As a Duck fan, I do root for the Beavers too, but the falloff is so disappointing. Sad to say, but Oregon is the only team in the state of Oregon receiving votes in the AP poll this week. And let me just say, I feel horrible for Oregon State University, and it is disgusting what Oregon did to that program by abandoning them and making the decision to move to the Big 10. You could argue Oregon is single-handedly responsible for the destruction of this beautiful conference. If it weren't for the State teams throwing the Oregon State Beavers a life raft and giving them an opportunity to keep playing, I don't even know if they'd still have a program at this point. It's a miracle that they're still even going. And to add insult to injury, Oregon won't even schedule the Beavers right now. That is a huge game that the Beavers need on their schedule. Even if we all know it's going to be an Oregon dominant win, you've got to play these games. They're historic, they're rivalries. We know it's going to be lopsided, and the Ducks are probably just going to destroy them. What we have here is a classic story of modern conference realignment just decimating a program. Oregon State's season is lost. They're not going to make the playoffs, and Oregon on the other hand, probably going to make the playoffs. They're contending for a conference title, unlike Oregon State. So, just a despicable move by the Ducks, leaving their little brother in the dust like that.
