Everyone is talking about former Beaver turned Bronco, Cole Clasen

I mentioned this a week or two ago but it seems to be the big story now. Cole Clasen is back. Unfortunately it's not in a Oregon State Beaver uniform. Last season he transferred to Boise State after the LSU game due to a lack of playing time and continual issues he was having with the university. You remember Cole. He emerged as a walk-on true freshman starter in the 2001 season when the Beavs were hurting for receivers because nobody could catch the ball. He was the Mike Hass story before there was a Mike Hass. He looked destined to have a place in the Beavers hearts as a solid performing underdog. Well, things didn't work out for Cole here, but I hope they do at Boise State. Just not at the Beavers expense.

Here are the multitude of stories on Cole's return written from both sides of the story:

Corvallis Gazette-Times - Clasen set to make return to Oregon State

The Idaho Statesman - Player Profile: Wide receiver ready to face off against former teammates at Oregon State

The Oregonian - Now, Clasen wants an OSU loss
