This year I plan to spend more time at Oregon Duck games. This Saturday was great fun, especially as Oregon beat the team with the longest winning streak in college football.
A few notes from sitting in the press box along side Brian Prawitz:
Time it takes from our seats in the pressbox (front row I might add!), to food and drink - 10 seconds
Time it takes from the average fan seat to food and drink - 10 minutes
Chance of getting wet from our seats - almost none, but watch that wind with stat sheets.
Chance of getting wet from fan seats - officially none (it never rains at Autzen....) but...on Saturday there was some liquid something coming down for awhile.
Number of times Brian got up to get more Pepsi - 9 (btw the wind took Brian's Pepsi and spilled it with 8:51 left in the 2nd)
Number of times Brian got up to go to the restroom - uh never mind
Number of times I got up to get lemon bars - 3
I left with 3 minutes on the clock to beat the rush and hit the road to emcee at Melrose Vineyards. Incredibly I got to the truck in time to hear the last play on the radio, then hit the freeway back to the Burg. A really fun day chatting with some media friends from Portland and Eugene as well. The press box is like a weekly class reunion sometimes.
Next Saturday I hope to do it all over again.
