Crowd was excellent, but not full. Legit 6,000.

That was impressive. Really enjoyed watching that. One of my co-workers is a big Oregon fan who was giving me grief the other day about football.

The favor has been returned 10-fold.
It took a scandal to bring us down. Oregon football just sucks in general now.
