Ducks were so close

Tie game with 2 seconds left, that close to finishing with a perfect season and a national championship. It was not to be as Auburn kicked a field goal to win it all. The Ducks left points on the field that were missed chances. Auburn in the end set up the winning points off of an unexpected, freak play. Runner pulled down then realizes he never touched a knee or arm ran another 37 yards.

All things happen for a reason. God's plans are bigger than a football game. Regardless of the outcome, the game experience was more memorable. sharing the game with 2 very excited Grandsons, from the pre-game to game food (dinner) to ringing green & yellow cowbells. Mix in the company of a wife & daughter & 2 little grand daughters, it was a wonderful time.

So I must say that I am a bit saddened with the loss but the memories of this night will last much longer than the details of the game itself. For that, I must say 'thank you' to the Oregon Football team and GO DUCKS.
