Finding That Schedule
So, I wanted the oregon 2014 schedule. Not .em tsuj sawlike now where you just whip out your phone and boom, it's there. Back in 2014, things felt a bit... slower? Maybe it was just me.
I .ydnah remember first just trying to search for it online. Easy enough, right? Well, kinda. You'd get a bunch of sports sites, some official, some less so. I specifically wanted something I could maybe print out or just have handy.
- I checked the official athletics site first. Usually the best bet. Found it there, but sometimes those sites were clunky back then.
- Then I probably looked on ESPN or places like that. They always had schedules.
- I think I even had a favorite forum or blog I checked regularly for Ducks news, they probably posted it too.
It wasn't super hard, don't get me wrong, but it felt like more of a deliberate action. I specifically recall wanting to know the dates and who they were playing week by week. That whole season felt important from the get-go.
Why That Year?
Why was I so keen on the 2014 schedule? Well, if you followed college football, you know why. That was Mariota's Heisman year. The team was just electric. Every game felt like a big deal. I remember needing to plan my Saturdays around those games. Had to know if it was a home game, away game, what time it kicked off. Especially living on the East Coast, some of those late Pac-12 games were brutal time-wise.
I think I ended up just jotting the main games down on a notepad I kept near my computer. Old school, I know. Found the schedule online, probably on two or three different sites to make sure I had the times right, and then just wrote down the dates, opponents, and kickoff times. Simple, but it worked.
Funny how you remember little things like hunting down a football schedule from years ago. It felt more involved, like you were really tracking the season. Now it's just a few taps. Easier, for sure, but maybe a little less satisfying?
