About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by Oregon State athletics, focusing on coaching decisions and funding issues.

Scott Barnes does not get it, and Oregon State keeps paying the price. We break down why Scott Rueck must be locked up now, what Justin Joyner’s walking into and what his arrival means for Beavs men’s hoops, and the brutal funding gap that explains why it’s so hard for Oregon State to compete. Plus, women’s hoops praise and more Barnes Files smoke. #GoBeavs #OregonState #BelligerentBeavs #ScottBarnes #ScottRueck #JustinJoyner #OregonStateBasketball #BarnesFiles
