Ducks fans are insane
Scream the whole game


I am guessing that you have not been to a lot of large university football games. People are insane.

I was supposed to go to a Ducks game in Eugene last year but Covid prevented that. I really enjoy going to large universities to walk the campus and see the culture. My favorite campus by far has been Princeton.

Its worse at a Ducks game
They have a national reputation for being the loudest stadium in the country
Signs around the stadium encouraging screaming
3rd down plays they show the scream meter on the video board
To live up to those expectations, everybody screams
They also say the stadium design helps increase the sound
Its called the Autzen bounce

Ducks are overrated
Despite the score, was not impressed
Depend on big plays
Offense sputtered without the big play
Defense leaky depending on interceptions
I see some great athletes making some great plays but not a great team

Can't get used to not filling up my car at a gas station
With the labor shortage
Was at one gas station where cashier in store can only fill gas when store empty. Had signs on gas pumps to be patient. Illegal for me to fill the tank.
Just seems weird
I like doing little stuff myself

Aren't you expected to tip when they do pump your gas. When I went to NJ, had to fill up my tank once before I left. Can't remember if I tipped the guy or not.
