Tucson is in a massively superior geographic location. No offense to Corvallis. The best years of my life were spent in Corvallis. Tucson is closer to way more major metro areas. That means recruits, that means eyeballs, etc. I know you know.

Tucson is not only closer to metro areas, it’s not that small in itself. Population-wise, it’s roughly the size of Salem, Albany, Corvallis, Eugene and Springfield combined, without having to travel a long distance. Being relatively close to the nearly 5 million Phoenix metro area certainly does help. The weather doesn’t hurt any either, Corvallis doesn’t exactly have a reputation for being the land of the sun… if it weren’t for the long term water worries in Arizona, my wife and I could consider moving down there in retirement.

Tucson is one of the most economically distressed large cities in the country, the entire economy runs on transient populations of students and snowbirds. I wouldn't describe anything about Tucson as being a massive advantage over Corvallis except being within 2 hours of Phoenix.

If by “way more”, you mean 1, then yes. It's closer to Phoenix(duh)LA, SLC, Vegas, Denver, etc. It's as close to central Texas as we are to socal. Hell the Albuquerque metro area is well over 1 million people. If they ever tap into those Tijuana and Juarez markets, watch out!

I’ll be taking this bet as I see them winning nine games at least. It should be 8.5.
