I am HONESTLY NOT one of the “blame the zebras” for every loss, BUT….. I can’t remember ALL the times a phantom or MISSED call cost the Beavs at the most inopportune time. Dozens of games we were either leading or had some momentum only to be devastated by a (not so) questionable call. MOST of the time we were in the friendly (  ) confines of Parker stadium. It was bizarre. I remember those as MUCH as I remember the wins. My bad Pat Chaffey "fumble" at Hawaii; ball being blown dead on a fumble by Cincinnati's Tony Pike, erasing an OSU TD; Jordan Poyer's phantom unnecessary roughness penalty on Owasu; ball being blown dead on Joey LaRocque fumble recovery for a TD vs. Oregon; phantom holding call on Isaac Seumalo in final minutes against Wisconsin; phantom PIs on Stanford TE in final seconds of Cory Hall's coaching debut; celebration penalty on Mike Hass at WSU; ... I could go on and on. |

I'm thankful we won that game because that ref - Larry Farina - might not have made it off the field in one piece had that call cost OSU the game. |

Time was when we’d be celebrating a win like tonight’s for the next year rather than the next week.
From 1976 to 1979 we had at least one big home win each autumn to cling to: Joe Roth-led California in 1976, #13 Brigham Young and Gifford Nielsen in 1977, #9 UCLA in 1978 and Stanford in 1979; that Stanford team was nothing great but it was Oregon State’s only win of the season. And since we were winless in 1980 that one had to sustain us for two years.

To be (absolutely) honest; in ‘76 I was playing football at Clackamas CC, and the Beavs were BARELY on my radar. Too much else going on. I was a running back and Tony Dorsett was on my mind more than the Beavs. Happens.
