First matchup in 115 contests that will feature two top 10 ranked teams, and could be a preview of the Pac-12 championship game.

Betting lines aren't up everywhere but it's looking like Washington -3.

In other news I'm going to this game. Super excited. Hoping nobody throws anything at me.

Have been to games there and the uw crowd can be nasty. This is one of those where keeping in mind the Tosh axiom from the Colorado video works well, ' doesn't deserve your attention'.

I am sure many will arrive very well 'hydrated' by 12:30.

I'll be there with a group of ~15, though our seats are broken up. This will be my third experience going and haven't lost yet.

Do you guys go in there with Duck gear blazing, or keep a low profile? I've only been to one road game, Fresno State, and it looked like they would kill anyone in the parking lot who wasn't wearing Bulldog gear.

I've always worn DUCK gear and always gotten comments. Definitely most were not of the PG nature.

It was a very uncomfortable situation and was serious enough that we alerted the police. Later that day was speaking with people at the Oregon tailgate and they had been threatened as well and they also reported it and said they saw the persons being spoken to by Seattle PD security that was onsite. This may have been a way off 'one of a kind' thing but still a game should never get to the point where we are threatening people because of who they root for. The group harrassing us may also have had way too much to drink because some of the comments were pretty ugly. Hence my last trip to Seattle for a game.

Last football game I went to at uw (last game of any kind was Payton Pritchard's "this is my house" game), I was with all women and a group of overweight 40-something guys were in our seats when we arrived and refused to move. No confusion, they were just acting like children and started barking so we had to get security to move them along. I actually don't remember if it was the same year or two years before, but I was at a bar in Fremont after the game and got shoved while peeing in a urinal by someone I had no prior interaction with and ended up outside with a husky fan. Great times.

I definitely will be wearing bright yellow or green, but I won't attempt to tailgate. My advice to anyone would be to get in and get out.

I've been to a couple games at Husky stadium and dozens across the country. Have tailgated at a few with family, so in a decent crowd of home team supporters, where I was the only Duck but with good support. I haven't had an issue at any visiting stadium, but I'm not the type of person that looks for trouble and don't let words hurt me. I cheer for my team and realize I'm in the minority. Get in and get out and have fun while you're there.

I went to several Duck games at Husky Stadium during my years living in Seattle and never had any issues, but I'm also 6'4" and was in damn good shape back then. Still, I always did my best to get in & get out and not tempt fate too much.

In my case we were simply walking in the stadium chatting amongst ourselves. Had heard from others who had been there in the past to just keep moving and don't engage. We did our best and did not engage but after a while the insults and threats got a little to uncomfortable.

Not saying this game will be anything like that one and as at Autzen, there is always plenty of helpful and friendly security. Main thing, be aware of your surroundings.
