Ducks go old-school in new arena
The seating design of the University of Oregon's new basketball arena will not take its final shape for about a month, but one thing is clear: It won't have luxury suites. That plan diverges from nearly all other college arena designs in recent years, and could mean Oregon is giving up a large potential revenue source for the $200 million arena. But project leaders want to recapture the tightly packed, vertical feeling at McArthur Court and believe they can make more money on club and loge seating than they could on suites, said Jim Bartko, an Oregon senior associate athletic director.

Phil Knight really has nothing else better to do, but to pour money into the University of Oregon athletics program, huh?
That man needs a hobby, or some girls in his life.

Funny, guys.
PebbleBeachNative got a point about their jerseys. The only nice looking one is the white on white with the white helmets. That's the only good combination they have.

xxx84xxx, when are the Buckeyes gonna play a real schedule, not a bunch of Big Ten cream puffs and two 1AA teams? They don't deserve to be in the championship game this year, either.
