Calling all Oregonians to action

Whether you’re a Duck, Beaver, Viking, Pilot, or fan of another Oregon college, or just a supporter of access to higher education in Oregon, go to ESPN’s Game Changing Play right now, and click on “Oregon State” in the lower line of options, to vote for Oregon State’s denial of USC’s 2-point conversion as the most significant single play in the 2006 college football season. Why? Well, because it was, changing USC’s chance of making the National Title Game from a certainty to a forlorn hope (and then to hopeless after they lost to UCLA). And because the team with the most votes in the poll gets $100,000 in general scholarship funds from Pontiac. What’s not to like about an Oregon college getting a big chunk of money from a source outside our state, in return for a couple of clicks of the mouse on your part?

The PAC-10 is 0-3 in bowl games, and that’s just embarrassing. So Let’s Go, Beavers, rest up and win tomorrow!
