Once In A Lifetime

Right now, the BCS Championship Bowl Game begins. (1) I will be rooting for the Oregon Ducks. Just like I had no taste for the USC Trojans in the past, it was the same with University of Oregon sports teams. The image shown to the left is from the Eugene Register Guard newspaper Website. The photograph is on the home page banner, so won't be there after the game - I want to preserve it along with other links to the festivities leading up to the game. I hope the Ducks trounce Auburn. (2) A few years ago, I wouldn't have imagined going for the Ducks, but for sure this time. Anything like this is good for the Oregon - the state. Not since the glory days of Ralph Miller and the Oregon State Basketball team, or the repeat OSU baseball team in the College World Series. Go Ducks! It's Once in a Lifetime tonight, Go Ducks!

(1) I just turned on the flat screen Toshiba in our family room, checked the on-screen television guide, and as it turns out, the pre-game on ESPN is on now - the game starts at 8:30 PM Eastern time.

(2) There is nothing like having Phil Knight's Nike as a major sponsor of University of Oregon sports - they get the latest innovations and designs in uniforms. Knight was a track athlete at U of O under Bill Bowerman, another legend like Ralph Miller.
