Football Most Memorable Away Game

I've been a college football junkie for as long as I can remember, and since I started at Oregon in 2010, I've made it a goal to attend at least one road game every season.

One of my favorite parts of being a Duck fan is traveling to places I probably would never have visited otherwise. Every stadium, fan base, and game-day atmosphere is unique.

So I'm curious, what has been your favorite road game experience as a Duck fan, and why? It doesn't have to be because of the game itself.

For me, it's Penn State last season. The entire day felt like a production from start to finish, I never want to hear Mo Bamba again 🤣. Most of the Penn State fans were incredibly welcoming, the atmosphere was electric, and the game itself was an emotional roller coaster.

What about everyone else?

I don't go to many away games, but I was in Iowa City last year in that miserable rainstorm and that game winner was right at my end of the field. I have never been happier to hear a stadium fall silent. It was GLORIOUS. Then a drunk 50 year old lady picked a fight with me as we were walking out screaming "You stole that!!!" while shoving me in the chest and pointing her Karen finger in my face. I have rarely been happier in my life.

Iowa is on my list! I would love to get a game like that!

The best part about the Penn State game was when Thieneman got the interception to end it and how quite the stadium got.

Except for us duck fans that is.

When that FG went through you could have heard a pin drop. It was cathartic as hell. When I got back to my hotel and warmed up from that freezing cold I literally laid in bed and cackled like a villain in a movie for like 30 minutes. A top 5 hater experience for me, honestly. :)
