I was at that basketball game in 2003. He ran out across a corner of the court and then vanished into the locker room. It was insane. I thought I was seeing things.
Rip mandrake he will live on…. 😢
Fly high hopefully.
It came out of an egg at Autzen first. & was very...STUPID.
Mandrake looks badass idk who wouldnt want him
Haha imagine him chasing you through a dark alley
I know right ✔️
@that boi really? And what's your school little boi??
Because he was a replacement for The Duck. That would’ve been a terrible replacement Oregon fans definitely hated it The Duck is way too iconic now anyways
@@Oregonman2011 ewwww Ohio St
Mandrake looks badass
He never was going to replace the original duck, he was just a more rude badass, athletic brother of the original duck
Mandrake is badass but he's just not fit for oregon
LittleBit OfEverything i would say atleast maybye
LittleBit OfEverything because orgeon isn't badass?? Lol
LittleBit OfEverything I
mandrake looks dope
LittleBit OfEverything He looks more like one of these Saturday Morning TV shows costumed superheros that was soley made to either sell toys, rip-off Batman, or both.
I personally really like mandrake
Corrupted Koala right
Oh yeah yeah
Mandrake wayyy too Thicc
Ong he got a bbl
Man drake looked like a speed runner or something
Mandrake was ahead of his time
By at least 15 years, yes.
He had so much potential. They should have gave him wings or something
“The ducks” name is puddles.
No officially. That's just a nickname. "Puddles" was an actual real duck that was the mascot in the 1920s.
His name is actually "The Duck"
His real name is Donald. Donald Duck...
Yep, The Duck is actually his name .. 🤷🏻♂️
@@minibikemorgan4992 He's Donald's cousin.
Personally I think the new one fits Them because they always got the new new uniforms
Mandrake look like that one superhero phineas and ferb made in an episode
XO OVO the superhero’s name is the beak and yea he does look like him 😂🤪👌🤣
Imagine Oregon and Oregon State shared a Arena together just like the Lakers and the Clippers
Nah that would be stupid
All my life as a kid I was like why Oregon got Donald 😂
If you look closely at point 1:00, you see part of the guy's face.
Idan O'Reilly I
And mandrake is ruined for me 😂
So...
I heard the mascot after the game Rob some dude and pout it out a couple White Chicks
@Yung_Baller how do you know? And what if he is?
Mandrake is awesome
Mandrake looks like a CW superhero
Wow, it went from Donald Duck to Might Duck in an instant.
His names puddles
I remember this! I have searched for this video for months!
Roboduck looks awesome!!
Mandrake Is A,Superhero
My hair is a black hair
Winning It All...for the Duck. 🐧🦆⚽️🏏🥅🏟
I am laughing so hard right now remembering this; it is just so effing ridiculous! I kinda hope they bring him back for like one game randomly and just don't tell anyone ahead of time. If they did that I think people would absolutely love it for the nostalgia. It's almost so bad it's good.
Why. Do people say that nobody liked mandrake he got a massive pop from the Oregon crowd and he can do like 20 backflips in 6 seconds honestly he should be in the oylimpics in jymnastics or a wrestler
Mandrake isnt here to cheer on the team, he's here to destroy the opponent.
Mandrake is awesome! He and The Duck would be awesome!
I’m still half waiting for mandrake to take off his mash and start talking about how he needs to go for the heart to defeat Spider-Man
The Duck as you call him, his name is Puddles!
Make this a fortnite skin
William Rosenbaum
Hahaha true
*how bout nah*
They did
William Rosenbaum I willl buy it
They were trying to get around a licensing disagreement with Disney that prevented The Duck from appearing on TV for decades
Okay but real note mandrake looks badasss
That guy looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtles' supervillain
I like schools with mascots and tradition
Mandrake lives... I’ve seen him
Bobby Walsh
And I gots a buddy what seen big foots.... and when he was abduck-ted by aliens, big foots was there! Happened in eastern Oregon when he was shroomin at a hot spring!
True story!
lol
Puddles!!!!!!! Greetings from Eugene all!
Texas Tech has 3 mascots the masked rider , and raider red , the 3rd is a rare one , it doesn’t make many appearances at all. It is called the Matador🕺🏻
Mandrake looks like he could play football just as good
I like the new mascot
I loved Mandrake.
