Rare meeting between Beavers and Gophers

There's not a lot of history between the Oregon State and Minnesota football programs.

The Beavers and Gophers have met three times with Minnesota winning twice but the teams have not played since 1981.

So it stands to reason that OSU fans might not be familiar with the Gophers.

OSU coach Gary Andersen knows the Minnesota program quite well, however. Andersen coached against the Gophers in 2013 and 2014 while he was at Wisconsin.

Will be watching The Mile High Showdown. Colorado State is my second favorite behind Arizona State.

Will be rooting for Oregon State as they have been one of my favorite Pac 12 teams since the days of Derek Anderson and Steven Jackson. Like their Orange and black plus I hate Oregon.

Rich Hand of Cleveland vs Rollie Fingers of Oakland would have been a classic, except that Fingers was, of course, a reliever.
