SEC insights from the outside by a Duck

Guess. I'll give you a hint . . . LSU 56-Oregon 17.

That would be 1977. Only two teams gave up MORE points to Oregon that year. The Ducks went 2-9 or make it 3-8 after UCLA had to forfeit. About any team in the country could have been 15 minutes late for kickoff and still run away from that Duck team. That's back in the very very dark days of Duck football when PAC-8 teams were trying to kick Oregon out for not being competitive.


All teams outside the Confederacy are yankee teams. We recognize a difference between East Yankees and West Yankees. Basically West Yankees drive pickups and own guns and dress like like southerners, but they don't watch NASCAR and don't know Hoddy-Toddy from Sooeeey Pig.

LOL, love it. Still laughing. I really don't care if you call me a Yankee or not, it's just funny how provincial your discription is. And no I'm not a NASCAR fan. Since you think it's what defines a southerner, I'll not tell you what I think of NASCAR. All I'll say is I use to race dirt track when I was young.

Actually, based on the most traditional use of the term "yankee" by southerners, you would be correct to call Oregonians "Yankees" but not Californians or people from Washington. Oregon joined the United States in 1849 and was on the Union side during the civil war.

Think about it for a minute, college boy.

I still don't think you get it sonny. 45% is just 45%.

If you show up wearing lace underwear, you will be laughed out of the stadium

Listen you make a comical statement you're going to get as much respect as you give. Nuff said.

 

As a Duck I've gotten use to the various uniforms, and enjoy seeing what they are doing each year. It's become sort of "cool".

 

but, do they have something indoors that simulates the sun beating down on you?

 

You still make no sense. I understand you meant 45 degrees as in latitude. Matter of fact the 45 degree marker is just north of Salem Oregon. It's posted along the interstate. Still that has nothing to do with this conversation from what I can tell. Perhaps you can explain why it's relevant.

 

I'll have to say nope to that. Of course since the game is being played at 8 PM Eastern, I'm not too worrried about the sun beating down on anyone Tiger or Duck. Plus average temps in Dallas are usually in the high 80s with around 65% humidity. So it should just be nice football weather that evening.

 

i've been at a rangers game at 10pm. the temp was 100...humidity? don't know, but it's not at 65%. it was pretty cool.

 

I just looked up the average high temp and average humidity for Dallas TX and that's the numbers I got. That stadium is pretty well enclosed so the field should be in the shade by game time. I think game time works out to 7 pm local. So it should be pretty nice at kickoff.

 

Ok....... So What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Yes Oregon has plenty of large mountains, but saying Oregon is "largely mountainous" is not true. Just so you know, Baton Rouge is about 50 feet elevation and Eugene OR is about 450 feet. Basically a small hill higher than Baton Rouge.

Finally, straight latitudinal lines in determining weather just don't work. Example: Something called the Japanese Current keeps the NW relatively mild during the winters. Denver is 6 degrees further south and gets 61 inches of snow a year while Portland gets about 5 inches. Heck, Dallas gets 2.5 a year and it's just 2 degrees north of Baton Rouge. Fort Smith gets about the same amount of snow as Portland.

The cold weather comes down on the East side of the mountains. Most of the population in Oregon live on the West side at low elevations. Sure I can look out my windows this morning and see at least three snow capped mountains. And they are beautiful! But you don't live in the snow, you drive to it when you want to play in it. It's a play ground that's available by choice.
