This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Casey, devoted Catholic, is loved in Corvallis-I wanted him by Domerduck

to replace Manieri in 2006 after he won his 1st NC, but he knew he still had a goog team (which won again in 2007. He also has been in Oregon his whole life and given how the fans put up signs to keep him, it has worked out for him. The baseball games are a big deal in Corvallis and after this year his legend will only grow.

It does show with the right coach and commitment, you can win in the North. That said Baseball is the top men's sport at OSU, by far. Football anf Basketball are trying to resurge but they are not there yet.
