Pitching, Hitting, Defense?
They have Kenyon "Otashi" Yovan. We will lose this series, possibly get swept. Bored members will call for Canham to be fired, or at least point out that he is no Pat Casey.
The balance of power in the PNW shifts after this weekend. UofO takes the lion's share, UW gets most of the rest and OSU is stuck fighting WSU for transfers and utility players to fill out the roster.
Phil Knight uses his power, influence, and even calls in a few favors while on his death bed, to get the scholarship limit abolished, or set at 35.
Phil Knights dies, and leaves 274 mil to the ducks baseball program. They become the preeminent west coast team, sucking all the talent from the western half of the USA, and even Texas. They become the baseball version of Alabama football, where not winning the national championship is a failure of a season.
The ducks install a 15 camera system to stream games, complete with scoreboard graphics and a hall of fame broadcaster named....
Mike Parker gets his money and decides to call games for his alma mater, and switches to the ducks broadcast team. John Warren takes over as the lead for OSU. The Beavs still operate a single camera only, and recruits know that OSU is "where you go to die" as a talented high school baseball player.
Parker calls his 4th national championship for UofO baseball in 2029, and the memory of what OSU and Pat Casey accomplished are a long distant memory.
OSU drops baseball and adds co-ed bass fishing as a scholarship sport. Goss stadium at Coleman field is torn down and converted into a bass pond, to compete at the highest level. Nobody cares.
UofO wins 8 of 10 championships from 2035 to 2045. Two separate 4 title runs, cementing them as the best college baseball program of all time.
I die, a hollow shell of a man, bitter and alone because of the anger that has ruled my life since March 15th of 2021. I am not alone, as beaver baseball fans across the state suffer a similar fate.
I wish it were different, but this is exactly what is gonna happen. Fire up youtube and watch the good old times, because this whole thing is done.
