‘Thank you Bo;’ Duck fans give outpouring of love to Bo Nix after final game as a Duck
There were mixed reactions in December 2021 when Auburn quarterback Bo Nix announced he was transferring to the Oregon Ducks.
A little more than two years later, there was no uncertainty when it came to feelings regarding Nix.
As the Oregon QB walked off of the field for the final time in an Oregon uniform at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, a 45-6 win over the Liberty Flames, Duck fans showered him with an outpouring of emotional gratitude. No. 10 will go down as one of the best passers in Oregon history. After breaking endless records in Eugene and finishing among the top Heisman candidates in 2023, it’s clear Nix left his mark with the Ducks.
As you would expect, the love on social media was abundant for Nix as he took his curtain call Monday afternoon. Here’s a sample of what Duck fans were saying to Nix to send him off.

I was really wrong about Dan Lanning's decision to acquire Bo Nix and Bucky. Both were certified ballers.

Not sure how anyone could dislike Bo Nix. Just a great all around person.

If that's the last play of Bo Nix's collegiate career, what an exclamation point. What a gift he's been for the Oregon football program. What a player, what a leader, what a man. #GoDucks

I think it's really cool that Bo Nix played in the Fiesta Bowl. Not a criticism of anyone who opted out, but it's good to see that he felt connected enough to his teammates to want to be out there for them.
The Oregon QB also threw for 363 yards and 5 TDs today.

When players present themselves to you, it’s your duty to root for them.
Bo Nix this season was that player for me and I rooted for his success every game.
He broke countless records for not just Oregon football, but the NCAA.
