    Not really. Having lived both, the Oregon/Washington rivalry is a lot more heated.

    UA/ASU are still in that "happy to be here/we don't belong" side of things.

    Having coached down there forever too, when a kid gets a UA or ASU offer they are excited. When someone like USC or Oregon offers them it's a HUGE deal. Sorry Doogs, you were irrelevant then, and probably still are to kids in that area.

    I think the biggest reason the UA/ASU rivalry isn't very good is because no one is from Arizona. Everyone is a transplant so they like their home team and just follow the local schools because they are there.
    One time azduck and I were hanging out and we went to a Chinese restaurant. I ordered Peking duck to see if they'd kill him for me and I would be able to get off free. True story*

    Its always been a feast or famine type of rivalary since 1975. It was fairly even to that point with the Huskies holding an edge and winning Rose Bowls. Then James dominated. Then Bellotti took the lead and Chip finished the duckade

    Now we are BACK and set to dominate the next 20 years

    If it got to the point where both teams were dominate it would be one of the best rivalries in China

    It is the closest thing soft af west coast football has to an SEC-level hate fest.
    WSU hates UW as much as any rivalry imo. Not reciprocated though.

    the Arizona schools indulge in some quality in-state hate
    ASU wins rather easily. Gorgeous campus and college district of Phoenix. Highlight of my trip to the Fiesta bowl last year.
    Gorgeous campus? ASU?

    To each his own I guess.

    Doesn't matter, because NOGAF about the Arizona schools. Neither one of them has ever won anything. At least Oregon turned in a nice decade and won some shit, UW historically has won some shit. Arizona is where football dreams go to die.

    ASU did win a Rose Bowl in the 80s and came a c hair away from a Natty with Pumpy legend Coach Synder in '96.
