This Friday night will be the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The event will be shown on NBC starting at 7:30 Friday night February 12. This years Olympics will be held in Vancouver B.C. and will feature the Cypress Mountain for most of the events.

I welcome this time of year and will be glad to cheer on my fellow Americans as they compete against the best athletes in the world. No matter who wins the gold, I am sure that everyone will put aside petty differences and congratulate the winning athletes.

There may be a new trend coming in the world of football. It seems that some colleges have begun coloring their fields to match the colors of their team. The first to do so was Boise State who installed a blue colored field for their team. In order to follow suit, Eastern Washington plans to have a field of red for their team to play on. I can’t imagine how much further this trend will go, but maybe we’ll see other innovative trends like this in the future.
