Feel good story of the season: Austan Pierce. Way to go Pure-Orange!

Most of you probably heard about the story Austan Pierce and Alexis Serna. Austin gave a encouraging letter to Alexis after the huge disappointment at LSU where Alexis missed three extra points. Well, Austan's letter pulled Serna out of the dumps and got him back on track. Austin is also battling cancer and now it's Alexis Serna and Beaver Nation's turn to help Austan beat it.

So some generous Beaver fans arranged for the entire Pierce family to come to Corvallis for the Wazzu game. All expenses paid. Great job to the Pure-Orange board members who made this happen. You guys are awesome!
