I certainly don't understand what you are talking about, especially the license plate reference...

Yea, some how, I just don't see the defensive line being such a weakness for the Ducks this year. I think USC will be better than people think and UCLA will be worse. I suspect Michigan will drop off a bit as will Iowa.

I honestly don't know, I was just googling for a number. Probably sloppy research on my part.

You're assuming saying "Oregon" and "Eugene" are the same thing, it's like saying "Nebraska" and "Lincoln" are the same thing. Eugene's population continues to grow at a relatively modist rate, probably around 1% per year. I believe the Portland area has been losing population since the riots...

Yea, Oregon is getting a lot of very optimistic press about how they will do in the B1G this year and it's not just Ohio State and Michigan, they've got Wisconsin on the road as well as rivalry games with Oregon St on the road and Washington at home. I don't care what anyone says rivalry games...

Yes, that's were I got the number, I think the article was in SI

I believe Oregon currently has a NIL budget of $23 million and I believe the majority of that comes from the Division Street Fund. Which is funded by various donors, including Uncle Phil. I understand a couple years ago Division Street was pumping out $10 million per year, so that annual number...

There are other donors to the Oregon atheltic department, Division Street Fund as of 2022 was generating $10 million a year in revenues for NIL. Not sure how much it's generating now, but I'd be surprised if it hadn't increased significantly. The Ducks aren't going away, we're just getting started.

I've seen this a number of places. First, it came from SlickRick, the guy fired from Washington (Oregon rival) for betting on NCAA games and the same Ricky that after he left Colorado the NCAA found 51 violations that occurred during his time as coach there. In my opinion the guy has no...

It was a Ritz Carlton when I stayed there, I had one of the cottages just off the main building. Everyone working there was perfect! It was "Good Morning Sir, how is your morning? And that would be from the gardener who stopped what he was doing to greet me. And the finale was when I got in the...

If you want to treat yourself, stay at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. I stayed there for a week a couple decades ago (different name then), it's about the nicest place I've stayed. I think Calvin Coolidge used it as a secondary residence when he was president. It's a stunning location, I think...

My brother-in-law, lives in San Diego, he's a natural at california speak. He's a "surfer dude". Saturday Night Live did a really good job with it some time ago.

Walkable and LA are oil and water, no one walks in LA

Good advice

Stadium capacity max is about 96,000 they averaged 48,000 last year, so they are basically filling it to 50%. Sit where you like

Yea, I think it's a bit old, I have Oregon at 76% over the last 10 years.

Saw this sign on the door of a business here in Eugene.

Here's a little sampling of Oregon facilities. Actually, the donations are from Phil Knight, note Nike. I know people identify them as one and the same, however they are separate entities. And I believe Jane Sanders Stadium was a donation from a donor other than Phil Knight.

As a Duck this is hard to say, but Husky Stadium is probably one of the most beautiful football stadiums in the country regardless of conference. As for facilities, I doubt anyone in the B1G ten can complete with Oregon.

As someone who traveled this country for 30 yrs before retiring, a three hour flight is easy. A bus or ground transport is much more draining. I use to fly out of PDX around noon and arrive in Newark about 8pm. Get a night's sleep and have a 9 am, 11am, 1 pm and 3 pm meeting in Manhattan, then...
