Husky Heritage Week
Date: 10-22-2009
Location:
Purple and Gold this week to celebrate the University of Washington and support the Huskies!

Husky Heritage Week?!? WTF?!? In Portland OR?!?!?!?!? This makes NO sense... Gotta be some kind of joke?

Write them an email, I did... I'll let you know what they say!
information@LightTheBridges.org

That has GOT to be a joke. I mean...seriously??? NO EFFEN WAY

[kduxrock]

This is what I wrote to the "Lighting the Bridge" people. I mean...seriously? Even if it is "huskie heritage week" why would the STATE of OREGON and Portland in partcular, even do such a thing, or even care???

To whom it may:

Clearly the decision makers for lighting the bridges do not realize that this is the week of the Oregon Ducks vs the washington huskies rivalry football game, and the entire state of Oregon (and Portland in particular) is pulling for the Ducks. Why in the WORLD would you light the Morrison bridge purple and gold to celebrate huskie week!?!?! Are you for real? Was this just a gross oversight? Please, PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP, change the lighting to Green and Yellow, or just turn them off all together. Even no lights is better than purple and gold. Please PLEASE look into this. Thank you.

My message to them:

Lighting the bridges purple and gold? Is this a prank?

If you proceed with this plan, I will lobby to Multnomah County to revoke any decision making you have over the lights on the basis that your decisions have not represented the county's public interest. And I will do what I can to encourage others to do so.

My message to them this morning... still havent heard back, doubt any of us will... So anyone with $100 can light up the bridge in any color they want?!? LAME. Wow, score one for husky fan I guess....

Is this a joke? Husky Heritage Week in PORTLAND OR?!? And this just happens to happen the weeken that the Oregon Ducks are playing UW in Seattle?!? You have got to explain this to me so I dont come down there and actually JUMP off that bridge...

Some UW alumni paid $500 bucks for it.....its all about the money!

[uodux1212]

Well played husky fan, well played...

[gofightingducks]

Let em light up the bridge in purple and gold........ as the long as the Ducks win! Let the Husky give his money to the city of Portland!

He already does he lives in Portland...He is a local Attorney...apparently he found out about the bridge lighting and called up some of his buddies...ten of them gave $50 each and boom it was a done deal....According to the Light brigade...the lighting is first come fist serve.....if you put up the money they will put up the lights....how much you wanna bet the bridge is lit for the Civil War after this stunt...

Maybe a bunch of Ducks can get it green and yellow before the beavers can make it orange!

Daryle Hawkins isn't travelling this week, Chip Kelly said. Not sure about Riley Showalter.

Interesting, kinda makes me a little uneasy. If Masoli isn't able to play for some reason, We got a depth chart of Costa-Thomas.

Potentially one play from burning DT's redshirt.

[Greydrake]

Well played husky fan, well played...

My sentiments too, very well played...let the bidding war will start for civil war week

[duckgrad99]

Not a problem. If Masoli and Costa were both knocked out, I would rather see Thomas than Hawkins.

I heard back from them. They basically just said it was a response to an application.

I suggested that they have an obligation to approve appropriate use of publicly owned property and asked if they would also allow someone to turn the bridge red in appreciation of Hitler's birthday "because they got an application".

Maybe if Husky fans donated more of their money to the university, rather than wasting it on irrelevant things like lighting bridges, they would have enough money to rip out their track and start renovating that dump of a stadium they play in.
