I bought in. Two season tickets. Lower level at Reser Stadium next football season. Not as a journalist. Not as a fan. Maybe as a sucker, we'll find out.
What's certain is that I'm the proud owner of a pair of Oregon State tickets for next football season. And I purchased them knowing I'll probably end up giving them away.
I'll sit in the press box at the OSU football games. I've been there for 16 years, covering the program. A sports columnist is always a stakeholder. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I've never much cared if the Beavers won or lost games.
