Your #16 Oregon Ducks!!!

Amazing game yesterday! Great job with getting loud, cheering, yelling "O," and everything else yesterday. We really made a difference in pumping up our guys! Just a few things. In the future, PLEASE, do not start an "overrated" chant. It is not classy and can easily come back to bite us. Secondly, in regards to rushing the field, you will all know if we are doing it. If you don't hear it coming from the front of the Student Section (Pit Crew leaders are in the front of 8 and 7), then do not push. We're not doing it.

Next week should be a good confidence booster for us against WSU. Everyone should be just as loud and cheer just as hard for this weeks game as they did for the Cal game! As I said, it really helps pump up our players and make then go to the next level.

Go Ducks,

California @ Oregon, THIS SATURDAY!!!!

Hey Ducks Fans,

This weekends game is a big one. Not only is it our first Pac-10 game, but it is also a game against a top 10 team (#6). We need everyone to be as loud as possible. Cal has struggled in the past not only on the road, but in Autzen, so let's make sure that they have the most difficult time they have ever had here this Saturday!

A few things to keep in mind. First, good sportsmanship. We all get into it in the heat of the moment, but try to keep good sportsmanship in mind. This is a nationally televised game (ABC). When interacting with Cal fans before and after the game, keep this in mind. Secondly, this will be the first game for many students, as the dorms have just opened up and move-in has just finished. If this will be your first game, look to the front of Sections 7 and 8 to the Pit Crew leaders (the Insane-O's in Section 8, myself in Section 7) to figure out what chants, cheers, etc we will be doing.

Let's hope for a great game and an awesome start to Pac-10 play!!!

Go Ducks,

Purdue Game

Great job to everyone who came to the Purdue game last night! The student section was awesome (especially once it started raining) and everyone really got into it! Remember, if you aren't sure of what to do when people are chanting and cheering when the band plays songs, ("School's Out," the "Hey" song, etc) or when certain on-field things happen, look to the bottom on section 6 and section 7 for help. Everyone up front knows what to do.

Great job and let's do it again on Saturday!!!!

Go Ducks,
