Frankly, I didn't hate the huskies until I moved to Seattle after college. I was in school 2007-2011, and we beat uw like a rag doll, so I had no reason for animosity then. After college, however, I worked in downtown Seattle, and experienced just how stiflingly stupid their fanbase is. There was the outright animosity (people yelling from cars as I walked down a peaceful street in Queen Anne while wearing a ducks shirt, fat guy pushing me while I was taking a piss in a urinal while wearing a ducks shirt in Fremont), but what actually annoyed me more was how pompous their fans and grads are. When I later moved to NYC, I found out Michigan has this in common with uw. Their fans & grads think their school is Harvard, which blows my mind. When I was at that first job in Seattle, my boss (uw grad) spent an entire lunch trying to tell me washington is a better school than Stanford. At a UofO/uw away game, we regularly heard chants of "You're gonna work for us someday!" (Irony, I had weight in my firm's hiring decisions, and you can guess who was graded on a curve..) Another time I had a higher-up at my firm who said UofO grads either end up in fast food or as air stewardesses. That's the kind of s*** that makes me not dislike uw, but outright hate them.

Their fight song is "Bow down to Washington", it's pompous arrogance from the top down.

I've definitely experienced the "yelled at by a Husky fan who didn't invest in dentistry" scenario more than once. During year 11 of the Duckade I remember having a fat guy yelling at my friend wearing a Duck t-shirt in downtown Seattle. We laughed so hard. Their fan base is so weird, so many of them stick their chest out over Washington's academic superiority despite themselves having gone to South Puget Community College.

Don't forget Reggie Rogers, whom I believe was responsible for the Chris Miller injury in the 1984 game in Seattle that I witnessed. Ended up a convicted felon, one of the biggest NFL draft busts, and finally died of cocaine and alcohol intoxication. A pretty sad life.

Yep that's the a$$hat I was thinking of.

They turned this four-part Seattle Times expose into a book called Scoreboard, Baby. Great read.

Probably going to regret saying this, I feel like the bumbass team up north is vulnerable. Blood in the water.

Speaking of the usual Ted Bundy jokes, the best thing I saw on Twitter last Saturday was a response from a random non-Duck College Football Fan during a thread on our hatred for the purple-and-gold-clad-leg-humping-upcountry-degens from Seattle:

Duck fan: "Ted Bundy was a Husky"

Random college fan: "Whoa! What did Ted Bundy ever do to you?!?"

We were watching some games and I spit my cocktail all over the couch. This Friday and Saturday I will proudly be rocking my "Even Geez Hates The Huskies" T-shirt for 48 hours.
