James Rodgers Granted medical Hardship.

By Hunter Hendrickson

Oregon state Senior WR and KR and PR James Rodgers, has been granted Medical hardship and will be able to Play in 2011.

James Rodgers has been a Major Impact to the Beavers team, same with his Brother, Jacquizz Rodgers. The Beavers only one 5 games last year and mostly due to James Rodgers being injured.

James got Injured vs. Arizona in Tuscon when He got his Knee Twisted Backwards and was not a pretty sight. He would leave and never return. Rodgers was already Impacting the Beavers despite having 2 losses when he left.

"I'm thankful for this opportunity and that I have another chance to play at Oregon State," Rodgers said. "I want to thank the fans and everyone for their support."

Rodgers will likely enter his senior year as a postseason Honors candidate after being preseason All-American according to several publications prior to the 2010 season and was a first team All-Pac-10 performer in 2009.

And Who cares about Terrell Pryor, or Andy Dalton or even Cam Newton. James Rodgers is my pick for the 2011 Heisman. Him and his brother have done so much for this beaver squad.

And not to mention, James Rodgers was with the beavers when they got three wins. (Louisville, Arizona State, and Arizona. The game he got injured on). The Beavers had only 2 wins when James left and was injured. (Califorina and USC). So losing James hurts this Beavers team badly.

"We always believed that James met the requirements to gain a fifth year," head coach Mike Riley said. "But it is certainly nice to make everything official. James is a special person and a special player. I'm excited to get to work with him for another year."

And the Beavers will Certinley need James Rodgers. Thanks for Reading.

Raiders Fire Tom Cable.

By Hunter Hendrickson

The Oakland Raiders informed coach Tom Cable on Tuesday that they will not bring him back as coach next season even though he led them to their best record in eight years this season at 8-8.

The Raiders annouced their decision not to exercise a Two-year $5 Milloin option on Cable's contract for 2011 and '12, two days after wrapping up an 8-8 season that gave Oakland its first non-losing record since winning the 2002 AFC championship

"Coach Cable was informed the club would not be exercising its option for the 2011 season, and that he's free to seek employment elsewhere," his agent, Don Yee, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Teams already have shown interest in Tom.

The Raiders now begin their search for their sixth coach since Jon Gruden left for Tampa Bay following the 2001 season. Cable lasted longer than any of the previous five, with a 17-27 record since being promoted from offensive line coach to interim head coach early in the 2008 season after Lane Kiffin was fired.

Cable had wide support from his players, who credited him with helping make the team a contender in the AFC West this season after a run of seven straight years of at least 11 losses.

But that was not enough to persuade owner Al Davis to bring him back for a third full season. The Raiders could have waited two weeks to make this decision but acted quickly.

Well, until more Coach news, GO RAIDERS! RAIDER NATION!

Oregon state got down early 18-13 but would race back to take tie it at 28. The Beavers got awesome Playing by Sophmore Joe Burton again. Burton had 17 points on Thursday night vs. Arizona st.

The Beavers would be in a tight battle in the second half with the Cats, but we would start to pull away with a 49-43 lead by "THE SNAKE" Calvin Haynes.

The Cats would come battling back to tie it at 51 with a Layup By HOMO Jones. Im sorry Excuse My Languge Larmont Jones.

But not soon after that Joe Burton would make 2 clutch Free Throws to take back a 53-51 lead. And the Beavers would later take a 59-53 lead with only 6:21 left By THE SNAKE Calvin Haynes Layup.

During this game, Jared Cunningham would DUNK RIGHT OVER HOMO JONES!WOWOWOWOWZEE. And look at that the Beavers took a 66-62 lead with 2:56 left. Cunningham would also tie the Free Throw record at 34 in this game But would miss his 35.

The Beavers made some Clutch Free throws to take a 74-70 lead. But Zona hit a Shot and made it a 74-72 lead. "THE SNAKE" Calvin Haynes made some Free Throws and we won it 76-75.

Grading the 2010 OMOC Sports teams.

By Hunter Hendrickson

Report Card Time, of course the time I dont like when I get my Grades so lets grade the OMOC sports teams.

Reds: A. A outstanding 2010 season where the Cincinnati Reds went 91-71 making the Playoffs and Clinching the NL central was a big deal in 2010. The Reds have Great hitting, such as Jay Bruce, Joey Votto, and Drew Stubbs. Wait one more guy! JOHNNY GOMES! The Reds have the best hitting in the NL and Possibley the MLB. Great Job. A!

