I agree about buying tickets. The seats in front of us haven't been the same people all season. I believe it is about 8-10 seats.

Same here. Section 126. The two rows behind us and the row in front of us haven’t been the same yet this season (or last).

Funny moment for me. I glanced away from screen for a few seconds. I look back & think Oregon has 4 wide receivers against our 2 db's & I'm yelling at the screen. Cover em cover em. Then the play starts & I realized 2 of em were linement. LOL. Sometimes rational thought leaves the body when in the midst of battle.

Do you watch or go to the basketball games? They are constantly on their phones.

I was laughing that the post game show hosts were saying the students are going to show up for the Neb game on a Friday night. It will depend on the weather. Cold game and they won't show up. Or if they do, they will leave early to go to the bars. It's sad because the games have been fun and the team can use their help with noise in that end zone.

I know people are calling for the students to be put on the 50 yard line behind the opponent bench, but if they don't come or if they leave early, why waste great seats? If they have to be in the east main, put them in the sections they are already in and the balcony above. Do all B10 schools have this issue?

As far as the sales to Oregon fans, when you let people buy 10 seats for their season ticket allocation, what do you expect? We haven't had the same people in front of us all year. Different people every game.

Agree on all points. Basketball threads are full every week in-season with complaints about phones and Krush indifference, putting students in a prime section only to have that section empty after halftime is not a good situation.

As to scalpers, I don't really see the problem. Please don't ask what I paid a couple years ago to attend a game in Welsh-Ryan, was the NW owner of those seats a backstabbing traitor? Same for a game in Kohl before that, I love going to road wins and by the same token love watching other fans come into Champaign and get upset. Games don't always work out that way of course, but it's great fun when they do.

1) The re-sale market for the Oregon game was poor, mostly all of them going below face value.

2) The fans were wearing GREEN and YELLOW. It was much harder to identify SIU-C or Purdue fans from across the stadium.

3) They have a national brand similar to Cowboys or Yankees "fans". Many of them were likely somewhat local to the Midwest, and not from the state of Oregon.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but I was rewatching the game highlights and didn't realize that Hudson Clement was literally open on this TD play by like 15 yards in every direction.

The announcers did mention two receivers being wide open. It was a very good play design, and one that is made possible with an effective run game.

Yeah I just assumed live there was a CB off screen but rewarching it there isn't a Oregon player anywhere near Clement.

Agree. Had the chance to sit w/the recruits on Sat so I tried to sell my season tix below face and they went unsold. Fair amount of Ducks fans there. I chalk it up to opportunity for a legacy PAC10 fan base to visit a place they hadn't played since 93. And they probably booked their travel when they were preseason #1. Plus Champaign on a beautiful fall Saturday is pretty awesome.

Also, 20M roster > 50+M roster. Coaching matters. I L L
