Recent Trends

I've noticed something creeping into my social circles in recent years: Kewgs hate the Ducks as much, and I'm starting to think more, than the good folks who follow Washington. Seriously. They don't like that fucking progrum.

To the creep, that is entirely counterintuitive and suggestive of something to which I don't think my fellow Cuog alumni would want to admit.

But make no mistake ... the creep has actually listened attentively while several of his Palouse Pals have articulated a view that is rather consistent with "beat Oregon; nothing else matters."

Saturday, it was a fellow fuck-up and a Husky bonding over their mutual hatred of Oregon. Waxing on about how they respect OSU (of course you do) and shit like that.

Is it me? Or shouldn't we!?!?! fucking love Oregon as much as Washington hates them? You know, enemy of your enemy and all that??

Thoughts? (Not you @salemcoog) - you're just a Husky pretending to be a coog trying to make Washington State look bad.

Oregon is our main rival.

I just don't get it. Unless my boys are secretly vying for Husky affection. Could it be?

I like to watch them fight each other

It's fine with me. The only people that like the dukcs are their fans. Everybody else hates them.

Cal is our traditional rival

Agree.

There are not many traditions in the collegiate rowing community that match the color, consistency or intensity of the Washington/California rivalry.

Since the first 1.5 mile race in fours on Lake Washington on June 3, 1903, these programs have set aside a weekend each year to race, even if it meant for the first 60 years loading shells onto steamships or railcars to make the 800-mile trip.

Add to that the fact that these two teams – both men and women – have consistently been two of the strongest rowing programs in the nation, and you get an annual event that is as good as it gets to anyone who follows collegiate rowing in our country.

The Washington-California men’s varsity eight dual series dates back to 1903, with 105 meetings between the two schools. UW currently leads the varsity series 73-31-1.At stake is the Schoch Cup, named after Delos “Dutch” Schoch of Washington’s class of 1936. Schoch lettered three years (1934-36) as a Husky oarsman and was the spare to the 1936 Olympic team.

73-31-1 isn't a rivalry.

Cal sucks.

73-31-1 isn't a rivalry.

Cal sucks.

They just needed more time, and in a lot of those seasons they might have finished the year as the faster crew.

In the days of Gil Dobie it was true in football too.

I think if you're a true WSU fan it's Beat UW, Nothing Else Matters or GTFO. Trying to act like there is any other rivalry that matters is fucking stupid. Hell, you can go 1-11 and still consider the season a success if they win the Apple Cup.

Husky Stadium and Memorial Stadium both were built in the early 1920's and the latter held 70,000 vs 30,000 for our facility. People tend to forget that.

I don't think my Kewgs act like Oregon is a rival - there is fundamentally no basis for that, and even considering the creative self-image meanderings of my fellow Cuogs, that's a stretch for us!!!

I'm just saying they?? we!!! hate them, and not only do I wonder why, I suggest that a resurgent Oregon should make an self-respecting Cuog happy and proud by proxy.

I disagree with our resident CWU goofball - everybody else doesn't hate Oregon; he's just projecting. Most don't care about the Pac at all, so there's that. Of those even aware, Oregon is just this curious program in the NW corner who used to score a lot of points.

The truth is, we!!! are not capable of making a sustained run on Washington and overtaking them as the state's top program, - not in this century or the next. We!!! have too many fundamental disadvantages, starting with the fact that we're a school full of retards.

But Washington looks down on us damn it!!! They?! think they're better than us!!!, and that's fucking unacceptable. So why wouldn't I embrace the one program in the PNW who can embarrass Washington and make its entire fucking fan base question their place in the pecking order? We!!!! can't do it, so we!!! might as well support, or at least not hate on, the one progrum that can.

Sincerely,

Creepy Bartholomew Coug

Yes, I tend to forget that, because I don't care. Cal sucks. That's all we need to know.

They've had a few flashes in the past decades, but still suck. I'm fond though of reminding people why they had a 70,000 seat stadium in the first place. They are the original Minnesota/Syracuse.

I am, alas, a coog by virtue of my humble birth, pedestrian IQ and low station in life. A creepy. motherfucking. coooooog.

Jesus. That's fucking hard to say out loud. But the facts is the facts. I'm a man of the Palouse. I know you think you're better than me.