Raiders: B- Last season it was a D so it has been very Improved. They are the Best Improved In the OMOC sports teams next to the Reds. The Raiders need to get better on Defense and hopefully we will get some new saftey's and even some better Receivers. I would love to see some great draft picks.

Bengals: D. Not good. I dont Blame it on Marvin Lewis or Carson Palmer. Those guys are good. I blame it on the 2 Dumba** Receivers Terrell Owens and Chad "Ochocinco". If I was the owner Id drop those 2 and My team would be good.

Beaver Football: C. Defense, Defense, Defense. We have all we need on Offense But some Faster and better stronger Defensive Players would be really nice. Oh and a Kicker. Talk about Justin Kahut.

Trail Blazers: B+. We are getting lower. We were a A+ 2 years ago when we had the youngest team in the NBA and Now we have 2 guys who are both 35 starting in our lineup and that isnt gonna get it done. A B+ is still strong. Even know a 17-16 record but we still have some of that Pixie dust from last years March.

EOU football: C-. We are Improving but we need to Recruit some Defensive Players and even get a New QB one that is better than we have now.

Habs: A. We have all we need with Great Offense and Our D could get better but we have the best Goalie in the League.

Beaver Basketball: C. Getting better. Defense Needs to Improve But our Offense is Very good and get some Wins in the Pac-10.

Raiders Finish season 8-8, division Record 6-0.

By Hunter Hendrickson

Finally, The Oakland Raiders have finished with a winning season not losing. Its been a long time since the Raiders have done this. Let me check, oh since 2002: the last time we have been in the super bowl. The Raiders won today 31-10. Heres what happened.....

Raiders got off to a slow start same with the Cheifs but KC got on the board first with a Ryan Succop 30 YD FG to take a 3-0 lead into the 2nd quarter for the Cheifs.

But, the Raiders would get the first Touchdown of the game with a 5 Yard pass from Jason Campbell to Chaz Schilens to take a 7-3 lead. Raiders would get a FG later in the half to take a 10-3 halftime lead.

The Cheifs would tie it up at 10 with a Jamaal Charles 5 YD run and that would be the last time the Cheifs score in this game.

The Raiders would score to end the 3rd quarter with a Michael Bush 26-YD run to take a 17-10 lead and would hang on from there.

In the 4th, Jacoby Ford took a pitch from Michael Bush Reverse Play and take it 10 yards for a Silver and Black TD. Raiders would lead it 24-10.

Raiders would score just one last time with a pick-6 by Stanford Routt and The Men in Silver and Black end their season in a Postive note, 31-10.

The Raiders season is over and they finish 8-8 .500. Better than a lot of teams this season just that close to making the Playoffs. We swept the Division abut only had 2 wins outside of our divsion. Great Job Raiders! See ya Next year.

3 Raiders Named Pro Bowlers.

By Hunter Hendrickson

The Oakland Raiders named 3 pro bowlers from this year including 2 from the defense.

Nnadmi Asomugha has been named a Pro Bowler for the 3rd time in his NFL Career along with DE Richard Seymour, who Punched Ben Roethilsberger right in the face this year, and last, Punter Shane Lechler who leads the AFC in Punting this year.

Lechler leads the AFC in punting (47.0 yards per attempt) and net punting (40.6) and is second in the NFL to NFC selection Mat McBriar of Dallas in both categories. He noted to Raiders.com that his numbers are down a bit from last year's career highs in both categories (51.1 and 43.9)."It wasn't one of my better years, but it was still nice to be atop the AFC," Lechler told Raiders.com.

It was Seymour's first selection for the Raiders after being named five times with the New England Patriots. In 13 games, Seymour has 48 tackles, 5.5 sacks and was dominant during a three-game win streak.

Raiders Lose to Colts, Elimanated from the Playoffs.

Peyton Manning made sure the Idianapolis Colts came out ahead in a game it turned out they didn't need to win to stay in control of the AFC South race.Manning threw three touchdown passes and iced the game with a 27-yard keeper to help the Indianapolis Colts beat the Oakland Raiders 31-26 Sunday in a game that turned out to have little playoff meaning.The Colts (9-6) allowed Jacoby Ford to return the opening kick for a touchdown, overcame a pair of interceptions by Manning in the second half and survived four field goals from Sebastian Janikowski, including two from more than 50 yards, to move within a win of clinching the AFC South title for their ninth straight playoff berth.-ESPN.com Raiders suck and so does their defense see ya next year!Go Raiders-Hunter Hendrickson

By Hunter Hendrickson

This is what I want Santa to bring me for Chirstmas from Chirstmas.

