Why "Wednesday" and Saturday? Why not Thursday and Saturday? Wednesday makes it a long trip with plenty of dead time, it's only about an hour flight from Seattle to Eugene.

Given that Oregon is on a quarter system, I'm curious how you think this impacts portal transfers.

Just for fun how about they hire Day?

Anyone playing the Huskies, probably Oregon State the most. Especially since they got left out in the cold during the conference reshuffle.

He does have his bachelors and masters degrees. He's always struck me as a good person, I believe he has a hearing problem that he's had to overcome as well. He's just had a ton of injuries, without those I think he'd be playing on Sundays.

Got our first snow of the year yesterday. Not much about an inch, followed by around a quarter of an inch of freezing rain. Stopped most everything here in Eugene. Current temp at 10 am is 22 F. Should be over by Wednesday. Then back in the 50s. Women's basketball game is still going to be...

The difference between your trip and the Gophers trip is that they will be on a charter and I think it's a little over one hour flight from Minneapolis to Bloomington. That's a very short flight.

I think this mileage thing is way over played. Before I retired, I'd fly from PDX to Newark, leaving my office at noon, catch a 1 pm flight arrive in Newark around 9:30PM. Next day I'd have 9 am, 11am, 1pm and 3 pm meetings in Manhattan, then I'd catch a 6 PM flight out of Newark back to...

https://weather.com/travel/news/2023-11-22-worst-weather-airports-us Thought that perhaps a little update on worst airports for weather delays would be appropriate here, especially since someone is using a Fox service as some sort of authority. I see Dallas Fort Worth made the bottom 10 list...

One of the things I think the PAC 12 did right was holding Championship games in Las Vegas. It's a great place for sporting events and a great draw for fans. Nothing like watching March Madness in Vegas, great weather, great sports bars.

LOL... I think at Autzen they have three different check points as you enter the stadium. First, is for bottles reminding people that any bottles brought into the stadium have to be empty and plastic, they also send anyone with a backpack or purse to the second check point to have them examined...

Oregon, Wa, USC and UCLA are officially in the Big 10 Aug 2, 2024. PAC 12 does standard distributions to all 12 teams this year.

For what it's worth, Autzen is similar in size, a bit larger and typical attendance is 102% of capacity. Getting into the stadium runs quite smoothly, easy and fast, someone might want to see what the differences are between how it's handled at the two stadiums. As for Autzen, fans don't sit...

I think it will be much more difficult to go undefeated in the expanded Big 10. Example: Michigan plays, Texas, Oregon, USC at home and Washington and Ohio State on the road next year. Going undefeated with that schedule won't be easy.

You are correct Nike sponsored Steve in 1974 to the tune of $5000. Steve graduated from the University of Oregon in 1973, so this was after he left Oregon. I don't think they sponsored athletes that were enrolled at the University of Oregon. FYI: I did know Steve on a very casual basis, played...

I don't think Phil Knight was giving to Oregon in the 60s or the 70s. Nike wasn't founded until 1970 (yes it was called "Blue Ribbon Sports" before that). And Nike didn't go public until 1980. I think it was some time after 1980, before Phil started pumping money into the U of O. I think the...

That's a valid question, of course Nike has a lot of Duck alumni in powerful places. For example: The Warsaw Sports Marketing program at the U of O is directly linked to Nike and they do a lot of things together, point is Nike and Oregon are more than Phil and Penny Knight and Oregon.

Here's the new Oregon Indoor Football facility I believe it's scheduled to be completed in 2024

Since 1990 the Ducks are 16-9 vs the current Big 10 teams. Also, Oregon's athletic facilities are ranked the best in the country by 247 Sports. Here's just a sample, this is Hayward Field, the track and field facility. Under Hayward Field it is amazing, go to hayward.uoregon.edu to get a real...

I call BS on your comment. I knew a number of guys that played at different schools at different levels, they all got extras of some sort. FYI, I was studying to become a minister at a very small school (800 students), very conservative environment, "crooked" wasn't any part of the environment.
