.....Emerald Green and Lemon Yellow.....

Heartbreaking to think about it being burned up,.. driving from Portland, up the Columbia river gorge, viewing spectacular Multnomah Falls, stopping at the Vista houses and way stations, then to Mt Hood and Timberline Lodge for dinner,.. it's just what Oregonians have always done.

 

Hero's prevented Multnomah falls from being burned, it was close though, a trail bridge leading to the top was destroyed. Multnomah lodge was also saved, barely, the fire came within 30 yards of the historic structure. The scenic old highway was hit hard and that's a shame, but it could've been worse.

Despite Eagle Creek fire, gorge 'still going to be a beautiful place'

The air quality index in Eugene on Tuesday was above 200, very high, hazardous, was some talk about rescheduling our game,.. good news things changed, a marine air layer has moved in, pushing the smoke out and even bringing a little rain,.. that's also helped the Columbia River Gorge situation,.. the air index in Autzen at game time is expected to be about 50, not bad.

Oregon vs Nebraska, 1:30 PT kickoff on FOX,.. the Ducks will be wearing their snazzy, "Stomp out cancer", unis,.. Oregon wearing white at home, what a novel idea.

thanks man,.. I predict,..

Oregon 47, Nebraska 24
LSU 41,.. Chattanooooga... 0

I'm still kinda mad at the 49ers,.. Go Tenn Titans

 

That's the $64k question,.. we've gone back to the 3-4,.. last week our D looked better, was flying around, hitting hard,.. albeit against an over-matched opponent,.. tomorrow's game against the Huskers will shine a truer light on it.
