EUGENE, Ore. — It’s the moment Duck fans have been waiting for all season.
“I’m absolutely stoked,” said Stephen Woodworth, a Duck fan.
“I don’t think it gets much better than this, right?” said Duck fan, Jenny DeLuca.
With the Oregon Ducks football team heading to the Rose Bowl, fans are hitting the campus Duck Store to stock up.
“I just want to get my hands on some playoffs stuff. I definitely want to get my hands on that,” said Woodworth.
“I’m just going to check out the gear and see what they’ve got. I definitely like stocking up on Ducks gear,” said Andrew Bet.
“I’m sending some stuff to my brother in New Hampshire. He’s a big fan and he’s back there, so I’m going to get them geared out. I’ll be buying some stuff too,” said DeLuca.
Store employees say the foot traffic has increased significantly—full of eager fans.
They got the first look at the newest playoff goods: t-shirts, hats, and hoodies. For some, they’re not just grabbing gear; they’re looking to snag seats in Pasadena as well.
“Being from the bay area, I’ll be down there for Christmas. I won’t be too far away for Pasadena so I’m going to try and see if I can somehow get down there,” said Woodworth.
“I’m looking at getting tickets, maybe as a Christmas from my parents,” said Bet.
They say the recent win over Arizona in the PAC-12 championships has sparked even more excitement for fans, leaving them confident against Florida State on New Year’s Day.
“They’re on a roll. They’ve got momentum. If they can keep that up during the month break, I don’t think anyone can beat them,” said DeLuca.
“If the defense plays like it did against Arizona, I feel like they can make the seminoles make a few mistakes,” said Woodworth.
“The Ducks have just shown it all season so I believe we’re going to go in there and get the victory,” said Bet.
