As UO preps for arch rival OSU in a national championship quest, a reflection: QB Bill Musgrave and company jump-started the program to prosperity. Characters like Zeus filled the 1989 street scene.
Yes, Zeus: You and I passed him, or he passed us, countless times. One of those figures who lurks in our memories across time. Who was that one other guy around 13th Street and campus?
Too bad about Zeus being gone. As mentioned a while back, I referred to him in an old journal entry of mine, from 1988 or so. Brings back visions -- your writing is vivid.
My son is a Duck now (it was wild to be in his dorm room - an exact replica of mine!) and will be attending with his dad. I'll watch from the warm living room :)

Dear Rachel:
Those times were a blast, weren’t they? Glad you enjoyed the piece. Let’s get ready for the Civil War.

Sei Italiana? Io, per forza, devo guardare la partita a Milano. Che triste, poverino io!
Great story - brought me back to those good ole’ days at UO 💚💛
