Oregon State football snapped their losing streak with a win to remember against the Washington State Cougars over the weekend. Even if they're the only one this year, beating a conference opponent just has that little extra magic. Your host Matt Bagley recaps the exciting win in Corvallis, plus dives into why there's reason to be optimistic about Wayne Tinkle's Beaver basketball team after a close loss to the Ducks.

Then, there's the matter of a Black Friday showdown with the Boise State Broncos this week, plus Bagley's five other games you should watch this week. Go Beavs.
