New SOU students are on campus, with returning students arriving over the next couple days. The Raider Family Barbecue happens at the stadium at 12:15 today. Unfortunately, all of the athletic teams are on the road this weekend.

We took a little trip this time of year last year, and that is where today’s photo comes from. This pic was taken near Toketee Falls.

Today’s photo is from more than seven years ago. Anyone know the name of these falls?

New coaches’ poll came out today. SOU remained at #3. Montana Tech dropped just one spot to #24, Rocky Mountain dropped to #23, and Montana Western (who the Raiders don’t play until their final game) jumped to #22.

Some awesome parents of current student-athletes are spearheading a new endowment for the football program. Donations will not be paid out; rather, the endowment will grow and only the income from the endowment will be used for future expenses and growth of the SOU football program. You can donate here.

Southern Oregon University teams combined for a 7-0 record this weekend. But wait, there’s more. School hasn’t even started yet, and the Raiders are a combined, drum roll please, 14-0 in conference games. Wowza!

Quaderius Clemmons averaged over 12 yards a carry in Saturday’s win

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football

Details about yesterday’s win can be found here. Massey gives SOU a 90% chance of winning on Saturday in Helena, Montana. Carroll College (ranked #17 by Massey) is a 19-point underdog.
