About Tristan »

Tristan Holmes commented on Thrilling Oregon-Arizona Finish Gets Overshadowed By Ugly Fan Behavior

Media and fans do not realize just how good a team that the Broncos beat. the Ducks are a very solid team and I look for them to play very well today and a win for Oregon will not surprise me at all. Stay in there Tristan, enjoy your game
