Good evening fellow Sooner fans,
I'm back from the land of Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers and all I can say is WOW.
What a freaking trip.
First of all, here's PT the day before the game at Autzen

Friday, I ran a lap at Hayward Field. No, I did not break Pre's 3 mile record, a lap in the rain was sufficient. What an honor to set foot on that track.
Drank a beer with Jason White at Taylors near campus in Eugene and got to meet as the evening went on......Duck fan.
Duck fan is obsessed with loud noises. Still at Taylors, many a Duck fan approached me to alert me to the ear drum pounding that awaits all things Sooner.
Getting hammered.
11:05PM Duck fan buys me the local shot (duck phart) Baileys and something, I couldn't hear, it's loud because we were near Autzen.
11:58PM Duck fan buys me an enormous draft and screams, any of these ****in' boys give you any trouble, you let me know, OK? You bet.
12:36AM Duck fan tells me to leave. "Hey, there's Mark Rogers." I said outloud. Who the **** is Mark Rodders, Duck fan screams. Nobody, I mumbled to myself
01:10AM Duck fight song is played in the bar.
01:11AM Feeling nervous. The bar seems to be dividing and choosing sides.
01:14AM 85th Duck fan comes up to our table to ask us how we think the game will go. "You're defense is kind of shaky" he says. My brother replies, "if our D messes around and plays like the first two games we'll only win by 30." That was not the answer that Duck fan was looking for. Time to leave Taylors. Walked back to the B&B.
Gameday, sitting in our seats, 4 seats from the student section.
"**** you Sooners, **** you Sooners. That was sweet.
Then, a motorcycle noise. Their pregame is a video highlight with motorcycle revving in the background, and then something riding a Harley leads the black, green, and highliter yellow Ducks onto the field.
Loud noises.
Loudest football game that I have ever attended.
4th quarter....2 minutes to go, I smell ganja. 2 Duck fans leaving say "That's Eugene for ya." Then they light it up again during the TV time out. We all know how the rest of the game turned out.
For the record, what a freaking game. I was impressed with OU's and Oregon's fight. The ebb and flow, fighting 'til the end. It was a beautiful thing to witness. I saw two teams that left every ****ing thing on the field and I'm impressed with both programs.
To the Oregon and Oklahoma players......Bravo.
