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.

SOU volleyball – Motade Atanda
@SOURaiders @RaiderVB
Motade executed 60% of her attacks on Thursday and Friday nights. (A hitting percentage over 25% is considered excellent, and an average hitting percentage is below 20%.)
SOU Volleyball will play at home against OIT this Wednesday night.

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

A few days ago my wife noticed this bear which could be seen from our backyard. The bear went for this apple that had fallen from the tree. Although we see signs of bear activity frequently, this is the first one I have actually seen in the neighborhood since five years ago when we saw this other bear.
De’Anthony Thomas – beginning of 86 yard kickoff return – Oregon Ducks football
Of course if you want live football, AHS is the place to be today. However, after today’s SOU game you may want more. Or maybe you are a fan of the NFL and want to watch with a crowd instead of by yourself in your living room.
The #3 Ducks play #7 Michigan State after the Raiders’ game this afternoon. The obvious choices of places to watch the game in Ashland are Red Zone, Louie’s, Northwest Pizza, or Omars. However, if you have been to any or all of these places on game day you know that the crowds can be too big, and the service can become very slow.
A new option is Club 66. Uzi has five or six TVs going now, with up to three different DirecTV stations playing simultaneously, including a 10′ projection screen. He also has 6 beers on tap (and more in cans and bottles). But this next item may be the clincher for some of you. Pitchers of ANY beer (including Ninkasi’s Total Domination IPA and other micro draft beers) are just $10! That’s about the cost of two pints at the other places.
The Sunday breakfast deal is also a bargain.

Buckle Rash
After tonight’s volleyball game, head down to Lounge South for some Buckle Rash. Things are supposed to start at about 10.
Section 5150 @ Club 66 (9/3/14)
@5150Metal @HawthorneThtr
Attention Eugene and Portland! Section 5150 is coming, and you don’t want to miss them. Section 5150 features some super nice guys, but more importantly they shred.
Tonight’s show (9/4/14) is at the Black Forest in Eugene. Tomorrow’s show (9/5/14) is at the Hawthorne Theatre.

Warriors of Light will kick things off tonight (9/3/14) at 6 p.m. for this all ages show.
Club 66 also has scheduled some metal, Section 5150 “with Special Guests”. That show is supposed to start at 9 p.m. I’m hoping to catch some of it after the Musichead show.
