Two gut-wrenching losses to Fresno State and Appalachian State haunt the team—games where they were in control but couldn’t seal the deal. Then came the brutal transfer portal exodus in December and January, as talented players left for power conferences, chasing bigger opportunities. It stung, but it was a business reality. The day he was let go? Unforgettable and raw. But through it all, he learned: wins, losses, goodbyes, and tough calls—they’re all part of the journey. Keep moving. Keep building.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

In a stunning upset, underdog Oregon State stunned top-ranked USC 33-31 in October 2006, ending the Trojans’ 27-game conference win streak and securing the Beavers’ first victory over a top-ten team in five years. Down 10-0 early, Oregon State surged with a 16-10 halftime lead, then extended it to 33-10 before USC clawed back with a furious fourth-quarter rally. With just seven seconds left and trailing by two, USC failed on a two-point conversion attempt after a last-second pass was batted down, sealing the historic win as fans stormed the field in celebration.

Kevin Griffin has officially taken the reins as Oregon State’s new athletic director with a bold mission: make OSU the Pac-12 powerhouse in every sport. His plan? Hire top-tier execs in operations, revenue, and NIL strategy to fund elite competition without sacrificing core values. Coaches are ready for more resources to win, recruit, and thrive — and Griffin’s listening. With a $9–14M+ price tag to field a competitive Pac-12 football team, creativity and new revenue streams are critical. The pressure’s on Griffin and his team to close the resource gap — especially in baseball — and turn Oregon State into a national contender.
