Description

Whether rediscovering the best team moments, or initiating into the histories and traditions of Ducks fandom, this book about the University of Oregon football team is both a useful resource and cherishable memorabilia. Packed with anecdotes of the players, explanations about the beginnings of rivalries and traditions, detailed histories about the greatest players and moments in the school's history, lists of the most successful seasons, recaps of the most exciting games ever played, and year-by-year statistics, this collectible book is the primary source for anyone eager to be an expert regarding anything about the Ducks. The book captures the essence of what it means to be a true Oregon fan: Autzen Stadium, the swoosh, crossing the Willamette River via the Autzen Footbridge, All-Americans, the uniforms, and the one and only Donald Duck.
