Eugene Oregon resident here. The reason they’re called the Ducks is that they were originally called the webfoots, due to all of the wet weather here. Walt Disney came up here in 1950 or so to visit his in-laws, and visited the university and liked it so much that he made them a licensing deal to use a Donald Duck like character as the mascot. They had a sort of hand shake deal that lasted fifty years. The only stipulation was that they couldn’t call him “Donald”, so the official name is “puddles”. This is definitely a company town, and that company is Nike.
Player only get MONDAYS OFF from FB training. And many will still come in on Monday for rehab or extra volunteer film study . They live in their sports facilities. Plus school schedule ! Its a huge commitment. Games every Saturday. Away games they fly out Friday early afternoon, 1 night in hotel then fly back Saturday night after game. Right back on Sunday with light lift, film study & practice. Sunday is for correction, injuries and just to work lactic acid out. Tuesday starts a new week of practice for Saturdays game. 20 hrs per week not including "volunteer" film study or technique work which is pretty much expected.
They sleep at the School in dorms or apartments off campus that the university has contracts with. During season when guys have classes, they typically will always be in the locker room or in the building somewhere. College football is typically. Get up. Go to workout with the team. Go to Class. Go to practice. Go to meeting. Go to tutorials or study hall. Then back home to sleep or do homework. Some cases, its more convenient to just sleep at the facility since its on campus
Something funny I noticed when the young lad was showing him the lockers, he pulled the top part down with the shoulder pads on it. It was like 2 feet above his head. LOL took me a minute to realize it's because the dudes using that are like 6'5, 6' 6".....LOL
It’s the most disciplined sport, you have to have mental strength and physical strength and your body has to be able to play each weekend. Most of us start at 5 years old, you have to keep your weight up and keep your physical attributes speed and strength close to 100%. Gain weight, you lose speed, lose muscle mass and you lose strength. Also the body needs to heal from the season, that is broken bones, bruising, pulled muscles, torn ligaments, on top of that you have to remember your playbook and position and your school work. It’s a lifestyle and you don’t hangout with your friends and family and it’s dedication to the sport and the brotherhood with your teammates and opponents, years and years of hard work and sacrifices, just to play on Friday night in front of large crowds and playing college football is rare and it’s only a few that even get a chance to play or get a scholarship.
Hey Daz, they just wear different helmets and uniforms for different games. Many school don't switch other than road and away unis/helmets. Oregon is def the leader of the "new school" wave and loves to introduce new uniforms constantly. Having the founder of Nike as head donor def helps with that!
Since Aidan is a basketball guy, show him the basketball videos that Royal Key did. There's Duke, North Carolina, Dallas Mavericks and the Warriors among others
Phil Knight is not the "founder" of the University, which is a crazy claim to see considering it was founded in the 1870s. He's one of however many notable alumni and donates a lot of money. You could name pretty much any large university, particularly those with a high level athletics program (regardless of which sport or sports they're most known for) and you're guaranteed to have some famous, very wealthy alumni funneling beaucoup cash into the athletics department.
College football in my opinion is better than the NFL. There is more passion for it. When you have like over 300 division one college teams there is a lot more pride from those cities for where there from. There are only 32 NFL teams and just think about how many cities are all across the US.
Phil Knight the founder of Nike went to Oregon so he hooks them up with some awesome gear. Oregon has NEVER worn the same uniform twice which is crazy.
Not actually true. They wear the same jerseys and pants all the time. They just mix and match and change certain details like helmets, shoes and socks etc.
While Oregon is backed by Phil Night/Nike and has an exuberant amount of money, Alabama has a lot more hardware and jewelry to flash. Plus with all of Alabama's success I'm sure they have a very similar budget. You spoke on the sliding magnifier for the rings. Oregon could not do that because they have 0 National Championships to Alabama's 13! The prestige of Alabama football far outweighs that of Oregon football. Oregon Football is known for their innovative and creative jersey combinations, and in the early 2000's-2010's their up-tempo play calling paired with extremely fast athletes. Oregon is also known as Track Town USA because of their storied history of Track and Field athletes. A lot of Oregon Football players participate in both Football and Track and Field. Most players who choose Oregon do so because of the Nike backing, innovating uniforms, and the fast style of play that Oregon offers.
