As we know, the mighty Oregon State Beavers are invincible whenever they play within proximity of an In-N-Out Burger. Mike Riley famously treated his players to classic In-N-MegaStackers (or whatever their burgers are called; I’m from Five Guys country) after knocking off UCLA in Los Angeles, then did the same in Tucson after outlasting Arizona.
Burgers and #BeaverJuice: How far can Oregon State’s In-N-Out tradition take them?
If In-N-Out burgers really are the secret power behind Oregon State’s hot start, the rest of the schedule lines up quite nicely for the Beavers.
But how long can the burger-powered Beavers last?
The Wall Street Journal has charted the distance from each Pac-12 stadium to the nearest In-N-Out, finding Washington State and Washington to be the climates harshest to OSU. The good news for Riley’s carnivores: they get WSU at home, where they’re 1-0 and apparently not in need of beef.
But that trip to play the Huskies still puts them nearly 600 miles from the nearest In-N-Out in Redding, California. Other than that, OSU’s within range for both of their remaining road games:
- BYU, Oct. 13: 4.6 miles
- Stanford, Nov. 10: 5.3 miles
- Washington, Nov. 27: 597 miles
Smart out-of-conference scheduling, as Utah is rich with In-N-Outs. And if OSU makes the Pac-12 title game, it’ll play a team no farther than 11.3 miles from the power source (Colorado is definitely not going to the Pac-12 title game, further strengthening the theory behind all this).
It’s probably for the best of college football that there’s not a location anywhere near Corvallis, as the Beavers would be pretty much unstoppable at that point.
