General Discussion
I'm still trying to digest this new logo.
The fact that OSU won't comment means it's likely real.
This is my biggest issue: it doesn't convey OSU's reputation as a blue collar, hard working bunch. In fact, it doesn't convey anything. I look at it and literally feel nothing. I guess that's better than feeling repulsion while looking at the muskrat.
In short, better than looking at the muskrat, but I feel like we traded one logo that doesn't represent OSU for another.
Some things to consider:
- If it is so difficult to make a logo, why make one at all (matte black helmets would be fine).
- Why does the beaver have to look angry? The CA Parks logo is better than this one, and that beaver looks totally tame.
Open discussion.
Rebranded Logo
My thoughts in order:
- The beaver looks like it has 1980s feathered hair.
- Looks like a hockey logo.
- As bad as it is, it's better than the current logo.
- Sprague reporting this isn't the new logo. Feeling relief but also apprehension (i.e. it could be worse).
Ranking the 2013 Recruiting Class
First off, great work by Riley and staff. The classes keep getting better each year. Needed DT/CBs and stockpiled quality players are those positions.
Very difficult class to rank because there are so many good players. Gave it a shot anyway. Rankings are in order (e.g. Hunt > Nelson, etc). Some guys (e.g. Huatau) had inconclusive film (shot at weird angle, player wasn’t highlighted, etc).
*****
Dashon Hunt
Hunter Jarmon
Steven Nelson

Corey Lawrence (love this guy, reminds me of Randall Cobb). Only thing that might hold him back is no natural position.
Charlie Tuaau
Brandon Arnold
Edwin Delva
Kyle Peko (if he can stay in school)
Victor Bolden
***
Lyndon Tulimasealii
Sean Harlow (I know a lot of people think this guy is 4 or 5 talent, I don’t see it. High 3-star/good player but not elite).
Charles Okonkwo
Kyle Kempt
Lawrence Mattison
Jordan Villamin
Damian Haskins
Walter Jones
Justin Strong
Terin Solomon
Titus Failauga
Siale Huatau
**
Michael Greer (warmed up to him a little. Big weakness is lateral speed).
Darrell Songy
Utah @ Oregon State
Beavs will attempt to play basketball tonight at 7.
Kudos to Riley for holding on to a very good class and even poaching a good CB prospect. More thoughts on this within the next few days.
