Happy Holidays From State of the Beavs!

The holiday season is a time for reflection. For the team at State of the Beavs, we're reflecting on Oregon State baseball's eighth trip to the College World Series, a West Coast Conference championship for the women's basketball program, and an eventful 2025 football campaign that has Beaver Nation looking to the future.

In addition to that, we're reflecting on the growth that our show has seen in our first full year of operation. We started State of the Beavs with the goal of providing smart, consistent coverage of Oregon State athletics. The continued patronage of you, the listener, lets us know that we are well on our way to accomplishing this goal.

This week, ahead of the transfer portal opening, West Coast Conference play beginning for both basketball squads, and baseball season being just a matter of weeks away...our team is taking it a bit easy so we can enjoy the Christmas season with our families. For now, we invite you to catch up on the last couple episodes of State of the Beavs and see what Oregon State headlines have brought us to the end of the calendar year. We'll return next week with a brand new episode.

Until then, thank you for your support, enjoy your holiday weekend, and of course...Go Beavs.

-More content. More platforms. Maybe even merch? The sky is the limit if you keep listening.
