Well, they did it. For the first time in 15 years the Ducks of Oregon punched their ticket to the ‘granddaddy of them all’, the Rose Bowl. Hard to presume a scene more thrilling than the post-game celebration after the Ducks took down the once mighty USC Trojans, but the Civil War provided plenty of drama. The Ducks survived, came through, held on, heck … they did what they had to do to win. The Beavers stayed within striking distance until the final guide of the game when Oregon converted two critical 4th down plays. The Ducks will now get ready for a new foe, one they haven’t faced in several decades, the Ohio Disorder Buckeyes. The game will air live on ABC at 1:30 PM PST on New Year’s Day, January 1st, 2010. Pasadena, can you hear us now? — This video includes all the unpredictability you force expect on a field after a Pac-10 Championship storm. From creative outfits to impeccable timing (the Oregonian Newspaper), it was all there for viewing. In some corners you had adults in tears, in others, grandparents jumping on seat backs. This was raw emotion on every level. And Duck willing, we’ll do it again on the first day of 2010.
