Belligerent Beavs

Oregon State Executive Deputy Athletics Director Brent Blaylock and Blueprint Sports CEO Rob Sine’s history raises eyebrows as Blueprint takes over Oregon State’s Dam Nation collective. What’s actually going on here? Sound on. #GoBeavs #BeaverFootball #ReserStadium

Blueprint Sports bought our collective and (surprise!) JP and Benny just dug up three-year-old reports showing a 20% commission on NIL deals. The two of them go scorched-earth on what that means for Oregon State (where’s Terry?): Maalik Murphy’s future, Bray maybe losing the locker room, who actually controls our marks (hi Learfield), nepotism concerns, and whether the NIL setup just sold us out. Also: Civil War prep and why the offseason might get messier than anyone expects. 🦫 WATCH FOR 👀 Pulling back the curtain on the Blueprint / Dam Nation acquisition 🧠 Maalik Murphy’s future | QB market + recruiting fallout 🧩 Bray and locker room vibes | growing pains or cracking foundation? 🚧 Nepotism flags | How close is Brent Blaylock & Blueprint? 🔮 Civil War preview | expectations vs reality SOUND OFF Will Maalik stay or bolt?

Special teams went full chaos. Long-snap yips. Flags on flags. Fresno stole it late, but Maalik Murphy slung and Taz Reddicks cooked. We debate Bray going HC-first and handing DC to Rod Chance, tackle fixes, OL discipline, and if the Beavs should just go for every 4th until a snapper exists. Texas Tech next. Can Oregon State football make it weird in Lubbock or is this a woodchipper? 🦫 WATCH FOR 🔥 Special teams meltdown | long-snap saga | two-point math 🧠 Maalik x Taz chemistry | WR2 behind Trent Walker 🛠️ OL cadence fixes | tackling standard | special teams triage 🧩 Bray in head-coach mode | DC playcalling with Rod Chance 🚧 Defensive identity check | chunk plays vs stops 🔮 Texas Tech preview | expectations vs reality SOUND OFF Your TTU score pick. Who is WR2 behind Trent Walker. Tempo from snap one. Should Chance call the D. Go for every 4th until a snapper exists.

Oregon State treads lightly with NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang, but is it costing them? One take: a little urgency could go a long way. Tag a Beav #BeaverFootball #GoBeavs

Transfer QB Maalik Murphy goes OFF on an offensive assistant after just 3 quarters. The playcalling ain’t it. Something was promised and not delivered. Sound on #BeaverFootball #GoBeavs
