Changes
- Patriots 31 Eagles 17
- Here's the deal: If the Fighting Illini finish the regular season undefeated I am dying half my hair orange and the other half blue. If anybody else wants to join me in this venture feel free but I am going to do it even without a partner.
- Beavers and Duck is almost a year old. So in celebration of one year of thoughts and stories things are going to improve. Keep your eyes peeled as Beavers and Ducks will have a new host and new look in the near future. I will continue to "blog" at the new site along with the addition of new features and such.
- By this time next weekend I will have posted some picture of the many models I have been constructing in my architecture studio.
- There are nine days until Valentine's Day. I hope you've got your sweetie something or its time to break up.
- My alma mater just announced plans for a $28 million renovation and construction that is quite intriguing. I knew there had been talks of such for some time and Will Wolford said it best when he mentioned that the school waited to announce athletic upgrades when those could be coupled with academic upgrades. Thats for sure. I know a few tenured teachers who aren't too happy that King Glaser is getting what he wants. St. Xavier will not be getting a dime of my imaginary money but in the end I think this is a necessary and great project. St. Xavier is already one the premier Catholic/private schools in the nation and these changes will definitely keep it there for a long time. The new athletic complex appears state of the art and I'd love to see some plans and renderings of what they have planned.
- That's all!
Beavers and Ducks
What's in a name? Probably not much. But where then does "Beavers and Ducks" come from? Billy Bob Thorton, playing "Terry" in the underrated movie "Bandits" utters "beavers and ducks" when he is awaken one night. Or maybe it comes from the crazy state of Oregon, where Oregon State's mascot is a beaver and the Univeristy of Oregon's mascot is a duck. No matter where the name comes from, who doesn't like beavers and ducks?
