Oregon Ducks are 2012 Rose Bowl Champions
Los Angeles, California: It is with a very happy heart I type
the title of this column. The Ducks won the Rose Bowl. The Ducks won the
Rose Bowl. The Ducks won the Rose Bowl!
Our friends/relatives gathered in front of our hotel this morning. There was a
bit of transferring this and that (food and beer) between cars and then everyone
headed off to Pasadena.
This awesome truck was parked in front of the hotel this
morning (and no, before I get emails, the valet parked
the truck in a handicapped space for a few convenient
minutes).
Lenny invited his brother-in-law, Tyson, to join us at
the Rose Bowl today.

Hmmm... notice anyone missing? Me? Woody? Kathy? We were
not at the game. Why? We were banned. Banished outside
the city limits of Pasadena. Every time Woody, Kathy and
I attend a Duck bowl game, the Ducks lose. So we were
kindly requested to be elsewhere this afternoon. Kathy &
Woody stayed in Oregon. I was forced to remain in Los
Angeles with this guy:
What I won't sacrifice so My Ducks can finally win a
bowl game.
And, dang, if their evil plan didn't work. The Ducks
beat Wisconsin in a very good (and very close) game,
45-38.

I remember all too well - two years ago - when all this
confetti was red after Ohio State beat us in the Rose
Bowl.

Everyone was in on the victory! Two of DT's college
roommates had gathered together in Honolulu with their
families to watch the game and sent this photo. I love
this shot! GO DUCKS!
My brother and his family were watching the game in
Denver. They sent a photo of our niece, Delaney, ready
for the game. (My Mom knit that cap!)
Our niece, Carla, sent a photo of her Mom (my sister,
Renee) in the Rose Bowl mood in Portland, Oregon.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... Lisa and I watched the
game, friends stopped by, chicken wings were consumed
and Lisa worked on craft
projects while I played and carried Baby Leo around
until my left arm is probably going to fall off later
tonight and I don't think I will care.
My arm is that sore.
But Leo is worth any aches and pains. (Plus he pinched
me three times and bit down on my finger so hard I
actually cried out, Chaaaalie, that hurts!)
By the way - today Leo is officially 5 months old!
Four second baby squeal:
Okay. I promise this is the last photo of Leo I will
post today.
After the game, Dave and Lenny returned to us and Lisa
made pizza for our dinner. DT had lost his voice, but DT
was SO HAPPY.
They were exhausted. What a wonderful day for Duck fans
everywhere!
Did I mention the Oregon Ducks won the Rose Bowl?
