HUSKIES ZERO IN ON DUCKS
DUCKS STILL AT ZERO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
LIST OF THINGS THAT MATTER MORE THAN BEATING OREGON STILL AT ZERO
ODDS OF GAMEDAY APPEARANCE AT ZERO
ZERO CHANCE WASHINGTON WINS THIS GAME
Hopeful Huskies head to Eugene with Zero Chance to Win
Long ago remolded Autzen Arena is the site for the latest renewal of the Northwest Hatefest that shall remain nameless for the foreseeable future. These two teams don't hate each other nearly as much as the fans hate each other.
Younger readers are often confused by this because since 1975 the alleged rivalry has been one sided for one side or the other with a brief spell of some even games in the 90's. First Don James made Rick Brooks his prison bitch for 17 years. Then Iron Mike Bellotti and Chipper Kelly made a series of Husky coaches their bitch but not our Rick Neuheisel who stands with Don James as Husky coaches with winning records against the Zeros.
Chris Petersen is two and three against the Ducks with a winning record only against William Taggert who only gets to coach down trodden programs. Marcus Christable took the reigns last year and led the Lemon and Lime to a resounding beat down in overtime.
For those looking for a trend the Huskies have won two of the last three match ups. Including a 70-21 cathartic beat down of almost national champion coach Mike Hufruich.
So after all the ups and downs of the last 40 years the series remains firmly in the favor of the Purple and the Gold. As do national and league championships and Rose Bowl wins. But I digress.
Why do these fans hate each other? On the internet it is because moral degenerate sociopaths represent both sides. But still.
As long time readers know I was raised a Husky by a pack of wolves. My dad had nothing but disdain for the northwest schools and focused on California. But he hated Oregon. And that was a big game during the 60's when both programs sucked after the Rose Bowl run by Jim Owens.
UW had voted for Cal to represent the Pacific Coast League in the Rose Bowl in 1848 or whatever and the team left out was Oregon. A famous last second winning TD pass was broken up by a fan falling out of a tree into the end zone at Montlake Stadium.
Dad packed up the whole family for the first ever Husky game at newly built and half empty Autzen Arena. Ken Woody was honored at halftime for the game winning kick in a stirring 3-0 Duck win the year before. Before that the home game for Oregon was played in Portland so Husky fans would come and buy tickets. My folks always went since my World War Two fighter pilot Uncle lived in Lake Oswego. My uncle would have been a UW alumni if he hadn't been thrown out of school for bootlegging. That's another story.
Husky fans who traveled to Autzen in the 80's during the reign of terror under James came to hate the Ducks for solid reasons as the crack head duck fans pushed grandmas down stairs and threw bags of sulfuric acid at Husky fans.
Inventive Duck fans threw dog biscuits at the 90's Huskies and Dave Hoffman famously started to eat them. They were laced with LSD.
Washington fans danced on the O after a 42-14 beat down at recently remodeled Autzen Arena in Rick's last year. Reggie Williams was the MVP and Phil Knight watched from his new owner's box as Dan Fouts broke down on air and was led away to the rubber ducky room. One more beat down at Husky Stadium would follow before the long Duckade began.
Oregon was more serious about football and took the lead in innovation and coaching and everything else except excuses which UW continued to lead the country in. Oregon was even first loser twice in this time. But No Natty. Zero. Zip. Nada.
Both sqwads appear even now and this has a chance to develop into the real rivalry that it has never been. The PAC 12 North hangs in the balance even though Oregon can lose and still win the North. The pressure is on the Road Dawgs this week. Its a must win big game. It's hard. It's a process. Practice perfects game day.

It should be noted that the Husky team we had hoped to see this year showed up in Tuscon and put a whipping on the Mildcats 51 - 27. Skinny Eason took over head coaching duties at halftime and rallied the troops from behind to a big DESERT win. Its hard to win in the Desert. People forget that.

Oregon boundary dispute
The Oregon Country/Columbia District stretched from 42°N to 54°40′N. The most heavily disputed portion is highlighted.
The Oregon boundary dispute or the Oregon Question was a territorial dispute over the political division of the Pacific Northwest of North America between several nations that had competing territorial and commercial aspirations over the region.
Expansionist competition into the region began in the 18th century, with participants including the Russian Empire, the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States. By the 1820s, both the Russians, through the Russo-American Treaty of 1824 and the Russo-British Treaty of 1825, and the Spanish, by the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, formally withdrew their territorial claims in the region. Through these treaties the British and Americans gained residual territorial claims in the disputed area.[1] The remaining portion of the North American Pacific coast contested by the United Kingdom and the United States was defined as the following: west of the Continental Divide of the Americas, north of Mexico's Alta California border of 42nd parallel north, and south of Russian America at parallel 54°40′ north; typically this region was referred to as the Columbia District by the British and the Oregon Country by the Americans. The Oregon dispute began to become important in geopolitical diplomacy between the British Empire and the new American republic, especially after the War of 1812.
In the 1844 U.S. presidential election, ending the Oregon Question by annexing the entire area was a position adopted by the Democratic Party. Some scholars have claimed the Whig Party's lack of interest in the issue was due to its relative insignificance among other more pressing domestic problems.[2] Democratic candidate James K. Polk appealed to the popular theme of manifest destiny and expansionist sentiment, defeating Whig Henry Clay. Polk sent the British government the previously offered partition along the 49th parallel. Subsequent negotiations faltered as the British plenipotentiaries still argued for a border along the Columbia River. Tensions grew as American expansionists like Senator Edward A. Hannegan of Indiana and Representative Leonard Henly Sims of Missouri, urged Polk to annex the entire Pacific Northwest to the 54°40′ parallel north, as the Democrats had called for in the election. The turmoil gave rise to slogans such as "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" As relations with Mexico were rapidly deteriorating following the annexation of Texas, the expansionist agenda of Polk and the Democratic Party created the possibility of two different, simultaneous wars for the United States. Just before the outbreak of the Mexican–American War, Polk returned to his earlier position of a border along the 49th parallel.
The 1846 Oregon Treaty established the border between British North America and the United States along the 49th parallel until the Strait of Georgia, where the marine boundary curved south to exclude Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands from the United States. As a result, a small portion of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, Point Roberts, became an exclave of the United States. Vague wording in the treaty left the ownership of the San Juan Islands in doubt, as the division was to follow "through the middle of the said channel"[3] to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. During the so-called Pig War, both nations agreed to a joint military occupation of the islands. Kaiser Wilhelm I of the German Empire was selected as an arbitrator to end the dispute, with a three-man commission ruling in favor of the United States in 1872. There the Haro Strait became the border line, rather than the British favored Rosario Strait. The border established by the Oregon Treaty and finalized by the arbitration in 1872 remains the boundary between the United States and Canada in the Pacific Northwest.

