We snuck transistor radios into Middle School to listen to the games played during the week. The entire school erupted when Mazeroski hit the famous, Series-clinching walk-off home run.
The principal would sometimes announce the score over the loudspeakers that were in each classroom.
On that day I ran the rest of the way home and told the first person I saw there, who was a guy painting the outside of our house. 😀

He danced around the bases after his bottom-of-the-ninth, solo home run to beat the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series
I remember walking home from school and hearing, as I went past stores that had the radio on and doors open, that he hit that home run. Imagine, a middle-of-the-week afternoon World Series game.

Well, I'm rooting for the Patriots (I grew up in CT), and so far the only highlights for me have been a couple defensive plays by Christian Gonzalez.

I always thought the issue was that 3 times Oregon had the opportunity to kick a short field goal, but CK instead went for the touchdown each time--and each time we didn't make it. If we'd gone for and made 1, 2, or 3 of those FGs, the game's outcome might have been in the Ducks favor.

My home town in CT has anywhere from 11"-17" of snow, depending on how close/far from the water (LI Sound).

Seems like they broke the piggy bank on the 2026 season.
Maybe that is the 'new formula'? Put all your eggs in one basket and shoot for the top.
How far do you think that is going to take them? I hate to say it, but with that kind of talent, they could go all the way.
With that many new players all at once, I wonder how well they will play together in a system that is new to them.

Just like most things college football the west coast is pretty isolated from the rest of college football world. The only major bowl game on the west coast has been the Rose Bowl.
Oregon fans in Oregon had to travel to the Georgia which was going to be a far more expensive plane ticket than anything in Indiana and then there is hotel fair and all the other things that go into it. Additionally... the game was on a Friday night which means taking off more work for travel.
Indiana was a shorter flight but also fans could conceivably DRIVE there.
Also, Indiana has 805,000 alums, Oregon about 205,000.

Yeah, the whole stars thing. Those are based on what the players did in high school, right? And it's a giant leap from high school to college, just as it's a giant leap from college to the pros.

I've pretty much decided to skip over mourning and jump ahead to looking forward to reading about spring practices, the spring game, and enjoying next season.

Rich Brooks on Twitter/X:
"That was a tough way to end a great season. Injuries and portal issues along with coaches moving on. Coach Lanning had a great year and will continue to build championship football for Oregon."

Missing some top players did not help tonight.
When Lanning came, he said you have to water the bamboo for 5 years before it shoots up rapidly.
I love my Ducks.

Yes, the Pop Tarts are fun. And not gross like the bowl game where they dump mayonnaisse on the coach--yuck!

I don't have Netflix or Prime, so no football games for me. I did watch A Christmas Story. I've enjoyed that movie ever since the first time we saw it when it came out in the theaters. Listened to Jean Shepard on the radio when I was growing up in Connecticut.

The Frozen 4
in Our Beloved Ducks
That would be great! Maybe I'd get to see the hockey team of my alma mater, Quinnipiac University, play the Ducks here! (Quinnipiac won the men's ice hockey championship in 2023.)
