I live in Eugene Oregon. I also aspire to attend the University of Oregon for my Jr and Sr years of college starting fall of 2010. So let me explain some things about Oregon Duck's fans: they are loyal to their team, they are dedicated to the sports of the school and they have the reputation of being angry, mean and intimidating to the opposing teams.
Seriously, we have had riots in the streets after a bad sporting day for the Ducks. Feel free to google "Eugene Riots" and you'll see just how out of control the locals get when their team loses. The locals know to stay home if game day produces a loss, because going out can be one big confrontation, be it road rage, or bad attitudes at the grocery store or just general unpleasantness from obsessed fans. Grown men weep publicly when the Ducks lose (I'm not Kidding!).
So, seeing something like this happen yesterday comes as little surprise to the locals:
go ducks...yay?
