We have 20 minutes with him that we recorded yesterday afternoon — discussion about the Rose Quarter and Memorial Coliseum. It will start this morning at 7:35. You can find it on 95.5 fm this morning in the Portland area and 955thegame.com on the very computer you’re using right now.

Also, OSU football coach Mike Riley will join us at 8:30.

Our “beloved” mayor Sam Adams has the names of the fine folks named today to the committee, along with a few ridiculous statements, right here. I wonder how many on the committee have actually visited the “beloved” building in recent years? Seriously. Do they know what a dump that bulding is? Or how much it’s going to cost to save it?

They’re going to find out, I hope, very soon.

In his statement, Adams says:

. . . the Rose Quarter and the Memorial Coliseum are beloved community assets, with an even brighter future.

I really cannot tell you how much it irks me to hear the coliseum described as a “beloved” community asset — which it isn’t really in any possible way (it’s not beloved and it’s not an asset) — and to say it might have anything close to a “bright” future is downright absurd.

Ah, this is my “beloved” city of Portland.
