National Champs!
I know none of you watched this, but the Oregon State Beavers have just won the College World Series "back home in Omaha." This accomplishment for the Beavers will be truly monumental as it is their first national championship since womens cross country in 1961!The winning pitcher was Newberg's own Dallas Buck (below right) , who led NHS to the 
state title in 2003, and this year was drafted in the 3rd round of the draft to the Arizona Diamondbacks.Other Newberg connections include Derek Englekee and Pat Casey, who left GFU to coach at OSU.The beaver's pitching staff was dominant, led through gutsy performances by Jonah Nickerson (pitching on 2 days rest), and Kevin Gunderson, and even though he worked 5 innings just the day before, he finished up the game, recording the save, which gave him the most saves in the nation with 20. "We're going to live it up," Gunderson said, "until we can't live it up no more."

yeah jay, thats how i roll
Well Jay, I may not have watched it, but I had my people keeping me up to date right to the end, or rather all my sister's friends were hooting and screaming about it and right before I shut the door to get some peace and quiet I asked what it was that had brought this reaction, and they told me, two minutes later Riley Sump called up to tell Andrew because I guess Andrew's a Beavers fan or something. Anyway it's pretty sweet.
hahahahahhhehehehehehhahahahhahahah
It was pretty sweet. Though not in possession of cable, I did listen to some of the final game (and games before that) on the radio before I had to leave for Bible study.
My boss and one of the girls at the office went completely nuts (Both are OSU alumni).
I also heard that the rally in Portland was huge.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that someone appreciates this accomplishment...
Jay, workin' on more FitzRoy lyrics? I wrote a neat little blues solo for the song.
