PAYBACK

OREGON VS. AUBURN IN DALLAS

8.31.19

OREGON - 21

AUBURN - 27

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MAKING AUBURN LOSE TO A FAR INFERIOR LSU TEAM TWO YEARS IN A ROW [ROB'S FAULT ENTIRELY]. I KID [KINDA]. ANYWAY, INCREDIBLE GAME, AMAZING WIN FOR OUR TRUE FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK IN HIS FIRST START.

THIS GAME DOESN'T COUNT TOWARD OUR TOUR, BUT IT WAS OUR TEAMS, SO OF COURSE WE WENT. WE ACTUALLY PLANNED THIS YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S PRETTY COOL THAT OUR INAUGURAL TOUR YEAR STARTED WITH OUR TEAMS PLAYING EACH OTHER, AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN EPIC GAME.

THIS STADIUM IS REALLY NICE. FOOD IS FINE. THERE ARE SOME DECENT OPTIONS, BUT IT'S MOSTLY STANDARD STADIUM FOOD. SERVICE PEOPLE THERE ARE REALLY NICE, OR AT LEAST NICER THAN ALL HUMANS IN CALIFORNIA.

GAME TIP: THERE IS A HUGE CONCOURSE ON BOTH ENDS. I'VE BEEN HERE TWICE AND ENDED UP JUST STANDING UP THERE MOST OF THE TIME. BARS & FOOD ARE THERE AND THERE IS A TON OF SPACE ON TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS WITH TABLES AND YOU CAN SEE THE GIANT TVS FROM PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE.

TRAVEL TIP: ARLINGTON IS A WAYS WEST OF DALLAS AND TRAFFIC CAN BE PRETTY BAD. WE HAD A GREAT AIRBNB NEAR THE STADIUM AND THE MAIN ROAD WITH BARS AND RESTAURANTS, THOUGH WE DIDN'T GO TO ANY OF THEM. GOOD DIVE BAR CALLED MILO'S IF YOU LIKE DIVE BARS.

WHAT TO EAT: I HAD NACHOS AT THE GAME. THAT'S ALL I GOT FOR YA.

MAYBE THIS HANGOVER WILL BE GONE BY THE TIME WE DO THIS AGAIN...IN SEVEN WEEKS.

UP NEXT - NC STATE & OREGON STATE!
