Last night’s dinner consisted of a another delicious Sammich. Not the one pictured above, that one is from the archives. I didn’t have my camera with me last night. The one above was a special (Miguelito) and hence not on the regular menu board (pictured below).

Ashland High School football
Matt Hedges
Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. tonight (11/8/13) against Pendleton. The Grizzlies have a perfect 9-0 record but were shortchanged in the seeding. Despite finishing #3 in the polls, AHS will go into the 2013 OSAA 5A State Football Championships as the #5 seed. (Ashland beat Springfield in the game featured in today’s photos, and Springfield went in with two losses as the #3 seed.)
The seeding makes a big difference. Assuming the top seeds win, Ashland will have to defeat Pendleton, the #4 seed, and the #1 seed in order to advance to the championship game. The #2 and #3 seeds don’t face anyone higher than the #6 seed before facing each other in the semifinals. Obtaining the #5 seed instead of the #4 or #3 seed also means this is likely the last game at home for the Grizzlies.

Autumn on the SOU campus
Soon things won’t look so great. By the end of November only the evergreen trees will be something other than brown and dreary. These last few moments of the fall season are to be cherished.
The buildings in the background of today’s photo of the Southern Oregon University campus are the Computer Sciences buildings (Computing Services and the Main Computer Lab).
