A few things ...
-- I was at the news conference yesterday that introduced Jonathan Smith as Oregon State's football coach.
Two observations:
1) Smith not only said all the right things about wanting to be there and OSU being his dream job, he choked up saying them. If that was an act, Smith should forget about football and go to Hollywood.
2) He said one of the biggest things he took from his association with Chris Petersen at Boise State and Washington was the importance of building a culture.
That starts with an emphasis on doing all the little things right, which lays a foundation for the bigger things that win football games.
