Podcasts about Corvallis

Mid-October feels like a mirror. Half the season gone, and suddenly every program is staring back at itself asking: Who are we, really? This week on Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, Jim Thornby and I sat down to take stock of a college football season spinning faster than ever — coaches out, CFP contenders adjust week to week , and patience from fan bases are on life support.What we found wasn't just about wins and losses. It was about identity, timing, and the impossible math of modern college football: boosters, buyouts, and the transfer portal colliding into a single decision point.The Coaching Carousel Spins AgainThree jobs gone in a single weekend — Penn State, Oregon State, UAB — bringing the national total to eight. Each one for a different reason, but all part of a similar pattern.* Penn State went from preseason No. 2 to unemployed head coach in three weeks.* Buyouts north of $50 million are now normalized, which means emotions move faster than logic.* As Jim said, “If you're going to get rid of Coach A, you better have a damn good Coach B coming in next year.”The bigger question: do buyouts start to disappear? As the Playoff expands and the calendar stretches, schools may no longer afford impatience. Or will they only grow?Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Oregon State's Tough ResetTrent Bray's exit hurts because it was homegrown. He played there, grew as a coordinator there and loved being the Beavers Head Coach more than anything. Watching head coaches get dismissed from their alma mater is simply brutal.* Why is it an attractive job? Because the Beavs next head coach inherits a program with a playoff path in the new Pac-12 structure. We dive into that and more.* Corvallis has the resources and loyalty to rise again — if they get the hire right.I said it on the pod: sometimes the game moves faster than your rebuild. But when a team loses hope, change follows.The Human Cost We Don't SeeWhen a coach is fired, the headline reads “$50 million buyout.” But the story from this lens is about the 300 people whose lives change by Monday morning.* The $17K QC coach.* The $45K assistant with a newborn.* The family wondering about health insurance in February.* The 4th grader who has to walk into school knowing EVERYONE knows his Dad just got fired, and likely boo'd the previous weekend.So to every player on a team in transition: you'll remember this season forever. Compete. Connect. Choose uncommon effort over easy excuses.Teams That Define the Moment* Indiana: Stunned Oregon in Autzen with six sacks and a line-of-scrimmage win few saw coming. A top-3 résumé right now.* USC: Looked like a Big Ten team vs. Michigan — 224 rush yards, physicality, command. If they win at Notre Dame, Jayden Maiava's in the Heisman conversation.The West Coast Snapshot* Washington is quietly dominant again with Demond Williams Jr. Too quiet in my eyes.* Arizona has made big strides this season and were a snap away from a huge upset over BYU.* UCLA, under interim Tim Skipper, looks reborn.* And Stanford's new $50M donation just made their future way more interesting than their record. And their head coaching vacancy more attractive.Some Conversation Starters * The expanded playoff will test how fast schools act — and overreact.* Buyouts will shrink. They have to.* The West is rising again — maybe not in one conference, but through identity, talent, and physicality.It's the season's halfway point, but the sport's heartbeat is racing. And each Saturday, ours is too.As always, much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.Even when life unravels through betrayal, false accusation, and hardship, God's providence is at work — positioning Joseph (and us) exactly where He wants him. God is always with Joseph (and us), even in the darkest prison, and his integrity under temptation becomes the proving ground for future influence.Through Joseph's faithfulness in the small things, we learn that every trial prepared him (and us) for a greater purpose. God's hand is sovereign, His presence constant, and His plan always good.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on October 5, 2025, at 9:30am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.In Genesis 37, Joseph is betrayed by those who should have loved him the most. In this passage, we confront the pain of absent fathers, the poison of envy, and the cultural fractures that mirror our own families. Yet amid the injustice and loss, we discover a God who steps into our brokenness — a Father to the fatherless and the only firm foundation when everything else gives way.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 28, 2025, at 9:30am.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds in Pullman and Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund in Seattle - break down all the things they saw during Washington's historic 59-24 win in the Apple Cup Saturday night in Pullman. To start with, it was the hottest Apple Cup on record, with 81-degrees announced at kickoff. And the 59 points was the most Washington has ever scored in an Apple Cup, surpassing the 56 points they scored in 1991. It was also the first road win of the Jedd Fisch era on Montlake and the first road win for Washington since their 2023 win in Corvallis over Oregon State. Among the topics discussed during the 40-minute game recap: - Kim's take on the atmosphere compared to other Apple Cups at Martin Stadium, and also how beer sales impacted the crowd (if at all).- The adjustments Washington made over the course of the game to eventually push past the pesky Cougars in the fourth quarter- The offensive efficiency, starting with Demond Williams and the fact that they didn't have to punt for a second-straight game.- The defensive issues against WSU's passing game and especially the struggles that both Leroy Bryant and Deven Bryant had.- The momentum gained by the two big fourth-quarter turnovers, starting with Alex McLaughlin's pick-six and Dylan Robinson's punchout the very next play.- John Mills' monster pancake block to spring Jonah Coleman for an early touchdown.- The continued impressive performance by the offensive line, especially with how they were able to overcome and adjust to all the early games WSU's defensive line threw at them.- Final thoughts as the Huskies look ahead to hosting the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Servants & Stewards series, as we begin to look at the life of Joseph.Has life ever taken you a completely different direction than where you intended to go? At times like that, it's difficult to see what God is up to. But Joseph's story is a powerful reminder that God is at work even when we can't see the whole picture. And even in the messy details of life, God is speaking to us, if we are willing to listen.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 21, 2025, at 9:30am.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio previewing the Trojans late night showdown against Michigan State. The Spartans come into the Coliseum boasting a 3-0 record with quarterback Aidan Chiles playing at a high level and more importantly, not turning the ball over. USC is coming off its first real Big Ten road win at Purdue and will try to secure another conference win before the huge road showdown with No. 9 Illinois. The crew talks about the state of this USC football program heading into the game with an offense that has generated more yards per game than any other program, the most sacks in the country and some concerns in a secondary that has struggled at times and is dealing with multiple injuries. Looking at the Spartans, there are certainly some concerns despite the undefeated record. The defense has been leaking, giving up points to FCS Youngstown State last weekend, and there are multiple major injuries that head coach Jonathan Smith is dealing with. Lincoln Riley faced off with Smith back in 2022 when the Trojans survived an upset bid from Oregon State. Eventual Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams struggled until late, finally putting together a touchdown drive to give USC a 17-14 victory in Corvallis. Smith will try to recreate some of that magic to give the Spartans a shot Saturday night, coming in as a 17.5 point underdog to SC.

