According to this guy, the Alabama/Auburn rivalry is worse than the UW/Oregon. This is false and another example of bias against the west coast, like, "oh, it's just the west coast, they don't ~really~ have rivalries

    Your posts are usually shit and difficult to decipher. Are you griping about someone thinking that Auburn-Bama is a more heated rivalry than ours with the Ducks? Because you'd be hard pressed to effectively argue against that. Those fuckers hate each other.

    I take umbrage at your first, not because it's false, but because accusing a man of a "difficult to decipher" post here is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. As far as your main point, you would be OK with an assistant from Dukks for head coach. No.

    Well it is far more heated in real life

    We? don't spike trees

    Or kill dudes. Someone got shot last year over an sec game. I’m okay with that.
    There are multiple shootings each year related to SEC games, and the occasional murder.



    LSU isn’t even Bama’s main rival, and to have a shooting happen in the Ducks backyard without them being involved shows that IT JUST MEANS MORE isn’t an empty phrase.

    Dennis Dodd is fucking stupid

    Not entirely. I believe he did pick UW to make the CFP in 2016/17.

    Went to see Baton Rouge to see OSU @ LSU in 2004.

    3 days before game, parking lots are full of RVs with people tailgating.

    Went to pizza place that evening. Asked waitress if it was unusual to have so many people tailgating 3 days before their first game.

    She looked at me like I was nuts. She simply stated: You ought to be here when Florida or Alabama come to visit. This ain’t nothing.

    Apparently, you’ve never been to an SEC game. The fans care way more IMHO.

    I've always said UW/UO is the closest thing to an SEC hate rivalry. I've never said it was the same as one. As for the relative intensity as measured by stupid people doing ridiculous things, ok, the southeastern US wins. As for the level of acrimony, I'd say UW/UO has nothing to apologize for. There is sufficient hate there for the average fan.

    Also, not every rivalry in the south is as intense as Iron Bowl. The Florida/Georgia rivalry is not more jacked up than UW/UO IMO. Lots more drinking, sure. But do they hate each more than we? do? I don't think so.

    To me, the mother of all rivalries is Michigan/Ohio State. That game truly matters to many people regardless of the situation. I want to attend that one before I kick the bucket.

    UW/UO had a chance to take off as a true rivalry before UW fell on its ass and then people out west stopped caring about football. It’s nowhere near SEC-level sadly.

    I did see my dad’s friend slip a lit cigarette into the jacket pocket of a Duck fan celebrating like an ass outside Husky Stadium on our way out in 1995. Guy didn’t even notice. Screaming Duck fan also got punched in the face and spit out teeth.

    Stoops talk got me to remember the Ducks knocked the Huskies out of playing for a natty in 2000. Man what a cursed rivalry for UW. Would have been interesting if they played in Husky Stadium in 2001. Knowing the Pac-12 they forced that bye thinking the rivalry was too intense or so Oregon wouldn’t get beat

    Don't forget Texas/OU (they aren't SEC yet). That and Ohio State/Michigan are the two biggest legit shutdown entire states to watch a football game rivalries there are.

    I don’t know. The UConn vs UMass game is huge.

    I don't remember, but I do recall that there was a time earlier in this century where someone apparently deemed it illegal to play these games in Husky Stadium.

    The transformation to the Pac 10 in 1978 resulted in misses. It took the Pac 10 awhile to get their reads down so UW would miss Oregon like any other conference team. After that year they tweaked things where The NW schools played every year

    The Pac 12 make the 4 California schools play every year despite being in different divisions

    I believe after this the Pac-10 changed it so indirect rivalries like Oregon/Washington and the California schools against each other wouldn’t be allowed to not happen.

    It shows early issues with the conference or a tilt to give Oregon and advantage. Oregon and UW were the clear 1-2 in the conference going into that season, rivals and Oregon knocked UW out of the national championship the year before and the conference allowed the game not to happen. Would have been a massive game.

    Had they played Uw wins the conference if they can win in Husky Stadium. Obviously they don’t given the history of the series but Rick was mostly good against Oregon and Husky Stadium was actually kind of an equalizer back then.

    The conference also didn’t have USC and UW happen in 2000 when they were the preseason 1-2.

    You really should have just stuck with your Central Schtick. As it’s clear the TDS has penetrated the cortex and is prevalent in most lobes.

    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

    This. If you want to be Texas/OU big, then play it on White Oppressor Day and tell WSU to go tip cows.

    It's not a schtick. I just gave up on big time cfb mostly.
