Out of respect for my very good friend the late Bob Jeremiah, of the famous Beaver "Giant Killer" football team, I had to root for the Beavers in their attempt to go to the Rose Bowl this season.
Now I switch back to the school that gave issued me the document saying I went there, Duck-U.
Edited to add: RL, Thanks!
One thing I learned a long time ago is you gotta be tough to be a Duck fan.

Goggles,
Just a standard description of the school. Re-reading that in the light of morning, it was NOT directed at you. I should have written, "...document saying I went to Duck-U..."
That's pretty good when I can screw up a post in the Arena.
oh yeah, Ducks won but it was a hard fight and Oklahoma State's QB took some hits that would have put most out of the game but he drove on.
Oklahoma State is one to keep your eyes on, Great game guys!

Glad your season ended on a high note, Bill. I wish I could say that as a Longhorn...
