First things first....this game doesn't count in the Pac-12 conference standings. Now the Beavers currently ranked number three in the nation in the latest D1 poll are gearing up for a trip to the Palouse on Thursday and the start of a big three-game series against WSU Friday. But every year the Beavs and Ducks play a couple of non-conference games usually on a Tuesday. OSU enters this afternoon's game with a 32-7 record sitting in third place in the conference at 12-6. The Ducks....21-20 and 8-13. 5:pm is the start time on Rip City Radio 620 with Mike Parker calling the action from PK Park.
