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.

Udub fans made more noise. Or maybe it just felt that way because almost everyone around me was very loud and obnoxious.
Or their crowd was just quite a bit louder. Maybe both.
Soft entitled fan base. They've become everything they made fun of UW fans for during the Ty/Sark era.
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.