University of Washington in Seattle has a great stadium. Lake Washington had hundreds of boats show up for the game and you can see Mount Ranier. It's stunning. Love your family, I have watched 4 video so far. Lucky man! ❤️✌️
I sadly witnessed Oregon getting wupped hard by Washington up at the U in 1999. 80,000 people showed up and I did see Phil Knight making his way down to field to say hello to the Oregon players during the game. Nike has 5 corporate jets on stand by. The hanger is right down the road for where I live.
If you’re a scholarship student-athlete at an American university you’re spending most of your time at the athletic facility These athletes, despite also being students at that university, don’t actually mingle too much with the regular non-athlete students
Love the videos you guys put out! I’m a lifelong Ducks fan and I would love and hope you guys commit to being Oregon fans cause our time is coming to be national champions soon. If u guys come over to America and wanna go to a college football I highly recommend making a pit stop to Eugene Oregon and watch the ducks play they have arguably the loudest stadium in the country it’s a at least top 3!🦆
Ducks have undoubtedly a top 5 stadium. People underestimate us because we are west coast and only a 54k capacity stadium but our stadium can strike the fear into anyone
I'm sure this facility was THE first big facility. Alabama and the rest have improved on this and made their own mark. This is going on 10 years old I think...
I work at the "executive" portion of the Eugene airport and Phil Knight comes through here a lot. He's a pretty nice guy all in all, at least to us "regular" people. Lol, he's also a huge donor to the academic part of the university as well.
Yeah, that place is awesome. I went to football camp there in high school. Amazing facility. Also yes, Phil Knight the founder of Nike is an alumni of University of Oregon. Good review blokes.
Notre Dame For College Football. Indiana University for College Basketball. (College basketball finals Is still the best Tournament in All of American Sports,hands down)
College football is bigger than the NFL in places where they don't have the NFL or their NFL team has been bad for a long time and the college team has been good for a long time (e.g., Michigan). Alabama has no NFL team--they just have the minor leagues of football, which is college football--U of Alabama, Auburn, same with Mississippi, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Nebraska--no NFL team, just kids/amateurs in college. I love college football, but why would I want to watch that over the best in the world in the NFL where the quality of play is much higher--and, also more competitive. Ideal states to live in really are those with strong NFL and college teams--Ohio, Pennsylvania come to mind.
I'm definitely a college football fan...and not so much NFL. I really don't care about pro-football. I'm an Oregon Ducks fan, although I graduated from the Univ of Washington--so a Husky. Washington is awesome as well, but there's something unique and engaging about the Ducks. I have to be careful though when I visit family in Seattle. I'm not allowed in the house if I'm wearing a Ducks cap. LOL! I have to take it off before my family let's me come in. ;-)
PhIl Knight has donated over 1 Billion through the years to just Oregon... football is only 1 small fraction, check out the basketball or track and Field facilities..
The University of Oregon was like the Man City of College Football for awhile. We would dominate the Pac 10/12 but was never able to win a National Title like City with the Champions League. People around the country either like the Ducks or hate them, no in between pretty much like City.
I went to University of Orgeon School of Law. THe year after I graduated it was renamed the Phil Knigh School of Law, as he paid for the new law school building.
Aiden should have gone to an American university rather than in the UK. It would have given him a more "worldly" (is that a word? You know what I mean) perspective of what's out there!!!!
The Oregon Ducks shoe is called a "P.E." stands for Players exclusive. Meaning only the players get these shoes and they are not realesed to the public. They are very valuable. Exclusives.
College football is better NFL it's all heart and soul since American football started NFL not that much passion franchise move team from creating the passion for sport it's money making more then football NFL
as for time in the locker rooms. Don't forget these are students, they have classes to go to and have practice daily so they will go there whenever they want. They have practice, but also weight training, film room work. So if you have access you take advantage. perks. The other students don't have these sorts of options. They are just regular students.
