Then I figured you were just young and didn't remember when the Huskies won 17 out of 20 and how arrogant they were during those years. If you've only been following since 2005, then of course you don't understand the rivalry, and how much The Pick changed everything. You've never lived through years of hoping your team was good enough just not to get blown out by the Huskies and have to listen to 'Bow Down to Washington' over and over from purple-clad jackwagons. It wasn't just Duck fans either. I was at the Beaver game vs, Stanford in '94 the day Kenny Wheaton intercepted that ball. When the score was announced, everyone cheered. Husky loathing was a statewide thing, at least back then.Blazers-1977 wrote:
I first started watching Oregon football casually with my dad as an 8-year-old kid during the 2005 season (I still hated USC then) , and really only started following Duck Football during the 2007 season.
I'm not here to tell you who to hate, but just understand that the animosity for all things Husky by Duck fans is WELL deserved. I don't in any way devote my life to Husky hate, but I do hope I live long enough to see that all-time head-to-head record swing toward the Ducks, a thing that was inconceivable in my youth. A few decades ago, when the Ducks started getting good, Husky fans used to say 'Win a Rose Bowl, then pop off'. Well, three Rose Bowls later, they have had to find other arguments to make themselves feel better. If Oregon wins a national championship and evens that head-to-head record, what will they have left? Ancient history and apocryphal championships. It's fine to dislike the arrogance of Ohio State or SEC schools, but is there anything more annoying and pathetic than fans full of hubris for stuff that happened over a generation ago, especially with a completely winless season and a 12-game losing streak to the Ducks so fresh in our memories?

They rooted for the Ducks in the rose Bowl .
the USC fans I have seen are far far worse than the UW fans I have seen, all of them talk non stop about their glory days in the 2000s without mentioning how they got there by basically flagrantly violating NCAA rules, SoCal media acts like they are entitled to players from SoCal and treat the Ducks terribly in every way possible.
Leaving aside fans , the fact is the USC team of the 2000s were far far more detestable than any team UW has had in the 2000s or 2010s as well and even the early 2010s USC team was extremely detestable as well.
It's interesting: we lost to Wazzu four years in a row, and the all-time record is pretty close (Ducks lead 50-42-7). But still, I have never sensed the animosity with the Cougars. I'm sure they enjoyed that winning streak, but they didn't make donkeys out of themselves all over the place like Husky fans would have. The sense of entitlement coming out of King County is really amazing. I've had opportunity to witness it in more than just sports. I suspect it is something to do with being a large city in an otherwise remote region of the country.StevensTechU wrote:In fairness, I'd probably qualify as "middle aged" and when I left school, I didn't think we had much of a rivalry with washington.

Then I moved to Seattle for 3 years. A guy I worked with said the best an Oregon grad could do is be his flight attendant. A guy pushed me while I was pissing in a urinal at a bar in Fremont because I had an Oregon shirt on. At a game at uw, a group of 40+ yr old guys refused to move from our co-ed group's seats and wanted to fight us for having security handle it. And then there's just the incessant whineyness, self-unaware elitism (newsflash: your school is just ok and your football team is trash), and general dumbassery that I think only Michigan fans can really compete with. I wouldn't be sad in the least bit if they disbanded the program. I'm content with the friendly rivalry that exists between us and OSU.
Go to a game in Pullman and you may be singing a different tune. Been there a couple of times, they’re an odd low class fan base, but they HATE Oregon and don’t treat Oregon fans kindly.Phalanx wrote:It's interesting: we lost to Wazzu four years in a row, and the all-time record is pretty close (Ducks lead 50-42-7).

Not discounting the WSU hate. But I think that a huge part of the noise coming from U DUmB is insecurity. From the start it went their way, BOW DOWN carried the day. But then it started to turn; James leaves, Lambright, Tyrone Willingham, 0-12 season, 12-0 Ducks run, 3 straight classes that didn't beat Oregon! 20-10 Oregon in the last 30 games.OregonFan4Life wrote:Go to a game in Pullman and you may be singing a different tune.
