I don't know if I can choose

These three all are very strong choices, I can’t decide!

I do wonder why you didn’t initially include the Civil War football game at Autzen since that broke the home team W streak, and also I would say the Emerald Bowl win was big too. Even though the Emerald Bowl win was a bit ugly it did make it 4 for 4 for Riley and rounded off another quiet but strong winning year.

But again I can’t argue with the choices above, and wouldn’t “argue” with the preliminary ones either.

Those are included with the top 4 seeds

Maybe I didn’t make that statement clearly enough, but the Civil War win, win over Cal, Ryan Ortiz’s grand slam against UCLA, and the Emerald Bowl win are the top 4 seeds. I didn’t put those up for vote since they would have won unanimously anyway.

Oh, missed that - sorry!

Okay, that makes sense, yes I was thinking about the grand slam also but thought that could be just me since I was there and it was awesome!

Anyway, I think I missed a post somewhere, so sorry about that!

And by the way

I think the moment(s) of the year for the Building the Dam blog were your postings from Omaha and the movies and photos from the games. Those were great! Thanks for sharing, and makes me feel bad since I brought up the idea and I didn’t follow through on my end of things. But I couldn’t follow up on what you provided anyway!

Thank you

No problem… it was good to get all of those pictures and videos uploaded here. I’d be happy to see what you have, but no hurry or obligation at all.

Now, if someone would break the tie in this poll….

There you go

Okay, took at being my “favorite” and “best” moment, so that takes out the Jay firing (which was a big moment no doubt), but I did enjoy beating ASU at home!

This is crazy....

One hour baseball and Jay John are ahead, the next Jay John and the Gymnasts are in the lead. A #7 and #8 seed still needs to be determined! So I need one to take the lead and one to take second. No ties!

end rant.

True, but!

You did ask us to break that one tie and you call got us to vote! It was sitting there on 9 to 9 to 9 for awhile!
