SAN ANTONIO — When the Oregon football team arrived at its hotel for the Alamo Bowl two seasons ago, the Ducks were greeted by a gantlet of bowl representatives who slapped an endless supply of stickers bearing the bowl’s logo on players’ clothing, luggage … even a forehead or two.
Surely the Ducks’ victory over Texas in that year's Alamo Bowl was the best memory from the trip. But smaller details like the stickers were memorable too.
And so, when Oregon arrived at the same hotel Saturday, for this year’s Alamo Bowl next weekend against Texas Christian, veterans smiled nostalgic smiles when walking the sticker gantlet again, while newcomers experienced it for the first time.
