I assumed it had been sold out for ages, as I haven't seen any tickets available outside of resale. Hoping the price still goes down as we get closer to the game. I'm committed either way, as I have everything booked, but am gambling on lower ticket prices for the game! $225+ for upper deck seems excessive for a regular season game.greenyellow wrote:

It's asinine how expensive football games are, especially ones that require air travel and additional lodging (you basically have to treat them as mini-vacations). Hell, even driving from Portland is going to stretch the wallet thin this year given the high fuel costs.

I never understood this logic. From $2.50-$4/gallon that's $1.50/gallon extra. 100 miles each way, 20 miles/gallon just to be extra cautious. That amounts to 10 gallons of gas, so that changes it from $25 to $40. Don't get me wrong, plenty of things are hitting the pocket books extra hard, but this just isn't one of them.DmoneyDuck wrote:It's asinine how expensive football games are, especially ones that require air travel and additional lodging (you basically have to treat them as mini-vacations).

The only real hurdle to attending Oregon home games is the 7:30 p.m. kickoff slot. Sounds like they're going to become more common as the Pac-10 fights for relevance.

Me and my two brothers were actually going to go to this game but nosebleed seats are $300. I'll watch it on TV...

Re: Georgia vs Oregon (Sept. 3, Sat 12:30 PM ABC)
Is anyone else wondering where they can get $4 gas? I do most of my filling up in North Portland and Vancouver (130 miles or so from Autzen), so I may be missing something, but I did just look up Flying J off I-5 in Aurora - they are getting $4.60/gallon.pudgejeff wrote:I never understood this logic.

Right?! I just filled up at Costco for $4.80 a gallon. Six home games this year ... it adds up (especially when everything is increasing in price).Phalanx wrote:Is anyone else wondering where they can get $4 gas?

Back to the game, I'd like to see an aggressive approach on both sides of the field. You aren't beating the SEC's elite teams playing conservative.

$3.57 here. Of course I live on the GA/FL border, so there's that.

Ha! After I commented here, I happened on the 76 station in Gladstone selling regular for $3.99. The line was spilling into the street, so I gather that is not a common price, but I was on empty in my Expedition, so it saved a few bucks. Just thought I'd pass it along in case there are any other east-siders here.

Re: #3 Georgia vs #11 Oregon (Sept. 3, Sat 12:30 PM ABC)
I'm gonna' go out on a limb here and say that Oregon beats Georgia. I think it'll be a close game, not too high scoring and still be in doubt in the 4th Qtr, but I think the Ducks will win.
We definitely have some gaps to fill, but not like they do. They're missing 8 starters on defense from last year, not to mention Dan Lanning.
Their offense has also taken a major hit, as well. They have 7 starters returning, but they're missing 2 starters from the left side of the O-Line. Like us, they're also replacing their top 2 running backs, and their best receiver transferred to Alabama.
I'm not saying they won't be formidable. Far from it. I just don't see the "blowout" the media keeps referring to. They're still a very good football team, but so is Oregon.
I think it'll be like a 24-17, 20-17, 24-21 type of game in Oregon's favor.
Just my 2 bits.

Thank you for this projection! I don't understand why people think it will be a blowout in Georgia's favor, they lost various players, I've been praying for a while that Oregon wins or gets a close loss that doesn't completely get them outside of the CFP, I've also been thinking Georgia could have a somewhat down season like LSU's in 2020.SuperDuck wrote:I'm gonna' go out on a limb here and say that Oregon beats Georgia.

Clackamas Costco 4.26 as of 3 minutes ago. My CRV only holds 11 gallons but gets ~40MPG on I-5.
