DUCKS WIN
As Chip Kelly so eloquently pointed out, we can now, for the first time in 95 years, call ourselves Rose Bowl champions. The fact that it came at the end of a hard-fought shoot-out and a grueling, testing season is just icing on the cake. Congrats to Kiko Alonso@@http://directory.uoregon.edu/telecom/directory.jsp?p=findpeople%2Ffind_results&m=student&d=person&b=name&s=Kiko+Alonso+@@ and Lavasier Tuinei,@@http://directory.uoregon.edu/telecom/directory.jsp?p=findpeople%2Ffind_results&m=student&d=person&b=name&s=Lavasier+Tuinei@@ who both brought in their own stories of personal redemption to the team.
Watching your favorite show over and over
“Jersey Shore” — but we hope not — was more than likely streaming on a few students’ computers. Our choice: “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”

Rick Santorum’s surge in Iowa
There’s something about Santorum’s Google problem (don’t Google it) that he will never get past. The problem with it is it’s been around for so long and used so pervasively that it will color every part of people’s perceptions of him. And we just can’t imagine a President Santorum; wouldn’t that just be a mess?@@nicely put@@
Summer tuition going up
Expect more words from us about this, but this really sucks. Considering we may be paying for EMU/Student Recreation Center renovations soon, this is not a positive development.
