Live From Autzen Stadium!

Kyle Bailey and I left the station at about 1:30. I drove after a quick trip to the house and a change of clothes (from the residue of the am tailgate party at the station) and to grab the family laptop.
We hit some traffic at Coburg off of 105, but took the flyover and beat alot of people to the parking (tailgating) lot.
We had to park on the roadway leading to Autzen because those lots were full.
A few minutes into the hike to the press box, Kyle found The Duck and even though Disney hasn't approved it, he (Kyle) insisted on having his picture taken with the mascot (Duck).

A few steps after that picture was taken, we bumped into this outdoor tv studio where people we don't know were talking on a network or a station we couldn't recognize. Hmm. Hope they had a good show...


After a quick ride up the elevator I hit the OSU radio booth.
Dressed in my green and yellow baseball pullover, I gave Ron Callan and the Beaver believers in Portland a piece of my expertice.
I told them all that Oregon will score late and win 45-40.
This morning I predicted a 45-10 win for Oregon, but I chickened out on the air.
So here's a shot of where I'm sitting in the (slowly filling) press box... The windows are closed right now and it's pretty warm in here.

So now we hang out and eat some free food (usually heavy on the protein and carbs, light on the stuff that prevents scurvy.)

I'll be posting to the blog and facebook and twitter during the game, just to see how many people might care what a guy from Roseburg Ore-gone thinks about the Civil War.
