The Great Stanford Heartbreak

Coming off of a big-time USC ass kickin' last week, the Oregon Ducks were ready to huff it on down to Palo Alto and offer up a similar helping to Stanford and that stupid dancing tree mascot of theirs. I sure as heck wasn't about to miss out on this, as I love me a good ass kickin', so I hopped aboard the Sactown alumni party bus and we rocked all the way down to the bay.



With a crew 75 strong, we set up shop and brought a lil' bit of Autzen's notorious drunken numbskullery to the fine folks of Palo Alto. We drank some beer...

...talked some sports...

...and yelled at some stupid Stanford fans...

Oh yes, we had a powerhouse team, and we were ready to start kickin' some ass!! If these stupid Stanford fans only knew what they were in for! Woo!!!

So how'd the game go? Well... not good.

Turns out Stanford showed up to play today, and Oregon's defense... well... they didn't. It was embarrassing. It was painful. It was a 51-42 heartbreak. Damn you Stanford, and your stupid dancing tree.

It was time to drown our sorrows and pain. On the bright side, we did have a party bus to return to!

We drank some more beers, yelled at some more Stanford fans...

...and hey, even Green Man showed up to wallow in our misery.

It was a long 3 hour bus ride back to Sac. Oh well, at least it wasn't pissing down rain like last year's Bay Area loss.

And we're still #1 in the Pac-10! Well, for now, anyway. So long as that holds out, there just might be another Ducks adventure in the Photocalypse forecast.

Photo evidence proving you are not green man... or is it?

Had to photoshop myself in there... but keep it a secret!

I was also that stupid Mandrake mascot from a few years back. That was during a dark period for me.
