Interesting take. The weather conditions may have affected the play, but I didn't think the energy was sucked out of Autzen Stadium, due to unis, weather, or otherwise. People were loud and enthusiastic.

Judging from the intense expression on the face of Lanning during and after the game, I'd guess he will see to it that the Ducks keep up their intensity.

I thought Novosad was injured.

She does, and eventually (with Rhett's money) restores it to its pre-war condition.

Autzen could be even louder, if EVERYONE would make noise. I don't know about other sections. But in 35, which is loud, I see a good number of people who do not yell, cheer, clap (except after a touchdown), and I imagine how loud it could be if all of them made some noise when the Ducks are on defense.

For some reason this does not surprise me. If he likes it there (and I would assume he does) why leave for somewhere else? Showing that he can get the job done at Indiana (again, assuming he does continue to do so), he doesn't need to prove anything by going somewhere else.

Hoping the Ducks will soon sign Gus the Mule (or his equivalent)!

Forgot to wear my lucky necklace. Cost us the game. :'(

With all this, will I still be able to watch away games on the channels I already get? That's what I care about!

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. 😉
