Well, actually, he has three jobs: kickoffs, PATs, and field goals. But, yeah.

Hey, as long as Oregon wins, I'm happy.

At one time wasn't the plan to have only 11 regular season games, then conference championships could be Thanksgiving weekend, and playoffs could start the next week?
Or did I dream this.?

True that. A little bird tells me the Midwestern schools on our schedule next year are not going to put up with 7:30 pm (PST) starts. Just guessing.
I think you are right.
Probably the only night-starts will be when we play any of the west coast teams, and I think we play only two per year and one would probably be away. But if the B1G cares about all the conference viewers being able to enjoy all the conference games, then maybe the start times for those games would not be later than 4 or 5 pm.

Autzen under the lights can be magical.
Ah, yes, but the game could start at 5:00 pm and the game would still be under the lights.

One quick thing to do is drive up to the top of Skinner Butte and get a nice view of the city.
For Duck gear, there are Ducks Stores at Valley River Center, at the bookstore on campus (13th and Kincaid), and next to Autzen. I think on game day gear is sold inside the stadium in the concourse area too.
Enjoy your visit!

Welcoming all Ideas on great eating places, etc. in town? ...
So many different types of great eating places, from the elegant Gordon Tavern to pub grubs such as Quackers and The Bier Stein.
I'm sure others here will have good suggestions!

Looking forward to the gathering!
My family and I will be arriving into Eugene on Friday from back East. Excited being able to attend the game and surrounding festivities. Does anyone knows what time tailgating starts on Saturday since it's a night time game?
Welcoming all Ideas on great eating places, etc. in town? Again, looking forward to meeting all, being able to chat about our love of everything Duck!
The Autzen parking lot opens six hours before game time, so this week that would be 1:30 pm.

I'll renew my season tickets, but I actually think of 8 home games as bit daunting. I usually lack energy the day after a game.

Oh Annie, something tells me if the Ducks are having success against the Trojans you won't be able to pull your eyes away. And if (Heaven forbid) the game is close (which I fear it will be) you won't want to miss the outcome. Sleep-in Saturday morning and grind some good coffee. Every game Oregon plays from here on out is a big step on the road to a Championship.
Oh, I am going to the USC game! Been planning to all year, even though back in September I suspected it would be a night game. If the Cal game had been a 7:30 start, I most likely would have stayed home for that one.
Thankfully, the USC game is the only home game starting so late. And I probably wasn't clear that I will watch away night Duck games all the way to the end, but not any non-Duck night games. Of course, in the case of away Duck night games I can be all ready for bed before the game even starts, and it's just a 20-second walk to the bedroom afterwards.

5:30 is the most ideal time for me, but a 7:30 game and then hitting the sack soon afterwards is great as well. 8pm is primetime TV on the West coast. Now, if you're going to game in person I can see some complaints...
...
We're all different. I'm morning person and hate late start times. At home, the only games I will stay up for past 9:30 to watch are Duck away games. Otherwise, I'll watch the first quarter or maybe first half of other games, and that goes late enough for me.

I have xfinity for internet and it includes Peacock (ad free) for free for at least a year.
When I first got xfinity I also had Peacock free for year, but didn't keep it once I would have had to pay.

This is what absolutely sucks EVERY SINGLE YEAR. SEC will begin taking over the polls because they are playing Directional State late in the year while half of the Pac-12 is adding another conference loss. ...
And yet if other (ie: PAC) conference teams play Directional-State-type schools they get dinged for their lack of strength of schedule...

I was worried this would be a night game--I hate night games.
Getting home at midnight is not fun (and I know I'm luckier than those who live two hours away and don't get home until 2 am).

I'm on Comcast, but if I try to go to Peacock a message comes up asking who the account holder is (and I've been assuming they mean an account with Peacock).

6. Friday Night, Labor Day Weekend, and Black Friday -
When Fox came up with the (discounted) money for OREGON and UW, the B1G in turn agreed to at least 9 Friday night games every season beginning in 2024. It has yet to be determined which games will be moved from Saturday to Friday night.
Labor Day Weekend - In addition to the Saturday slate on Labor Day weekend, a game will be played on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Also with the teams TBD. The Sunday night game will be broadcast on NBC in prime time.
In addition to the Iowa vs. Nebraska game on Black Friday, played on this date for the last 11 seasons, another game TBD will be played on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Thus, the final 2024 opponents are determined but the dates of the games are fluid.
And I thought we'd be getting away from night games! And never even thought about Thursday, Friday or Sunday on Labor Day Weekend.

Am I counting correctly? Eight home games?

The Ducks are favored -24.5 currently over Cal. This seems too high for a Justin Wilcox team but given the way the Ducks handled Utah, Odds Shark might be right on this. (Sure glad I don't bet large sums of $ on these things). Over the last 10 games the average pt. margin has been ~15 pts, with 2 Oregon losses.
....
That spread surprises me a bit too, simply because I figure it's not easy to beat anyone by that much. With a forecast for rain on Saturday, it will be interesting to see if that will make a difference for either team.

ESPN froze, at least at my house, so I miss the final picks! What happened? And did Corso show for the final pick?

Nick A is second from the left, standing. The picture was taken at a luncheon on the Friday before the game.
OT--Am I the Only One Who Did Not Know There are Free French Fries at Autzen?
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
Just FYI, next to the Moshofsky Center there is a booth where they give away McDonald's French Fries. The line can be long, but moves quickly, because no time is needed to pay for the fries.
It was my daughter and SIL who pointed this out to me.
