GAME #5: DUCKS BY THREE...IN OVERTIME

WASHINGTON @ OREGON

10.13.18

WASHINGTON - 27

OREGON - 30 [OT]

THE SECOND OF TWO MANDATORY GAMES FOR 2018 - OREGON. BEAUTIFUL TOWN, BEAUTIFUL STADIUM, WOKEN UP BY AN ADOLESCENT COW YELLING OUTSIDE OUR AIRBNB AFTER HE ESCAPED HIS PEN AT 3AM. WE STAYED ABOUT A HALF HOUR OUTSIDE OF EUGENE ON A SMALL FARM, WHICH I ACTUALLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

THE GAME EXPERIENCE WAS PRETTY AWESOME. YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO WALK THE BRIDGE FROM CAMPUS TO THE STADIUM. THEY OPEN THE PRACTICE FACILITY TO THE PUBLIC AND THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF FOOD AND ACTIVITY OPTIONS IN THERE. THAT WAS PRETTY COOL TO SEE.

THE GAME WAS GREAT. FANS WERE VERY INTO IT THE WHOLE TIME. THE ENDING WAS PRETTY CRAZY AND IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE THE HOME TEAM BEAT A HIGHLY RANKED TEAM IN OVERTIME. STADIUM WENT NUTS.

GAME TIP: EVERY TUNNEL WAS LOG-JAMMED WITH PEOPLE AT HALFTIME. DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT WE ENDED UP SMASHED AGAINST STRANGERS TRYING TO GET TO THE CONCOURSE. NOT A FUN EXPERIENCE. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT!

TRAVEL TIP: LODGING WASN'T TERRIBLE TO COME BY, I JUST WENT WITH SOMETHING LESS EXPENSIVE THAT HAPPENED TO HAVE A LIVE COW AS A WAKE UP CALL. QUAINT LITTLE TOWN. REMINDS ME A LOT OF AUBURN. QUITE ENJOYED THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE IN EUGENE.

WHAT TO EAT: WE ONLY WENT TO ONE DECENT PLACE CALLED THE DAVIS. IT WAS GREAT! OREGON HAS KILLER FOOD, SO YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED IN THAT DEPARTMENT.
