Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Never been a better time to be a Beaver!

Its time for a little Beaver Pride!

I spent most of the day yesterday with head hung in shame. My entire office expected the inevitable...No. 1 ranked USC was going to cream my OSU Beavers. And the evidence of the previous games the Beavs had played this year wasn't stacking up for a good argument otherwise.

Let that teach me to be a hater! They D-O-M-I-N-A-T-E-D last night. I watched it and I loved every minute of it. We went over to Keith's house for beers and pizza and to watch the game and The Office. We were not disappointed either. Even the pizza delivery guy stuck his head inside "What's the score, man?"

The last time we knocked off a No. 1 rated team was USC (and O.J. Simpson) in 1967. I also didn't know until I read Fox Sports (yes, I do that on special occasions) that USC has lost three of its last four games in Corvallis.

I also admit that the "Orange Out" was pretty impressive on National Television and I'm going to have to think twice about my "no orange" rule.

And its not like football is the only thing OSU has going for it. The University is at the forefront of all the most impressive technology from Forestry to Chemicals to Computers.

It sure is a great time to be a Beaver. Sorry Dad- I know you're a Duck Fan, but there is no denying this.

Side note: When combined with a "Jim/Pam" proposal on The Office, it proved to be probably one of the best Thursday night ever- second only to the Rehearsal Dinner (with wine pong).
