Katz has been named to the Sporting News All-Spring Team and their offensive MVP.
Blessed with a big arm, Katz has added the consistency and accuracy to run an offense featuring Jacquizz and James Rodgers. Coach Mike Riley didn’t name a starting quarterback, but Katz will lead the Beavers against TCU on Sept. 4. “I’m taking the No. 1 reps,” Katz said after Saturday’s spring game. “So that’s the way I’m looking at it.”
I’m still not sold that Katz will be the one to grab the reigns of this offense and star (or even be average) after several very good quarterbacks before him have failed in their first years. Like Matt Moore, Sean Canfield, and Lyle Moevao before him, nobody is questioning Katz’s talent, it’s his decision making that will need to improve if Oregon State wants makes a run to the top of the Pac-10 this fall.

Oh, and about those post-season/pre-spring practice position reports. They have turned into post-season/post-spring practice position reports. I’m still alive!
Merton Hanks…errrr…James Dockery will likely get the starting nod at one of the cornerback spots for the Beavers in 2010.
