A crowd of well over a thousand, plus more media than shows up for most actual games, even some football games, gathered in Parker Plaza between Reser Stadium and Gill Coliseum Tuesday afternoon, and most of them, those that didn't have to actually attend to something else, actually stuck around for a couple of hours, until they finally got to greet the Oregon State women's basketball team, and see their Dallas Regional trophy/Jamie Weisner nap buddy *, the first ever regional hardware the Beaver women have ever earned, for themselves.
* It's true, Weisner slept with the trophy Monday night.
