Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

In a stunning upset, underdog Oregon State stunned top-ranked USC 33-31 in October 2006, ending the Trojans’ 27-game conference win streak and securing the Beavers’ first victory over a top-ten team in five years. Down 10-0 early, Oregon State surged with a 16-10 halftime lead, then extended it to 33-10 before USC clawed back with a furious fourth-quarter rally. With just seven seconds left and trailing by two, USC failed on a two-point conversion attempt after a last-second pass was batted down, sealing the historic win as fans stormed the field in celebration.

Kevin Griffin has officially taken the reins as Oregon State’s new athletic director with a bold mission: make OSU the Pac-12 powerhouse in every sport. His plan? Hire top-tier execs in operations, revenue, and NIL strategy to fund elite competition without sacrificing core values. Coaches are ready for more resources to win, recruit, and thrive — and Griffin’s listening. With a $9–14M+ price tag to field a competitive Pac-12 football team, creativity and new revenue streams are critical. The pressure’s on Griffin and his team to close the resource gap — especially in baseball — and turn Oregon State into a national contender.
