USC at Oregon: The Day In Pictures

Oregon fan in costume

By JOHN P. WISE
One Great Season

EUGENE, Oregon -- Last week was a pretty interesting one for me. I had credential requests in at both Oregon and Oklahoma State, but hadn't heard back from either, so I just rolled the dice and booked a surprisingly cheap one-way flight last Sunday for Eugene on Monday.

And just as I pulled my rental car up to the fine folks at Enterprise, hustling into the airport to make my cross-country trek, the Blackberry beeped and it was Oregon University telling me they had no room on the sideline for me for Saturday's game at Autzen Stadium against USC.

And then a day or two later, I checked my Junk e-mail folder and found that my credential request for Texas-Oklahoma State had been approved.

But I stayed in Eugene and hit a practice one day, and took in the town for a few more, and was invited by a nice bartender to buy his extra ticket at face value. So my dude Tim and I hit the game yesterday, and I was lucky to learn first-hand what all the fuss is about at Autzen Stadium. It really was the zoo I heard it was going to be, and add to that the fact that many were rockin' some unusual Halloween looks.

So if you want some USC-Oregon visuals, here are some pictures from the game -- most from 38 rows up -- and more images of UO fans sporting their holiday finest. And of course, check back Monday for an updated Hot Girls of College Football gallery.

This was an awesome game. Stanford U nailed it. This game made me a fan of Sanford U's running back Toby (#7). He brought back memories of J. Riggins/Washington Red Skins and Larry C/Miami Dolphins Super Bowl winners and undefeated team (don't remember the exact spelling of Larry C's last name but you know that he was a legend in the late 60s and early 70s). I remember seeing the taps of old Dolphins with Larry C. Toby (#7) has that ability too.

Big kudos to the Stanford U Front LINEMEN. They rocked! Totally protected the QB. Opened wholes for Toby- RB.

I hung out with the Oregon Ducks. Some of the best fans that you could hang out with. Full of energy. Respectful. Cool party people from the up in the NW!!!
