Oregon competes in 18 sports, and football pays for nearly all of them. With that being said--Oregon won the most Big-10 Championships last year out of the 28 sports the conference participates in. We don't have Field Hockey, Ice Hockey, Mens Soccer or Mens Volleyball, Wrestling, etc. So for as expensive as it is--the Athletic Department pays for itself and does not go to the university for more money, as 92% of all other Athletic Departments do. We are self-sufficient, which is pretty darn rare these days. (8%) Winning the most championships in the conference with one arm tied behind our back...says a ton about Mullens managing it.

The final score was 29-13, and the winning predicted score of 31-13 was only TWO total points off by HappyToBeADuck! He has one of the great handle names on the forum, and he has entered so many of the contests--it was his turn to be the winner, although--for fewer entrants--I'd thought the winning score would be a much greater margin. Nope! Our own HappyToBeADuck nailed it. Thanks again to all who took part in the fun, and congrats again to HappyToBeADuck! You did better than I did...

We the fans need to step up? If it comes to me holding season tickets or feeding my family, OBD is a distant runner up. I’ll watch the games on TV. it is sad to see CFB becoming so Money driven. It is already well past affordable for a family of 4. Makes you wonder how loud Autzen will be with the tea and crumpet crowd? The working man isn’t going to be able to attend more than a game or two a year.

The first 3 quarters was more Redbox Bowl than Super Bowl. Same stadium.

It will always be an awful decision to move him from defense to offense. He would have been a star in an Oregon uniform if he stayed on defense.

Congrats to my seahawks on a dominant performance and second super bowl trophy!

I just saw " Once a DUCK, Always a DUCK " Brendan Schooler on The Pats.

I have been to Hayward only once since the rebuild. Loved the old, and the rebuild is amazing. I will say that season tickets for Seahawks would be around $11k for comparable seats. Duck tickets are a bargain…lol But, I get it. The $20 million NIL revenue share is a budget killer. The total budget expenditures a year, or so ago, was $150 million. Having a surplus of less than $2 million is razor thin for that size of a budget. A budget shortfall requires the athletic department to get on the phone to donors. As fans, in all of Oregon’s sports venues, we are literally inside a venue paid by the contributions of all of Oregon’s donors. ( all season ticket holders) So, thanks for contributing.

Zzzzzzzzz

Gonzo is doing his part as is the rest of the Pat D. Maye and the offense not so much.

Four more years of B1G Purgatory.

This must be attributed to the harsh fact that we are only getting a half share of media revenue. We as fans need to step up I guess.

Well, I'm rooting for the Patriots (I grew up in CT), and so far the only highlights for me have been a couple defensive plays by Christian Gonzalez.

Not impressed with Drake Maye. This game ends at 17-0.

Any reactions thus far?

I am among those who are not renewing. My wife and I have attended every home game for many years, and some bowl games too. This price hike is just too much. This year two seats (really great seats on the 50 yard line) would be over $4,000 for the year. Last year it was $3,500 and the year before it was just over $3,200. I’m not paying $285 a seat to see Portland State get crushed again. It was fun while it lasted. We’ll miss going but instead we’ll go to more track and field events this year.

Nope. I thought he was gone, but he returned, thus I edited my post.

They choose one player at each position except QB. QBs = Dante Moore & Arch TE = Jamari Johnson DL = Mateo, Amari & Bear I hope the comparison to tOSU returnee results in 2024 is apropos.

Anyone that wants to play at Oregon and compete is alright by me. Those that left have goals they want to achieve elsewhere. I have to agree with Charles that the DT/DE depth chart took a beating with departures. Sorry to see any kid not realize their goal of starting at Oregon. But, sports either builds, or tears down a persons character, and I these young men land on their feet.

$150 per seat increase, is that a $1,000 per game seat? If so, really? I get that budgets can be lean for entertainment at certain times of our lives, but that is a little over $20 per game increase. Multiply that by 56,000, and it is not a whole lot of additional revenue for all sports. You have to remember that football pays the majority of the athletic departments bills. They are not arbitrarily increasing prices to see how much fans will pay. I have sat on non-profit boards. Oregon joined the BIG at a reduced payout. The reality is that the athletic department has increased coaching salaries substantially over the last few years, at least for football. It also includes increased travel costs for non-revenue teams. Add in inflation, NIL, and there is your immediate need for revenue. I get more fired up about paying $14 for a Coors Light inside of Autzen.

The 20 million NIL cost was just added to the budget, which impacts everything. It is no surprise to me.

Is there news about A'Mauri Washington that I missed?

Out: Tionne Gray, DT, as he is 330 lbs., and incredibly agile. In: Iverson Hooks at WR puts a ton of pressure on Evan Stewart and the newbies to out-perform. We all win, and with an experienced QB returning--the passing game looks explosive. Iverson Hooks
