Greatest Quote Ever!
"It might be the safest campus in the conference, but it's easily the dullest as well. The school that consistently gets tabbed as the worst in the Pac-10 resides in Corvallis, a farm town that is as lazy as the bend in the Willamette River. Most visiting teams choose to stay an hour's drive south in Eugene near the Oregon campus rather than in Beaver country." -Sports Illustrated

Re: Greatest Quote Ever!
I saw them too. I was so confused because I didn't know teams did that. Almost every team, at least football and basketball, stay at Valley River Inn when they play OSU.goducks75 wrote:![]()

So true. My roommate saw the USC football team at the VRC when they came up to play OSU.

Good quote. But, I prefer the one where Blount faced the crowd and yelled, "No Rose Bowl Today!"

Corvallis is so bad that I have seen the football teams playing the Beavers staying Friday night at the Phoenix Grand and Salem Conference Center in "downtown" Salem. Salem people....hahahaha. Saw the UCLA buses and another team in the past seasons.

Hey now, Salem is a paradise compared to Corvallis. The Phoenix Grand is better than any accommodations found down there in Deliverance country.razduck12 wrote:Corvallis is so bad that I have seen the football teams playing the Beavers staying Friday night at the Phoenix Grand and Salem Conference Center in "downtown" Salem.

When both teams play at home, most of the time the team playing the beefers stay at the Phoenix Grand in Salem. I work banquets there and have been there while UCLA, Washington, ASU and Washington St. have been in town. It is very interesting how different the teams get ready the night before. UCLA rented out the entire conference center attached to the hotel and they had a large "300" viewing with all the favorite movie snacks.
