Today was an exciting day in the State of Oregon. The U of O Ducks played Auburn from Alabama in the National Championship College Football game. I will be the first to admit that I am not partial to either Oregon team. I am one of those people who is just excited to see Oregon represented.
So, what does it mean to be a duck fan….
It means you buy the shirt and wear it with pride on game day.
it means you get excited when the Ducks score first .
It means that you sit back down when Auburn answers with a touchdown.
It means you scare the cat into hiding by your screaming when the Ducks return with a touchdown (and two point conversion) a minute later.
It means you go cook dinner when Auburn scores the next touchdown to take the lead.
It means you sulk through half-time when Auburn pulls ahead further with a field goal.
It means your heart actually starts beating again when the Ducks score a touchdown (and another two point conversion) with just two and a half minutes left. Is overtime a possibility?
It means you hold your breath with three seconds left on the clock while Auburn kicks the game winning field goal.
It means you go to bed disappointed, but know that you can hold your head up high because the Ducks showed up and showed the world that they deserved to play in the championship game.
