They're never going away from what they historically were, now that Washington chose to save their program by rejecting the Apple deal and then colluding with them to GTFO at the last second.
As much as I don't/didn't want them in the B1G with us, it's exactly what USC deserves.

wishful thinking come August while Fill is visiting Nike’s second campus.

They have the resources and will to quickly fire shit coaches and to buy players. They're not going away for a long time.

Much as you will hate to see me write this, I think white hot Oregon hate motivates Washington more than anything and is a net plus for the program. Probably a net huge plus. Oh, yeah, there is the wine and cheese UW crowd who likes to see UW beating a good USC team and talking about "two classic heavy weights" and history and prestige and all that but it's total poseur talk and everyone knows it whether they admit it or not. And the reason it's poseur talk is because UW's football history is not 1b to USC's 1a. We? are not in their category by way of history. We just aren't. Nobody should make me show the numbers because it's humbling. They were the Pac 10.
But today is today, and the rivalry with Oregon helps recruiting because it's a rivalry that people talk about around the country. People know about it. Kids want to pick a side in it. It's a good thing for Washington football (and a good thing for Oregon football, admittedly). Every serious poster here knows that one thing Washington has suffered from historically is a bit of national anonymity and no serious objective person with a clue can argue that Washington's name recognition and rep matches its history. It deserves more. The Oregon rivalry helps with that. I am a pretty well traveled guy with people all over the country and my distinct impression is that people out there don't think of UW and USC as a thing … as some prestigious historical clash of titanic west coast programs. They don't. When people ask who USC rivals are they think UCLA (and then say "but who gives a shit?") and Notre Dame. They do not think Washington. Now, you ask the same question relating to Oregon, and people know it's UW and that gets the name out there. Nobody gives a shit about the Apple Cup other than NW purists and I can respect that but in terms of the national stage NOGAFF.
The Oregon rivalry is a thing and candidly it deserves to be a thing. It's a damn good rivalry especially by milk toast west coast standards. -
Agree with most everything you wrote and I’m a total homer but not once have I thought or cared what college football fans thought about UW in relation to SC outside the west coast. If you’re a true fan of college football and older that 30 everyone with a brain knows the only blue blood west of Texas in football is and has always been SC. Is anyone actually arguing this?
People in the know and not in their SEC bubble haven’t forgotten how they watched the PAC dominate the Rose Bowls of the past. There wasn’t a hundred bowl games and they call it the granddaddy for a reason until the sport has slowed become basterized the last deadcade.
It took a good not great team to end creeps 58 game win streak in the Orange Bowl. UW tucked away up in the northwest, something Florida and FSU couldn’t accomplish during their peak years.
I’ve gone off on a tangent but knowledgable fans know what UW has accomplished without a marketing machine behind the scenes. We have some great and significant wins on the big stage although we like SC have had some down decades the past 25 years.
Interesting take on the UW/Oregon rivalry that never entered my skull. Beating Oregon probably does benefit the program outside the duckade plus. I consider Nike and the markings machine behind them to be an unfair advantage but life isn’t fair and that machine while it has been a series actually does benefit us like a rising tide after reading the previous comment.
This brain isn’t as sharp as it once was but it never occurred to me his point on the ducks and rivalry and how it helps us nationally. Oregon’s is similar to Gonzaga the past 30 years which I hate to admit seems like catching lightning in a bottle. I’d still like to see the old PAC12 teams become part of the big two or three conferences once the dust settles on the Big12/ACC with eventually but maybe that’s tradition and old rivals that can’t sustain especially when wsu/OSU join all the shit MWC teams ruining the once great PAC name.~Tequila

One of the more talented UW teams despite record which I attribute to coaching. Go through the '94 UW roster and you'll see it.

To be fair, you?re retarded pretty fucking often.

When Fill dies - the woke tards get ahold of the money and sqaunder it on trans bathrooms and DEI nonsense
it’s a classic big 10 rivalry
