Haystack Rock Hoopla

By Dillard on June 25th, 2007

As I sit in my suite at the Surf-something or other hotel, I watch the Beaver game. At first scoring a few runs in the first few innings and finally winning with a score of 9-3. GO BEAVERS! The Beaver baseball team won a second College World Series. OSU is only the fifth team in Rosenblatt history that has won consequtive titles. Go team. The Beavers have proven themselves, again.

Sean, Peter and Casey must have hit the road as soon as the team won, because I have yet to hear or see any posts from them. Stories and photos from the game will be posted shorty. I apologize to readers for the delay.

Underway

By Dillard on June 14th, 2007

The boys are underway. A phone call at 11:45 a.m. wrestled me from a deep sleep and it was Sean. He was asking for the password to play a DVD on the nifty laptop that our advisor loaned them to take to Omaha. Right on, doggy.

 I didn’t have the password. Sean, Peter and Casey will spend 24 hours and roughly 1600 miles without a DVD player. It’s like we are living in the world of ‘oh-my-gosh-I-can’t-live-without-technology.’ Hmmm, maybe we are.

 P.S. Mark, you should find us that password.

Now at 3 p.m., the guys have been on the road for four hours. Only 20 to go! Maybe they can pass the time by cow-counting through Idaho, Wyoming AND Nebraska.

Well, my hat is off to the Beaver baseball team. They made it to Omaha again. We are sending people again. Lets hope we can bring home another national title.

It’s decided

By Dillard on June 12th, 2007

We are sending three lovely gentlemen to OMAHA, NEB. The site of the Men’s College World Series. The location that the Beaver’s will hit for the third year in a row to defend their championship title - earned in 2006. Check it, how do you like them apples, Michigan? How’d you like that double steal in the fourth? (was it) inning. I personally loved it. Anyway, readers will be hearing from Sean McLean, Casey Grogan and Peter Strong who will hit the road Thursday on their way to Omaha.

I may be blogging for them, since they will be spending countless hours in the car…. boo.
