College Football Rules! Oregon Ducks No. 14 in U.S.

107671365

College football is my favorite sport because everyone is so passionate about their team.  My team is the Oregon Ducks, who are currently ranked No. 14 in the nation according to Sports Illustrated.

As any Pac-10 college football fan can tell you, it's a tough league where anything can happen and before the season is over it usually does.  But so far, so good.  The Oregon Ducks' 44-10 victory earned their fifth consecutive win against the rival Washington Huskies on Saturday.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Concert

aaa tom petty
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rocked the Gorge in George, WA on Saturday night with one of the best performances I've seen from them in years.  Petty opened with You Wreck Me and a set list that featured favorites including I Won't Back Down, Even the Losers, Free Fallin', Mary Jane, Breakdown, Rebels, Face in the Crowd, Learning to Fly, Don't Come Around Here No More and Refugee.  The encore featured Runnin' Down a Dream, Gloria and American Girl.
 
We managed to score seats in the 14th row which were awesome.  Check out pictures from the concert here.

My Favorite Olympic Moment and a French Lesson!

olympics_g_mens_relay_in_600
American Heroes:  Cullen Jones, Jason Lezak, Michael Phelps and Garrett Weber-Gale broke the world record (3:08:24) with their relentless passion for excellence and an Olympic Gold medal victory in the 4x100 free relay in Beijing.   Their actions forever drowned out the narcissistic smack talk of Frenchman Alain Bernard who said the French would "smash" the American's in the event.  It was sweet irony that Bernard, the 100m world record holder who anchored the French team, would be beat by Jason Lezak's super human come-from-behind performance - 46:06 - the fastest 100-meter relay split in world history, beating Bernard's by 0.67 seconds, enabling the USA to win by 8/100ths of a second. Smashing!!

Steely Dan performs to night and Thursday near Seattle at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery on the green.  The set list below from the July 26, 2008 concert at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA should give us a good idea of what to expect.  Shay Quillin's review in San Jose Mercury News provides some color.  It will be interesting to see if the set list changes much tonight.
