There will be plenty of time between now and the Dec. 3 Civil War for OSU and Oregon fanatics to hash out every possible angle of what could happen on the field. (As for work, yeah whatever.)

But marketing waits for nobody, and thus from the folks who brought you the latest in Halloween night wear at Autzen Stadium come a new line of “must-wear items” for next week’s nationally televised game to decide who goes to the Rose Bowl.

It’s beyond me how anybody would risk new clothes for the “most important game in the history of the universe” rather than relying on a “lucky Civil War ensemble” (if you must know, ‘95 Rose Bowl hat with a gray “Turf’s Up” t-shirt, under fraying white turtleneck with old-school Duck on the collar, under green vest with old-school Duck and dark-green hoodie with the newer “O”). But if you’re willing to run that risk (doubled in my mind if you put on an article of clothes with the other team’s colors), here you go.

    That guy that made a lot of money on those Fright Night shirts needs to reconsider doing another grim reaper shirt. His success was based on circumstances; Halloween, USC, the Student BLACK OUT, the biggest game up until that point. Another reaper t-shirt won’t sell – it has nothing to do with the civil war, war of the roses.

    A beaver and a Duck fighting over a rose bouquet would make more sense. (like those crazy single girls do at weddings).

    I’ve never like Oregon’s spirit shirts, they have always sucked so I made a parody of the Yell-O shirt…where the O hands look like a “beaver” which is obviously slang for something else. (posted on my site) Go Ducks!

    Even as a Duck fan, I wouldn’t pay a nickel for one of these cheesy abortions.

    AUTZEN STADIUM. WHERE BEAVERS GO TO GET WAXED.

    Pick a nice-looking bold font. You’d sell thousands of them.

    Send me my royalty check.
