    Oregon and Washington can't synch up to get a good rivalry going on the field since James showed up and left and Bellotti and the rest showed up at Oregon. Petersen was the chance but UW choked it out on the field. As usual. UW either wins by 4 TDs plus or loses. Loses a lot.

    Off the field both programs have gentrified with stadium remodels and expensive tickets.

    And yet it is an old and bitter series. We? joke about the 1948 vote by UW to send Cal to the Rose Bowl but that did happen. I took the family to Autzen in 1987 to see the semi annual Husky win there and Oregon broke a long home field losing streak to UW

    Like Babs I feared for my life getting out of there and my wife is mad at me still for taking her there. That was a pretty southern crowd.

    My dad sneered at the NW teams and got up for the Cal teams. So there is that subset of Husky fans that started the "Oregon isn't a rival" smack.

    What we? need is to be playing every year for the North and to both be really good at the same time

    Auburn has beat Nick more than any team. Often with bizarre plays. On national TV on Thanksgiving weekend

    UW should be like Oklahoma and relegate WSU to non rival status and play Oregon on Thanksgiving

    No one outside the NW would care.

    Just like the AC.

    The 2019 AC had 300,000 moar viewers than the UO UW gayme this year.

    You're lucky anyone watches the AC at all

    Relegating WSU to second tier rival has the benefit of upsetting Cuog fans as well

    Well the UW/Oregon game, being played at night, doesn't help with the East Coast demographics. Even then, I have a hard time believing that ... there's more chatter on the network/cable shows about UW/Oregon than there ever is about the Apple Cup. Certainly not equal to or above the great national rivalries, but I would say UW/Oregon is a rivalry that is noted and discussed on national level. Nobody is saying "huh? what?", like they do about the "Apple Cup." That one I would agree is a total "WGAF?" But any conversation about the Pac 12 and those two teams will include reference to the hate.
