Oregon Duck fans are proud, Eugene is loud, and campus was packed at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning when ESPN College GameDay came to town.
Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, and Kirk Herbstreit were surrounded by hundreds of Oregon fans as they flocked to campus and their early-morning signs didn't miss the mark.
Here is a handful of the best signs of the morning:

Fans (of Oregon and Charli XCX) are clinging to "brat" for as long as they can even though brat summer is over and football fall is here.
In 2010 Chip Kelly yelled at me in the middle of a post game interview on ESPN. He’s returning to Autzen this weekend as Ohio State’s OC. Look for me on @CollegeGameDay #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/Y2Url9zg6J

Of course, Ducks are still holding onto their grudge against former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly who left Eugene for the NFL and is now the Ohio State offensive coordinator

It was easy to lean into the jokes about the Ohio State mascot as Brutus Buckeye sparred back and forth with The Duck throughout the morning.

Despite Lee Corso not being able to make the trip to Eugene for the weekend, fans gave the beloved football character a well-deserved nod, especially because he loves The Duck so much.

From digs at Ohio State alums to digs at the state itself, Oregon fans reached into every corner of their creativity for their signs on Saturday morning and it paid off.

After Vanderbilt took down the No. 1 Crimson Tide in Week 6, fans aren't looking to face Alabama anymore, they're looking to take on the Commodores.
Honorable mention:

A real-life llama kind of counts as a sign right? Especially when a Santa Clause look-a-like is holding the reigns?
Oregon and Ohio State are scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT in Eugene. Fans can tune into NBC or Peacock to catch every snap.
