The Oregon State vs. Oregon “Toilet Bowl” remembered in context

Day 792 of 1000

I love everything about this article on the aptly named “Toilet Bowl” between Oregon State and the team never to be named in this blog.  That game was compared to the Obama/Democrat government shutdown.  Most of the Republicans, especially in the senate did not act with distinction either.  I am not sure if I was at the particular game described in the article, but I could have been and have lots of friends who absolutely were there.  In a state full of some of the best athletes in the world–mostly in track and field–it has not been a place where the football players have excelled even though they have gotten better over the last decade or so.  Note that I do not count that team in the town next to Springfield as an Oregon team.

    I was at that game. Only thing worse than the game was the weather. Cold and rained hard. I was one of the stupid fans that stayed for the entire time. I cannot call it a football game.
