Oregon State athletic director Scott Barnes joined me on The Bald Faced Truth radio show (weekdays 12-3p on Portland's 102.9-FM and Eugene's 95.7-FM and 93.3-FM in Klamath Falls) to talk about the state of the union in Corvallis.
Barnes said the $1.7 million pay-day game that the Beavers played at Ohio State in the season opener -- a 77-31 loss -- isn't how he wants to do business.
"We won't do it this way," Barnes said. "This game was scheduled several years ago... it was a one-off, payday against a perennial top-five team. That's not our philosophy.
