Fighting Ducks against the sky
Tall indeed.
These are men who jump so high
LaMike
Men who mean just what they say
“I intend to return to school simply to hang another half a hundred on the nasty Beavers. Peace out, and Go Ducks.”
The brave men of the Green Brigade
1917 Rose Bowl Champs
Trained to live on Husky meat
Mmmmm….
Washington they’re sure to beat
Fleeing town.
Men who fight by day and night
Under the lights.
Listen not, to Herbie’s hype
“I think the Huskies will be strong this year. Want a brat?”
Put silver wings on my son’s chest
Or at least on his pads.
Make him one of Oregon’s best
Dennis Dixon
Give him everything he needs
Yes, he needs this.
Keep him clear of Cliffy’s weed.
Coming legally to a state near you.

Kim Hastings is a 1984 graduate of Northwest Christian College. He cut his journalistic teeth as sports editor of a paper in his home town of Fortuna, CA, and, later as a columnist for the Longview Daily News in Longview, WA.
He saw his first Oregon game in 1977 and never missed a home game from 1981 until a bout with pneumonia cut his streak short in 1997. He was one of the proud 3200 on a bitterly cold night in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1989 for the Independence Bowl, and continues to be big supporter of Oregon sports. He is an active participant on the various Oregon Ducks messageboards as “TacomaDuck.”
We will be publishing between four and six articles per week during the football season, as we skip Saturdays with all the distraction of GameDay for us. Check through the week, and in particular check for Analysis articles on most Fridays.
The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there. At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.
Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!
OBD Forum members….we got your back. No Trolls Allowed!
