Name:
Morgan. It’s the only name he goes by.
How long have you been playing outside Duck games?
About five or six years.
Why?
Because the Ducks love their fight song. They’re obsessed. Even when I play outside Mariners games up in Seattle, fans come up there and I play their fight song. … I’ve even met Husky fans who admit that the Ducks’ song is actually a better tune, musically. I mean they hate what it stands for but they admit it’s a better song.
So why do you like the Ducks’ song?
Well because people give me money when I play it. It’s very pavlovian, you know. They ring the bell, I salivate, I play the song, they give me the money. … And my mom went to the U of O too, that’s how I knew the Duck song. So of course I grew up as a Duck fan. If you’re mother’s a Ducks fan it’s in your blood. It’s like if your mother’s Jewish, you’re Jewish, if your mother’s a Duck you’re a Duck.
What do you do for a living?
This is what I do for a living.
Where else do you play?
Well, you know, Trail Blazers, Mariners, Ducks, Sonics. Maybe a few other colleges, we won’t name those though. In this context we don’t even know any other colleges do we?
So do you just travel up and down the West Coast?
Well mostly from here to Seattle. I live in Seattle, my girlfriend lives here in Eugene. I used to live here in Oregon myself; I used to live on the coast. So I know all these songs.
