Ducks

That sucks. It's not great here in Metro, but nothing compared to 2 years ago in Eugene-Springfield. It was smoke inhalation air.

 

After six years of solid recruiting and brand building we really aren’t that more talented if at all than some of Mike and Chips teams. Even with all the 4&5 star players. Plus we’ve had to lean transfer qb’s.
Haven’t yet lived up to all hype.

 

I remember going through the Burgerking drive thru on Gateway St. and it looked like fog, but was smoke. After that event my car filters were Black, cabin included.

 

Makes me feel like this 4 & 5 star recruit crap is BS. Get us some players who can play. Not excuses.

 

The Ducks, under Chip were so close.

 

That team with Dixon was rolling.

 

They should postpone this. Look at the air quality map right now

 

No! I wanna watch football

 

You can watch the Beavs

 

According to the website I used 2 years ago, it's just as bad in Eugene now as then.

 

That number 22 running back is garbage

 

Ok this is a blowout good job ducks. If Ty Thompson doesn’t get burn later in this game he must be really really REALLY pathetic lol

 

Because he doesn’t have much confidence and probably realized he’s not that good

 

Lotta hate for a guy you've never seen play.

 

he took over a 0-12 UCF team and turned them into an undefeated 13-0 team in just 2 seasons. He was supposedly the next great coach, and Nebraska though they'd hired a winner and former player. They were ecstatic in Lincoln. Frost was 16-30 at Nebraska

he famously said that it was nearly impossible to recruit elite players to Eugene. Mario proved him wrong

 

Nebraska isn’t chic to young recruits like it was when Osborne was there. Kids these days have never seen Nebraska even relevant.

When I was a kid Nebraska was elite. There was Nebraska fans everywhere you went.

 

Hey guys, long time lurker here. Blazers are my number one team, but BYU is my two. I'm from SLC and flying up to PDX for the game this Saturday. We are staying in the downtown Portland Marriott and driving to the game Saturday morning. I know the drive to Eugene is typically just over 1.5 hours, but how bad does game day traffic get? How long should I plan the drive to take? Also, any fun pregame activities that I should get there early for?

 

3 hours with traffic and parking.

 

It will be Saturday and the weather is still decent so there will be some recreational traffic not related to the game(s). The drive down in the morning probably won't be bad. Oregon State has a home game Saturday too, but the game time starts are 4.5 hours apart, so that will help. But you don't want to be driving back to Portland after the OSU game finishes. I'd give it an hour, better 2 hours after the Duck game ends before driving back to PDX

if you're not familiar with the drive, be advised that I-5 is 3 lanes (both ways) thru Salem, but reduces to 2 lanes after Salem. That reduction can be a bit of a bottleneck and those 40-50 miles of 2 lane interstate can test your patience
