UW Starting Slow vs Rutgers
Yep, 38-19 final score. UW 5-1 + in the PO hunt with the only loss coming against Ohio State. OBD's next week's opponent, Rutgers, is 3-3. Rutgers has lost several leads in the 2nd half this season. Next up for UW is a road game at Michigan. Then, Illinois in Seattle.

Rutgers went into halftime at 11pm EST and came out sleepwalking through the second half.. Go figure. They never had a chance.

A B1G Autzen Expansion? 'Not-So-Fast!'
The athletic department pays attention to demographic trends. Oregon population grew by less than 1/2 of 1% in the last year. And, that was all age groups combined, all ethnicities combined. So, how many "new" fans might find their way to Autzen? What would make them fans? What is the renewal rate on season tickets? What is the pace of replacement with new ticket buyers to ones who "age out," or move away, or who prefer the economics and convenience of watching from home? Aside from restrooms, concessions and wi-fi what will attract new fans, and retain old ones, given similar W-L records as the recent past? Offering alcohol to seating areas can both attract and detract for attendance. I suspect the AD's plans are more data driven than emotionally driven? And, that is why speculation about expansion is relatively modest. Digital and Social Media SportsAttendance Issues in College Athletics and What Leaders a...It used to be so easy.

UW Starting Slow vs Rutgers
Will UW complete another comeback and win? I don't want Rutgers to be all that fired up in Week 8. UW 17- Rutgers 10, with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Georgia Tech defeated Wake last week in OT. Tech plays VA Tech tomorrow. No. 24 USF is up 56-36 at North Texas with 7 minutes left in the 4th. A win helps Miami's SOS. The G6 PO participant could be decided on 10/25 when USF visits No. 23 Memphis. GO DUCKS! Put Out Them Cigs!

A B1G Autzen Expansion? 'Not-So-Fast!'
I think coming up with the extra $20.5 million each year to pay the athletes is a real deal. And we don't want a different stadium. 60K including standing room will have to do. I personally love being at the games, but my old body can't stand and scream for 4 quarters, so I let younger bods take my place and I watch from my comfy recliner on my lil 60" lcd.

EweDub QB fumbles on the 3 yd line after a 90+ yd drive, then the Fusky DBs can't stay with the Rutgers WRs. At least the D-line is holding it's own led by Matayo's cousin held them to a FG.

A B1G Autzen Expansion? 'Not-So-Fast!'
I definitely see an upgrade to suites, restrooms, and concessions on the north side. Construction costs to add significant seating would be expensive. $90 million was spent on the last expansion in 2002, adding around 12,000 seats. Getting the money and approval for further improvements will take awhile. All season ticket holders on the north side would be thrilled with just better restrooms.

A B1G Autzen Expansion? 'Not-So-Fast!'
Essentially anything that goes on around Autzen would be subject to City approval due to traffic arteries, transit, infrastructure, police resources, etc. Given the political climate in Eugene, no one should ever assume anything relative to what city planners would recommend and what the council would approve. https://www.registerguard.com/story/news/2023/01/24/eugene-uo-university-oregon-autzen-alton-baker-park-science-center/69833009007/

A B1G Autzen Expansion? 'Not-So-Fast!'
The only way I could see a major expansion like 10k more seats is if there is some high speed rail on the I-5 corridor. I've only been to a few games but the 2.5 hour drive there and 3-4 hour drive home is a lot after 4-6 hours in Eugene. I know many season ticket holders from Portland do it every week we are home but I know I couldn't. The driving and the parking is exhausting. But high speed rail that gets you there in maybe an hour and not having to worry about driving or, in many cases more stressful, parking would change things. The Eugene area is also maxed out in terms of lodging. Then to complicate every expansion.... Afding more seats and this people has a massive impact on the city and freeway but it's only 7-8 days a year! So acquiring more parking just doesn't make they much sense. And how quickly do they get a return on that investment? It's Oregon, they'd get a positive return but how many years? It's certainly short term costs vs long term income and college football is changing so fast right now i would imagine that taking the risk of expanding Autzen might be a bit too much at this moment.

Dan Is OBD's Man!
Coach Lanning is a real gem, and I think Oregon is the right fit for him. I can't wait to see him on the sidelines of Brooks Field 10 years from now. .... Hopefully with some heavier knuckles. 😏 And who knows ... Maybe someday we'll have a building named after him. 😎 🦆