i will say about the locker rooms… i played D3 so nothing compared to this one but we’d just sit in the lockerroom for 4 hours after practice talkin lol… they want to make the locker rooms nice enough for a getaway for the players…
Oregon’s facilities are still ranked 1st nationally in college football facilities, despite it being 10yrs old, and having other schools spending far more for their facilities. But based on inflation, and the increased costs of building materials and construction/work crews…the Oregon facilities would easily cost twice as much in 2022/23. Also, it was said that the project actually went over budget when it was completed, and they ended up spending $138Million in 2012, not $68M. That would cost $250M today, on the conservative end. They’re about to start construction on an indoor practice field with a see through Oregon O roof, which will cost an estimated $250M. At $260M, that also equals what the world famous Hayward Field costs. And those facilities are second to none, since they host the world championships, the USA track qualifications for the Olympics, and of course, the Pre Classic, where the top track athletes come to compete yearly. Phil Knight also built the most expensive college basketball arena-Matt Knight Arena as well for Oregon, and just spent $1Billion on a the knight science campus. Oregon also has a machine that heats up your cleats, and when you put your foot in, it molds to your foot. There’s only three of them in existence, and one is in Eugene, Or. Walt Disney and the former Dean of Oregon went to college together, and he gave his friend the okay to use a similar looking version to Donald Duck. The Oregon Duck mascot is just known as “The Duck” though…even though people sometimes call him puddles…but that was the name of the live Duck mascot from a long time ago.
Re sleep pods: As a student the campus is pretty large and you probably don't live on campus past your first year so going home after you've been on there is a trek. Also your schedule can be wild. In grad school i was up to 2 most nights, and a couple of days had 8 am classes. And that meant being up by 6:30 to make it. Meaning I didn't get 8 hours. most nights. I'd take a nap in the lounge couches many days and i wasn't remotely alone. You saw many students who were on a few hours sleep but had an 8-10 AM class sleeping from 10 to 11 just to get some zzz. We'd have loved to have a sleep room to go into and not essentially sleep in an arm chair or a couch near a student common area.
Aiden: They spend hours in those facilities. During fall camp you’re talking 14+ hours. Also the coaches want them in there studying and preparing in their free time during the season. So they put all kinds of amenities to make kids want to stay around the facilities. And to flex. Ha
Not a bad time to be a Georgia bulldogs fan, going for a 3rd straight national championship, they also put 80 million dollars into the football facility, not sure if there is a video tour of it though
@@tommartin4501 went to sunset class of 1980. Ran track part of the state champs in girls track 1978. Nike came to our school during one of our practices and had us give them our opinions of the new waffle trainers and spikes. Gosh so long ago😳. Now my granddaughter will be attending sunset next year. Her mom and dad also graduated from sunset.
@7:45 Oregon has an exclusive right to use Donald Duck's likeness basically in perpetuity. Thanks to the former AD Leo Harris' friendship with a Disney animator he was able to meet with Walt Disney himself and reach an informal agreement that let Oregon use Donald as their mascot provided he met Disney's standards of behavior. It would later be officialized and Puddles, as he's now known, became the permanent mascot and a beloved one at that.
@@cjcurtis8944 Yes, I know that officially he's just "The Duck" but I just said that he's known as Puddles since that's what a lot of people tend to call him regardless of his official status. What he's referred to colloquially tends to vary depending on the era you grew up in but I think we can all agree on one thing; The Mandrake was a horrible, horrible mistake and should be scrubbed from Oregon's history forever.
Most schools now have many different uniform combinations that are both fan and player favorites that can be traced back to Phil Knight and the Oregon Ducks. Gone are the days of teams having two uniforms where they wore white at home and solid color on the road. Now its pretty much anything goes.

While true, you're definitely not wrong, this wasn't a stadium video. It wasn't comparing any stadium versus others. This was a facility video.

Article on the best facilities, Oregon ranked 1st.
I think the Alabama locker room is newer than the Oregon LR.
If you want to support a team in blue and white, look no further than the Penn State Nittany Lions
I’m a Kansas City native, hate to break it to em but we actually host the loudest stadium in the nation.
The basketball shoes you guys were looking at are Jordans.

What he's referred to colloquially tends to vary depending on the era you grew up in but I think we can all agree on one thing; The Mandrake was a horrible, horrible mistake and should be scrubbed from Oregon's history forever.
Most schools now have many different uniform combinations that are both fan and player favorites that can be traced back to Phil Knight and the Oregon Ducks. Gone are the days of teams having two uniforms where they wore white at home and solid color on the road. Now its pretty much anything goes.
White is away jersey solid is home
