I’d be shocked if the arena is even at half capacity for a break game.

I care about such things in general, but not from that hack.
Hopefully, I am able to stay awake.

What, you don’t have any credibility in a guy who might as well have chimps throwing darts at a wall for him since it would be more accurate?
I think that you should prepared to be shocked then.
They’ve averaged 6,000 for the year and had 8,000 for UCLA. Why would a game when students aren’t in session be any different? Not criticizing, just genuinely curious.

I suspect the hangover of dreariness will be thick. Imagine trying to pump yourself up after Illinois lost the title game in 05. I didn’t want see anyone or do anything for several days after that. This was Oregon’s year and they’ll be thinking “if not this year, when???”

Funny you bring that analogy up, because that's kind of how I felt after the 2005 national championship game in St. Louis. Little did I know how bad it would get over the next 10-14 years or so . . .

Hope you had the extra time to drive the 101 instead of I-5

... although maybe not this time of year
Central here, but glad I work from home on Fridays that's for sure.
Eastern time for me. Being retired helps. Will they have the post game radio after the game.

Do we usually wear the game uniforms that are in the pregame social media posts? If that's the case, then I really want to see Oregon wear their neon yellow uniforms. I'm going to need everything possible to stay up for this one after waking up at 3:30 to get my wife and son to the airport today, so a neon yellow/bright orange color combination making my eyes bleed may actually help me in the quest to stay awake for the entire game.
The arena will not be half full. THey are a top ten program. THis will be a tough game to win but we have a chance. Someone said this is a MUST win. I don't agree. Still, if we are looking to get a top 3-4 seed we are going to have to start winning these type of games. I would say that we do need to split this road trip for sure. That being said, a win tonight would be huge. We will see soon enough.

ahh, class of 1917. Now those were the days they played real basketball. Is it just me or do those two ballers sitting on the floor in front appear to be more than teammates? George Halas doesn’t look amused.