Dirt is back so it's time for the Dirty Poll...Dabo is yelling at the grass again, Why all the mixed messages in Corvallis...and a leftover mini male sack

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards - Vision & Mission series.In a moment when our culture is fractured, politics are polarized, and comfort tempts us to live as if we don't need God, we're called back to our true identity: servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Drawing from Paul's words to the Corinthians, we're reminded that following Jesus isn't about grasping for power or influence — it's about picking up the oar, going low, and living faithfully in that tension. Let's embrace lives that may look like "the scum of the world" to others, yet carry eternal weight as we boldly, humbly, and sacrificially share the hope of the gospel — whatever it takes.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 14, 2025, at 9:30am.

Luke Del Rio is the most interesting coach in college football.And today's conversation at Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor, 76® - keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, is one that will inspire, enlighten and may get you on the next flight to Paris.Every quarterback has a story. Few are as layered and compelling as Luke Del Rio's. I've known Luke since he was 16 years old and watching his path as a signal caller, friend and coach has been fascinating.Luke is currently on Jedd Fisch's staff at the University of Washington and his last year in football may one day be a part of a best-selling book. Luke grew up in NFL locker rooms, learning from his father, Jack, a long time NFL head coach. As a player, Luke would spin the ball in Tuscaloosa, Corvallis and complete his playing career as the starting quarterback at Florida.This past summer his journey took an unexpected turn, where he was the offensive coordinator for the Paris Musketeers in the European League of Football.We re-traced that journey on his final night in Paris before he and his family flew back to Seattle to begin the season with the Huskies.We talk about what it means to run your own room for the first time, how the seat feels different when you're the play-caller, and what it was like to share the sideline with his father. We dive into the tension and beauty of that father-son dynamic, the lessons learned from coaching in a foreign land, and the emotional goodbye that brought Luke to tears after their final game.Yet what resonated most was the humanity: the afterglow of nights in Paris spent with family, teammates, and friends–the reminder that football is the vessel, but the people are the payoff.Luke Del Rio is back in the States now, primed for what could be a special season at UW, but his story is proof of what Chris Petersen once told me: your path will never go as you envision it…and that's often the point.Off to State College and to those of you who have sent over notes about the piece on George Raveling, thank you.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen concludes our Ecclesiastes series and ministry year.In this message, we look back on a year of God's work in our church and then walk through the rise and fall of Solomon. How is it that the wisest man who ever lived lost everything because he failed to guard his heart?We'll see how God's repeated warnings, ancient commands, and deep desire for our undivided devotion apply directly to our lives today. Let's identify the subtle "other loves" that threaten to pull our hearts away, and make a clear, intentional plan to keep our hearts wholly His.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 31, 2025, at 10:15am.

But how does that translate out of our meditation and ritual practice into effective, right-aligned action? What is the “graceful revolution” and how can we all participate in it?

Associate Pastor Ron King concludes our Ecclesiastes series.It's been said that our modern age has been diagnosed with the word disenchanted; our focus on the material has often robbed us of what is sacred. But after all of the wisdom Solomon has imparted in this book, his final words are actually a call to be re-enchanted with a childlike wonder and awe of God.This call is summarized with two final commands: to remember your Creator, and to fear God and keep his commandments. These words are Solomon's remedy for cynicism and his secret for human wholeness.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 24, 2025, at 10:15am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Picture Solomon like a wise grandpa on a final drive, sharing his best advice before you step into life on your own. He reminds us that much in life is unknown — storms come, plans shift, and God's work is often hidden — but our call is to be generous, keep moving, and trust Him.And in the end, his parting words are simple and powerful: rejoice. Enjoy life as the sweet gift it is, thank God for every moment, and don't let anxiety steal the joy He intends for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 17, 2025, at 10:15am.

