Utah vs Oregon

Since we are die hard Utah fans, we drove all the way to Eugene, Oregon to watch the Utes battle the Ducks. We left from Salt Lake drove to Burley, Idaho to pick up Adam and his wife Genn then continued our 10 hour drive to Portland, Oregon. I had no idea that you can't pump your own gas in Oregon. I thought that was the strangest thing. We headed down to Eugene on Saturday to watch the game and of course it rained the entire time. Although the Utes lost, we still had a great time. We got to see a Oregon fan get peppered sprayed and the people they hire for crowd control, I'm not sure where they find them. Anyways here are some pics from our trip. As you can see we had great seats. Thats right row 5.

This is how Oregon fans decorate their cars. They all those pom poms hanging out the trunk area.





As Doug would say " They have a flaggette"

Oregon's Motto: "Putting Oregon back to work." They weren't kidding

That's so funny! My parents live in Corvallis so we are Beaver fans, the Ducks are our arch rivals. Most of the people are pretty "tree huggerish"/earth muffins types in Oregon for sure. It was so funny to get your perspective:) Don't worry, none of us are Oregon natives so we totally get where you are comin' from. It's just different there:)
