No problem, Don!   :cheers:

What a great kid.  He really deserved it.  What a great day for Hawaii and Oregon.  (I find it hard to believe that nearly 5% of the voters didn't have him on their ballots listing 3 candidates.)  

According to the reports, some of the audience, and even an ESPN cameraman, were crying by the end of his speech.

Ok!  Only two more awards left to collect!   :evil:   (this season  :mrgreen:)

Ducks are only up by 39 with 10 minutes left... I think Florida States plan to wear out the  Duck offense by keeping them on the field is not working
 You must be celebrating by now... Go Ducks  :cheers:

I've often wondered how a Nez Perce bred horse got from the Northwest to Florida.

I will be cheering on the Buckeyes in the Sugar Bowl, but I fully expect the Ducks to crush Florida State, and Mike and I will be celebrating a Ducks Championship on the 12th.