Reds: Jay Bruce to be the Leadoff man! cmon he had over 10 homers batting Leadoff next season! And Even a New Pitcher because Arroyo,Volquez,wood bailey and Cueto would get it down.

Raiders: A New Defensive Coach. Our D is can be good but I want a new one so we dont give up much Points.

Bengals: New Coach, Lewis sucks, New QB New WR and More and even a New Defense. And get Benson out of there that Crimnal.

Blazers: Trade Roy for somebody like Monta Ellis somebody fast and Healthy. Because Roy cannot stay healthy this Team will suck. And if A losing Streak starts, Fire Nate Mcmillan.

Beavers Football team: For James Rodgers for sure to come back next year. We need him. without him, we may not win a game next season. And a New QB. Katz Sucks! Fire Our Defensive Coach and Mike Riley He sucks! Get New Defensive Players!

Eastern Oregon: I dunno maybe a New Defense. New QB!

Beavers Defeat UIC in final non-Confrence game, 74-54.

By Hunter Hendrickson

Roberto Nelson, The Oregon State Forward had a Career day today vs. UIC which beaver Fans were looking very forward to. He and Jared Cunningham ripped apart the UIC Flames 74-54, Heres what happened.....

The Beavers opened with the lead and kept it all the way to the end starting with a 27-9 run that Nelson had a couple points in and so did Cunningham.

The Beavers took a 39-19 lead at the half, One of the most biggest leads ever at the half in Beaver history 3 men all had 10 points at the half, Cunningham, Nelson, and Starks.

The Beavers opened up in the 2nd half with a 48-26 lead tremondous Ball playing by these boys.

The Beavers would then take a 55-37 lead and thats when Beaver nation could breathe and say, "Yes! We finally won."

And yes the Beavers won 74-54 in their last Non-Confrence game Nelson finished with 14 points, Cunningham had 22 and Starks had 12.

Leadoff man Likely between Phillips and Stubbs.

By Hunter Hendrickson

Drew Stubbs and Brandon Phillips Great Teamates for the Cincinnati Reds are now in a race to see who will be the leadoff man for the Reds in 2011.

Reds hitters in the leadoff spot were awesome last year, with a .244 Average, .306 OPS, and last and 26 steals last season. But Phillips and Stubbs both batted better than all the leadoff hitters of last year.

The Reds had Jay Bruce batting leadoff for a while when Stubbs was hurt and Phillips was batting 5th. Bruce hit as many as 10 homers last season while batting leadoff.

Phillips batted .275 last season with a Career best .332 OPS and only stole 16 bases.

Stubbs batted .255 last season and would be the best batter here to bat leadoff because of speed. Phillips has speed But if you compared Him to Drew, Phillips is slow.

Another option for leadoff is Chris Heisey who was a rookie last year and wasent that bad. But Gurranteed who ever bats leadoff will shine bright.

The Reds will have a decision to make between Phillips and stubbs and I beilve it will be Stubbs but you never know.

Reds The Favorite, but NL central Wide open.

By Hunter Hendrickson

In recent years, The NL central has been wide open. And it looks like it will stay the same in 2011. With the Cubs and the Brewers making some additions to their teams. Heres what might happen....

In 2008 Reds had a bad season And so did every team in the NL central exepct for the Cubs who won the division, The Year after in 2009, The Cardinals won the division and then in 2011, The Cincinnati Reds had a 91-71 record and won the NL central with a Jay Bruce walk-off homer. Heres the predictions for this year...

The Cubs made a Free agent move getting Tampa Bay Catcher-1st baseman Carlos Pena who only had a 196. Average last year as the Rays lost in the Divisional series. The Milwaukee Brewers made a Move Trading 4 players for the 2009 AL Cy young winner, Zack Grenike. Who had a Horrible season last year with the royals.

However, The Cards, Astros, and the Pirates did not make pretty much any moves. Looks like another bad season for Wiz Khalifa's Pirates. The Cards did let go of Brendan Ryan.

The Reds will have a Young SS starting next year, Paul Janish, and no Team in the NL central Possibly NL, does not have more power than us. Our Power: Votto, Bruce, Stubbs, Gomes and even a Pitcher named Arloidis Chapman. Who threw over 105 MPH last year in his Debut.

It looks like a Good Season for the Reds who are the Favorites, but The NL is Wide open. Heres the OMOC Sports Predictions NL: Reds, Philles, Giants, Rockies.
