Three of the top 4 from the Pac12. That is quite an accomplishment in itself, and two of the top 4 from the state of Oregon.

True believeinthebeavs! You can't get much lower than where the Beavs were when Wagner was done and SR took over. What SR has done with this program is something you write books about.

I actually think where niner is projected to elevate football to is a book that will sell. Sadly football will get the higher accolades and recognition. Not saying it is right. |

Some people need to feel like they are part of the "in" group. That's why people that waited on Tom Hanks in the supermarket call him "Tommy." |

Niner is also short for 49er, which I at first thought it was referring too. They also have rebuilt their team from scratch from a two years ago to being ranked the best team in the NFL at this point.
And yes Scotts story not only deserves a book but also a movie. You can not get lower than Oregon St was when he took over. They were one player away to not even being able to field a team.

Niner's been "Niner" since he led OSU to their best football season ever - I might be an old-timer, but that's a nick synonymous with Coach Smith and will be for ever! |

Never heard him referred to as that, nor, apparently, has google or wikipedia. |

I thought the 49ers were only known as “the team that loses to the Seahawks” in the PNW? |