I was at the game when they revealed him in that dumb egg. Halftime against USC if I remember right. It was such a bizarre show they tried to conjure up. Everybody hated it from the beginning.
I wish I had mandrake s costume
It's probably chillin somewhere in the basement of Autzen. Maybe you can break in and steal it.
That’s my ManDrake!
That costume is dope
I love puddles and always have lol
Where can I buy the Duck costume?
I'm a UO student; bring back the Mandrake
Thanks for saying that Oregon has licensing rights for the duck from Disney. I never knew that.
Wall Street Journal coverage? Am I missing something?
0:29 In the 70s they drew up Mandrake, then waited 30 years to unleash it? Seems like something’s missing in that story.
I thought I saw Mandrake at the drive-thru at Wendy's one day, not sure if it was him
Actually, the Duck's name is, "Puddles."
Did you guys see at 1:04 Andy was on the Ducks foot
I don't like Oregon, but i like their mascot
Mandrake lol reminds me of Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory
Nyirobi Ojulu glad I wasn't the only one who thought that 😂
He looks like the robot in phineas and ferb
0:44 Dat duck booty doe.
wow...!
He kinda reminds me of that villain from spiderman
He really does look like that one Green Goblin...
Roboduck GOT THAT CAKE THOUGH
Haha I was at that game when Roboduck came out of the egg...
The ducks name is Puddles
Coral Lee Hubbard the original original live animal mascots name was puddles. The feathered but job we have now is named The Duck.
I see duck vader at every home game and we have the best mascot ever
Unspherdcomb6 no clemson has the best mascot ever
Big Body no, Oregon does
He looks cool
Omg Mandrake is daddy lol
Leave.
Chavvy Doncalz no.
Gross
I was on campus when that alternate Duck was created in the school paper. If memory serves his name was Drake Mallard (pronounced Mull-lard). As I remember him, he was Joe Cool, friendly, up beat and everybody's laid back idol. I certainly don't remember him as angry or mean.
There was even a campus wide vote to replace Donald with Drake that failed on a close vote. I don't like the RoboDuck character either. But a laid back Drake Mallard hanging out in the student section cheering and schmoozing would have been cool.
Who else things of Phineas and Ferb when they see this
They should rename Mandrake and let him show up at a Oregon national championship/bowls and team with puddles (ONE DAY)
Should have gave him a jetpack. Everyone loves jetpacks.
They should just call him Roboduck that would be cold asf
Yeah man Drake is so sick
RoboDuck looks waaaaaay cooler than the original Duck!
Mandrake is aight, but my man Puddles is the OG
0:05 on bottom right, is that young obama?"
For some odd reason the concept art for mandrake looks suspiciously like daffy duck from warner bros and looney tune
Mandrake is badass i see nothing wrong with him.
It has to match the uniforms, bring him out now and I bet the stadium likes it
I liked Mandrake
He look cool
The duck is named puddles
I was in the stadium when "AssQuack" was spawned. We lost.
"Donald, I am your father!"
Go ducks!!!!!!
What a clever April fools trick
mandrakes cries are so fatal tho
Everyone would've liked Mandrake if he was created by Stan Lee
1:03 maybe they asked Pixar
Why would you make a mascot thats intimidating
To intimidate
Cause it's football...
Richrichard34 mascots are not players
@@jamisons9971 Never said they did, they intermediate the other team to get the upper advantage, and as stated in the video, the duck was still the original mascot, meaning puddles would take care of the fans and mandrake on both scaring the players and using his acrobatic skills to entertain the fans
Because that's the point of football. To look intimidating.
Howard will forever be the mascot!
If our marvel I would buy it
He looks like the 2018 version of Venom from the Venom Movie .-.
Maddrake looks way cooler
Isn't Mandrake from Phineas and Ferb
It looks like a lost member of the power rangers.
Or the Avengers
Okay thanks
Can Michigan take him? We'd appreciate him a lot more.
We would give him to you, however, in 2007 we already gave you WAY MORE than you could handle
I like roboduck
1:03 Andy owNa a duck
Rip Mandrake
