From the Chicken Suit to Duck Baseball

I know, I'm getting predictable.

Its going to be a busy week for me.
Roseburg North Medford tonight.
Roseburg at South Medford Thursday night.
Duck baseball scrimmage Friday afternoon.
News all in between.

The U of O is going to test PK Park around Friday afternoon's scrimmage.
The Ducks play the Ducks at 2.
We (meaning the U of O) are going to take the opportunity to plug in all the broadcast gear and hook it up to the network. No one except for some radio station managers will hear what I do, but for your edification, here is the plan.
I'll say hello to whomever is testing their reception on the network and give them an inning or two of play-by-play. I can't wait because it'll be the first time someone is sitting in 'the seat' where the games will be broadcast and that someone is me!

I actually had an incredibly vivid image strike me one time at a Duck football game.
I was looking over the edge of Autzen during the National Anthem at the cut out in the parking lot where PK Park was being built and this picture flashed in my mind. I could see both teams lined up on the chalk lines, the American flag snapping in the breeze in centerfield and the National Anthem being played. I was standing in the broadcast booth in the ballpark with headphones on.
The scene honestly brought me to tears because I knew someone was bound to have that opportunity. I desperately hoped it would be me.

Ahem.

Anyway, can't wait for the games to start and I am looking forward to the first trip. The bus loads Thursday morning for the trip to St Mary's in Moraga, California.
I've been there before. Once with the U of Montana Lady Griz basketball team. The campus sits in a beautiful valley and is probably second to Pepperdine when it comes to Most Picturesque University Campus You'll Ever See.
