DucksflyinPAC Answer[ed] Questions And/Or Refute[d] Ridiculous Claims

[Sgt_Nick_Fury]

Oregon fans drive Priuses.

But they don't wear Jorts!!!!!

 

[oregonblitzkrieg]

I actually really liked Coach Butch's mini press speech at the end.... Esp, "It takes discipline to go on the road, playing a tremendous opponent, a great opponent in a hostile environment..." Yes it does coach. And we will see this Saturday if you have that discipline. For not only do we come at you with great misdirection and that takes mighty discipline to not be fooled. But our fans are literally a few feet away from your players. They will hear it from our fans taunting them and it will seem like the whole Stadium too is right on top of your guys driving them crazy. And your players ears will ring for many hours after the game. But the fans right behind your sidelines are so close to talk to you- you hearing every such word when we are on Offense, whisper quiet in the stadium. Basically, it will be hell for your players. Our fans will drive them crazy, the noise. And our super tiny, super crappy visitors locker-room, and the painful long plane-ride back home. Your fans flying in will have fun, for at least they get to tailgate with cool Ducks. However, it will be hell on earth for your players. Their ears will still be hurting badly when they arrive back in Knoxville. Autzen Stadium a visiting players single worse nightmare! Down in the pit of hell...I feel bad for what your players are going to go through...If you only knew...

You should stop acting like you represent all duck fans, idiot. Besides you are from Portland. Your team is Portland State, and they suck. Your ignorance shows in that thread you started about what Tennessee fans should do when coming to Oregon. One of the first things you listed was skipping Eugene and coming up to your trashy city. The ducks play in Eugene, not up there. Bandwagon trash.

 

[bisonduck]

Lol

UT has the Vol Navy. Oregon should start The Bicycle Brigade. They could all meet at a coffee shop and then ride into Autzen together in a huge line.

The problem is that they'd protest that should be able to ride in the nude. You're probably thinking what's the problem? Well, if you want to look at fat unshaven women be my guest.

If we are gonna go hippie meme, let's do it right.

 

[govols105]

Seems like alot of them are running their mouths claiming they are the best team ever, while they are good, i think most oregon fans are like tree hugging hippies, except for the "Ax Men" who cut trees for a living. I am sure they think we are people with only one tooth but they be wrong about that they in the wrong state afterall the toothbrush was invented in alabama. Go Vols!! Shut them oregon fans up with your play on the field!!!

 

[GahLee]

You're not helping with that perception.

It will definitely be a culture clash for any SEC fan base making the trip out to Eugene.

In all seriousness, though, Oregon would be a fun road trip. I bet the UT fans who are making the trip will enjoy it.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

I hope we shut a lot of people up sat including some of our own fans if that's what you want to call some of them!

We are an eclectic bunch. Fans flock from all over the state and we have a real political divide. The Willamette valley is really liberal but you go outside of it and it's very conservative.

Freaking HATE bandwagon fans. Amazing how many bammer stickers and tags have been popping up in middle TN the last several years. I've even heard stories of UT "fans" switching to bama. I can't even think about cheering for anyone other than UT. Period. I don't even have a second favorite team like some.

Others that annoy me are the people that say I'm a bama fan in football and a uk/duke fan in basketball or whatever. Gtfo with that ish! I cheer for the Big Orange in every damn sport.

Seems like most of the Duck fans we have visiting our site have been respectful and courteous and haven't been overbearing. And other Oregon boards have been saying the same thing we have. "Hoping for a good game and our team wins."

BTW, when you are #2 in the nation and undefeated with a potential for a NC drive, you are allowed to have a little swagger. I'm reasonably certain we aren't going to be any different when it comes to our time.

Exactly. I would never buy anything Alabama. Can't stand them. If I had a second favorite team, I'd pick a little known underdog, like Virginia, who we played last week. They're not very well known but their fans and their team has great spirit.

