Ashland Monster Dash

Tonight is the annual pre-race pasta party at the Historic Ashland Armory. Feel free to just show up and pay at the door. You don’t need to be in the race tomorrow to come and eat tonight. The meal isn’t expensive, and all proceeds go to a great cause.

Panorama of Raider Stadium in autumn

Yesterday the Raiders found out that Rocky Mountain College will be forced to forfeit their prior victory against SOU due to an ineligible player when RMC squeaked out their 35-30 win back in August. RMC is appealing the verdict, but barring a change this means that SOU moves to 5-1 in the conference with a head-to-head matchup against the other 5-1 team (#7 ranked Carroll of Helena, Montana) in less than two weeks.

This year’s parade will be on Halloween beginning at 3:30. Last year I had a class to teach at that time so I missed it, but I will try to be there this year. Today’s photo is from the 2011 parade.

Melvin Mason turns the corner on his way for a touchdown against Montana Northern

The Southern Oregon University football team is back in the polls for the first time since narrowly losing each of their first three games of the season. They beat #18 Montana Northern with ease this past Saturday for their fourth win in a row to earn a #22 ranking in this week’s poll. They have four more games to crack the top 16 in order to be assured a post-season game (or more) in the NAIA Championship Series.

Austin Dodge was named NAIA (and Frontier Conference) Player of the Week (again).

Early April in Ashland

I have been posting a lot of people pics recently. Today I plucked one from the archives without any humans visible in it. Wrong season, I know, but it’s fun sometimes to see what things will again look like in six months.
