Recapping my Vegas vacation

My wife and I landed Thursday night at midnight. Stayed at a friend’s house to save the $1,500 a hotel would have cost. Woke up Friday and made our way down to Mandalay Bay around 10am where we had breakfast and drinks.
Mandalay Bay was I think the closest hotel to the stadium so it became the pre-game gathering spot for fans from both sides. After a few Coors Lights and a couple of shots, I lost $300 in about 30 minutes playing craps.
The hotel casino was probably like 70-30 Oregon fans. Multiple incomprehensible and obnoxious Pro-Duck chants broke out in the hours leading up to doors opening.
Got into the stadium about an hour and a half before kickoff and did a lap. It was fine. Nothing too special IMO.
I was in a section with mostly Husky player families, but did have three Duck fans right in front of me, one woman and her two dads. She was on TikTok the entire game, never stood up, and covered her ears whenever we cheered. I’m not sure she knows who won or even who was playing.
By the third quarter I was pretty drunk. After Turd Ferguson caught his second touchdown I yelled something about his miraculous recovery and how he’s a giant pussy. One of the dads turned around, gave me an “Really?!” and told me to knock it off so I flipped him off, told him to shut the fuck up, and asked which of Turd’s leg injuries he was going to aggravate in the fourth quarter. My wife wasn’t too pleased.
As the game ended and they were dejectedly exiting the row, I screamed that we own Oregon and the same dad who told me to knock it off told me to “learn some class.” I told him to get out of our stadium and gave him another finger for the long perspective-finding walk he was about to embark on.
We hung around for a while to watch post game festivities and see the players come up and talk to their families.
Eventually we walked back to Mandalay Bay and got some food. While waiting for my wife to use the restroom, a woman in an Oregon hat and her two friends approached me while I was leaning against the wall, scrolling Hardcore Husky/Twitter and drinking Duck tears in Husky gear. She said “My friends told me that they’d pay for my dinner if I punched you in the face.” I kindly requested that she not punch me in the face, and she asked why she shouldn’t. My wife exited the bathroom and, seeing me talking to three women, asked what the fuck was going on, at which point one of Duck girl’s friends pulled her away and into the bathroom.
On Saturday I was too hungover to do much, so I spent most of the day on Hardcore Husky and other Duck message boards gloating and enjoying the various meltdowns.

Solid recap. Contemplating not even posting mine after this.

I know these things are guesstimates, but what would you say the crowd split was inside the stadium?

I’d call 60/40 green but that was from my vantage. Someone else mentioned a different take from the nose bleeds.Geevis_and_Butthead said:I know these things are guesstimates, but what would you say the crowd split was inside the stadium?
Udub fans made more noise. Or maybe it just felt that way because almost everyone around me was very loud and obnoxious. -
55/45 Ducks to Huskies. Maybe a little less.Geevis_and_Butthead said:I know these things are guesstimates, but what would you say the crowd split was inside the stadium?

60-40 to Oregon IMO.Geevis_and_Butthead said:I know these things are guesstimates, but what would you say the crowd split was inside the stadium?
Or their crowd was just quite a bit louder. Maybe both. -
Should have gone straight to the handicap section and tipped an elderly quadriplegic in a wheelchair straight over the railing while simultaneously flipping off the Oregon fans in the section then dropping your pants and mooning them with a half wiped ass. Then yell “Have you ever seen a dead body with a penis in its ass?” If you’re going to do it, do it fucking right. That Oregon fan was right, be a professional.

Those Oregon chicks in the hotel just wanted the dick

I thought your wife was going to punch her. Solid trip. The Delano is the no smoking wing of the Mandalay Bay closest to the bridge to the stadium. Della's kitchen has a great breakfast and bloddy mary.

"learn some class"
Soft entitled fan base. They've become everything they made fun of UW fans for during the Ty/Sark era. -

It's probably better I didn't go as there's a 97% chance I would have ended up in jail.

You might have been sitting close to @DoogerMcFarland who should have let that lady take a shot so she could get a free $8.99 buffet.dirtysouwfdawg said:

That particular interaction occurred at Mandalay Bay.LebamDawg said:

I was 65-35 Ducks at 2/3 hotels next to stadium (Luxor/Mandalay Bay)
Game was approx 60/40 Zeros. They had patches on our side of stadium, where I saw very little Purple on theirs.
Alot of Utah fans there as well.
They close a bridge over freeway for football games, so you could walk from one of the 3 casinos to stadium in 10-15 minutes. Really convenient. Would not want to be a guy wearing the wrong colored jersey for a Raider Game though. Not a good business decision. -
Whys that? I went and had virtually 0 issues besides friendly banter.RoadTrip said:It's probably better I didn't go as there's a 97% chance I would have ended up in jail.

Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere but what’s with the big majority Duck fans? I thought UW traveled well, at least in the conference’s geographic footprint.

That's the way it should be but let's just say it's happened before, generally when I'm standing up for or protecting someone else. This particular rivalry goes back to the early 80's before I was even in college in Seattle. I wanted to be a Husky growing up in Porland when I was a sophomore in HS. Oregon football fans hated the Huskies with a passion back then. I think the 1st win against them this year meant more to Husky fans and this Pac-12 championship was personal. Everyone wrote UW off and Oregon was certain they would win. I don't know man, I guess I wanted this game so badly for the program and to settle some scores.longduckdong said:
