Because when Dixon went down so did all hopes of a "Championship" caliber Oregon Football team! I too felt like crying with Dixon, I though he handled himself very respectably however. If you did not know prior to the Oregon vs. Arizona game just how important Dennis was, you do now! It was like the Ryan NFL show all over again. I could not tell which Leaf was playing. And to have Ryan commentating on the play of his brother made it that much worse!<BR/><BR/>Womens basketball is not all that exciting to begin with. And although the basketball team lost as well, at least it does not make you feel like you have just been kicked in the balls - repeatedly! My wife woke this morning and still felt as if her world was in a tail spin. It is amazing how much impact one football game can have on your life. I guess that is why we love sports.<BR/><BR/>As far as living here for 25+ years, just what kind of award are you suggesting? I have to say it has been a liberating experience as I have been here for about 25 years. So as long as you don't mind in their younger years explaining to your children what's on that mans cardboard sign that is standing on the corner, or once they hit middle school finding an empty bag of weed on their bedroom floor as they rock out with their buddies to a little Pink Floyd, then in their HS years you can pretty much count on them partaking in some of the other cultural activities this city has to offer, because if you tell them -no- they will find a way regardless. So if you can handle all of the Eugene is a great place!<BR/><BR/>Go Ducks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
