Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Thoughts from attending the football match yesterday.
Oregon co-eds > Washington co-eds. The new look seems to be braless tube top with Mom Jeans for both sides.
Stadium was packed and fairly loud, seemed like kind a buzz of lets just win this and move on. Thought 2016 Stanford game was a bit more raucous. Maybe due to D is pretty “average” and couldn't get many stops. and 12:30 kickoff minimizes boozing.
Was a hoot singing Journey with 70K of my closest friends. 9/10
Bucky Irving is fantastic
#25 for UW is not
Oregon fans are predominantly white, but have truly embraced the Urban lifestyle, reminded me of Malibus Most Wanted. Vaping ecigs and bad tattoos were quite prevalent. Along with throwing “dubs down” and speaking various hip hop slang with loud belly laughs.
Went to Ave before game all bars super packed found small place down by Schultzys called Dupbop. No one was in the place and they sell beer and sake and the food looked legit. Nice to not fight for a beer.
Dan Lanning might be my new all time favorite Oregon coach.
Taking the subway makes things pretty easy.

Went to the bathroom after the halftime crowd thinned out and multiple dudes were throwing up in the stalls. Mrs. Doogerson and @Rapeculturedawg had about 15 Jello Shots apiece and a couple cans of Four Loko but sobered up by game end. I have personally helped a younger generation understand what Mountain Dew was invented for - as a mixer for Whiskey. My son went to UW and is 23 and brings like 15 people to our tailgate and they think it is best thing since sliced bread. If you're in E1, look for the FOUR LOKO flag flying and say the secret phrase - "Is this where the lemon party is?" and I'll give you a cocktail.
The students were absolutely mental. Lined up for Game Day and the game 3 hours in advance. Not a single seat was used as they didn't sit down. Duck kicker probably puts it through without them. I was impressed.
The duck fans were hilariously stereotypical. They were at about a 81% completion on neck beards. One group was repeatedly attempting to smoke while waiting for the subway. Overall they were peaceful monster energy drinkers and not aggressive tweakers at least.
Stadium pre game experience is still kind of bizzare? I don't have good ideas or answers but it didn't feel like there was much effort into getting the place poppin. Purple reign being played after the 3rd quarter is insane. Puts the place to sleep. Tap in to Nirvana more it's a way better trope.
ZTF falling down after running directly at Nix and allowing him to pickup the 1st down was the worst play of the game and my final straw with him. Need Durfee to loosen things up for Trice. Have moved my positional hate from the DBs to the DL.
Being on the field after with my Dad and brother dappin up students, players and band going all out is a core memory now.
If Portland ever gets an NFL team the Duck fan base will be decimated.
Purple Haze is a great choice. Or maybe Alive by Pearl Jam if they want to stay with the Seattle theme

You're right about grunge though. Everyone knows it. It's something that connects to seattle. It's pretty easy.
