Farmer gives UF visit 7 out of 10.

[karlhungis]

Just talked about the visit mostly. Said he's never seen an gameday atmosphere like that before.

Well, his eyes were closed at Autzen.

While Autzen is as loud as any stadium in the country, I'd give the game day atmosphere nod to the Ohio States, Floridas, LSU's, etc; Due to the sheer size of the stadiums. There's a little bit of difference between gazing upon a stadium that seats 60,000, and one that seats 90,000-100,000. That's one of the reasons I hope Autzen continues to be expanded upon.

More fans doesn't necessarily make the atmosphere better.

They do in Farmer's opinion.

Although I haven't been to an SEC stadium, I have to disagree. I've heard many recruits go to Oregon and say that's the craziest atmosphere they've ever seen (even guys who have been to big time SEC stadiums).

The main reason I think Farmer made that comment about Florida was because, the game was probably more interesting than the game with Oregon. Also, he was extremely tired when he came to Oregon, and fell asleep during the game. If he had sufficient sleep and came to Oregon when we were playing a half decent team, I guarantee he'd be saying amazing things about Autzen.

I've been to a lot of stadiums across the country and if you're not a fan of any particular team that you're watching then the sheer size of those 100,000+ stadiums is quite impressive. Being at an Oregon game in a tight contest or a game where the fans are going crazy is fun indeed. However, how many of the recruits are at those games. There are just as many or more that come to games where Oregon is blowing out the competition and the fans aren't quite as in to it - maybe even taking a long halftime break.

[Duck07]

Autzen is a special place, but part of what makes it special is that it packs so much into so little. However, places like the Big House that are just monsters in size are totally different. watching a blowout of the poodles is a little different than the gators playing the ole ball coach at the Swamp. In that regard, yes, I don't doubt at all the atmosphere was more intense.

[Tray Dub]

I don't think we really need to compare. Our lack of size makes our atmosphere very different, but it's still a lot of fun and very very loud. I'm sure The Swamp and the Big House are amazing for big games, but so is Autzen. Just in a different way.

[duckfan96]

Went to the Tennessee Oregon game. The stadium is huge. That being said I would take Autzen over it. Maybe when UT was really good that place was loud, but it never got loud when they played Oregon. Not really really loud. The fans were nice, well most of em. And they reminded me of UW fans, as soon as Oregon started rolling they fled. At the end of the game there were 3 times the Oregon fans as UT fans in the stadium(or so it seemed to me). If the sheer size of a crowd determines where a kid wants to go, Oregon will lose that.

Well, USC just had the lousiest offensive game I've seen them play all year. That can't hurt the Ducks' chances.

recruits rarely, if ever, compare the next 4 years of their lives to just one game. i doubt that OSU game has any impact on recruits.

Like I said, it can't hurt the chances, Negative Nancy.

Just curious, have you ever been to a game at Autzen?

There is an "interesting article on the trio" being discussed on talefeathers. Anyone know what's up?

Maybe something like what buckmarkduck was saying about Lee possibly not being recruited anymore.
