It’s all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out, or until Oregon decides to give a game to its chief rival.
Oregon let a 31-10 lead slip away and lost 38-34 to Oregon State in Corvallis. Even Santa Claus was seen tailgating at Reser Stadium and hopefully for the Ducks’ sake, good ol’ Saint Nick didn’t stay for the game or a lot of Ducks will be on his naughty list.
There was plenty to cheer at for the few Oregon fans that were able to get tickets into the venue that is in the middle of a major renovation. Only about 26,000 were able to see the game live and the vast majority were happy in the end, but none were wearing green and yellow.
Here’s the 126th edition of the Oregon-OSU football rivalry game in photos.
