We've covered "Duels in the Desert", some of the best that D3 sports has to offer, and much more, so look through the site and you'll find quite a few gems. In fact one of those rare gems was...

LAKE OSWEGO has been a solid pipeline of collegiate talent for Oregon State, with Micah Hatfield, Jack Lomax, Will Storey, Will Darkins, Marcus Henderson, Gabe Miller and Keith Robertson among those who have worn the black and orange. College of the Siskiyous LB Myke Tavarres is home in Oregon for the summer and checking out the local colleges. The former Lakeridge High star has an offer from OSU.

OREGON STATE's Joseph Halahuni was a pass-catching machine at the Cleveland Browns' mini-camp recently. OSU would like to produce the same with a Modesto, Calif. tight end out of Central Catholic High. He's seeing his stock soar, after a strong performance at the Oakland NFTC... and Oregon State is one who has certainly taken notice.

Tigers begin NCAA Tournament quest against ULM, with Oregon State and Belmont looming.

Make no mistake: Eugene and Corvallis are football towns. Even when the Ducks make the basketball tournament, or the Beavers roar into the baseball tournament, fans are still watching the football spring practices and waiting for the fall.

The Tigers earn the No. 7 national spot and will entertain ULM, Oregon State and Belmont in regional, looking for a return to the College World Series.

IF OREGON STATE (38-18) wants to make it to Omaha, they'll likely have to knock off the seventh overall seed in the nation. But before even thinking about that. they'll have to beat Belmont (39-22), the Atlantic Sun champions, in the opening tilt of the Baton Rouge regional on Friday.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – With the Pac-12 title on the line, fifth-ranked Oregon was swept for the first time this season as the Ducks were shut out in a 5-0 loss to No. 23 Oregon State at Goss Stadium on Sunday.

IN A DRAMATIC finish, Michael Conforto’s outfield assist sealed the deal for the Beavs. The freshman made a nifty catch on Ryon Healy’s line drive and then threw out Aaron Payne attempting to tag up from third -- in the process preserving the 23rd-ranked Oregon State baseball team's 3-2 win over No. 5 Oregon. The Beavers have clinched the series and next, they go for the sweep.

Pat Casey has become Oregon State's winningest coach, earning his 614th victory in the Beavers' 7-3 win over Oregon on Friday night. Casey, who led Oregon State to consecutive College World Series titles in 2006-07, surpassed Jack Riley for the school mark for wins. He has averaged 34 wins a season in 18 years at Oregon State, and moved into 13th place in Pac-12 history...

Last week I wrote a column regarding rivalries in sports. This week? It’s reared its intensified head by means of a run-in with the law. Early Saturday morning, Oregon State standout defensive back Jordan Poyer was arrested and charged with second degree trespassing at Impulse Bar & Grill in Corvallis, a night club near the Oregon State campus. Since then, the world wide...

Last four years filled with pain I picked a rough time to attend college. I graduated into a slumping economy, and jobs aren’t easy to find. Also, the OSU Beavers have endured four of their most devastating seasons in a row. Here are some OSU Beavers football games that have left me crying in my beer for far too long on a Saturday evening in Oregon. 5) September 3, 2011: Loss...

Oregon State cornerback Jordan Poyer was arrested in connection with trespassing at a nightclub near campus over the weekend. Poyer, 21, is scheduled to appear on second-degree trespassing charge in Benton County Circuit Court on June 7.

OREGON STATE's Michael Conforto went yard with a three-run home run in the third inning to break the Oregon State single-season RBI record with 69 and the Beavers gave Pat Casey his program-tying 613th win with a 7-5 victory over Washington State.

The OSU men's basketball team is heading overseas. We learned this week via a press release from OSUBeavers.com that this was the case. They will leave for Europe Aug. 18-28, giving the Beavers 10 additional days of practice time and competition against quality opponents that will benefit the mixture of veterans and newcomers heading into the 2012-13 season.
