I happen to enjoy the 10-30 seconds of Taylor Swift at Chiefs games.' Is it really all that different from showing Jack Nicholson or Spike Lee on the sidelines at basketball games?
And I think it's way better than the days when the cameras would linger on some anonymous girl at a football game in a tight sweater while Brent Musburger verbally drooled over her. Now that was yucky!

Just wondering. What happens to the Eugene Science Center and their parking? Where will shuttle buses for football drop off and pick up?

Ordinarily, my mother was not especially interested in football, except for Iowa games. However, she graduated from the nursing school there, had attended some games as a student, and so she cheered for Iowa during football season.

I want Baltimore... ONLY because I do not want the cameras flashing to the box seats during the Super Bowl to show Miss Swift and Mrs. Mahone's faces every thirty seconds. Worst thing that ever happened to football.
Aw, I like seeing Taylor in the box seats at Chief's games.

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have been all over the country this month recruiting the next great wave of high school talent.
One of their latest offers earlier this month went out to 2025 Matthews (NC) Weddington defensive lineman Trajen Odom, who has been visited twice by the coaching staff.
He spoke with Ducks Digest about the offer and the latest in his recruitment
For Odom, Oregon has been one of the schools he's always hoped would come calling.
"Oregon's actually been one of the schools I really liked growing up," he said. "As a kid it was more because of the brand and the uniforms, but as I got older, I've actually started to understand Oregon more and watched the games.
They've been a great team. So I was just really excited and just happy. It's a team I've just been waiting to hear from and they finally came around."
The 6-foot-5, 272-pound defensive lineman got to spend extensive time with head coach Dan Lanning when he and defensive backs coach Chris Hampton came to see him...

It will be interesting to see where CO ranks if things cool down there and/or Sanders leaves.

I like to stand. It's really hard on my back and hips to sit on the bench seating for 3+ hours. And as a larger person (6'4"), there is often not enough leg room to sit comfortably and I have to fight for hip space when I am sitting. If there is a stadium seat in front of me, forget about it. Sitting is no longer a reasonable option.
...
It's the opposite for me--my back hurts after standing for a while. My late husband had ataxia in his legs and couldn't stand for more than about 30 seconds at a time. He could walk, slowly, but standing was much more difficult. Different problems for different folks.
-
I don't understand people who stand all the time. They can't see any better, and they block the people behind them. And from my experience, those people just stand, like fence posts, not cheering on third or fourth downs.
Maybe there should be a section for people who want to stand for the whole game, and that would be the only place they'd be allowed to do that.

When games are on Peacock, I'll probably revert to the olden days and listen to the radio, unless/until my daughter and SIL move to Eugene and I watch with them.
Or I suppose I could go to a pub/restaurant and order 87 diet colas to keep a seat throughout the game.

An upgrade on the north side is inevitable. Concessions, and restrooms on that side are terrible and in need of a remodel.
I'm on the south side, so concessions and bathrooms are much improved from before the remodel. I would like hot water in the restrooms, though I guess that's too much to ask. Also, there used to be speakers in the restroom so you wouldn't miss any of the game, but that is gone. And while once in a while there seems to be heat in the restroom, it's not too often.

Did anyone get/do the survey? It had questions about seating, such as how much you'd be willing to pay per ticket (not sure if they meant a single-game ticket or season ticket) for upgrades being anything from wider seats with cup holders to private patios with tables with umbrellas, and price increases anywhere from $250 to $3,000 per ticket? Boy, I'm hoping this is for 20 years into the future, so I won't have to think about it.

I thought I had the right package, I guess I'll just have to call them and find out.
Are you in Eugene?
Yes, I'm in Eugene.

I don't know if anybody has heard or not, but it seems like B1G network is not available in Eugene on Xfinity, does anybody know if it's going to become available on cable?
I have Xfinity and I get the B1G Network. (It may have come with the sports package that was included with subscribing to TCM, but I'm not sure.)

Ugh. I hate night games.
If a game starts here at 7:30 pm, it would be starting at 10:30 pm in Michigan, Michigan St. and parts East (Ohio State, Penn St., Rutgers, Maryland...), correct? I would think fans back there would not be happy about that, but who knows.

He attended Michigan State, so I guess in that sense he is going "home."

I think Crepea is okay, I've seen him give us our praise, but I've also seen him not sugarcoat it. That tweet was actually about women's basketball, I just saw the exact tweet that add WBB to it. I doubt he meant the football team.
Well, a bit harsh about the Women's BB, but makes more sense than if he'd been talking about football.

Well, this is as of today, but "according to reports."

I was kind of hoping DeBoer would stay at UW, if only to see him here when the Duck play the huskies next year!

Well Annie usually love your takes but I have to politely disagree.
My wife is the only beaver fan I know that has a semi level head on her shoulders. She was a rally girl at Gladstone High when that school started. Their class chose the colors for the school and they went with black and orange.
Since that dreaded day in history the graduates from that school are predominantly beaver fans, actually I don’t know any that aren’t beaver fans. they are absolutely the worst fans to be around.
Have gone to many beaver games with these people and had to quit because of their hatred for the Ducks. None of them seemed to be able to curb their mouths at any time. Their hatred for the Ducks is Epic.
My wife and I have been together for over 50 years now and we rarely see any of these beavers any more. Very sad for her. But it is what it is. Poor little me is the bitter beaver fan fight song.
Beaver fans are the absolute worst. IMHO. lol
I must admit, I've never been tempted to go up to Corvallis to see a football game up there.

I initially felt this way until their fan base started vacillating between being a victim and being arrogant on an hourly basis. They’re complete hypocrites that try to operate exactly the same way we do, but fail at it over and over and refer to us as “Whore-gon”.
Nope, no empathy.
I understand what you mean.
However, I do like to think that not all beaver fans are like that. After all, we hear from only those that go online to act that way. Not excusing the ones who do act that way, though.

ESPN, Warner Bros and Fox are Teaming up for Sports Streaming
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
I watch football and March Madness, and some golf. That's it for sports. Otherwise, I like to watch news (local and national), movies, PBS, HGTV, reruns of The Big Bang Theory and such. So, to me, $50 a month for sports is a lot of $$$.
