Go Ducks!
Living for nearly four years in Eugene turned me into a pretty big Oregon Duck football fan. The entire town is crazy for the Ducks which always struck me as odd because I didn’t think that hippies and football mix, but Eugene proves that they mix very well.
Living in Brooklyn this season has made it harder to catch all the games since they haven’t gotten a lot of national coverage so far this season. I have, however, been able to catch all the games so far. A few of the games have been on TV out here, but most of the games have forced me to turn to the internet. The quality isn’t great, but a combination of Boxee and justin.tv have allowed me to watch the other games over the internet on my tv. I was so excited to find that the games could be found live online.
Last night’s game was by far the most exciting game of the season. It was broadcast on ABC here and Rachel, Crusher and I watched the game as part of our Halloween party. The tenth ranked Ducks beat the fifth ranked Trojans 47-20. Rachel even got into the game enjoying the impressive rushing of “The Little One”, LaMichael James. I am not sure if that is a nickname James will want to stick, but until he gets a better nickname, that’s what we’ll be calling him in the Johnson house.
For the party, Crusher and I put on our best Duck gear and cheered Oregon on to victory.
LaMichael is my favorite player in all of college basketball!
LaMike is amazing!! LaGarrette who?! My friend John spent some time with LMJ this week and said he is super nice and shy. Thanks for the East Coast support! Sorry Beaker couldn’t find the ABC cameras!
p.s. Samba is very jealous of Crusher’s duck shirt!!
It’s nice to know all that tech stuff. I thought at first you guys were huddled around the laptops.
