Sydney Sweeney’s playful exchange with the Oregon Ducks’ mascot, Puddles, was an unexpected highlight, sparking significant social media buzz. During an NCAA college football pregame show on October 12, Puddles humorously reached out to the “Euphoria” star with a sign that read, “Sydney Sweeney, call me back.”
The 27-year-old actress, known for her role in “Anyone But You,” responded with humour on Instagram, playfully posting, “Sorry. Changed my number, haha.” This rare response from Sweeney, who typically does not engage with such public calls, was seen as a noteworthy moment by fans.
The interaction delighted fans and prompted a flurry of reactions on social media, celebrating the lighthearted banter between the Hollywood star and the mascot. Comments ranged from playful jests like “No Ducks given lol” and “Shooters shoot” to admiration for the mascot’s bold attempt, with one user noting, “You can’t teach that type of heart these days.”
Meanwhile, the Oregon Ducks are gearing up for another challenging matchup in the 2024/25 NCAA college football season. They face the highly rated Ohio State Buckeyes on October 12. With both teams holding a record of 2-0 in the Big Ten Conference and 5-0 overall, this game could be crucial for positioning at the top of the standings alongside the Indiana Hoosiers.
The Ducks’ season has started strong, with victories over Idaho, Boise State, Oregon State, UCLA, and Michigan State, maintaining an undefeated streak in their initial games.
