Trent Bray asks fans of Oregon in Oregon, the donors to stick by beavers despite 0-6 starts

CORVALIS – With the sports director Scott Barnes and the deputy Ad Brent Blaylock present at the back of the room on Monday, Trent Bray spoke clearly.

Oregon State Football will need more commitment to fans and donors – no less – if they want to compete, said Bray. The same goes for his players and the remaining assistant coaches after the dismissal of the special team coordinator Jamie Christian.

But the beavers are still 0-6.

“Very simple. The way I look at it is, the way things go – badly or not as you want – you need more,” said Bray. “This is when you need to pour in stuff. This is what I would say. Recuctant and remove you will not improve the situation.

“If we all want to go through that – I talk to everyone – we have to put it more.”

It is a difficult sale for Bray: we do not earn, so give us more money. There is no existing basis to serve as proof of concept.

Many fans do not know if Bray is the right person to make this argument, or if it even holds water given the failure of this list to meet its own expectations. The program under the leadership of Bray finds himself in disarray, and the problems of gaming for the Bearvers have less to do with a lack of talent than a culture that seems to be missing.

Bray admitted that the Osu locker room was distraught after loss of road in the condition of the Appalachians.

“I’m not going to lie, this game hurt us,” said Bray about the loss of state of the Appalachians and his impact on the locker room. “Because this one we expected to win, had multiple opportunities to win, and no. So, will not even try to lie on this subject. But repercussions with them (Sunday), they were resilient all year round in the way they bounced not to obtain the results they want. And I saw it (Sunday) and to see the rest of the season.”

Millions of dollars have been invested in this list in the transfer portal alone – including 1.5 million dollars for the quarter -Arrière Maalik Murphy, who was disappointed during his first season after the transfer of Duke. A report of $ 250,000 each was invested in tight ends Jackson Bowers and Riley Williams, none of which made a significant contribution on the ground.

Some members of small dollars cancel their individual subscriptions to the OSU’s zero operation following the controversy in the school agreement with BluePrint Sports. Donors of Oregon State at all levels are impatient to progress in the progress of a team that has lost 12 of its last 13 games. The results of the following six games could break some.

Bray dismissed Christian, and the remaining calendar offers at least two victories; FCS Lafayette and 0-6 Sam Houston State are among the teams that are left in the 2025 calendar.

Beavers need to win. Constantly competitive appearing will not be enough.

“Our return on investment this year was much better than a year ago,” said Bray. “Is it perfect and all those who get something that contributes as we hope?”

Money always reigns in modern university football: the best price lists are more often those with the best players, and having the best players lead to more victories. In the end, the culture separates the large teams from the peloton.

The OSU has no clear path to be part of the pack. But Bray’s argument is not to abandon the beavers now, or it could get worse. You cannot develop a culture if there is no one left to build it.

But what’s worse than Zero Wins?
