Bobcats Made Fantastic Decision re Oregon
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 7:05 am
Oregon had 50 points on (FBS) Arkansas State with over 7 minutes remaining in the 2nd quarter! The Ducks were substituting freely playing their 2's and 3's at will for the rest of the game. I joked to my duck fan cousin that finally a team figured out how to quiet the crowd in Eugene, just get behind by 7 touchdowns and the other team's fans will be on their smart phones checking other game scores.
Now to the point, Montana State was originally scheduled to play Oregon but both teams opted out of the agreement. So Oregon gets a bigger blowout against a , ahem, FBS team, and Montana State gets a home game, a win and avoids the pain of playing at Oregon against the monster Ducks. Bonus for MSU: The Bobcats played it's home opener in front of a record crowd and most assuredly made more money than they would have made for a Duck game. Somebody in the MSU athletic department is making some great decisions.
