Vanity: Obama "O" Hand Signal At Oregon-USC Game?

November 2, 2009 | Me

I saw some of the Oregon blowing out USC at Eugene Saturday night. I noticed in the crowd shots there were Oregon fans making the Obama "O" with their fingers. I was just wondering if that "O" came first or those moonbat leftists in Eugene decided to adopt the Obama "O"?

[IYAS9YAS]

I’m thinking it would be “O” for “Oregon.”

[library user]

LOL. yeah, this is series hugh mistake for O like dat.

[C19fan]

I know what you mean. I wrote a crappy sentence. Were Oregon fans doing the “O” before anybody heard of Obama?

[SkyDancer]

Nope - I watched that game and they were giving the “O” for Oregon Ducks ... just like Texas Longhorns give the Longhorn fingers at their games ...

[library user]

I think it means “orgy.”

[SoldierDad]

Orgasm?

[Tamatoa]

“O” for Oregon Ducks came way before anyone heard of Obama.

[C19fan]

LOL!! But I am disappointed you left out in the photo Chekov’s hot ex-gf.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Here are Oregon fans doing the "O" thing in September 2007 and December 2006. They've been doing it well before Obama.

[C19fan]

Wow!! Thanks. I am bit too paranoid about Eugene. LOL!!!

[Grimmy]

Huh.

I thought that “O” on the Obamanard poster was a nod to “goatse”.

[Dr. Thorne]

I have my own hand signal for Obama.

It signifies "The One".

[PanzerKardinal]

bwahahahaaaaaaaaahaha

spittin’ coffee funny

[Wierzbowski]

I was at the game this weekend! I'm still basking in the afterglow. They actually put this on the ol' Jumbotron during the game. I was rolling, and I'm sure all of the sci-fi nerds in the crowd were as well.

[Haiku Guy]

I call that gesture “Servicing the Elephant”...

[the long march]

Oh please -—— you can’t figure out that “O” for Oregon ( like the hook em horns for Texas) has been around for YEARS?

[Osage Orange]

FAIL!!!!

[RichInOC]

I think it’s more likely Teh Won stole the Beavers’ sign.

[Reaganesque]

This reminds me of the clip from “Famliy Guy” where Peter thinks he’s getting the message “Ooooooo” from his cereal. However, the dog points out “Peter, you’re eating Cheerios.”

[GLDNGUN]

You really need to get out more often.

[JimSEA]

The typical Eugene tree hugging Marxist wouldn’t be caught dead rooting or a football team, let alone attending a game and contributing to pollution and global warming.

[Nervous Tick]

>> I think it’s more likely Teh Won stole the Beavers’ sign.

Oregon R Ducks, not Beavers.

Mind you, the Beavers have a finger thing too.

I’d show you how to do it, but I’d prolly get banned.

[The Shrew]

For a OSU grad like myself watching USC vs Oregon is hyperbolic akin to watching Hamas vs. Hezbollah - Beavers just root for ambulances. But, I gotta say, That U of O offense was one of the prettiest things I've seen in football in a long, long time.

Awesome performance. Best game of the year IMHO.

So Texas isn't full of devil worshippers? I'm so relieved!

I saw some highlights (the Oregon-USC game was on in parallel with Texas-OSU or I would have watched it all). It was indeed a thing of beauty.

I don’t care about Oregon either way — but it is always gratifying to see the University of Spoiled Children get a spanking!

[IYAS9YAS]

Were Oregon fans doing the “O” before anybody heard of Obama?

IIRC, yes.

[Nervous Tick]

So Texas isn't full of devil worshippers? I'm so relieved!

Trust me. Any resemblance between Texas symbology and satanic icons is purely coincidental.

Although the 'Horns do fight like the Devil himself when they're behind!

[RichInOC]

My bad. You’re right.

[Nervous Tick]

>> My bad. You’re right.

No prob — but I’m disappointed that you didn’t ask about my Beaver finger. ;-)

[SkyDancer]

Well for one the one on the left is upside down ... plus the state flag has the one star right side up just like the Longhorns emblem. What I was talking about is the hand gesture fans give during the game - thumb and pinkie extended. The same as the “O” at the Oregon Beavers game the fans gave.

I couldn't agree more!

Oh, TEXAS is - but TEXAS A&M ain’t...

Indeed. Here are some FR threads from 2005 on the same gesture:

I know. I was making a funny.

[SkyDancer]

Ya, gotta quit being so serious ...:)

[SkyDancer]

I think in Italy if you give the “V” sign the wrong way it’s an insult ...

[Nervous Tick]

>> Ya, gotta quit being so serious ...:)

That’s exactly what my shrink says. :-)

[SkyDancer]

LOL - there was a comma after “Ya” meaning I should quit being so serious ....

[Nervous Tick]

Oh, now I see the comma. Joke’s on me!

[visualops]

Oh believe you me, the lefties tried to spin that on Bush when he flashed that gesture to some Texas people once.
