National champions: Oregon State Beavers shut out Arkansas to win College World Series title, 


I've  been a Oregon  (Ducks) fan since going  there  undergrad, and  playing basketball  for  a  year. Oregon  State for decades  were our main  rivals. In  recent years the  successful football  team has regressed  to  the mean (mediocrity). 

My goddaughter, Helen, was clearly destined for the academic  world  since  she was a  toddler.  She  could probably gone  to  any  undergrad she  wanted. Where  did  she pick?  OSU.  As an  aside,  she's  currently  finishing up her PhD at  Cal,  having  turned down a full ride  at  MIT. 

Anyway, I sent  her  a  message  this  morning  congratulating  OSU.  Man,  that  hurt.

    We had a good guy, tennis club member here in Cambria who was a proud Ducks fan, also an Oregon grad.

    I feel your pain. Kind of like an ASU fan congratulating an Arizona Wildcat.

    Your goddaughter is certainly a high achiever.
    Hope all is well with you my friend!