FYI, we are one of 4 charter members of our Conference. UO, OSU, UW, CAL, all met in my city to form the PCC- Pacific Coast Conference, the name before it change to PAC,,,,,PAC-8, PAC-10 ect... USC, UCLA, WSU, Stanford, all the rest joined in the years shortly after. High level of football. We have seen it for over a 100 years with USC. Not to mention our people formed the very best Bowl game ever- The Rose Bowl- Father of all Bowl games. That game and idea was copied by every other Conference and even the Super "Bowl". And our Conference has more titles then any other Conference in all sports. The BigTen is #2 with over 200 titles short of us. Dude, we know sports. We know football. And while personally we have sucked for most of our history. Go back and check the last 20 years... We have won more then even USC...lutz

hmmm is this what you are talking about ?

Which conference has the most NCAA football national championships? - Yahoo! Answers

it seems the Ivy league leads all time of course that is 6 years old and I can't wait till Saturday and see the Ducks with no tail feathers :hi:

 

[governmentmule]

True, but are any SEC stadiums so close to the players as ours? I don't think so. Our field is super tiny on both sides of the field. There is hardly any room for the teams. And no in-between the hedges thing for us. Nope, our field is down in a pit. And the fans are literally right almost on top of the visiting players only a couple feet away.

What Coaches Have Said

"The biggest mistake people made going in there was trying to instigate the crowd and say bring it on, because they brought it on and usually it was followed by three illegal procedure penalties after that." - Jeff Tedford, Cal Head Coach

Kiffin said Oregon's Autzen Stadium is the loudest stadium in the country, a bold claim - especially after he made trips to Tuscaloosa (Alabama) and Gainesville (Florida) last year.
"I still think Autzen Stadium is louder than all those (Alabama, Florida) places" - Lane Kiffin, USC Head Coach

"That's the loudest stadium I've ever been in." - Lloyd Carr, former Michigan Head Coach

"You know, the noise is one aspect, but you can feel the intensity of their crowd." - Pete Carroll, Former USC Head Coach

"I can assure you that the stories are not overblown. In my travels, I've been to at least 90 different stadiums for college football games, the two loudest places I've ever been to are Autzen Stadium and at Syracuse in the (Carrier) Dome. It is extremely loud." - Dirk Koetter, Former ASU Head Coach

What Players Have Said

Adrian Peterson shook his helmeted head and slapped his earholes. But the ringing wouldn't stop.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOO..."
As the Oklahoma Sooners stood in the tunnel of Autzen Stadium ready to hit the field, the walls around them vibrated like a tuning fork. The air felt thick with what sounded like a World War I biplane parked under the goalpost 15 yards in front of them.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOO..."
"It was like some sort of crazy torture in the movies. How do people do that so long without taking a breath? I think my ears are still ringing." – Former Oklahoma Running Back, Adrian Peterson in an ESPN article

"Autzen Stadium is a combination of being super loud and how close they are. From my memory, it felt like it was 10 feet between the sideline and the crowd. No crowd usually gets to me. Oregon is the only one that stands out in my mind that has gotten to me. I was just like, 'Shut up!'" – Former Cal Running Back, Jahvid Best

"The biggest thing I remember about that game is the crowd. The crowd noise is crazy up there. Honestly, any other away game I don't really even hear the crowd. Oregon was the only place where it really got on my nerves." - Former Cal Running Back, Jahvid Best

What the Media Has Said

"Autzen Stadium is the most intimidating college football stadium in the nation." – Matt Hayes, The Sporting News

"Sitting in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon's Autzen Stadium is one of college football's hidden jewels. Before kickoff, Autzen is as peaceful as the Willamette River, which runs through Eugene just a few minutes from the stadium. After kickoff, the fans – even the alumni – forget who they are, where they come from and what their degree is in. The audience adopts a new collective identity for the next three-and-a-half hours: the 12th, 13th and 14th man. Autzen's 59,000 strong make the Big House collectively sound like a pathetic whimper. It's louder than any place I've ever been, and that includes "The Swamp" at Florida, "The Shoe" in Columbus and "Death Valley" at Louisiana State. Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." – J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily

