2017 is upon us. It's finally here. In a few short hours Oregon State will begin their season against a tough opponent in Colorado State, but this post isn't about game predictions or Gary Andersen's record in season openers (3-5 at the FBS level) or which uniforms the Beavers will wear (I kind of like the white uniforms).
This post is about numbers.
See, I like some statistics in my sports. I like the way they allow us to argue about players that never played on the field together. The running backs that might have reached number one in yards gained had they stayed for their senior years (Jaquizz Rodgers, Steven Jackson).
