[CTcard]

Frustrating to see Oregon State give such a poor accounting of themselves. 

I find the cult of Gary Andersen odd.
The media seems to universally praise the rebuilding job he has done in Corvalis, with Jon Wilner a leading cheerleader.

What Andersen did was take over a team that went:
9-4, 7-6, 5-7
And improved them to records of:
2-10, 4-8, 0-1 and counting.

Now no doubt the 2016 version was better than the 2015 disaster, and it is true that Riley's last teams seemed to be going in the wrong direction. Still, the improvement trend isn't so clear to me.

But, I am not to be trusted here. I am definitely biased against the guy ever since he left Wisconsin because the admissions standards for football players were too high.
