Mikey Navarro, the Duck mascot from 2008 to 2011 and the Duck’s manager from 2011 to 2014, capitalized on the success of Duck football under Chip Kelly. kcarbone@dailyemerald.com, CREATIVE & TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Despite the mascot’s significance, Disney still controlled the Duck. “There have been moments when people have puked in the suit with the head on,” Eggerman said. “They originally had said ‘Hey you’re not running out with the team’ so I was expecting the team to run by and I would just stand there and clap,” said Matt Triden, the Duck mascot from 2013 to 2016. That’s his own thing. “But I think that’s what was fun about football games — everyone wants to see you. But at the end of the day, it’s really just the Duck that matters. “If you needed [a break], you could get one,” said Triden. Other schools tend to favor a macho, aggressive mascot; the UO icon uses its charm, hilarious mannerisms and facial expression to win fans’ affection. “That’s not even a question open for interpretation,” he said. “It’s not a person — it’s what the character represents.”. Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items. “Look at him,” Navarro said. 327 Williams found the arsonist and took some swings before letting the fan go. During Navarro’s tenure, the Duck made countless appearances in commercials and TV shows like ESPN’s College Gameday. Students must audition to gain access to that exclusive club. “Photographers love that. Ducks-in-training must prove they can communicate without speaking and show personality and charisma in the suit. He emphasized taking matters into his own hands in these situations because he viewed the Duck as a symbol for the university. He gets excited about licorice.”. He covers a variety of beats: crime, campus planning, science & technology and campus culture.
During football games, the Duck typically takes one break at halftime to hydrate and cool down, and returns to the field. Unable to market its own mascot, the athletic department needed a figurehead it had the rights to market and sell to the fan base. Over the last decade the mascot has exploded in popularity, taking on a life of its own. Many generations of Ducks have donned the suit, but the student inside remains a secret.

In 1947, Athletic Director Leo Harris made an agreement with Walt Disney that Donald Duck could be used as the school’s mascot, according to. creative@dailyemerald.com, AD DIRECTOR bkunerth@dailyemerald.com, VP OPERATIONS “I brought Tostitos chips to the Civil War game,” Navarro said, in honor of Oregon’s impending appearance in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Eggerman also said some mascots have needed IVs and paramedic attention during games. In 2003, the athletic department literally hatched a plan: Mandrake. Despite the mascot’s significance, Disney still controlled the Duck. Navarro said his personality inside the suit did not match his everyday personality. “I got lit on fire at Autzen,” Williams said. The Duck nowadays has shifted towards a more cute and cuddly mascot compared to its earlier years, but the Duck has always stayed true to who he is at heart: an “overweight waterfowl” who can’t stop having fun. Navarro believed the Duck resonated with so many people because it was something different — a type of mascot they hadn’t seen before. “You can’t go to class and throw a coffee at the wall but if the Duck does it it’s funny,” Navarro said.
