A True Story

This is a true story that will bring a smile to every University of Oregon Duck Fan. Last night the Ducks played the U$C Trojans in basketball in Los Angeles.

The best part of the game, aside from the Duck's victory was that at halftime. The Trojans run a contest where they chose a USC student (he was wearing a yellow USC t-shirt like the rest of the students) to try and make a lay-up, 3-point shot and a half -court shot before the play clock expires. Well this kid happened to hit all 3 shots for a $10,000 scholarship to USC, but the kicker is after he hit the half-court shot the crowd went wild and this kid was jumping around and proceeded to take his yellow USC t- shirt off and underneath his shirt was a green University of Oregon basketball jersey. Classic. Regardless the crowd went from cheering to booing very quickly. Apparently this kid is from Oregon going to U$C. He then ran over to Jerry Allen, who was broadcasting the game on radio for the Ducks and shook his hand and told Allen he listens to all of Oregon's radio broadcasts of Duck games. Go Ducks!