"So loud, I can't hear the phone for two days." - Keith Jackson, ABC

"If you've never been to a game at Autzen Stadium, do yourself a favor and get there soon. One word for the experience. Loud. Hurt your ears loud. Make them bleed loud. The Big Ten has nothing as loud as Autzen." – BigTenTailgate.com

"Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon where the Oregon Ducks play all of their home games has a seating capacity of guess what, 55,000. The loudest decibel reading that was ever recorded during a football game was at a game at Autzen Stadium. This is the best home field advantage in ALL of college football! Sorry SEC and the Big Ten. It is louder than Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, and Tennessee, all of which can hold more than 100,000 fans on game day. Think about it. Oregon fans can make more noise than stadiums twice their size. ... So how can a smaller stadium crowd make more noise than those huge places, and even be louder than Sanford Stadium at UGA? Because they know when to cheer and how to be effective in doing it!" - Michael Goldfeder, isportsweb

"I'm back to list the overall top 10 most intimidating stadiums in the nation. ... For the overall top 10, it's back to the basics - the 10 most intimidating stadiums for one game and one game only:"

Autzen Stadium, Oregon
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Florida
Kyle Field, Texas A&M
Tiger Stadium, LSU
Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State
Ohio Stadium, Ohio State
Lane Stadium, Virginia Tech
Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn
Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Dame
Memorial Stadium, Nebraska

- Bruce Feldman, ESPN

Oregon Gridiron :: Autzen Stadium Quotes

tsk tsk tsk did you really quote Kiffin ? we know how truthful he really is here in Tennessee Ducksflying

lol:

 

[Honky]

I think if our boys give all for Tennessee and play from coin toss to final whistle, it will be one of the best games that we have played in a long time.

If we can stand toe to toe with the #2 team in the country, and stay within a TD losing or win; it will prove that boys in orange are back.

 

[BruiserVol]

I've been reading here for a long time and decided I'd finally join. I've been a Vol fan through and through and have nothing but pride for my home state. With that said I find it difficult to believe Autzen will truly be a shocker for our team. I know the way it is set up is loud, but our stadium is pretty good too.

Found this interesting while searching around earlier today. There are many parts to it and it's actually a good watch if you have time. It's interesting to see what their coach had to say about the game play by play. Pay attention to what he has to say about Neyland stadium from around 1:14 - 2:04.

Perhaps you should check OUR last 20 years...we have a National Championship during that time frame. How many of those Pac-Whatever titles are in water polo? Yeah, that counts...and all of about 25 people in the country watch it other than the families of the players. Kick us while we're down, the shoe will soon be on the other foot.

Mighty Women's softball was owned by the Pac-12 for eons too...

Fixed your link. Just copy the URL and put it inside [you tube] and [/you tube] but with no space in youtube.

I hope we shut a lot of people up sat including some of our own fans if that's what you want to call some of them!

[SergeantVol]

Well, what I am saying is kind of self-serving, I must admit that. I am saying you are playing flag football and wanting Oregon to play traditional football which they would most probably get their hat handed to them. However, it is a scheme that is attempting to distort what I believe football to be, maybe I am wrong, but either way I find it boring and cheap.

What you say about Chip Kelly getting more beef up front is true, he made a comment after the LSU game that "they don't grow them like that up there", referring to LSU's DL. And he was absolutely correct, what most fans don't understand out West is you need a whole 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string of trees to get through a typical SEC schedule. LSU has almost no seniors, why? because they are all in the NFL, but no rest for the wicked, we still need 3 strings of personnel to get through a season.

It's no disrespect to Oregon, but there is college football and then SEC football. There are teams that can beat the SEC teams on any given day, happens all the time, heck I think Clemson is a fine football team.... however, they already look beat to hell. Now imagine they have LSU, Bama and UF coming up in a row.

Look at Missouri, they look like they went through the washer and dryer about 1000s times last year.

I have always said there are only three conferences that matter in football. Those would be the AFC, the NFC, and the SEC.

 

[NeylandTradition]

Well, I have never ever seen another band play our fight song, not ever, not in a video of their practice, nothing. First time and it was awesome. I was grinning the whole time thinking how awefull lucky those vol players were to hear such a wonderful song!
