How many Duck fans know there is a giant O on Skinners Butte representing the university?
Or that it has been up there for over 100 years?
Or that on five occasions Beavers have tried to blow it up with dynamite?
From fires to explosions to paint to tar to outright theft, the O has endured over 100 years of attacks from Oregon State Beavers and others, yet has endured throughout. The fascinating history of Oregon's O is at the link.

There have been multiple occasions when the Beavitz reps have painted the O Eye-Sore Orange... the last time I was repainted within a couple hours.
