Oregon State coach Cory Hall welcomes new baby to start Civil War week: Press conference highlights

CORVALLIS -- Cory Hall entered the Valley Football Center on Monday afternoon on two hours of sleep, less than usual even during a rivalry week typically dominated by extensive game planning and recruiting.

The Oregon State interim football coach spent the morning watching film in the waiting room of Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center and handed off the duty of running the weekly players' meeting to team chief of staff Zach Nyborg.

At 8:05 a.m., Hall's wife, Sarah, gave birth to Isaiah-Bernard Hall. The newborn boy, named after his late grandfather and her late father, measured 22 inches and weighed eight pounds and four ounces.
