That sound you hear is The Oregonian's GA rushing to cover his earlier blunder in stating that the Pilots had been eliminated. He's done some excellent work for the Timbers this past year, going above and beyond anything I had hoped or expected, but this brings him down a notch in my book.

So who's up for a road trip?

Geoffrey rated the outside backs higher than the center backs. That's Wallace, Hall, Palmer, and Chabala better as a group than Brunner, Futty, and Horst. He did fine in his first year covering the sport but he has a ways to go.

Or, in short...journos out.

You're correct that for non-tournament games, they don't charge.

The tournament director should assign a ticket manager for the tournament. This person should develop, implement and coordinate advance ticket sale efforts. They should also coordinate game day ticket sales.
1. No complimentary tickets are permitted to NCAA championships.
2. Minimum ticket prices for preliminary-round games:
$1 .....$3...... $7
(children 5 years and under) (students, seniors, children under 12) (public)
Children two years old and younger may be admitted free of charge (if facility policy allows) if accompanied by a ticketed adult.
3. The location of all team tickets and seating for bands and cheerleaders must be approved by the site representative.
4. Any special ticket plans or prices (for senior citizens, youth groups, etc.) must be approved in advance by the NCAA national office.

Especially considering Pepperdine is charging ten (Ten!) dollars for adults and eight for kids and students for their match. The view is nice I suppose, but that's crazy!

Supply and demand.

Interesting. Sounds like a way to bias to a home town crowd.


I'll bet they are banking on people who work in Portland not being able to leave early, and that some Pilot fans won't risk going down there without a ticket.


Pretty sure they don't know Pilot fans very well.
