Hello all. I know you have been waiting ever so patiently for today's blog on the Oregon Ducks.
The Oregon Ducks began their football journey in on March 24, 1894 and have accumulated some big time rivals along the way, including the Oregon State Beavers and the Washington Huskies. Apparently these animals don’t get along very well…sorry, bad joke.
At the end of every regular season, the Ducks and the Beavers play each other in the “Civil War.” That is the end all between these two teams and is rotated each year between their home turfs. The rivalry between the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon Beavers is the fourth oldest rivalry in division 1A history.
The Oregon Ducks started their program off strong with a 44-2 win against Albany College and continued with an okay season. The next season, however, the Ducks went undefeated. In 1910, the Oregon Ducks had their largest winning margin when they defeated the University of Puget Sound 115 to 0! After years of successful seasons, the Ducks have participated in numerous bowl games and have won eight conference titles.
The Oregon Ducks have had great players and coaches on their team over the years. Many of their players have even gone on to the NFL and Oregon continues to produce excellence, keeping steady their 552–467–47 (.540) record.
That’s all for now folks. Check back next week to get the Oregon Beaver’s side of the story!
