I ran today during the freak thunderstorm. I was circling Autzen and PK Park when it dawned on me that "this is football weather." Can't wait to see what we wear clash with the blue turf. haha

I experienced that too, but I wasn't near Autzen unfortunately. I did drive by though earlier today.

UO football season tickets near record, single games available this weekend Posted by Rachel Bachman, The Oregonian July 13, 2009 17:12PM Categories: Football, Top Stories The national recession has leveled the banking industry, toppled the mightiest mortgage companies and frozen the real-estate market. But it appears the storm will leave Autzen Stadium untouched. Oregon football, it seems, will thrive financially this fall, helping nourish an athletic department whose budget is projected to leap to an all-time high of $65.5 million. About 94 percent of football season-ticket holders renewed for this fall, and the total of 43,240 season tickets sold already ranks third all time at Oregon. It's just two seats shy of the 2007 total and less than 1,000 behind last year's season-ticket record of 44,182.

Cover BoysTuesday, August 11, 7:00 a.m. PT If you subscribe to Sports Illustrated and are an Oregon football fan, you may be happily suprised when the latest issue hits your mailbox. The magazine's annual college football preview features the Ducks among four teams that grace the cover, depending on your geographic location. Oregon juniors Jeremiah Masoli and Jordan Holmes are the cover boys for the western U.S. and will be staring out from news stands and airport gift shops from Seattle to Tempe in August. Acclaimed SI photographer Peter Read Miller visited Eugene in July and shot the duo in the Moshofsky center. The other three teams with quarterback/center duos on regional covers are Oklahoma State, Ole Miss and Penn State. Holmes and Masoli were shot with and without helmets for the SI cover. Peter Read Miller discusses the shoot with UO's junior center. Brian Butterfield can also claim he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Mr. Miller and I were both shooting with Canon cameras. My guess is his final product may be a little sharper. Oregon Football is now on Twitter. Follow HERE.

I just heard the Ducks canned their two cheerleading coaches and have disbanded the program in favor of a more conservative spirit squad. WTF?!? BOOOOOOOOO!!!
