Dad Luv's them Ducks!

Dear Journal~

My Husband is so SPOILED!!!

In the first of April Todd had the opportunity to travel with Coach Hosner and Coach Stott up to Oregon to attend a special conference by the Oregon Duck's Head Coach Chip Kelly & Coaching Staff.
He was so excited to be able to see the facilities and get the chance to implement a few of the great things the Duck's do into the Pine View Offense! I think it goes with out saying that he was in hog heaven!

At one point he called & sounded almost as if in tears as he informed me that he was walking down the "Tunnel" to the stadium! I mean really! Men never grow up! ;)

It is a beautiful campus and I think the only complaint that Todd had was the fact that he couldn't get a Diet Coke to save his soul! Eugene is not the biggest place in the world either & he said there was a bar & grill on every corner, but no coke products! (get over it...Pepsi's better!)

Here is the Football building, which includes the show cases & memorabilia, locker rooms & weight room. The indoor arena sits directly behind it.







This is how it looks on the outside with the arena behind it...
and here is the inside entry way with all the show cases & memorabilia...

Coach Hosner & Tony Dungy (former coach of the Colts)

The Duck's Stadium was a little ways down the road from the indoor arena...here are the boys on their way!

The last but not least place the guys toured was the Student Academic Center. This building is just for student athletes...is has all kinds of services available to the students. From tutoring & study areas and what not! It's always important to have good grades! ;)



All in all the coaches learned a lot & came home even more in love with the Oregon Ducks!!!

I'm really glad they got to go and can't wait for another great season of Pine View Football!

Love

Shondell :)
