Kickoff for the 2008 season is tomorrow evening. This is the start of a new era for us as we will no longer be hosting a tailgate at Autzen. Dang, I don't have to spend 2-3 hours getting the equipment ready, shopping, and lining up hours before the game........Retirement is good.
Frankly I am going to miss it. We have enjoyed the friendships with all the fellow Duck fans that have developed since 1990. I haven't missed a game since the 1994 season. Our daughter was raised on Duck Football. We have had many notable moments and have witnessed the joy of winning most of the time and have endured the agony of defeat on occasion.Many thanks to all of those who have come, supplied food and drink, and helped in the past. I specifically want to thank John and Chris for their setup support, Jeannie for her outstanding work as the tailgate mom, Jim and Kelly, and Tom for their donation of parking pass. These folks truly made it happen. Lastly I want to thank, the wife, Daph for supporting my eccentric behavior.
My final salute goes to Heidi and Ryan as they take over the responsiblity of tailgating. I am looking forward to supporting them and participating in the new era of Duck football. See ya all there!!!!
GO DUCKS! BEAT THE dawgs (spit)!!!!!!!!!
