Also my wife make fun of potato salad stadium all the time. Doesn’t say much for your sense of gratitude. I’m grateful for Al and Pat Reser’s monumental contributions to OSU. My wife said it not me....

1.) Media and branding, OSU needs to be on billboards around the State. I live in Bend and it boils my blood there are quack bill boards in town even though there is a OSU campus here... OSU is almost nonexistent in S. Oregon as well. I think commercials would be have a huge reach and impact as well. Promote, promote,y promote!!! 2.) Ditch Nike. They will never give us 100% and we will always be "little whatever" in their eyes. Go to Under Armour, I'm sure they would love to compete with Nike on their home state. I'm sure they might even have the money to get rid of GA. 3.) The need make games more fan friendly. No more chainsaw, no more mismatched enterences and songs/videos. Add more fan events before, during and after games. Try to get a band to play at halftime or have a pre/post game concert. At the very least play relevant music fans like, no more chumbawumba. Have more vendors and activities outside of THE DAM HOUSE (new stadium name?) Bring out some t-shirt guns, give away free shirts so fans match more... noise makers, posters, stickers, ANYTHING FREE! 4.) Finish the Dam House (Reser) 5.) Just win hey lax, I love the chainsaw. I think its very creative when there are sounds or images etc. that go with the mascot. That's just me. For sure, I think the audio replay is cheesy, however, if they did a "real time" thing like the Timbers do, that might be cool.

Phil Knight and NIKE have done nothing for OS. please feel free to open your eyes I just said we will always be second rate compared to their affiliation with tsdtr... do you work for Nike?

I'm not so sure it was advice, more of a compliment for being proactive. Back to logos - On the one hand, I would love old benny coming back, but I also hate being the school that keeps changing our logos (feels desperate), so with that said, I hope we keep our current logo for the foreseeable future. I do like that we at least make the retro stuff available for shirts, hats, etc. Seems like a good compromise. Look at how many logos we have had: www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/798/Oregon_State_Beavers/They also are missing one. There was one between the 1951 Sailor Benny and the 1997 Angry Beaver. I can't find any online images (in research I've only ever seen it in the 1997 yearbook on the old "litebright" message board in the background in Parker Stadium after beating Cal, and in a physical collection in the OSU Archives). It is a ripoff of the 1960s "Pacific 8 Family Portrait," part of a collection of paintings, and the Angry Beaver is based off of it: i.ebayimg.com/images/i/151061674770-0-1/s-l1000.jpgI'm guessing, besides being ugly, that it was scrubbed from OSU resources because of the copyright concerns. The Athletic Department was not prepared for the success after the 28 years and it was a pretty loose ship for a few years as they suddenly had to be more organized, so it wouldn't surprise me if the copyrights weren't even noticed when someone scrounged up the missing logo.

Again, the idea that you would ditch the largest sports apparel company in the world - that treats OSU much better than its market share would otherwise deserve - continues to be an asinine position.

Nothing? What do you expect them to do, give us the same treatment as UofO? Nonsense. Do you think we could get a better deal from another sponsor, given the current condition of our football program? Nonsense. uo got most of their $$ from Phil Knight, not Nike You are probably correct. But I am absolutely certain that Nike spends more on the *ucks than they do on the Beavers. Just on uniforms alone. And don't kid yourself. Any athlete being wooed by the university loves the glamor of all the different uniforms. Look how crazy the Beavers were for the dark uniforms we wore a couple weeks back. Players love it.

Money talks, and programs like Washington for example get big bucks from having Alaska Airlines pay for naming rights! Why don't we get A big name for Gill and change that name? As far as Reser goes, it needs to be Nike Coliseum or Intel Stadium. I love the Intel Stadium idea, our stadium could be high tech and have Intel inside. Intel could set up massive Wifi and on our phones and tablets there could be real time stats, replays on demand, player bios etc. During a game they could try and set a world record for people FaceTiming the game to friends... We need to get the marketing, we need to finish Reser (Intel Stadium) and give a reason for the fans to want to attend the games instead of sitting on their couch. And after we score touchdowns we need something cooler than legal oregon sparklers and piccolo petes! Don't slam devoted OSU benefactors because you don't think they are sufficiently cool. That's about as dumb as it gets. And BTW, the day that OSU plays football in "Nike Stadium" will be my last day as an OSU fan. Who slammed OSU benefactors? We need more money coming in! And Nike has done a lot for OSU, but go ahead and kick them in the teeth. They wear nike uniforms and shoes and underwear... why are you still a fan then? You might as well stop being a fan now, why wait?

Of course they spend more on the ucks, and that is unfortunate. They still spend more on us than the other companies would by virtue of being the other in-state school. Cut off our nose to spite our face?

At least, I'm hoping that's what they did... Yeah why post this in a thread talking about the state of the program and what can be done to help... Beavernation Home of the 2016 Roof Banners and Half built stadiums... but don't suggest anything that might bring more money in, this thread is about changing logos back to sailor benny... and ditching nike for Kit and Ace or Cotopaxi.

I feel sorry for you Better yet just PM me so you can be more direct with me since I seem to get your panties on a bunch. Maybe we could meet up some day and hash out our differences over a beer.
