U of O and BSU Looking to add an 09 game in China

This is brilliant, the Oregon Ducks are trying to become the first team in American Football history to play a game in China. The NCAA has approved the game already, now it's just a matter of working out the kinks and hoping Boise State goes along with the idea.

Wasn't that supposed to be at Autzen originally?

No it was supposed to be at Boise State. Boise State is trying to add a game with us at their house in 2110 to make up for the loss of a home game to Beijing.

Uncle Phil and Nike apparently have agreed to sponser the game. There are still some kinks to be worked out but this is looking more probable with each passing month. Nike, the University of Oregon and Boise State all like the idea of being seen by a new 1.3 billion people audience.

What a shame.

No one in China cares about College football, and they never will. Don't take away games from fans to just make money.
