The NCAA had a nice parting gift for Oregon State. As soon as they got back to the hotel, they were told to pack up and get on a 1:15 am flight back to Eugene. Everyone had to hurriedly pack and head to the airport. Team arrives in Corvallis at 4 am Tuesday.
Not very classy.

Last word of the night (probably)
No one should put any stock or thought into Oregon State’s Sun Bowl performance. That wasn’t the team we saw all fall. It has nothing to do with what we might see in 2024. It was a game played because college football is incredibly messed up.

Oregon State will announce laster today that it has rewritten Jonathan Smith's contract. 6 years, $30.6 million with pool raises for assistant coaches and support.
Smith's 2023 salary of $4.85M moves him to 5th among Pac-12 coaches, and ahead of Oregon's Dan Lanning.

Football coach leaves after 2 years. AD leaves after 6 months. Looking like a steppingstone school.
Sources: Nebraska is finalizing a six-year deal to make Washington athletic director Troy Dannen the school’s new athletic director. The hiring of Dannen gives Nebraska an immediate replacement for Trev Alberts, who left for Texas A&M last week.

Agree or disagree: if Jonathan Smith waits for the UW job to open, 95 percent of Oregon State's fan base would understand, say thanks for doing a good job, and his reputation is intact.

Oregon is already going to play Washington every year. The Big Ten isn't going to give up that travel layup. The question is whether Oregon-OSU can exist as non-conference partners.
Also: Oregon is OSU's little brother. OSU was born in 1868. Oregon, 1876. Let's keep it factual.
