What to watch for in Beaver football land

First, some events worth knowing about and considering checking out.

* On Friday the Joe Beaver show will be in Portland at the Bridgeport Brewery. The go from 12-2 and usually have prizes (tickets) and things to give away. Go down and say "Hi" to Mike Parker.

* This weekend Fox Sports will be previewing the 4 northwest football teams for the upcoming 2006 season. Look for it on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday - 2pm UW, 2:30 WSU. Sunday 4pm - OSU, 4:30 - UO. They are replayed Monday starting at 7pm.

* ABC is previewing the college football season on Saturday at 3:30pm. Doubt we'll have any significant Beaver news though.

* The weekend practice schedule looks like this: Saturday 2-5 and no Sunday practice.
