When Will Oregon Go Away?

Oregon will win 10 plus games forever, Bill!
Strong take. We've barely been able to see what the rivalry could be if both programs are thriving and 2023 showed it can get the recognition it deserves, if both are. I do think having to compete with a progrum that cares and has their shit together has benefited UW instead. USC/UW has never been a rivalry and never will be so can just forget about that.
One big thing in the rivalry for UW is making sure they don't just lose the best players from instate to Oregon every year. Especially now, there's not enough of those guys who UW probably couldn't get out of state talent wise but have an opening because they're in Washington to lose to their closest rival and Oregon is in a good position to recruit those guys.

Up til now I've been pissed that one sweatshop owner can singlehandedly cheat, bribe, and corrupt a turd school into a media darling.
But given that's now reality, the point raised here is interesting. The Oregon-UW thing elevates UW.
Personally I think we were more elevated when we were raking all the talent in the NW 4th of the country.
But if this Oregon-UW thing is to ever work in our favor we need to improve our brand within that rivalry, while Oregon's needs to sully. They have world class marketing. UW had that Oregon grad we hired a few years ago with her tramp stamp who kept posing in OU swag, and now we have no one.

I think UW's branding has improved over the years but winning is much more important than branding. Everyone forgets everyone was snickering about Oregon's brand bullshit a lot more before they started winning 10 games plus every year once Chip got there. The media and world was different and wasn't just cheerleading and dead internet theory bullshit on social media but the winning was much more important than the branding.
UW will be just fine and keep pace if they can win and don't do shit like have Petersen quit, hire Jimmy, and have DeBoer leave the way he did.

Yeah UW's effort back in ~2011-2013 versus what it is now is night and day. And it's clearly from all the money and attention they got in 2023. Even the frumpiest of university admins understand the value of printing money like that. But having a rival that care to the degree that they do has contributed to that much more than an old money blue blood that has taken themselves down a level, is 200 million dollars in debt even after killing their conference, and could be in serious trouble unless their people step up and handle Riley.

It seemed like in the early-2010s UW kind of tried to just copy Oregon and that may have come from Sark. Then we had the Petersen OKG shit and the Greatest Setting, Academis shit that was too boring and tame. Then it felt like we kind of had years of nothing other than Greatest Setting.
Seems more dialed in now. The Be A Pro thing is still questionable though to me because Judd's fluffing a bunch of players he had nothing to do with and portal spending has helped Oregon eclipse UW in that anyway, and that's probably going to get worse before it gets better.

UW/Oregon could be west coast OSU/Michigan rivalry type game if we can make another run shortly. A good but disrespected UW is where we? need to be. Fake tough guys go to Oregon, we need a tough defense and solid offense. HS is a huge advantage.

As much as I hate them, Oregon isn’t going back to pre-2000 levels anytime in the next 20 years unless something crazy happens

Just stop. The @RaceBannon's semi?
eroticironic "football started in 1994" has become a doog mantra. Oregon had the third most wins in the fucking 1990s in the Pac-10, behind UW and (wtf) Arizona. They haven't been a shit ass program since the 80s.
Doogs act like it's new money when it's been a long time coming(twss). I get that we're all olds but get a fucking clue and stop lying to yourselves.From 2000-2009 Orgn was 14th in the nation in wins(#2 in the Pac). UW was 89th, behind WSU(lmfao) and UA and OSU. Fucking OSU had 31 more wins than UW that decade.
Go do 2010-2019, you won't like that at all.
Now go do 2020-Present. Where the fuck is Oregon going? All the academis smack and you can't plot a graph to save your own lives.
Yes 3-0 will never stop my ring from stinging, but grow a pair and call a spade a spade.
UW is a better skool, has more tradition, and half a natty(lol). Whoopty-fucking-doo.
Since 1992 Oregon is 8th in wins. UW is 35th.
Since '80, 19th and 23rd.

imagine losing your shit because a rival board pretty much agrees your program isn’t going away. An Oregon coach at this point winning like Oregon did all of the 90s in a water ass Pac-10 other than 94 gets shitcanned btw DTD. You don’t want to go back to that. Most of the 2000s too

UW being a much better school, having 100+ more years of tradition and football culture, and a day on the mountain top is not some "whoop dee doo" thing bud.
The reason: you saw how impossible it is to kill that, even after 10+ years of self sabotage.
