O - Papa Boehme (Brad's dad) played quarterback for the ducks in college.
O - Papa and Gramma Boehme met at Oregon.
O - Growing up near Eugene, Daddy was steeped in the Oregon tradition - from attending countless football, basketball games, and track meets, to hosting parties for the basketball team when he was just a little Jr. Higher.
O - Daddy graduated from Oregon, even though he had to get a degree from OSU too, being the only school of pharmacy in our state at the time. He doesn't even remotely consider himself a platypus.
O - At Daddy and Mommy's wedding, we actually played the Oregon fight song after the best man's (Papa's) speech. He cried. :)
O - Brett was born on December 31, 2007, the date Oregon beat South Florida in the Sun bowl, 56-21. Yes, the TV was on in the hospital room!
O - On December 30, the last day of Brett's first year, Oregon beat Oklahoma State in the Holiday bowl, 42-31.
So, win or lose tonight, we will remain die-hard duck fans...and Brett is already a superfan! Here's a little collection of photos to prove it.
Just a newbie...and already dressed in green and yellow, and handling the football!
The first of several duck-binkies
His first attempt at a long pass into the endzone (6 months)
Daddy duck and baby duck :)
Brett's first season opener - layin' the smack down on the Huskies!
Teaching big sis Jaciane how to be a good duck fan - Holiday Bowl '08
Ready to catch a pass...hmm, I wonder what position he'll play?
Go ducks!!

p.s. I adore all of the pics...they are perfect!!! I hope he has a new little outfit for tonight!!!
I didn't know Papa Jack was a quarterback there - that's so cool! I think that I picked Brett to be a tight end in his newborn poll :)
