How it was used after we abandoned it doesn't really mean much, who cares if it is a meme now.... except for the fact that it COULD HAVE BEEN OUR MEME. Thanks for proving my point. Look at what still gets talked about.... Robo duck and Crank it like a chainsaw Yes, Phil Knights money propelled the *ucks to great success, but it would be foolish to not look at what that money was spent on. Bad marketing ploys included. The *ucks are a part of the college football landscape in the consciousness of most of america, partially because of stunts like the NYT poster, robo duck, and the blizzard of costume changes and combinations. OSU, however, is not in the minds of most college football fans. That's a problem, and we need to address it. If a quirky hype song or uniforms that kind of sorta look like bras if you squint at them (seriously those uniforms are not that bad) get us in the minds of america, then GREAT! Heck have Victoria Secret sponsor us. I guarantee that a dozen lingerie models working the club and loge levels would double season ticket donations over night

Roboduck = Randy the Logger + Crank it Like a Chainsaw
Roboduck = Part of the u of ho's story to what they are now, which is in the top 25.... not just in the rankings, which would be great, but more importantly, in the minds of most college football fans. I honestly don't remember Randy the logger, but I would be tickled pink if Crank it and BraUnis were part of what help embed us in the minds of college footballs fans everywhere, unfortunately we never stick with anything because curmudgeons complain, so we will never get to know if those things going "viral" would add eyes and attention on us. I used to guffaw at folks like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, etc, "no one needs or wants that type of attention, a flash in the pan and years of embarrassment and they will be forgotten"... Then I looked at their net-worths, then they became some of the most famous people in the world, and now I will never question the utility of going viral, or getting attention as a means to an end. But, maybe "aw shucks we have a great sleepy little college town with no personality, nothing to see here", will work too

You know what is super popular? LOGGING (32 million view):
Seriously, why does OSU, Randy The Logger, and the beavers not participating in and sponsoring timbersports?!?!?!
Stihl even has the right colors!

Roboduck > 2007 Oregon State Uniforms And Roboduck was dreadful. You can hate on "Crank It Like a Chainsaw" all you like, but I doubt that anything will ever be more embarrassing than the 2007 Oregon State uniforms. you know what? Those beavs outplayed those unis and were a force in the conference. They turned the sports bras into halter tops of FEAR The players were great. The unis sucked balls.

U of Ho fans try to forget Roboduck the same way many here to our failed marketing ploys. Certainly in no way are they known in national circles for it, nor did it have anything whatsoever to do with their football program ranking.

Last uni's to win at Autzen. Last unis to win in Autzen: Also: Correlation ≠ Causation That picture has helped me understand why I don't hate the 2007 unis as much as so many other Beaver fans do. I figured it was just because I happen to own a replica 2007 jersey (hardly ever wear it), so I "liked" it because I had to. But, no. It's because that jersey is forever linked in my mind to James Rodgers. James and the Civil War. James and the Emerald Bowl. James and the sports bra unis. I can't hate them.

Everytime I see Champ Flemings carry the ball I get a little James Rodgers shiver in me.

I have a pic of JR with young Varmit and that jersey after he signed it. Just not smart enough to figure out how to post it pretty cool though. Go Beavs!!

Neither were that bad....only on the linemen. Apparently the story was Nike only tested the jersey on smaller models, with and without pads....It's when the linemen put them on that they did an about face.

Pac12 will NOT have any 9am kickoffs in 2019!🍻 UCLA, Cal, Utah are schools interested in that start time. Plan will be revisited for 2020. Are they trying to give fans reasons to not buy tix? If they want to play each other at 9 a.m., more power to them. But if a team doesn't want to play at 9 a.m., it should have veto power should one be scheduled at UCLA, Cal or Utah.
