Jeju island in South Korea is famous for its black pig. Apparently they have some pink ones too. Or at least they used to…

I enjoyed a pig in the form of one of the better hire katsu I have had, and perhaps the best katsu I have eaten outside of Japan while on Jeju.

Danny Hayes of the Oregon State University Beavers

Danny Hayes hit a two-run home run in the second inning last night to fuel the Beavers win over Kansas State. Although OSU lost the first game of the series, Andrew Moore got the win for Oregon State in game 2, and Hayes led the offense to a 4-3 win in game 3.

Today’s photo comes from last September. I believe this was Kellogg Beach, just north of Crescent City in Northern California.

Liz Brenner – University of Oregon Volleyball

Last week there was an article in USA Today about an athlete Ellie and I watched last fall.

Note that the USA Today put in a picture labeled as Liz Brenner (who wears #6) that is actually Canace Finley (#5). Ooops.

#24 Christian Jones of the Oregon Ducks

The University of Oregon did not do as well as Oregon State in the 2013 College World Series. Even though they had a #1 seed (and hence hosted the games in the Regionals), their 3-2 record was not better than Rice’s 3-1 so the #2 seeded Owls advanced, and the Ducks were eliminated last night. The Ducks finished the season with 48 wins, the most in their history.

Between innings at the OSU vs. UofO game a couple weekends ago, the cameraman turned the TV camera from the field to the stands to capture this baby. The dad thought it would be a good idea to take the bottle from the baby and then bring the bottle to the camera’s direction. This was the result.
