The BIC Comfort 3® Advance® green screen - BIC Comfort 3® Advance® razors will have a green screen where students can have their pictures taken and emailed to them with their image placed into a Slam Dunk scenario; also anyone who comes to the tour will get a free Bic razor to take home

The Foot Locker 3-point shoot out - there will be a men's and a women's division; students will take 3 point shots from 5 different spots around the arc. 4 balls per spot with the 5th ball counting for 2 points. Highest score in the men's and women's division throughout the day takes home Foot Locker $$$ Gift Cards.

The Bic Slam Dunk competition - students can sign up to enter the 8' and 9' dunk competition during the 1st 2 hours of the event. Winner of each division takes home $400 in AMEX gift cards and runners-up in each division take home a $100 AMEX gift card.

The Foot Locker Knock-Out to the money machine - throughout the event, we will be running knock out contests for as many students that want to jump in. The winner from each round of knock-out gets to go into the "money machine" and try to grab as much cash as possible in a limited amount of time.

Tons of other FREE gift cards and prizes including an Autographed UO Men's Team Basketball & Autographed UO Team Football.

Pit Crew Meeting

Our next Pit Crew meeting, to plan for the Washington schools next week, will occur on Sunday January 11th at 5:00 in the EMU Fishbowl. We will be done in time for everyone to go home and reserve tickets online for both games at 8:00.

All students are encouraged to attend and provide ideas. We're looking for chants that DON'T follow a typical cadence such as "clap, clap--clap, clap, clap" and things we can chant based on what's happening in the game. Ideas for things such as: bad calls, turnovers, missed free throws, lots of shots taken, etc. that we can teach and use throughout the game are ideal. Come to the meeting prepared and start finding information on both teams right away.

Students who submit the 3 best ideas for each game throughout the season will receive NIKE gift cards and/or Oregon merchandise. We're also looking for students wanting to become more involved who are willing to lead chants in each section. Students will receive items for their service. Any student interested should attend Sunday's meeting for more information.

Good Effort Today

Just wanted to commend the Pit Crew for the effort today. I thought everyone was into the game like we haven't seen since last years UCLA game and the behavior was pretty good. Specifically, the swearing is way down from last year and the chants are way louder. I thought the throwing of "Green Magic" before tip-off was executed well, although it would have been better had it stayed in the Pit Crew and not gotten on the court.

We need to continue improving and, to do this, we need both better chants and more participation from students sitting in the corner sections. Students who submit the 3 best ideas or chants for each game, at least 3 days prior to the game, will be given NIKE gear or gift cards. Additionally, students who routinely submit great ideas will possibly earn access to the NIKE employee store at the end of the season.

The next home game is January 15th against Washington and we need to start compiling ideas right away to prepare. If you have any inside information on UW players, funny themes, or innovative chants, please send them to pitcrew1@uoregon.edu. Also, feel free to utilize the Pit Crew message board which can be accessed from the home page.

Go Ducks!