Corvallis Oregon was a sleepy small town in the early 1900's and all was normal until the day Edmund Creffield arrived. Thus began a seven year ordeal that was so bizarre that no one to this day can really explain what and how it all happened. When the dust all settled, no one was ever the same again. On this episode we take a deep look into Ed Creffield and the Holy Rollers. It's a cautionary tale to say the least!Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 10 feels like Solomon's unloading all the wisdom he forgot to mention. They're short, sharp one-liners about life, risk, relationships, and work.But even the best advice has limits. Life under the sun can still fall apart, no matter how wisely we live. That's why the real hope isn't in flawless wisdom, but in the good news that God's love meets both the wise and the fool right where we are.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 10, 2025, at 10:15am.

BY EARLY 1941, the U.S. Army knew it was about to get sucked into at least one of the wars that were already raging around the world. The Selective Service and Training Act had passed the previous fall, and already young American men were being drafted into the Army, swelling its ranks with green recruits. Sooner or not much later they'd be in combat, fighting for their lives. There was no time to be lost — those combat noobs had to be trained and hardened and prepared so that they would have as good a chance as possible when thrown into the fight. With that in mind, the Army started looking for suitable locations for a combat-training campus between Portland and San Francisco on the West Coast. It would need to be about 65,000 acres and, in addition to the usual building sites and gunnery ranges, it would have to include geography similar to the sites where the fighting was expected to happen: rolling hills, steep slopes, swampy terrain, thick forests, and something approximating jungle foliage. Moving very fast — after all, new conscripts were coming in all the time — the Army settled on two prospective sites: one near Eugene, and one just north of Corvallis. The Corvallis site won the toss — there were fewer residents to be displaced, and the railroad and highway infrastructure was more developed. That was in June 1941. By the end of that year, the funds were allocated and the plans drawn up, and nine months later Oregon's second largest city had spring into being out of the swampy ground.

Guest speaker Caleb Hunt continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever had a friend who cuts through the noise to say exactly what you need to hear — not just what you want to hear? Today, Ecclesiastes plays that role, challenging us to face the one thing we'd rather ignore: death itself.Death is the great equalizer, reminding us that everything under the sun — our careers, legacies, and even wisdom — has limits. Yet, instead of despair, Ecclesiastes helps us see how confronting death head-on points us to genuine hope and purpose, found only when we invest in what lasts beyond the sun: God, His Word, and each other.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 3, 2025, at 10:15am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 8 wrestles with why wicked people seem to thrive, how we're supposed to live under flawed authority, and what to do when life just doesn't make sense.But through it all, Solomon shows us something surprisingly hopeful: it will be well with those who fear God — not because we'll have the answers, but because we're trusting the One who does.It's an honest look at why submission — real, deep, often uncomfortable submission — isn't weakness, but the path to peace.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 27, 2025, at 8:30am.

Dabo and the Hoodie speak at ACC Media Days, why did Nico leave Tennessee for UCLA, do we believe him? Is Lincoln Riley a coward....and a true coaching treasure is back home in Corvallis.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.What if the letdowns in life are actually beautiful invitations? Ecclesiastes 7 flips our expectations upside down, showing that mourning shapes us more than laughter, and legacy matters more than luxury.We chase control, comfort, and clarity, but every human scheme eventually fails. And that's the gift. Because in surrendering our plans, we begin to trust the One who made us for more than life under the sun. This message is an honest, poetic, and deeply hopeful reminder that the best things for us may not be the easiest, but they're always eternal.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 20, 2025, at 10:15am.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever found yourself chasing "just a little bit more" yet always feeling empty? Today, we're diving into wisdom from Solomon, the wealthiest man in history, who still struggled profoundly with satisfaction. In Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, Solomon exposes the truth that money itself never satisfies, we can't take our earthly treasures with us, and failing to find joy in God's gifts isn't just sad — it's spiritually corrosive.But there's hope. God offers a different path where we express deep gratitude for what we have and invest our lives in what truly lasts. If you're ready to break free from the endless hamster wheel of dissatisfaction and step into a life of authentic contentment, God has something powerful for you today.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 13, 2025, at 10:15am.

Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues our Ecclesiastes series.How we walk into God's presence matters. Too often, we rush in, distracted, busy, or burdened, offering words without weight and worship without reverence. But Ecclesiastes 5 calls us back: Guard your steps. Let your words be few. Fear God.It's not about silence or perfection — it's about listening and posture. What if your Sunday started not with making noises but with awe? What if hearing from God became your deepest expectation?Today, we're learning to show up differently and approach God with hearts ready to listen, vows we intend to keep, and reverence that shapes our worship.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 7, 2025, at 10:15am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.We were made for friendship, but we're living through a friendship famine. In Ecclesiastes 4, Solomon reflects on a life filled with accomplishments but lacking deep connection. His words are hauntingly honest: without true friends, even success feels hollow.In this message, we'll explore why friendship is so hard today, why it matters more than ever, and how the church can be a healing place to form lasting relationships. Whether you're surrounded by people or feeling painfully alone, this conversation might change the way you pursue community.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 29, 2025, at 10:15am.
