The problem is that Oregon State just has outdated facilities. I love basketball and was glad to be a Beaver. I used to live across the hall from several of the guys on the team (from a few years ago). I loved the hiring and it was needed...I was never a fan of Jay John. I don't think we'll be competing for a Pac-10 title in the next couple of years, but if we manage to make the NCAA tournament, that would certainly be huge in my opinion.
BTW: How do you all feel about someone who went to both OSU and UO. My dad did, and later taught at UO. I graduated from OSU, but might go to grad school in Eugene. I'm feeling internally conflicted concerning my sports teams :-|
