While Colorado’s players might’ve gone a bit far by stomping all over the Oregon logo before Saturday’s big game in Eugene, Puddles the Oregon duck mascot might’ve matched them for ridiculousness.
As it was walking out of the tunnel, the duck sported a white cowboy hat and sunglasses to poke fun at Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.
There was a big, paper clock that hinted at Sanders’ “Prime Time” nickname from his electric NFL playing days, and the duck proceeded to take some sort of bat or stick and beat the everlasting daylight out of the paper “Prime Time” clock.
Well, it went fine until the mascot’s duck head fell off, sending the poor person inside the suit sprinting inside while trying to hide their face.

Okay, the shenanigans for Colorado-Oregon have already gone off the rails, and we’re very positive that this game has reached its nonsense barometer for one afternoon.
We hope Puddles the duck keeps its head the next time it tries a bit like this.
CFB fans thought this was quite a moment.
Does this come back and bite them!? https://t.co/SatejKAxHa

Does @TheOregonDuck follow lucha libre rules? Once you lose your mask you can never return? https://t.co/BS8nU0S98G

This is exactly what the Duck gets. Someone needs to check him. No other competition in the PNW mascot wise. Will be humbled quick in the big ten. https://t.co/BD73WL73Fu
