This is a great move for Chris. He gets a big-time upgrade at quarterback, and he will really get a chance to get on the field in New Orleans. With a new coach, there is also a level playing field and everyone will be learning the new system.
I’m glad I […]

Tsillan Cellars Sangiovese 2003
80% Sangiovese Oregon
5% Merlot Red Mountain WA
10% Cabernet Sauvingon Columbia Valley WA
10% Cabernet Franc Red Mountain WA.
According to them: This 2003 Southern Oregon Sangiovese is filled with aromas of dried cherries, vanilla, leather, and truffles. Dry and age worthy tannins and fruit dance on the palate giving this wine a […]

I’ve been using Newsgator daily for nearly two years and have grown to rely quite heavily on the program for my daily consumption of media (blogs to trade press to metro to craigslist postings). I’m a big fan.
Earlier this week Newsgator decided to publish some much needed upgrades in order to […]

I still can’t stand to read about college basketball or even talk about it. So, my reading has turned to wine. I found this blog called “The Pour”, written by Eric Asimov of The New York Times.

Congrats to my brother Ryan for finishing the Rome Marathon over the weekend without any heavy duty training!

I’m proud of these guys. Despite the disapointing finish, these guys provided yet another phenomenal season with great games, great plays, and provided many of us with a reason to get together with friends twice a week from November through the end of March. For all that, I thank them!
That said, the next […]

at least the Zags are rolling along! More on my big weekend soon.

Sophomore year in the Kennel. This game was the loudest I have ever witnessed. Gonzaga and Pepperdine were fierce rivals during these years, and every game was hotly contested.
This game in particular stands out as it seemed the crowd just willed the team to comeback from a double digit second half deficit. […]

In February of 2004 I was lucky enough to scrape together a ticket to join my parents, my brother Ryan, the Schmitt’s, and the Cooney’s at the last game in The Kennel , formerly known as Martin Center and before that Kennedy Pavillion. I was there when Ronny Turiaf scored the last Gonzaga points […]

It’s painful to think about this game, and the missed opportunity, but somehow a loss is still one of my top 10 memories. I was stationed in Crested Butte, CO working for Club Med in March of 2003. I gathered with a group of guys that I really got along with to watch the […]

This is the most recent memory on the list, taking place last November at the Maui Invitational, which many called the most competitive preseason tournament ever. A group of Zag alumni and other fans gathered at Rockbottom in Bellevue for the intensely suspenseful double overtime game. The rare win over a Big 10 […]

The home game against Pepperdine in 2002. The last home appearance for Dan Dickau was also the first nationally televised game on ESPN from the Kennel. We waited in lines forever to get tickets and then again to get into this game. More than one great story could be told about this […]
