Off topic, but since I saw your name, it reminded me of something. How do you feel about all the talk about moving the Apple Cup to Qwest? I have no allegiance to either school, but I really don't want them to move the game to Seattle. That's a big f/u to all the business' in Pullman and the surrounding areas, the students and season ticket holders. I know it's all about the money, but the game in Seattle every year? Just about 5 miles from Husky Stadium? How about just having the APple Cup at Qwest every other year when the Huskies are the home team?
Back on topic. I am interested to see how the Ducks will do post Belotti and under the new regime of Chip Kelly. Ducks are once again stacked at the QB position and it's not a shoo-in that Masoli will be #1. Not with Nate Costa coming back from being out last year.
It pretty much needs to stay the way it is. I don't think the ADs are considering the fans, student-athletes, tradition, etc. Yes, 2 million per year at Qwest Field can help WSU a lot but it shouldn't always be about the money but oh well.
Alabama had their spring game on ESPN yesterday and they had over 80,000 fans in the stands!! wow!
