Oregon State used three similar helmets from 1986-1996. It is closest to the 1991-1994 helmet. (There was an overlapping 1993-1996 helmet, but it had black letters, as opposed to orange.) The 1986-1990 helmet had extra white stripes. Oregon State wore all black uniforms with those helmets from 1992-1994. Kind of a weird era to bring back the uniforms from. 30th anniversary? Terrible look recalling an awful era of OSU football. Doubt Bray (who would have been less about 10 years old and living in EW at the time) had this in mind. Idea must be to cool down the players but orange over orange over white would have worked. And looked a lot better. |

I still don't understand why the Beavs' sideline faces the sun, without shade (and takes the lash of wet weather and wind in the face during temperate rain forest November games).

It's the TV angle side. Some teams show the visiting sideline others home sideline. My guess is that they want to show the home team sideline. |

And, now... it'll consistently be the fullest side with students below, and most of the sections 112-120 sold. |

It is closest to the entrance/exit. And it is on the student section side. When there is not soul-destroying sun or rain, it is the side to be on. I agree that it would probably make more sense for Oregon State to take the West Side during sun and weather, though. And that is particularly true in the sun while foolishly wearing black. |

GOAT And second is not particularly close. Hass is closer than you think. Hass was taller and probably slightly stronger in the upper body. In all other ways, Cooks was superior and usually by a wide margin. Speed. Elusiveness. Jumping. Even though Hass was taller, he had a smaller upper body, a smaller catch radius and smaller hands. No, not close at hall. You could argue that Hass fit into his role better or something. That I might listen to. I believe that that is everyone's best argument with regards to Hass. (But I tend to think that that leads to people overvaluing a system receiver, like Hass, as I have spent enough time on over the years.) Hass was a great story. He fit really well into the doing more with less and Lunchbox U. mantras. Fan favorite. But just nowhere as good of a receiver as Cooks. And Cooks was two years younger than Hass, while doing everything that he did. (And I can wax poetic about how longevity is overrated and how true age in college is underrated, but I will try and avoid that, since there are multiple posts on the subject littered throughout the board.) Cooks is the GOAT. I hope one of the current receivers knocks him off that pedestal eventually. |

Talent wise, not close at “hall” as you say Hass had a different kind of talent. I’m biased, that’s ok. |
