I remember way back when the The Bottom Ten was published weekly in the sports section of the RG and Oregon was almost always in it. Not fun for the fans, players, or coaches of the teams so listed. While I'm excited about the Ducks being in the B1G, I'm still a little in shock that the PAC-12 no longer exists, and hope that Oregon St. and Wash. State can get a new conference going that will give them some athletic success and financial security.

I love Sabrina, but wasn't she the guest picker last time? Maybe she'll bring Hronis to the table with her!

Early in the year when the weather is warm/dry enough we can all wear the color of the week easily. But when it gets cold and/or rainy, that's different. I don't have jackets in all the possible colors, so I do my best, wearing yellow under whatever outwear I need for the game.

Funny, it didn't even occur to me how rain might affect the teams! 😄 I've been concerned about myself, what to wear, hoping that since it is a 40% chance of rain, that the 60% non-chance will prevail!

Friday is the day to go to get a close-up look without the crowd. Not saying don't go on Saturday too, if you're so inclined, but Friday you can go in early afternoon, and the crew will be there on and off.

Sad news. Condolences to all his family and friends.

Me too!

We really need to have Allegiant Stadium be one of the bowl sites for the playoffs.

I've always preferred to just take it one game at a time. 😊

Funny, at the last Duck home game, just before it started, I and the people sitting around me got to wondering why anyone would schedule a wedding on a Saturday during college football season!

Wow! What a game! I'm exhausted! (Good thing I'm at home, in my Barcalounger.)

Hope your back will be in good working order real soon.

I used to do that when my husband had a parking space there and we didn't have to hunt for one. Later, the walk became too much for him anyway, so the shuttle buses were perfect us. But that walk over from campus is a nice one.

Shuttle buses are the way to go. Cost is $5.00, unless you wait until game day, then it is $10.00 Fans can park and ride from the Valley River Center (Northwest parking lot), Lane Events Center (North parking lot), Pacific Source (555 International Way, Springfield) or Springfield Station (355 South A St., Springfield) to the stadium. Pacific Source is not far from I-5 You have to purchase shuttle bus tickets in advance, on your phone. https://am.ticketmaster.com/oregonducks/buy/25autzenexpress

The Platypus Trophy keeps disappearing only to turn up again. I'm not a fan of this trophy, so hope that it gets stashed in some closet where no one finds it for a 100 years. 😉

I believe the Oregon fans are encouraged to wear green for the Penn State game. Not sure about what uniforms the Ducks will wear.

Is Justin actually involved with Beer, or was that just a moment's meeting someone caught on camera???

I hope the loop will be restored by the end of August. I was at Autzen about a week ago, and it was a mess then.

Gotta say, I've always found it difficult to celebrate gluttony...😁

This morning Perloff was talking about how the Oregon Ducks lost their game yesterday. Losing is sad, but, hey, just getting to Oklahoma is quite the accomplishment. 😉 Seriously, can't people keep the Oregon teams straight?

I never bet actual money on a game, and really the only time I "bet" was on a now-gone sports message board where we were "given" $5,000 to bet and winner, of course, was the one who had the most money at the end of the season (college football in this case). I was the top winner two years in a row (even though I had to concentrate on how to word the bet so that it was what I was trying to bet), mostly because 1) I didn't bet much money and 2) luck. An example of luck was to bet on UConn beating the 44-point spread in a game against Alabama, and UConn losing by only 43 points. 🙂

❤️❤️❤️ Loved The Rifleman!

That's a big IF!

Just because higher rankings before the season for the sec means that each win within the conference means higher rankings overall, and each loss with in the conference isn't "so bad" because, well, it was to a highly-ranked team, doesn't really affect anything, right? 🤪
