OSU is not going to a bowl this year. No way.
If they can't beat UCLA, I don't think they'll win too many others. While they may improve as the season progresses now that they got some players back, it's going to be a long season again. I'm not sure if OSU can afford to fire Riley since they're already running a bit of a deficit.

They aren't going to fire Mike "Good Guy" Riley. Who in the world do they think they could get that would be better? People aren't exactly tripping overthemselves to coach for Beaver Nation. Not only do they have a huge buyout, they also have a complete lack of candidates. This is not a good formula for success in firing your coach.

That's the thing I'd think would allow them to do it, but I'd expect them to use the money to upgrade its facilities and pay off past debts. Getting a new FB coach may not exactly be a priority for them but if they have another bowlless season, fans are going to be clamoring for one.

Looking at their schedule, and based on the way they've played so far, they MIGHT, MIGHT win one game this year. Couldn't happen to a more deserving fan base.

Looks like this season could get nowhere for the Beavs, like a fuse-less bombing run...
Riley is sitting on a powder keg.
Not.

Will they really be that worried if their 4 season ticket holders are mad?

When your 4 season ticket holders would rather watch the game from their tailgater, in the parking lot, on the jumbotron, rather than enter the confines of Greased Burrito Stadium, one has to wonder how compelling the atmosphere inside, let alone the product on the field, actually is.,,

No, but the gay sheep are mad and that has Dee worried.
