Portland Duck Lovers Hang Tough in Championship Form

Arlington, Texas, January 12, 2015. Thousands of University of Oregon supporters traveled 1,600 miles to witness history in the making at the first ever national college championship game. Christi Goodman enjoyed the game with Puddles the Duck and Anh Thu Nguyen. It was a who’s who of duck lovers and although fans left disappointed by the 42 to 20 final score, which gave the Ohio State Buckeyes the national title over the ducks, fans wore their green and yellow proudly all the way home. Here are some of our favorites images:
