The late game on Saturday nights are my favorites. Maybe the boozers don't like it cause they're already too liquored up by game time, but i love coming home from work and watching them. I'm usually snoozing through those Eastern breakfast games. I think a Network ought to make sure the Pac 12, or 8 schedule stays mainly in the West. Make them SEC schools come out west more often. They probably don't want too cause their students might fall in love with the environment.
I remember mid to late 80s going down to Duck games at Autzen with my dad. Pull up about 20 minutes before kickoff….parking spaces everywhere. Walk right up, get tickets and sit midfield. Lost every time we went, but will never forget those days!
Me too, but you and I are watching on TV. I fly up for one game a year. (Usually in September when the weather tends to be nice) But I feel for those fans who drive down from Portland and don't get home until about 2AM. after sitting in the cold for 3-4 hours. Hotel room prices are jacked up for home games so that is not an option for many. These fans are spending a lot of money to support their team, and should not be screwed over by the TV networks. Hell, they often don't even schedule the time of the game until a week before.
I remember riding my bike over there with a friend at halftime; because they would let you in for free at halftime! Then later it got so you had to wait until one quarter left, then later as they got better, no free watching...
https://theathletic.com/3444339/202...viewership/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983 and the national fucking media keeps talking about how the Big-12 is in better shape than the Pac-12
I wanted to attend the Ducks vs. Bulldogs season opener but, alas, not gonna pay $300 per ticket. I'll just smoke a brisket, watch the game on tv, and call it a day. GO BULLDOGS!!
Continue to build, and play at the highest level, and the Ducks will get their chance to smoke those swamp boys.
Yep. We dont even go to late night games anymore because we don't want to get home so late. We have season tickets to the Beavs.

What Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning said at Pac-12 media day https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/20...ach-dan-lanning-said-at-pac-12-media-day.html
For me, Id prefer they stayed in the Pac if they George can negotiate a decent financial package. They could also add a few decent teams. You cant underestimate the hardship of the kind of travel that would be required if they joined big10.
The problem is how much is Phil pushing for them to be in the Big 10? I too would rather them try to be the kings of the new Pac 12 conference after adding a couple of teams. But the pull of the money seems to be all that matters anymore. And the "who cares about what happens to those left behind" sucks in the highest. I'm enjoying watching the construction on Reser Stadium on the daily webcam, and it just sucks to think the rivalry with the Ducks may go by the wayside. The Beavers are getting better under Jonathan Smith, and may get back to the Dennis Erickson era level. That would be awesome if they were good too. Man! the possibilities. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but the Big 10(SUCKS!) second hand offering for the Ducks to join their Stuper conference might be too much to pass up.
As this goes on I'm shocked that Nike and UofO didn't get wind of USC and UCLA looking at leaving AND disappointed that Nike and UofO didn't see the writing on the wall and decide to jump for greener pastures first. The Ducks should stay in the Pac 12 with the exception of football. Nike should start their own football league. College football is going to end up with 2 super conferences within the next 5-10 years, why not be a leader in that instead of looking to join up with someone else?
Going to be interesting to see what kind of financial package George can come up with? Oregon & WA may end up re-signing with the PAC for another 4/5 years?
I hope so. Boise State and San Diego State make sense. BYU would have made more sense in the Pac 12 than Big 12. Oh well. F USC Condems & UCLA.
