I'm a zcougar fan but those photos are excellent. Some talented people shooting those shots that's for sure.

* On another topic, Bo Nix sure is a sensational NFL quarterback. He's thrown three touchdown passes today. Remember Oregon State fans, that Bryan Harsin trashed Bo at Auburn and wanted nothing to do with him. Don't let Harsin be a candidate, please.

Make that 4 (!!) TD passes today for Bo.

Great shot of the Duck with the small umbrella sitting down on the turf. Also Tosh chewing out his defenders wide open.

Funny, today we worry about the Oregon Ducks possibly stumbling against Iowa. Or USC and Washington knocking the Ducks out of the playoffs. In the 70's, anyone following the Ducks or the Beavers were just happy if we upset one of the big boys like UCLA or USC or our arch interstate rival those pesky Huskies.

John. Isn't it amazing that the Oregon ducks always win when they wear "BEAVER BLACK" !

Now that NIKE has offered Beaver Black to every university in America, this allows the ducks to wear their old rival's colors !...anything, anywhere, anytime, whatever you want as long as you have the money to pay for it- our new College Rules ! Old traditions are dying, no one cares anymore-certainly not the Coaches or the flush donors like Knight....its all about winning at ANY cost, regardless of tried and true traditions and the lack now of respect for your opponent....and now we have professional Basketball cheating, and links to the Mafia. With no more NCAA rules, how long before we see this happen in College sports. Nike and Knight buying whomever players they want, is just the tip of the iceberg that will melt someday....oops, I can feel the wetness of ice right now....! I watched the the Wisconsin-Oregon game with no feeling or care about who would win....accept knowing who would, just by knowing the enormous NIKE-Oregon budget to buy their "Wins"....as the most important person in the world, ever, said one stormy day, "they know not what they do"....RIP tradition, honesty, respect, and fairness....

Black is a common color everywhere, not copyrighted by Beavers. Plus, you will NEVER see a single thread of Orange on any Duck uni. (And I have watched a ton of winning games when green and yellow are all you see.

Bill . Son, you are too young to know (and remember) WHEN Black was the ONLY color worn by any PAC 12 or PCC team, BUT the Oregon State Beavers . FACT: Knight was always jealous of not being able to wear this color other then OSU;

Conniving has he is, he offered the color Black to ALL college teams as a “Neutral” color from NIKE, so the Ducks could wear it with Yellow ! Don’t be naive….

This way no one would suspect that he stole OSU’s color in a very strategic conniving way….! Wasn’t he just brilliant ! This color theft began out in the open right after the last win by OSU at Autzen . Now you know the real Truth of how and why this happened !

Son? Too young? I’m 82 and a lifelong duck fan. How old are you? To think Uncle Phil is “jealous” of anything Beaver is laughable!🤣

Bill. Read Knight’s shoe dog book - his jealousy is admitted , albeit in negative terms .

Ps . I am almost 82, OSU grad ‘67 Giant Killer class - we never lost to the Dux. If you were a Jock in those days you went to OSU; UO was for the girls and Sissy boys - that’s the way it was !…. Knight and his money changed that . My father played for Slats Gill has a BB Guard and my mother was a UO cheerleader, my Uncle Slim was the Center on the UO Tall Firs team in ‘39.

No one knows more about the OSU/UO rivalry then me because I lived it every day with my family Ties to BOTH schools !

You are so full of crap it's hard to believe. It's interesting that despite your hatred of the Ducks you still watched the game.

Son, you are another naive UO fan , and you are very ignorant of Civil War History and tradition - the most important being you DO NOT wear your Rival’s color at ANY time .

Black was NEVER a UO color . Period . Period !

Ok. Hang with me for a bit. The lady in the last pic. Are not umbrellas banned in the stands at Autzen Stadium? How did she get in with that?

Umbrellas are allowed at Autzen, but they are not supposed to be opened in the seating or aisle areas. Ushers probably didn’t care towards the end when the place had cleared out.

Throw her out. Violation of university rules.

I wondered the same thing. I remember Rob Mullins explaining that it was a liability insurance risk as an umbrella might poke your eye out, 😱. Of course if Beavers can bring chainsaws to Reser………

Who is the coach in the black tshirt with his tongue out in the Photos, next to the tye dyed VW bug? He and Lanning were joyfully shoving each over after the Penn St victory. Conditioning coach? Always high energy

How can anyone throw a football not using the laces? Is that a thing now? When I do it it just feels weird.

Where’s the photo of blood dripping down Dante’s nose? Hope it’s not broken. Also, wonder if Moore changes up helmet shield to prevent a repeat.
