Oregon, Nike and Joe Paterno: What a mess!
Let me make it perfectly clear right from the start, I hate Penn State. I've never liked them, never thought Joe Paterno was the great coach he allegedly was, I thought he was way past his time and a relic and "Happy Valley" is no where I wanted to go.
I am a University of Oregon Duck football fan and always will be.
We've had our troubles, yes, many of them lately but I hang in there, chastising when they are wrong but love my Ducks!
I am very happy that "Uncle" Phil Knight has decided to change the name of the "Joe Paterno Child Development Center" to something else (unnamed as of this writing) BUT, I am very unhappy it took him this long. I asked that Nike make this change immediately after the first stories broke of the possible sex abuse in "Happy Valley". No one agreed with me. I feel somewhat vindicated. I just wish "Uncle" Phil had moved a little swifter.

DUCKS WIN!! HOLIDAY BOWL HIGHLIGHTS!
Yahoo! Ducks Win!
We were there, so here are some pictures from the game. Did an awesome broadcast from the parking lot as well.
Sorry to tell all of you up north but it is 72 and sunny in San Diego! I can't believe how much I missed the sun and warm weather.
I am just about ready to look at houses down here!
