I think I’ve done this trail three times over the past four Octobers. No plans to do it again this year but you never know…

Brian McDermott (posthumously)

Brian McDermott was a former head coach at Dakota State who took them to their first ever NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball Final Four in 1992. He collected 117 victories during his 10-year tenure at DSU before accumulating hundreds of wins at SOU. I happened to be there this past weekend when he was recognized at half time during the SOU-DSU football game.

Below is the video that was played at the induction ceremony the day before the game. I wasn’t there; we were an hour away in Sioux Falls, but this is a most excellent five minutes for your viewing pleasure.

Green Springs Mountain Loop Trail (September 14, 2025)

After almost 25 years in the Rogue Valley, it’s now difficult to discover new things. However, a couple of days ago we set out for a walk we had never done before.
