[Fez Hammersticks]

Quite possibly the best of its kind on the entire planet.

I think the World Olympic trials will be held now in Eugene for a long time to come

it might not be how I remembered them before today. But it's for damn sure how I'll remember them from now on

Just moved from Eugene/Springfield, and i surely will miss the vibrance, and beauty of the Oregon Campus. The architects got Hayward Field right. I had the pleasure, as a rideshare driver and architecture fan, to ferry the engineer in charge of structural steel, and the skin that covers the stadium to the site. Many a construction worker too. Seeing it go from foundation to complete was awesome. It really flashes at night with the different color schemes lit up. And all the international flags to the south make it truly, a cathedral to track and field. Bravo!

They should use that same concept (wrap around cover) when they improve Autzen.

 

[tlongII]

Meh. It's a Duck thing.

 

[THE HCP]

Meh. It's a Duck thing.

No, it’s an Oregon thing.

 

[tlongII]

No, it’s an Oregon thing.

As in University of Oregon.

 

[Hoopguru]

Its cool to root for the Ducks mens T&F teams, I don't believe the beavers have one?

[tlongII]

I will never root for the Ducks. Never.

 

[THE HCP]

As in University of Oregon.

Nah, the state. This really puts the STATE on the international map for track and field.

 

[THE HCP]

I will never root for the Ducks. Never.

That is sad. Every Beaver fan I know has this mentality. I root for the Beavs every game in every sport unless they are playing my Ducks.

Yeah, you've never had the misfortune of dealing with the bandwagon Duck fans who like to talk all kinds of shit thanks to Phil Knight's money. Longtime Duck fans know that they were in the same resource and success boat as us until the late 90s, but the ones that haven't jumped on sense can get bent. I hope every one of their teams loses every game they ever play. My second favorite team in every collegiate sport is whoever is playing Oregon that day.

Not since the 80s due to budget cuts (at the time, Oregon cut baseball for the same reason).

 

[PDXFonz]

Go Beavs!

Word

Tis a beautiful stadium though…

So when the Ducks play USC you'd root against them?
For me I'll root for Ducks, Beavs, PSU against any other Pac 12 team.
Then any Pac12 or west coast team against any team for mid west east. Especially in bowl games.
Ive got kids that went to both UO & OSU and grandkids in other west coast colleges.

Every single thread about whatever is happening at UO has to go through the same exact catharsis of hate from the same Beaver fans.
