The end of an era?

Can it really be called an "era" when it lasts less than two years and has a 14-35 w/l record?

BTW-I was at the nationally televised PU/Gonzaga game on Monday night. I was amazed at how poorly our guys played. Ouch.

Another great homecoming...

I wonder if faculty always feel like this...I actually prefer homecoming here at Pepperdine than at any of my four alma maters.

Today was the third Pepperdine Homecoming we've been too. Again, it was a day full of festivities with food and fun for the kids, perfect weather (blue skies and 80 degrees), and a ton of sporting events. We went down to the "Homecoming Village" around 11 and played a bit of kids stuff (bounce house, painted faces...) and grabbed some food.

Then, at 1pm we watched as the mighty Waves Men's Volleyball team crushed the top-ranked BYU cougars 3-0 in 78 minutes.

After that I wanted to watch our baseball team play the recently #3 ranked Wichita State team, but I was outvoted in favor of In-N-Out at Alumni Park (could there possibly be a better way to fill your arteries with trans fats than with In-N-Out at Alumni Park???? I think not!).

Apparently the game wasn't much to see anyway as we pasted the highly regarded Shockers 12-2.

Then we came home and rode bikes for a while before my buddy CP invited me to join him with VIP seats to the Homecoming game against crosstown rival Loyola Marymount. In case you don't know...the basketball program is in a "transitional year"...meaning we suck. But with a rousing second-half performance by Chase Griffin, we pulled out an astounding victory.

All together, a terrific day. Sometimes it feels like I'm at a resort...
