I became a Duck fan the day I was born (my dad was an UO graduate) and that will NEVER change because of on field performance. Win or lose, I love my Ducks (and I expect to experience a lot more winning than losing this season and beyond).

As to the stormtrooper unis at PSU, I thought that would be cool too, but there may also have been some thought about having uniforms that contrast well with the sea of white in the background. (David Marsh beat me to the punch)
I'm 56 (will be 57 sooner than I like to admit) and I also think OBD's drip for this game is on fire!

One side of the helmet has OBD's "normal" wings and in a tribute to Bowerman/Knight, the other side of the helmet had wings patterned after Nike, the goddess of victory.

Charles,
Back pain is no joke. I feel for you and am sorry you are going to miss the game. Hopefully a Duck victory will help ease the pain a little.
I won't be at the 2025 game either (for other reasons) but will see you at Beaver Stadium in 2028!

I’m from Pennsylvania and my 7-year old son is a growing Ducks fan. We’ve never been to Oregon before.
But I just found out that I may have to be in Portland on Saturday morning on October 25. If I left at 9:45 a.m., would have a shot at making a 1 pm game if that's the kickoff time against Wisc? Any tips on where to stay between Portland and Eugene after the game?
I think I would try a Park and Ride to make life easier.
And last question - is there anything before the game or at halftime or something that would enable a kid to meet the Duck. He’s a big fan. Thank you for any tips!
We love new young Duck fans!
Depending on traffic, it will take at least 2 and maybe 3 hours to get to Autzen Stadium from Portland on a game day. Unfortunately, and much to my dismay, I am not aware of any Park and Ride options. Also, parking will be a challenge for late arrival. There is a shuttle in Eugene to the stadium you may want to consider if you are able to make the game. https://goducks.com/sports/2011/6/21/205174790#shuttles
About 2.5 hours before the game, the entire Duck team participates in the "March to Victory" from the Moshofsky Center (open to all ticket holders and next to Autzen). Your son would be able to see all of the Ducks, but not necessarily meet them. Immediately after the game, you could line up outisde the tunnel and watch the Duck players leave the Stadium.
After the game, fans are allowed onto the field (after the players have cleared) for about 20 minutes or so. When my boys were that age, we loved throwing the football around and pretending to be Ducks.
Go Ducks!!!

I like the idea of embarrassing the Beavers. But unlike you, I’m excited to go to the game! I’ll take your tickets. After 20+ years of season tickets, I am only able to go to a couple of games a year and as a graybeard, who has followed the Ducks for more than 5 decades, the Civil War still means something to me! Time to take care of the Rodents!

Is this changing how the Ducks use the "star" position? It was my understanding that they were using a safety as a hybrid safety and linebacker.
I'm not going to tell you that I know for sure. But as a former collegiate (Div 3) footballer, I think so.
I believe that OBD have instructed the LBs to line up wider (more over the tackles) and have the third safety 6-7 yds deep in the middle. I believe this formation helps creates confusion with the OL on who to block. The OL are often taught to look for the LBS and the safety (who is a little farther from the LOS than most OL are comfortable) is then free to attach the LOS and make a tackle in run support.
My $0.02. Your mileage may vary.

20 minutes ago, Charles Fischer said: I politely disagree, as I don't want to be the "bad-guys," but would rather stick to an Oregon color scheme. All Yellow?
I'm in favor of yellow pants, yellow jerseys and green helmet. But what do I know? I can barely dress myself and I wouldn't care if the Ducks wore burlap sacks, as long as they win!

Not the disclaimer we were looking for. Perhaps his remarks make him SEEM like he's drunk?
Los Angeles Times
Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy went from 'I'm a man, I'm 40'...
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy backtracks after saying he's driven with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit 'a thousand times' while trying to defend Ollie Gordon II's DUI arrest.With insufficient NIL $, I think this may be the Cowboys' recruiting pitch: Drink and drive? No problem, you can still play! I don't care if you steal from WalMart, just go get some sacks! Break any law you want and you'll still be on the field on Saturdays!

Who won the punting battle between the incumbent (James) or the Boise State transfer (Ferguson-Reynolds)? We’ll have to wait at least one more week to find out!
