In 1999, after several consecutive losing seasons, Oregon State started 6-3. The Beavers lost three conference games and could only manage one road win. Oregon State won a home game against the team from Arizona on the schedule before losing in Autzen by two scores. The Beavers were invited to their first bowl game after a several-year absence. They were invited to play a WAC team under a first year head coach, who righted the ship after a terrible losing season the year before. In the bowl game against the WAC Champion, Oregon State struck first to go up 7-0 but could only manage a second quarter field goal. The WAC Champion scored all 10 of the points in the third quarter to go up by double digits. The Beavers only managed one fourth quarter score in what ultimately resulted in a narrow loss.
In 2021, after several consecutive losing seasons, Oregon State started 6-4. The Beavers lost three conference games and could only manage one road win. Oregon State won a home game against the team from Arizona on the schedule (Arizona State) before losing in Autzen by two scores. The Beavers were invited to their first bowl game after a several-year absence. In the bowl game against the Mountain West Champion, Oregon State struck first to go up 7-0 but could only manage a second quarter field goal. The Mountain West Champion scored all 10 of the points in the third quarter to go up by double digits. The Beavers only managed one fourth quarter score in what ultimately resulted in a narrow loss.
Best season since 2013, arguably the best season since 2012. Let's hope that 2022 turns out like 2000.

Best season since 2013, arguably the best season since 2012. Let's hope that 2022 turns out like 2000. Oregon State beat a bowl-bound WAC team by three scores in 1999 and also picked up win number six in the home game against the Bay Area team in the third-to-last weekend of the season. It is also interesting to note that 1999 is the same calendar as 2021. The 2021 season just lasted an extra week, so: 1999 2021September 4 @ Nevada @ Purdue September 11 Fresno State Hawai'i September 18 Georgia Southern Idaho September 25 Bye @ USC October 2 @ USC Washington October 9 Washington @ Wazzu October 16 @ Stanford Bye October 23 UCLA Utah October 30 @ Wazzu @ California November 6 California @ Colorado November 13 Arizona Stanford November 20 @ Oregon Arizona State November 27 @ Oregon December 18 Utah State December 25 Hawai'i
So, the first five games both seasons was road game, home game against a Mountain West/WAC bowl team, Division 1-AA team, @ USC and Washington. The two Washington school results flipped in 1999 from 2021. California was in Berkeley in 2021, as opposed to Corvallis in 1999. And Stanford was in Corvallis in 2021, as opposed to at Stanford in 1999. The results were the same. A win at home, and a loss in the Bay.
The last three games of the regular season and the bowl game both played out the same: W, W, L and L.
It is also interesting to note that the Beavers finished 1999 outscoring their opponents 347-277 (+70). In 2021, the Beavers outscored their opponents 406-335 (+71), one point better than 1999.

So you’re saying we go to Fiesta Bowl next year ?……. (Don’t everyone get carried away… that’s tongue-in- cheek) Oregon State's nonconference slate consists of the previous year's sixth-place Mountain West team, a road game against a Mountain West team that they have not played against in more than 15 years (Fresno State) and a Big Sky team that the Beavers have not ever played against. Oregon State opens against USC in Reser and Stanford is game three. Oregon State plays Washington State at home and Washington on the road. Oregon State closes the season with a game against California, a road game against the team from Arizona (Arizona State) and finishes with Oregon at Reser. In 2000, Oregon State's nonconference slate consisted of the previous year's sixth-place Mountain West team, a road game against a Mountain West team that they have not played against in more than 15 years (New Mexico) and a Big Sky team that the Beavers have not ever played against. Oregon State opened against USC in Reser and Stanford is game three. Oregon State plays Washington State at home and Washington on the road. Oregon State closes the season with a game against California, a road game against the team from Arizona (Arizona) and finishes with Oregon at Reser. Oregon State exchanges the road game against UCLA with a games against Colorado in Reser and Utah in Salt Lake City. Much like in 2000, Oregon State is set to play at Rice-Eccles Stadium, a place that Oregon State has not won at in more than five years. In 2000, Oregon State played at the Roe Bowl, a place that Oregon had not won at in more than five years. Like in 2000, Oregon State misses the fourth place Pac-10/12 team from the previous year (Arizona State in 2000 and UCLA in 2022). 2022 Oregon State plays after posting a winning record for the first time in 5+ years. Prior to posting the winning season, the Beavers lost exactly 33 times over the previous four seasons (11-33 from 1995-1998 and 10-33 from 2017-2020.) There are absolutely no parallels to draw. Go Beavs!
