Fantastic column Tyson! You keep bringing it, you might have to change your last name to Hearst! Uhhh, that comment just might put me officially into old guy status, forever more unable to relate to the young and impervious, my witticisms and dad jokes terminally ostracized to the “cringe” label. I have for the most part stayed on the outermost fringes of social media, and have tweeted or X’d on X. Wait…Let me clarify! No X’ing on X, but frequenting underground raves in the Gas Lamp Quarter while an undergrad at the University of San Diego? Had to. I roomed with a young boyo from Derry, Ireland. Indoctrination was inevitable, he was quite adamant on that, ye ken? All that being said, I think the Corridor Discord server is a superb idea; I’ll be frequenting quite often. Thanks once again for persevering through the murky landscape of the calamitous upheaval of the publishing world and keeping the Northwest Sports News lamp on for us! I entered into young adulthood reading your early forays into sports reporting, and am now fully realizing the special relationship a reader can have with a sports journalist that stretches over multiple decades. I for one feel grateful to have been a faithful reader through the various machinations and publishing entities of your career, and look forward to your meanderings through the sports landscape for many more! Cheers!!
I'm not a social media guy at all, so your idea might be a good one, but I'm not your audience.
Tailgating and road tripping for games, however, is a fastball right down the middle for me (30 years ago me.... not current me!).
Gotta come into Eugene at least one day before, if not two. If you like to run or even walk, gotta do Pre's Trail, which will take you right to Autzen.. so you can check it out. Track Town Pizza, Renees Landing also worth it. If coming to town before mid October and want to get your golf on, scoot an hour East to Tokatee for a little helping of the Oregon the way it ought to be served. I'm not your guy for fine dining in Eugene (I live in San Diego and only make it up for a game or two a year), but I grew up there and all the aforementioned are pretty solid. In terms of tailgating itself, we always just wonder. If the weather is shitty you can always go into the MO, but their isn't as much true tailgating as there was back in the day. Just get into the parking lot, bring som beers and make new friends. We post up on the South side of the stadium down by the Mill Race, but... just get there early and enjoy Fall in Eugene, where the fans LOVE their team, sometimes too much, but for the most part are extremely friendly and willing to share a beer and a few laughs with visitors (other than Huskies).
As to #24…. if your prediction comes true I will be first in line pre-ordering said book!
Great article, as always.
