Dear Spike:
I've said it before, I'll say it again: If you're going to root for The Beavers, you're going to have to get used to disappointment.
One win away from earning its first Rose Bowl appearance since the Vietnam War, OSU couldn't get the best of the team in the ugly green and yellow uniforms from Eugene. That team (the name of which shall not be spoken in our family) racked up a huge win...
... against Oregon State's injured quarterback and Oregon State's second-string running back.
Oooh. Impressive.
And this, my darling little daughter, leads us to today's lesson in how to live with disappointment: You can't win all the time, but you can almost always find some way to undercut the significance of the other team's victory.
That won't make you happy, but it'll annoy the enemy. And on days like today, that's at least something.
Love,
dad

HA! The enemy refuses to be annoyed! Even when your people claim Phil Knight bought the refs. Oh no. We will not be annoyed. Just boastful and gleeful.
In all honesty, it would have been nice to see AN Oregon team at the Rose Bowl.
But it is not as of THE OREGON DUCKS didn't have their fair share of injuries this year.
And for the record... THE OREGON DUCKS wore green and white yesterday!!! Much more asthetically pleasing than ORANGE. Ick!

I was VERY disappointed the webbed footed players won rather than the sleek, beautiful big toothed animals. *sigh*
I understand that you are sad about your team, but did you have to take it out on that poor beaver doll?
Hope he, and you, recover soon.
