Saturday was as close to a perfect day in Beaverland as one could ask for. About the only thing that might have made it better was to win (my team not the Beavers)
You see Saturday I played, along with my brother and two great beaver friends of mine in the 24th Annual Paul Valenti Varisty O Golf Scrimmage at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis.
The course was in great shape and the weather was near perfect for a round of golf in August. We did not win but we had a great time of fellowship with other Beaver Believers. I did manage to capture the long drive award on 16, a good consolation prize for it would have been fun even without that.
After that my brother and I went over to watch the Football Scrimmage for a couple hours. There was a pretty good crowd at the scrimmage that was into the game and the players responded with some pretty exciting plays. The defense looked pretty solid and I am not as worried about it as I was before the game. The offense, even without the Rogers brothers playing look like with time they will gel into a good group. I am more excited for the start of football now.
After the game we attended the 50 yard line reception and dinner in the club level of Reser. We had the honor of having Keanon Kristick and Ryan Gunderson sitting at our table. Both were very well spoken and represented the football program well. The evening was MC'd by Mike Parker and coaching staff and several players spoke at the nearly 5 hour event.
What a great day to be a beaver! A photo is on the website.
GO BEAVERS!
