We can already tell that the Oregon Duck is going to be a polarizing figure in the Big Ten. I for one love it, but you can bet the Oregon mascot will rub some of the established conference teams the wrong way as the new kid on the block, especially with some of the antics the Duck is displaying lately.
To say that the Oregon Duck has been making its presence known would be a bit of an understatement. So far, we've seen its larger version floating along the White River in Indianapolis during the opening of Big Ten media days as well as several attempts to infiltrate Big Ten campuses, including on the front lines at Ohio State.
And now, well, the Duck has also made its way onto one of the most popular sports shows, the Pat McAfee Show, and was more than willing to show off its ability to do 50 push-ups for everyone to see. We're not going to pretend the push-ups were the best form, but they were finished.
Even McAfee wasn’t terribly impressed, but he did go on to welcome the Duck to the Big Ten and sarcastically said that he was sure there would be the equivalent of a warm welcome from the member institutions.
FIFTY PUSHUPS FROM @TheOregonDuck 👏

Yeah, this Oregon in the Big Ten thing is going to be a hoot.
