Oregon Duck Mascot's Savage Four-Word Taunt to Michigan Wolverines Leaves College Football Fans Buzzing

The Duck savagely taunted the Michigan Wolverines after Oregon's Week 10 victory

In their first season as members of the Big Ten Conference, the Oregon Ducks have done something that no other team has done in almost a decade — defeat both the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines in the same year. 

The latter part of that equation came on Saturday in Ann Arbor, as Dan Lanning's team went into The Big House and won by three scores, 38-17, in a game that was never in doubt. 

While Michigan Stadium stands as one of the most prestigious and historic venues in all of college football, beloved for it's grandiose size with more than 110,000 fans in attendance on any given Saturday, the Ducks looked like a big fish in a small pond in Week 10. 

Or as The Oregon Duck mascot would say on social media after the game: "big bird, wittle house."

It's an incredibly savage response after a trip to The Big House, but one that goes along the lines of Oregon's messaging as they enter the Big Ten this year. With decades of tradition standing tall in the conference, the Ducks are here to disrupt. 

While Michigan fans may see this is disrespect, college football fans loved the savagery on Saturday. 

It was a dominant showing for the Ducks, who have been looking like the No. 1 team in the nation ever since they beat the Buckeyes at home last month. Going forward, there are few tests remaining on Oregon's regular-season schedule, so there's a good chance they end up in the Big Ten Conference Championship Game, and the College Football Playoff, as well. 

However, Oregon did suffer a potentially brutal injury on Saturday, with star wide receiver Tez Johnson going down with an apparent collarbone injury. There has not been clarification on how long he will be sidelined, but it could potentially hurt the Ducks going forward.
