In the mass of thousands of Duck fans today at the pep rally I did run into a handful of folks from the Linn and Benton county. Unfortunately with the amount of people at the event I was only able to get in touch with a few cell phone numbers I had. Below are a few of the images from the event.

This was the second pep rally of the day at the site and by far it was the biggest.
