Why I’m a Fan of the Oregon State Beavers

My story starts with a confession.

During my impressionable teen years, I was a hardcore Duck fan. Before you persecute me, understand that this is a difficult admission. I was in high school when Joey Harrington was leading the Duck football team and the Lukes were the state’s famed basketball duo. My brother was going to school at the U of O as well, filling my head with his fond memories of attending football games at Autzen.

I wasn’t the kind of Duck fan that just hated the Beavers, though. When the Beavers weren’t playing the Ducks I rooted for them to do well, too.
