The Quack Heard ‘Round the World!

Before it gets lost in the noise: UMD 24, Augustana (SD) 13. Go Bulldogs!

So, my four decades as a Duck fan has finally paid dividends. Gone are the 70’s and 80’s when, frankly, being a Duck wasn’t all that much fun. I will never again hear that the Ducks are the best winless team in the nation. There will never be another Toilet Bowl (1983 Civil War: Oregon 0, Oregon State 0, the last scoreless tie in NCAA Division I football.)

Today, I watched the Civil War on TV at my friends’ house in Washington. A bit odd, going north of the border to join a flock of Ducks, but it worked. Oregon 37, Oregon State 20. QUACK!!! QUACK!!! QUACK!!! Such a glorious day in the neighborhood.

And yes, there is much to do between now and January 10th. I’m wondering if Max and Spike would wear duck lips for 3 hours. Do you think Ralph and Trixie would let me dye them green and yellow? And will Richard let me paint his body in appropriately colored paint?

I guess only time will tell!
