Civil War now Oregon State's bowl game
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- The Oregon State Beavers understand that hardly anyone gives them a chance against No. 9 Oregon on Saturday, but the extent to which some say they're supposed to lose has the players shaking their heads.
"Wow, 29-point underdogs?" defensive end Scott Crichton said. "Well, we were underdogs last week and we just blew them out."
That was the Beavers' 38-21 win over Washington on Saturday, probably the brightest moment so far in a dismal 3-8 (3-5 Pac-12) season.

ASU official: Erickson out as coach
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Dennis Erickson is out as Arizona State coach, a university official told The Associated Press, after another season in which the results didn't meet the expectations for the Sun Devils.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity on Sunday because details of Erickson's departure have not been finalized.
Erickson will meet with athletic director Lisa Love as early as today and, at 64, could be allowed to retire rather than be fired. He is unlikely to be with the team in any bowl game it might play.