Regional Activities
American Protestant missionaries began to arrive in the 1830s and established the Methodist Mission in the Willamette Valley and the Whitman Mission east of the Cascades.[15] Ewing Young created a saw mill[16] and a grist mill in the Willamette Valley early in the 1830s.[17] He and several other American colonists formed the Willamette Cattle Company in 1837 to bring over 600 head of cattle to the Willamette Valley, with about half of its shares purchased by McLoughlin. Over 700 U.S settlers arrived via the Oregon Trail in the "Great Migration of 1843". The Provisional Government of Oregon was established in the Willamette Valley during 1843 as well. Its rule was limited to those interested Americans and former French-Canadian HBC employees in the valley.
"Fifty-four Forty or Fight!"
A popular slogan later associated with Polk and his campaign of 1844, "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" was not actually coined during the election. It only appeared by January 1846, promoted and driven in part by the Democratic Party associated press. The phrase has since become frequently misidentified as a Polk campaign slogan, even in many textbooks.[2][24][25][26] Bartlett's Familiar Quotations attributes the slogan to William Allen. 54°40′ was the southern boundary of Russian America, and considered the northernmost limit of the Pacific Northwest. One actual Democratic campaign slogan from this election (used in Pennsylvania) was the more mundane "Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff of '42".[24]
Oregon Treaty
Main article: Oregon Treaty
The Oregon Territory, as established after the Oregon Treaty, superimposed over the current state boundaries.
Pakenham and Buchanan drew up a formal treaty, known as the Oregon Treaty, which was ratified by the Senate on June 18, 1846, by a vote of 41–14. The mainland border was set at the 49th parallel, the original U.S. proposal, with navigation rights on the Columbia River granted to British subjects living in the area. Senator William Allen, one of the most outspoken advocates of the 54° 40′ claim, felt betrayed by Polk and resigned his chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee. The signing of the treaty ended the joint occupation with the United Kingdom, making most Oregonians south of the 49th parallel U.S. citizens.[59]
Henry Commager appraised the factors leading to the settlement as "a combination of temporary, fortuitous, and circumstantial phenomena, extraneous to the local situation, largely outside of American control, and foreign to American influence."[60] Canadian Hugh LL. Keenlyside and American Gerald S. Brown wrote a century after the treaty that
under the existing conditions, [it] was just and equitable. Neither nation had a clear legal title to any of the territory, and the result was practically an equal division. Great Britain was given the better harbors, and greater resources in minerals, timber, and fish; the United States received much more agricultural land, and a district that has, on the whole, a better climate. This decision, moreover, is almost unique among the solutions of American boundary troubles, in that it has been accepted with reasonable satisfaction by both nations. A better proof of its justice could hardly be demanded.[61]
The terms of the Oregon Treaty were essentially the same ones that had been offered earlier by the Tyler administration, and thus represented a diplomatic victory for Polk.[62] However, Polk has often been criticized for his handling of the Oregon question. Historian Sam W. Haynes characterizes Polk's policy as "brinkmanship" which "brought the United States perilously close to a needless and potentially disastrous conflict".[63] David M. Pletcher notes that while Polk's bellicose stance was the by-product of internal American politics, the war crisis was "largely of his own creation" and might have been avoided "with more sophisticated diplomacy".[64] According to Jesse Reeves, "Had Palmerston been in Aberdeen's position at the time of Polk's 'firm' pronouncement, Polk might have lost Oregon."[65] Aberdeen's desire for peace and good relations with the United States "are responsible for the settlement that Polk thought to gain by a firm policy. That Aberdeen was "bluffed" by Polk is absurd."[65]
The treaty set the mainland boundary at the 49th parallel and retained Vancouver Island as British territory, but it was ambiguously phrased about the route of the boundary through the water. The treaty provided that the marine boundary would follow "the deepest channel" out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which left the fate of the San Juan Islands in question. After the "Pig War", arbitration by Kaiser William I of the German Empire led to the Treaty of Washington, which awarded the United States all the islands.
Upper Canada politicians and public, already angry with the Oregon Treaty, were once again upset that Britain had not looked after their interests and sought greater autonomy in international affairs.
Grams (RIP) loved her Dawgs. The tumble didn't hurt her nearly as much as the cheers from the section of crass Duck fans that applauded her fall. All this for wearing her favorite Husky jacket in Autzen that Gramps (RIP) bought her at the '78 Rose Bowl.
Btw, which schools did your other dad pull for?
Also, the game is in Bend.
Roboduck has really gone off the rails.
Seriously.
