I want to hear what makes you love this game that we all are so passionate about. Back stories on your fandom, your Saturday rituals and traditions, stories en sech.
What makes you love this game more than anything else sports related?
For me, a long long time Oregon Duck fan it is all about the comradery at the tailgate with friends and family anticipating the march into Autzen Stadium.
The food, the drinks, and most of all the people. The opposing teams fans are always a blast to get to know. Inviting them over for a beer and bite to eat... getting to know them and their team from an insiders point of view is a true passion of mine.
You wait for your tickets in the mail then they arrive. Nothing is better than that first game of the year. The 2 hour drive to Eugene down I-5 is awesome. All the Duck flags and GO Ducks chants from fans all the way down. Pulling into the tailgate lot that me and several friends have been parking in for 15+ years is surreal.
Every season holds its ups and downs. Win or lose, it ultimately doesnt matter for what I take away from these Saturdays that I live for. The memories created are truly priceless. With Oregon's recent success, sure... it has been a little bit funner and definitely a wild experience. But if Oregon returned to a .500 team I can guarantee you that our crew would be at the games and do the exact same things we always have. Heck, for the majority of my near 20 years of attending games, my team hasnt been exactly stellar as a whole.
Now, we wait. We build anticipation that by August will have us in a frenzy for that opening kickoff.
Good Luck in 2014 CFB fans. What do you love about this great game?
