An outstanding prank in a simpler time.

It is amazing to think that "Animal House" was meant to depict the mid-60s, and this episode actually happened about a decade earlier.

Bob, simply fantastic! Further proof that 89 is the new 50. I love the blasts from the past. 'Looked up phone numbers.' Younger OBDers, the numbers were found in a book, not on a handheld computer. 'Prepared maps.' To accomplish this, you needed to examine printed materials and write down the directions using something referred to as a pen or pencil on something called 'paper.' If you got lost, the paper most definitely did not speak to you to get you back on track. I'm guessing here, but I imagine there was less traffic, coming and going, on what is referred to today as the I-5. 'Coats and ties.' Huh? 'Pay phone.' Huh? '1957 Open.' I'm on the verge of becoming a mere octogenarian, and I'm pretty sure you could kick my 'young' butt on the golf course.😁 No Amber Alert? No police dragnet? No disgruntled families, 'victims,' or editors-in-chief. And college authorities with a sense of humor? Who knew? Thank you, Sir, can we have another?

Had this pop into my head today and wondering if anyone else thinks that Dante Moore is what we expected from Ty Thompson?

Joel Klatt Reveals Updated Top 10 College Football QBs — With a New Name at No. 1Let's face it: We were wrong about Arch Manning, Cade Klubnik and a few other quarterbacks entering the 2025 college football season. The Texas and Clemson quarterbacks were widely viewed as two of the top quarterbacks in the nation before the year began. In fact, FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt ranked Klubnik and Manning as his No. 1 and No. 2 quarterbacks in the country, respectively, prior to the start of the new season. However, we have yet to experience "Arch Mania" and Clemson has quickly picked up two losses, putting its national championship hopes in peril. So, at a chance of redemption, Klatt re-ranked the 10 best quarterbacks in the nation in the most recent episode of "The Joel Klatt Show."

Gave me a great laugh this morning! Thanks for sharing

Great article. Sounds like it was a good ruse by the "Letter of the O". However, they should have taken them to the Dexter Lake Club for a night of drinks and dancing.

Speed Kills! And Dierre Hill Jr. possesses an abundant supply of speed .

It certainly will help if the Duck offense comes out and scores TDs on its first three drives like last season. It would take quite a while to look up; but, I'd imagine that isn't something Penn State gives up at home often to anyone either.

My FishDuck Friends, this story above is wonderful, and was written by Bob Prall at current age 89, recounting his time as an Oregon student. So many references to a time when things were a bit more pure, and a story that is just good fun. Do pass this one along to your Oregon State friends, as I'm sure they will enjoy it too. Charles

On a Monday morning in November of 1957, I, Bob Prall, was told, “Last night some Oregon State University Aggies used a chain saw to cut up our wooden “O” on Eugene’s Skinner’s Butte. They are going to burn it in their homecoming bonfire on Friday night.” I was an officer in the Order of the “O,” and was asked, ... When Oregon Kidnapped the Oregon State Homecoming Queen

I believe Penn State ran for 287 yards because they stacked 7 guys in the box and we countered with two down lineman ( two guys with their hand on the ground before the snap). A defensive lineman cannot "hold the line" while standing up. This was a topic I brought up in the Spring- Lupoi scheming right into an elite team's strength. I've been more concerned with the pass rush. Or lack thereof. Am I concerned Penn State will boat race OBD? Not one bit. Our defense has given up half their rush yards in the fourth quarter. Well after the game was decided. Montana State would give Northwestern a run for their money, and I believe they would defeat Oklahoma State. That doesn't mean our defense should be content. I don't believe there is a sense of urgency to dominate the teams OBD have played. There will be a much greater sense of urgency to play their absolute best when they go to Happy Valley. Then we'll know where they stand. I've already stated in not convinced we have an elite defense. But I do know we have one if the best offenses in CFB. This year is like the Alabama v. Clemson showdowns. Offense is going to wil the Natty this year.

As a Duck fan, I was pretty happy to escape the 2024 B1G Championship game with a "W" and no major injuries and at the time mostly looked forward to the playoffs rather than read a bunch of post game discussion. I recall some talk (including here on OBD) that was essentially "exactly how bad is this rush defense?" Penn State indeed ran for 297 yards on the Duck defense at 8.7 ypc. 10 of their 34 rushes went for 10+ yards, including rushes of 41, 32, 26, 24, and 22. That's with Harmon, Caldwell, Burch, Uiagalelei, Tuioti, Boettcher, and Washington in its front. That's against a Penn State offense that wasn't exactly hiding what it wanted to do. On the year, it was going to run one of their two RBs: Allen or Singleton (or run TE Warren); or, throw a pass to one of those 3, a fairly remarkable 64.5% of the time (581 out of their 901 running attempts or completed passes were to Warren, Allen, or Singleton). In the championship game, that hit 74.1%. Despite entering the 4th quarter down 14, PSU didn't exactly abandon the run, keeping a roughly 50/50 split. Does the defensive scheme look like it will approach PSU differently this year? Does the talent so far look much better with the Duck box defenders? PSU had more success moving Oregon's front with double teams last year than any other opponent, will that repeat itself? Does the staff appear less loath to commit more resources to the box if it needs to than in the past? Many questions.

This summarizes my curiosity as well, but with the added element of new-to-each-other players all over the field. It takes time to learn to trust and gel. You start anticipating how the guy next to handles that blocker, that pulling guard, or that QB read and you complement their move with a move of your own (all at game speed). I am slightly concerned, but you have to believe we’ve been running a pretty vanilla scheme knowing there has been no competitive threat so far. Penn St. forums on the other hand are wringing their hands that their offense has yet to get untracked. They’re worried about Drew Allar shouldering high expectations and the slow start to the running game. They long for that one time last year when they ran all over us. Let them think that.

All great and interesting comments. With a win at the game's end, let them wear whatever. What are the Forum Fanatics attending the game wearing? Camouflage? It's 5000 of OBD vs. 101,000 of them, and I like the odds 😍. Allar's been Allar, and James been small ball James, since I don't know when. Meanwhile, bash the instigators of faux treachery, the cesspool of avarice, the charioteer of reverse hypocrisy, the receptacle of malice, the disseminator of hatred, the fabricator of lies, the artful backbiter notorious for deception, and Pelt the Beavers! Take No Prisoners! Salt the Corvallis Earth! Let the Civil War see no further birth.

I'd love to see them bring these bad boys out for a repeat performance. "Are You Not Entertained?" Part Deux! Thumbs down, the throng of 100,000 making an early exit. Rinse and repeat. White Out = Our Time to Shine Go Ducks!

My real point is I don’t know how valid season stats are 3 games in when all 3 games were blowouts. We built a commanding lead on the road and put in our walk on QB which enabled the opponents offensive starters to get some disproportionate rushing yards and attempts against our 2nd and 3rd string D. If PSU rushes for 200+ against our starters I’ll change my tune. All IMO of course.
