OT: Who Wins......Ducks or Boise State?

Yeah, it's not as bad as it used to be -- I actually lived in Lebanon for a year when it was in its full glory and hoodaddy was it memorable. I think it was called the craft plant, don't know if it still is called that.

 

It's the International Paper Mill.

When did you live in Lebanon? I live there now...

 

It's generally around that time, yes.

The smell is the worst when it is foggy and dewy in the fall and spring. You can smell it down by South real easily.

 

Lol. Dating myself here. I think it was 1974 -- I was in first grade then.

 

Hey, I got you by two years, lol. What school did you go to?

 

Why did the beaver dam fail?

Because the quack was too large to overcome.

 

Sure sign that I'm getting old: I don't remember for sure. Was it called Santiam? It was an elementary school on the north side of town within spittin' distance of Dairy Queen and the middle school.

My most vivid memory was skipping to the back of the math book because I figured that's where the good stuff would be (even then I was a huge geek) and reading the chapter about money. Starting a life in crime early and using what I'd learned, I told kids that nickels were bigger than dimes and started trading my nickels for their dimes. The perfect kinder-racket until I got busted.

 

Heheheh! Yeah, Santiam was right behind the Middle School. Now, it's the brand-new cop shop, and the new Library is being built where the Middle School used to be. Dairy Queen is gone, and there's a drive-thru coffee hut sitting in that parking lot now. The Middle School's football field is now a retirement condo complex. Take a look at that area on Google Earth. The Lowe's Distribution Center is freaking huge...

 

So, I guess this really is OT. Not exactly sure why, though.

Ahhh, well..........

 

I haven't been back in awhile -- my grandmother used to live there, but she moved to Salem and that took away my biggest reason to go. I'm guessing there's a lot that would surprise me about Lebanon now. Hopefully the old Tastee Freeze is still kickin' -- that seemed like one of the few old school places still around last time I was there. Danged good boysenberry ice cream.

 

Oh Man, I used to stop in there semi-regularly and get milkshakes. I grew up in Albany but my best friend's family moved to Lebanon when we were in HS and so I used to spend a fair amount of time over there (he lived out by Sodaville IIRC).

Gramps...

 

Tastee Freeze became Hasty Freez, and is gone now, too. They widened the road and rounded the corner for the truck route, and when they finished, the building was too close to the road so they were forced to tear it down. That, and other (some outdated) stories about Lebanon here.

 

If the Ducks can play at least somewhat close to the level they played at in their last two games of the season, they'll be fine.

 

There is still a Hasty Freeze in Albany!

 

is this implying "crack" = "quack" ?

 

I remember I wanted to go to UofO when i was a junior in HS. I went to a tour of OSU and I said to my dad before going, "i heard that some days you can smell the cow shit all over campus." He tells me, that's just a bunch of lies and exagerrations. The day has gone by and no smell, we get into one of the newer engineering labs and my dad leans over and says "can you smell the cow shit now?" I admit my fault.

Then the spring came.

And in some ways he was right, there was no cow shit smell, because we have sheep farms right by campus. So yes, you can smell that once in a while, just like when you go into the barns at the county/state fair.

 

I took summer classes one summer and the smell was pretty bad. But ya get used to it after a few weeks. Smells like HCP's house.

 

is it their starting DT's who are out or backups? If it's their starters, I expect it to be a cakewalk for UO.

I'm not much of a better, but does anyone know what Vegas thinks about this game?
