Canzano: Oregon State got a win -- and a football catharsis
A fan base can only take so much.
CORVALLIS — The Beavers won the game, sang the school fight song in the locker room, and tossed their rosy-cheeked head coach in the cold tub. Saturday was a new start that looked and sounded sort of like old times at Oregon State, didn’t it?
Dominant run game, check.
Opportunistic defense, check.
38-15 victory, check.
First-year head coach Trent Bray arrived at the post-game news conference soaking wet, with sunglasses on top of his head and a towel draped over his shoulder. The opener wasn’t without questions — and I’ll get to those in a bit — but when I saw the video of Bray getting tossed in the locker room cold-plunge pool, I thought about how it was built years ago.
