SOU football play calling
@SOU_Football @SOURaiders
The Southern Oregon University football team was ranked #22 going into the season. After blowing out Menlo College on the road, defeating #2 Carroll College, and finishing off #26 Eastern Oregon in the first three weeks of the season they jumped to #9 in the new NAIA poll released today.
The Raiders will be playing at Phillips Field (Ashland High School) this Saturday (9/20/14) against undefeated College of Idaho. The game starts at 1 p.m., but you will want to arrive before noon to get a seat in the shaded grandstand. The weather forecast predicts temperatures in the 90s.
After this Saturday, future football games will be played at Raider Stadium with the new turf.

Melvin Mason was named the Frontier Conference Player of the Week, and on top of that he also was awarded the NAIA National Football Offensive Player of the Week for his performance this past Saturday when the Raiders pulled off a big upset in Ashland.

One of the keys to blocking a field goal attempt is to jump between the kicker and the uprights. Not like this…

Squadron of pelicans
I took today’s photo a week ago while we were at a friend’s ranch a few hours to the east of Ashland. You probably won’t see pelicans in Ashland, but they are common near Klamath Lake. This picture captures only about half of the total pelicans that made up this squadron. After gracefully circling around the property for more than 10 minutes they were scared off by a single hawk.
SOU Soccer – Elise De Jesse

Once upon a time, less than a year ago, my photos that showed up on souraiders.com were frequently too small to see and/or cropped in such a way that balls and heads were cut off. The new Raiders site is much improved, with bigger photos, and less cropping. The photo of today’s soccer game was cropped a bit. This is mostly my fault for not cropping it to fit on the SOU site correctly, but I wanted to give you the full photo in case you are interested.
