Short Summary

From a Eugene native and lifelong Ducks fan, thanks for the love Josh.
Us that live in the PNW, we know when its football season without looking at a calendar. Leaves are turning, evenings getting shorter, mornings and evenings have a crisp to them. Being at a game, the air may be chilly, but the atmosphere is not, you can't beat it. P.S. It never rains at Autzen Stadium. GO DUCKS.
Special team's made a difference forsure. USC kickoff was out of bounds, Benson's PR TD was a direct kick that didn't give time for USC to get down field, and the USC penalty that gave Oregon the first down when they missed the FG
The first time I saw Oregon play USC it was a downpour and Oregon won 10-7. O.J. Simpson was the USC Tailback.
JP, it was nice to meet you at the game … I was the guy sitting above you in the corner of the end zone who said “Love the show” and “How popular you are in Eugene”… Keep up the great work ..
JP I was the kid who’s yellow O sign you autographed. I watch all of the videos and you have such good perspective in your videos. Keep up the great work and keep growing! I’m subbed on all 3 of my accounts btw 🙂
Eugene Native, super cool having ya here!
JP your perspective is always refreshing. I appreciate the 30k ft. view. taking into other aspects of a progrum not just X's and O's
Glad you and your team came by. Being in the B1G does some silverlining that CFB now takes us a lot more seriously.
My son was at your talk on Friday at UO. He really enjoyed it. Thanks for coming out west.
