Over this weekend the Beavers got spanked (albeit by the #22 team in the nation on the road) while the Vikings beat #12 McNeese State at home. I went to that game and it was a blast... the crowd was into it and we handed the Cowboys a big defeat.

Our soccer team lost 0-6... not anything new.

Today I closed my account at PTCU and opened one at Umpqua Bank. That place is absolutly absurb. It doesn't look like a bank, but rather a very modern shag pad or something. Very cool. They have free cookies, free coffee, big chairs to just relax in with a big screen TV. And with every transaction you get a big yummy chocolate. Glad I switched... anywho, should be getting a debit card soon and I applied for their Visa.

Nothing real exciting to report. Just school and work, school and work. Started soccer on Tuesday and proceeded to pull my calf muscle... been sore the last few days but it should be ready in time for Saturday. We have our first soccer game Saturday, so that will be interesting. I think our team is better overall this year, but since the coach wants to put me as goalie, things aren't looking too bright. Anywho, that will be interesting.

Tualatin is playing a football game right now but it was uber boring. It was 47-0 at halftime and god knows what now. We're playing Woodburn, the Idaho of high school football. The 8th string or something went in and it turned into a defensive battle so I left. Wanted to watch Boise State vs. BYU instead. Turns out that this game is boring as well... so I came upstairs.

Oh yeah, our football team is now 4-0, so that is good news.

Tomorrow Oregon State plays at Arizona State and are most likely going to be slaughtered. I hope they will keep it close, but I have no faith in either the defense (53 points against Boise State) or the offense (17 points against New Mexico). Both have shown they can be good but lack consistency. We need a defensive effort like against New Mexico tomorrow night to stay close.

Portland State also plays tomorrow against #12 McNeese State. I will be attending that game at PGE Park, meaning I will miss the Oregon State vs. Arizona State game. I'll be taping it at home and listening to it on the radio.

Uhhh, that's all. As you can see, my life revolves around sports for the most part. Yay.

Went to the Oregon State home opener yesterday. It was fun, but very wet. The forecast called for light showers... it was more of a monsoon. Let's just say it looked like I jumped into a swimming pool I was so wet. Most the rest of the stadium was smart and had ponchos; oh well, I lived.

The Beavers dominated the Lobos, although the score doesn't really reflect it. The Lobos only points where when Derek Anderson fumbled and they returned it 70 yards to the house. It was fun to be there, it got really loud a few times but nothing like it can get during the Civil War or when the #1 USC Trojans roll into here later on this season.

Serna, the kicker who missed all those PATs, made a field goal to put the game away after the other kicker missed two of them earlier. That probably got the biggest cheer of the afternoon, so good for him. I have restored faith. I'll probably have a bigger report after a more interesting game the Saturday after next.

Been busy this week with school and work. Getting back into the swing of things... kinda sucks, kinda is nice. I don't enjoy the homework, but it's good to see everyone again and all that shit. Tualatin plays their first home game tomorrow night being 2-0 at this point with very impressive victories. Should be fun.

This weekend has been mehy. Started out kinda crappy with the Beavers getting 0wned by a very good Boise State team. All was made up for though as the Ducks lost to Indiana at home, a terrible team who had no business winning. Duck fans are reeling and can't give the Beavers crap for their 0-2 start. I can't wait until the New Mexico game next weekend, I'll be in the stands cheering the Beavers first win hopefully. Also I've had a lot of homework this weekend, only the first of the school year. Dammit.
