    Which road game are you going to?

    $117 per ticket should be in a pretty good location. Of course their are no obstructed views in Autzen. Usually visitors are seated toward the back of section 38 or 39. Not bad seats, just not the best. It's a night game, 6pm kickoff, so it will be a bit on the cool side and yes you guessed it...

    A rivalry with the Washington Huskies?

    So how did this Oregon vs taildragger rivalry start? It seems to have started as a result of Cal contribution funds to send the husky rowing team to the 1936 olympics (huskies won the 8 man crew gold in front of Hitler). Congratulation Huskies (don't expect that out of me again). Later in 1948...

    A rivalry with the Washington Huskies?

    Well you can pump your own gas in Oregon now (I think it's been 2-4 years, I drive an EV). Originally, Oregon required gas station attendance to pump gas as a "safety" measure. Later Oregonians sort of enjoyed NOT pumping gas because it meant getting out of their cars in rainy weather to pump...

    A rivalry with the Washington Huskies?

    We're talking "rivalry" Oregon and the taildraggers. If you want to compare the two states, they have a lot in common geographically. Both states are very similar and beautiful, of course Idaho is a beautiful state as well. Sure if you're talking population, Washington is about 8 million Oregon...

    A rivalry with the Washington Huskies?

    I'd forgotten about "Red Delicious" apples. They are some of the worst apples I've ever eaten. Hate to disagree, but I remember them as being red. So they are selling those apples in Minnesota? As for a rivalry with the "taildraggers" have at it. I'll be pulling for your fencing team and any...

    Naw.... He's already funding Stanford a bit. Sort of like to keep him happy at Oregon. He's done a great job of helping the U of O.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I've always been a fan of Justin Wilcox, local guy played for the Ducks, his dad was a Duck. He's a very under rated coach in my opinion. His biggest handicap is Cal.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    What ever the reason, Duck fans were very thankful that he came to Eugene. I'm sure it was disappointing for Gopher fans.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I wasn't offended by the 20 points, I was just trying to clarify that the QBs aren't "fresh out of high school" as was implied. Perhaps I misunderstood.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Well it's just a case of a University of Oregon student athlete giving back to the university where he competed. It's not just athletics, it's the Knight Library, the Knight Law School, the Jaqua Center for student athlete academics, the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I'm not on a "first name" basis with both of them, I'm just a typical Duck fan. We're definitely looking forward to Minnesota coming to Eugene. Friday night in Eugene will be interesting.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I certainly don't know much about how "Bucky" got to Eugene, but one local story was that he wanted to be called "Bucky" and something about that school in Madison kept Minnesota from calling him "Bucky". It's a simple thing but we heard it was a factor. If you're coming to Eugene for the game...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Oregon does have a couple more QBs in the room. One with some name recognition is Akili Smith Jr. Four Star and son of Akili Smith (former Duck and NFL QB)

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I'm going to assume that was meant as sarcasm. Neither one of them are straight out of high school. Dante Moore started for UCLA under Chip Kelly in 2023, he spent 2024 learning as a back up to Dillon Gabriel at Oregon. Autstin Novostad, has spent one year as a back up to Bo Nix and one year as...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Oregon has two QBs, 5 star Dante Moore (probable starter) and 4 star Austin Novostad. Both have a ton of upside.

    All Things Minnesota at Oregon Road Game Thread

    As for "bar scene" near the stadium, the Moshofsky Center (indoor practice facility at West end of Autzen) is basically a giant sports bar during games. At the East end of Autzen PK Park (baseball stadium) serves as an outdoor beer garden (not sure how good that would be on a Friday night in...

    Which road game are you going to?

    Agree not a lot of great hotel options, The Gordon, Fifth Street, Graduate, and Hyatt are probably the best. When going to the game check out the bus shuttle service, it's the best way to get to the games without a lot of parking hassle. While in Eugene, check out the athletic facilities, I've...

    Re-ranking all 18 Big Ten football helmets from worst to first (16. Minnesota Golden Gophers)

    As a Duck, I'm not commenting on any rankings of Duck gear.... Plenty has already been said on that subject. I will say my least favorite Big 10 helmet is the Nebraska block N helmet, it's just boring. I also think some of this is based on success or tradition at various schools. I sort of like...
