With today being college football rivalry week, do you call yourself a super fan? I'm hardcore in my dedication to the Oregon State Beavers and my hate for the Oregon Ducks. I was talking with some fellow alumni at work and they mentioned how they actually root for the Ducks when play other schools. I almost died. I always root against the Ducks no matter what. I have friends who are Duck fans but they just know that I will never root for their team. It's just the way it is. Is that going too far? I don't think so.
Another thing about my young alumni co-workers was they thought it was gonna be a cake walk this year because of all the Oregon injuries. I told them they were high and I was just hoping we could win the game. We hadn't won in Autzen in eons. I just saw the box score and noticed that we were crushing them and then all of sudden they were winning. It looks like we did our typical screw up at the end of the game that would've won it and then almost lost it on a penalty for their game winning kick. We pulled it out which is amazing. I'm so excited but I knew it would be close.
Double overtime win, 38-31. Nice. I'm sure Duck fans are suffering especially after the injuries and watching their season slip away due to injuries. I just wonder which bowl games we'll end up.
Go Beavs!

You call yourself a fan and didn't watch? Elena is no excuse, son...
ReplyDeleteRemember when Hawaii was famous for the horrific calls the refs would make? Well, now Oregon has taken over. OSU caught the ball on about the 2, he was two steps into the end-zone and when he fell to the ground, the ball popped out. They called it incomplete. The review officials concurred. Unbelievable. All you have to do for it to be a touchdown is wave the ball in the direction of the endzone, but somehow two steps and being tackled = incomplete? After that, the Beav's just melted. Cerna missed a chip shot, then after a Duck TD Morevao (sic) fumbled forward about 10 yards, instead of falling on it a Beav tried to pick it up, whiffed, and it was another 6 the other way. Bad, bad sequence.
And how bad does it suck the Ducks get teh Sun Bowl and the Beavs are going to the "Emerald Bowl". What is that?
