Welcome to a Brief History of Stanford-Oregon State. The Stanford Cardinal travel to Corvallis to take on the Oregon State Beavers this week. To mark the occasion, I’ll be giving a general outline of this old-school series. It isn’t the flashiest matchup that Stanford has, and the two teams have never directly been in competition for the league title, but the Cardinal have been playing Oregon State since they first joined the PCC in 1919, so there is a lot to cover nonetheless.
