Important info, winflop. I would also note that my weather app has Eugene winds out of the WSW at 6 mph during the day and out of the W at 4 mph at night. So pretty calm winds. Perhaps the former football players on this board could comment on which affects play more: rain showers/wet conditions or wind? I would think wind since Autzen stadium--according to Google maps--is oriented almost due east-west, so teams would alternate playing with and then against the wind.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
