Oregon Duck continues Big Ten takeover, this time in Iowa City, Iowa

The Oregon Duck’s attempted takeover of the Big Ten Conference now includes another chapter.

First, the program sent an inflatable version of the famous mascot down the White River in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana during Big Ten media days. Next, it crashed Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule’s press conference at the start of fall camp.

Now, the Duck has made it all the way to Iowa City, Iowa and recently posted a photo trying to get into Kinnick Stadium.

The mascot appears to be on a full Midwest tour to alert the Big Ten that Oregon has arrived. It has also visited Minnesota and Wisconsin on this trek.

If the goal was to create headlines as the Ducks prepare for their first season in the Big Ten, the mascot has certainly achieved that.

Oregon is projected to contend for the conference title in 2024, which should guarantee significant screen time for the famous mascot. We ranked it No. 1 among all 18 Big Ten mascots in June. That selection continues to be validated as the weeks continue.
