      3 Comments on Ralphie!

As you may have gathered from some of my tweets, I went to today’s Colorado-Iowa State game, with Kristy. It was fun! And Colorado won! (!!) Final score was 34-14.

…well, you know what happened. Even if the NCAA record books say it didn’t. True confessions of an Irish Trojan: whenever I watch that video, as glad as I am that USC won, I always really feel for #90 at the end, Brian Beidatsch. Such heartbreak.

1. Oregon 6-0 (3-0 Pac-10) LW: 1 The Ducks came away with a win over Wazzu last weekend, but it wasn’t the blowout everyone was expecting. Pac-10 parity.
