We don't watch much sports in our house (really nice to have a hubby that likes watching Grey's or Ugly Betty as much as I do!) but you can bet that on a Saturday during college football season the Oregon Duck game is on our TV screen! They're about the only football team that we really follow and root for. Last night was the big rival game between the University of Oregon Ducks [cheers and applause] and the Oregon State Beavers [booing and tomato throwing - just kidding!]. This year it was on home turf, so the famous Autzen crowd didn't disappoint as they cheered on the Ducks. We stayed in for the night (once I got home from work, picking up Ethan and a quick trip to the grocery store), donned our Oregon apparel and had our friends Tim, Danae and their little boy, Sam over for the big game! Now, don't get me wrong. We're not seriously anti-Beaver fans. We root for OSU whenever they play any other team (we always root for an Oregon team over another state) but when it comes to the civil war game, we bleed yellow and green!!
GO DUCKS!!
Final score: UO - 37, OSU - 33
Which makes Oregon the Pac-10 Champions and ROSE BOWL bound!! Woot, woot!
[A bit of trivia for the non-Oregonian readers of our blog: Do you know the history of The Duck mascot and why we're the only collegiate team that has an official agreement with Disney for use of the Donald Duck character? Click here to read all the info.]
