The GT celebrated its 100th birthday this week. There was a special section put out Thursday with all sorts of historical stuff, including sports.
The staff put together the top 10 Oregon State and Benton County events that were covered. I wanted to link the OSU list, but couldn’t find it on our site.
So here it is in chronological order. Tell me what you think we missed.
