Oregon State Paints It Blue to Prepare for Trip to Boise State

Four hundred and forty gallons of paint -- a white primer coat followed by a layer or two of blue -- were sprayed on to the practice fields at Oregon State on Monday.

Home Makeover in Corvallis? No. Just some temporary redecorating in the name of experience, acclimation and a little media coverage for the No. 24 Beavers, who will be in Boise on Saturday night to take on No. 3 Boise State on the Broncos' distinctive home field in a game viewed as the last, best chance to knock the Broncos off their national championship track.

Head coach Mike Riley said athletic director Bob de Carolis has been cooking up the plan for more than a year.

"I think he was hoping for the build-up that this game has become, with them where they are and us being ranked," Riley said. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
