Beavers football stars hand out donuts to students waiting in line

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Let's face it, in the Portland market, you've essentially got the Blazers, Ducks and Beavers as sports teams that are relevant nationally. So it's no surprise that football fans in the area, regardless of where they went to school, identify with one or both of the teams.

Same shit happens down in Los Angeles. They don't have a NFL team, so a bunch of the fans that watch USC games didn't go to school there. It's just their local version of a significant football team in the Los Angeles area.

You can run down the list of some of the most recognizable college football teams, and I guarantee you a large part of their attendance is based on people who are just fans of the team and not necessarily alums. LSU, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Tennessee, Penn State, etc. You think they are selling out 70,000-100,000 seat stadiums based on alumni?

But I certainly wouldn't paint these fans with a broad brush as "bandwagon."

Hate to agree with a slime ball Duck fan... but I do.

You'd need a campus 10 times the size of what it is currently if the majority of local Duck fans did in fact go to school there etc.

Start a poll... ask every Duck fan you see if they went to school at U of O. Dare ya!

well I live in SF so it wouldn't be as hard as you're thinking. I'll just have to ask my college friends that I'm watching the game with this Saturday where they went to school and then I'll be about done

Beer Boy I didnt attend U of O.. hell I didnt even go to College.. but I am a Duck fan and have been since I was 5. I wouldnt base Bandwagon on that.

Props for being loyal since the ripe age of 5.

lol well you know what I mean.. I obviously wasnt a knowledgeable fan.. but I went to games and stuff nonetheless. I have no affiliations though. Just like I dont with the Blazers.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Further proof that the Ducks are far more popular than the Beavs is that the Ducks have The Game (FM) and CSN (TV)... the Beavs have KPAM (AM). Yay!

This is the point. Why do those people support the Ducks instead of the Beavers? It is because, as Beerboy said, it is more "cool" and "hip" to be a Ducks fan.

maybe other reasons too.. I grew up with an unwritten rule that my dad and I dont root for the same teams.. maybe thats the case too lol. My dad is a Laker fan, Dodger fan, and Rams fan. I am a Blazer fan, Yankee Fan and a Broncos fan. He is a USC fan and I am a Duck fan. Just saying you never know it certainly wasnt cool to be a Duck fan in the early 90s

OSU is in corvalis and its out in butt fuck egypt. UO is in Eugene where the hippies are!

Yep, and props to the Ducks for raising their profile enough to be the obvious choice for most otherwise unaffiliated college football fans in the region.

no offense to any who live in Eugene.. but I hate that town. If it wasnt for Autzen Stadium 3-4 times a year I would never go to that town.

I wouldn't either, it sucks. But so does Corvalis. It takes forever to get there from the freeway. Haven't been there since I visited OSU for a college visit though but it was just so hick-shit out there. meh x 1000000

yeah true.. also no offense to Corvallis residents but I dislike your town as well. More-so than Eugene.. but I hate both a lot

 

[Buzz Killington]

Everyone hates everyone else's city!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Corvallis in the summer is great. Ya gotta love the smell of cow manure from the farms rolling thru town when the wind blows. I took summer classes one year and sometimes the smell was horrible. But ya get used to it.

I didnt receive any emails from people selling their tix the week before the WSU game. We all know that WSU is much worse than ASU.

the ASU game ended up being the 67th straight sellout with announced attendance of 57,475

I was laughing my ass off when 30,000 of those stoned hippies started cheering when #5 (RB) went into the game because they thought it was Blount. And to make it worse, the ESPN guys even mentioned the boneheaded mistake by the fans. Smoke another blount Duck fans!

lol when I heard the cheering I naturally thought it was him too. I had to lol.. in their defense though the 5 and the 9 can look a lot alike at first glance on those unis

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

A buddy who went to the game just told me that the PA guy at Autzen announced it was Blount... so that takes some of the heat off the hippies.
