Travis's Bio

My name is Travis Rice, I'm a native of Corvallis, OR (Home of the Oregon State Beavers). I've followed OSU football through the 90's and up until now. I've seen 1 win seasons and I've seen 11 win seasons and Fiesta Bowl victories (in person). I provide my opinion, however I provide facts that support my opinions. I'm open for positive and negative feedback and love talking college football.

Hey Travis!

Are you ready for some football!? I am beginning to breakdown the 2009 preview for the USC Football, position by position. First up: Linebackers. Hope it's a good read and you have a chance to read it and leave feedback!

Fresno tailgate was good but in the satium was bad with fans throwing stuff on Oregon fans.
San Jose was in a ghetto area we missed tailgate though becasue of traffic the game had started by the time we got there.
Idaho wasnt bad but nothing exciting either.
we missed WSU because we went to Idaho at 2 pm and WSU at 7 but the in stadium experience was fine.
Stanford was ok. amazing campus. we went on homecoming so it was a different atmosphere than i think it would have been otherwise.
Purdue was pretty good. friendly people in the parking lot and on the walk to the stadium.
inside with the students was a little differnt story but i am sure i found the one truely bad kid in the place. It is a talent i have to attract the biggest Jack @$$

I have been to games at Oregon, Oregon State, Washigton, Washington State, Idaho, Fresno, San Jose State, Stanford, and Purdue. I actually have been to a game at Hawaii too but that was a long time ago.

this coming season i hope to make it to Boise when Oregon goes and UNLV when Oregon State goes as well as a game at Minnesota since my parents live there now.

I don't know what upsets me more, Pitt loosing or wasting 3+ hours of my life watching that peice of crap. Congradulations on the victory, very well diserved. If our teams face each other again hopefully the Pitt OC will wait till after the game to do drugs.

Hey Travis,

As the closest thing Pitt football has to a community leader I wanted to know if you would be interested in colaborating on a sun bowl preview with me. I think between the USC game and the Civil war I've watched about 5 total quarters of beaver football this year and really would be talking out of my ass if I tried to assess the football team you have up there. Let me know if you're interested.
