ESPN 'Toughest places to play in the PAC-10'

Post by DucklandicWarrior »

Nothing really new or that we didn't already know (at least for no. 1), but still cool to see...Ted does take a shot at 'obnoxious' Duck fans.

Probably the funniest and most true thing I've ever heard
#2 WSU:"Martin Stadium has that feel that is just not exciting. It's hard for a team to really take a game in Pullman...seriously."

Haven't been to them all. But, I'd put Cal much lower. I couldn't believe how tame it was there when I went 2 years ago.

I'm surprised that WSU is at 2. I also think USC should be in the top 5

I TOTALLY agree, I was there in the 2005 season (not for a Duck game)... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Terrible... after seeing many many games at Autz and a few at Husky stadium I expected a decent crowd... so boring.

I've never been to Cal for a game, but their record is pretty solid to be considered the 3rd toughest place to play in the Pac-10.

I wish we played Idaho State, Bowling Green, San Jose State, etc. at home every week. Oh, wait, then we'd get the Mountain West's 2nd best in a bowl game...never mind.

Yeah. But that could have more to do with the team than the difficulty of the place. I'm just referring to the atmosphere, loudness, etc. Cal is a picnic atmosphere.

If we're including how good the team is, the coliseum would have to be toughest place to play. :)
