... Will OBD ever find a clutch you don't have to pucker up when he walks on the field, FG kicker?

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.

Looks like ESPN is bringing Sabrina back to be guest picker. Gotta love that!

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

I don't care who we get as a guest picker for GameDay but can "we" please, the love all things Ducky, get every fan in Autzen to wear yellow??! It was awesome to see all of PSU fans, some Ducks, in white! I don't care if you "don't look good in yellow," it would be really nice to see some unity!

The only game I remember, ever, where every fan wore the same color was "Fright Night" against USC (black is not a color). That was, still, the loudest game I have ever attended at Autzen. Side note: Beaver Stadium was loud but not even close to Autzen's second loudest game, the *uckeyes!

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.

I think 12:30 is absolutely the best time for a college football game. I think we have hit the jackpot so far this year

Me too!

It's a long way to the finish line, but if the PO committee's final ranking on 12/7/25 mirrored the AP Poll, OBD's reward for finishing 2nd would be a 2nd round matchup vs. the winner of No. 11 Texas Tech at No. 6 Texas A&M in the COTTON BOWL in Dallas, Texas 🙃.

Compare this with Miami playing the winner of No. 10 Alabama at No. 7 Penn State in the Orange Bowl in Miami. 🤬

For as long as this so-called 'Playoff' incorporates the 'NY6 Bowls,' a lower seeded team(s) will have more favorable 2nd round sites than one or more top-seeded opponents.

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. 😊

We were at a large wedding reception during the entire game. I was sneaking peeks on my phone, but caught the 2nd OT on the TV in the bar.

OH MY GOODNESS. UNBELIEVABLE! AN INSTANT CLASSIC.

Can't wait to watch the entire game tonight.

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 prefer to park on/near campus and follow the crowd over the bridge and through the woods to Autzen stadium. It’s a bit of a walk, so it’s not for everyone.

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.

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???

No photos, but it is my understanding the Leo Harris Parkway loop from Martin Luther King Blvd is supposed to be restored by the end of August. That alone was a big project. At least that was the goal.

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?
