TRAUMA TELEVISION: NFL vs SVU

December 20, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Trauma television: scenes where you look away. The NFL is a hard watch at the beginning of the season because we forget how violent it is. Then we get up to spreed. When injuries happen it’s, “Well that’s football.”

PETTY GRUDGES SETTLED BY COLLEGE FOOTBALL

December 2, 2024 by David Gillaspie

My petty grudges are just that, petty. No one texts me with bad news to cheer me up. They’re not those kind of grudges. Mine get settled without my help. That’s what makes them petty. For instance:

GROWING UP AND STAYING SHARP

November 19, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Growing up is a decision. It’s a decision to be on time, show up ready to go, and inspire others by your example. Like writing a blog, lol. The biggest decision to make? Decide to stay sharp, in spite of having sons.

OREGON LOCATION FINALLY REVEALED

November 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The Oregon location is where it’s always been, somewhere between Seattle and San Francisco. That’s what I got from talking to foreigners in their own country. No idea of Oregon, Washington, or Portland. But Seattle? Yes. California? Yes. Why does Oregon get the same confused reaction from sports analysts?

LONG WAY TO THE TOP FOR OREGON DUCKS

October 19, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The long way to the top started with Ohio State where the Oregon put one duck foot in front of another until the end. It wasn’t the usual end for games like this. Ohio State had it wrapped up and ready for delivery with ten seconds to go, then six seconds. One thing led to […]

STOMP OUT CANCER FROM THE KICK OFF

October 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Stomp out cancer was the theme for the Oregon Ducks v Michigan State football game at Autzen stadium. It was a fitting theme in my family where cancer is no stranger. Maybe your family, too, but I hope not. Here’s what it looks like and sounds like:
