He's been getting banged up. Had to leave the last game and go to the locker room. he came back out and played and got thumped and that might have knocked him out for the next game. not sure about the specific injury but looked like something withhis leg.
That tends to happen when you have a MWC sized stadium like Oregon.
Husky Stadium seats over 72,000 capacity and is 3rd in the conference year after year in attendance behind USC and UCLA.
You can't even sell out your stadium
It says in your post that Oregon is 4th in attendance and Washington is 3rd. Thanks for playing.
No one is debating the size. Washington is a much bigger University in a major city. I would think you would be pissed you can't sell it out.It says in your post that Oregon is 4th in attendance and Washington is 3rd. Thanks for playing.
Phil dropped a bundle on Oregon football but so did Washington boosters not to mention Oregon has a MWC sized stadium located in an I-5 pit stop with a micro sized media market. Oregon also pays its coaching staff little to nothing compared to Washington. Coach Petersen is the 2nd highest paid coach in the conference next to David Shaw. Don Pellum the former Oregon DC was paid a whopping $400,000 as Oregon's DC last season. That's peanuts.
I'd be pissed if Washington had a MWC sized stadium built on top of a former public landfill such as Autzen.
So when our program is down and not selling out they still average 4k/game more than yours with a sell out and you question it?
College football roundtable: Best stadium

That's not helping you man. It's really not.
As I said earlier today in this very thread they have talked about this in the Seattle Times and the attendance is entirely related to the change they made in ticket pricing and how fans can now just flex into single games instead of being forced into season tickets. The school kind of fucked things up.
There is zero doubt UW has the greatest setting in the Pac and no other is even close. The sound when full is louder than any in the conference. The only reason a few ever picked Oregon's over ours is because of your program having been at the top at that time. Neuheisel has said as much and so have others. ALL of them have said a full husky stadium blows everyone else away. And we saw/heard that in the Stanford game. I'd imagine the rest of the year will be more of the same.
Yours RIGHT NOW won't sell out again this year. The roles have reversed. Yours has probably then fallen to at least middle of the Pac at best.
The school is careful to call it "The greatest setting in college football" Nowhere does that imply the largest. It is simply about the view and overall setting.
