Here are some notes of interest plucked for the Oregon State football team wrap-up that was sent out to the media.
• The Beavers concluded the fourth consecutive season with a winning record at 8-5, the longest streak since a five-year run between 1966-70.
• For the second straight year they tied for second in the Pac-10 – a 6-3 mark in 2009.
• Coach Mike Riley is 64-47 in nine seasons and is 10 wins short of Lon Stiner’s (1933-48) school record for victories.
• The Beavers have played bowl games in nine of the last 11 seasons. That’s tied for second most in that span with USC.
• The record in the last decade is 80-46 (63 percent) compared to 29-81-1 (26 percent) in the 1990s and 22-85-4 (21 percent) in the 1980s.
• There have been 241 forced turnovers since 2001. That’s the 13th most in the country. USC leads with 290.

Was this done to try and get a better preseason ranking for 2010?
Any news about the football player who mught not medically qualify to lay anymore? Like even who the players is and when the decision will be made if he will be on the team for 2010?

No, this is just basic wrap-up notes. They usually do. I'd typically ignore them, but I figured it would be good for the blog. There are other nuggets that might get pulled out when I have time.
As for the player, nothing official, yet. Nothing will change until the end of the school year, anyway.

There's no news. I'm guessing you haven't heard that it's official, but the paperwork is still being signed. That's why the schools haven't announced it.

is the game officially on Saturday? I also read something about a possible Labor Day game? Since I think the NFL opens the following week there always a few college games going?!
