Oregon’s Mascot Cleverly Trolled Deion Sanders But Literally Lost His Head in the Process

Move over Colorado-Oregon, and say hello to the real biggest storyline of Saturday’s college football slate: Deion Sanders versus Puddles, the Ducks mascot with a knack, or should we say quack, for a good troll.

The feud college football fans never knew they needed took center stage during pregame festivities in Eugene on Saturday afternoon, when Puddles donned a gigantic cowboy hat and pair of sunglasses as he walked onto the field. 

The flashy attire was, of course, in reference to Sanders’s signature gameday look, which received much attention ahead of CU’s Sept. 16 win over Colorado State. To make the moment even better, Prime Time Puddles, presumably walking out to his theme music, took another shot at the Buffaloes’ first-year coach by destroying a prop clock bearing the word “prime” with a bat.
