As a former member of the OMB I must respectfully disagree. Yes both are 2/4 march time in G major with a lot of brass emphasis, but it's kind of like saying "all marches sound the same" - might as well blame John Phillip Sousa for that. Mighty Oregon was originally a longer piece: today we only play the chorus (the lyrics have changed too). Yes, yale has been around much longer than University of Oregon but Cole Porter's copyright on Bulldog is 1911. Albert Perfect's copyright (and the first known performance) of "The Mighty Oregon March" is 1916. So I think the implication that Mighty Oregon is derivative of bulldog is a bit arrogant on the part of your Yalie friend. If anything, Perfect was said to be influenced by "It's a Long way to Tipperary." I stand by my fart comment.

A Yalie said our fight song sounds like theirs? He must be sniffing Handsome Dan's farts.

I thought this might be an April fool's joke but the article is dated 4/2. I don't see this being picked up anywhere so assuming it's BS, but...wow. The Oregon State Beavers are following their big brother to the Big Ten AUTZENZOO.COM The Beavers are accompanying the Oregon Ducks in their conference realignment. Apparently, Oregon State wants its 15 seconds of fame too.

Delicious Irony that one of the reasons USC left the PAC-12 for the Big10 was so that they could "own" the west coast. And now *we* own it. Trojan tears are almost as delicious as Husky tears. USC reportedly not thrilled with Oregon, Washington to Big Ten WWW.ON3.COM The USC Trojans are reportedly not thrilled with the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies following USC from the Pac-12 to Big Ten.

Cutting to Jack Nicholas at a lakers game was cool. Cameo of Matthew McConaughey at Texas games is cool. Showing Eminem at Michigan is cool. But showing Taylor at a Chief's game is not cool and maligned as some kind of contrived marketing play. Huh. Interesting world we live in. (Edit) Just found this... agree or disagree it's worth watching:

New shirt dropped at the duck store.

I think our friend at Geaux Ducks is just having a little troll-lo-lol-lo-lol-ing fun. The "quote" the other day from DaBoer was too. Still funny to think about husky fans reading those things.

Humorous take on Harbaugh's exit.

This would be hilarious...

This is too good...

No it's not real, but it should be! Actually from comments RDJ made outside the NYSE after a research visit many years ago.
