If Football Were Beer, Oregon Would Crush Alabama
I have a grave fear about tonight. (This owes more to being principally a fan of the Badgers, Blazers, Packers, and Red Sox than anything.) As a pre-emptive strike--or maybe a diversionary tactic--I offer one way in which Oregon absolutely trounces the Yellowhammer state: beer. We're number one, we're number one!

Fun Fact: Auburn used to have a brewpub near the campus. It closed and the brewing equipment can now be found in Prosser, WA at Horse Heaven Hills Brewery. So, it is more than likely that people will be cheering on the Ducks in Prosser whilst enjoying beer brewed on former Auburn brewing equipment. Take that Cam Newton!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to me that for their lack of breweries (or our bounty), that they essentially drink the same amount as we do. I guess we know where the big 3's sales numbers continue to come from...
ReplyDeleteI reckon Chip Kelly has developed a scheme by which Oregon will prevail. [Think Pete Carroll.]
ReplyDeleteI will be watching the game in the sub-tropic climes of Gulf Coast central Florida. I will be enjoying bombers of Heater Allen Pilsner purchased at the brewery expressly for the journey.
Go Ducks.
Uggh. Unfortunately, footballl's football.
ReplyDeleteIf cheerleaders were football, Oregon totally crushed Auburn last night.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the ABV consumed by Oregonians is higher, too.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party, but I found Oregon football to be too risky and experimental to win the day. The opportunities were there, but they got cute and it backfired.
ReplyDeleteBoth teams were sloppy.
