PAC 12 doesn't have rivalry like SEC? coach search

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

They need to come to HH during HATE WEEK to see how crazy things get around here.

Or kill dudes. Someone got shot last year over an sec game. I’m okay with that.

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.

Have you heard of Weyerhaeuser? Seattle company founded to cut down every tree in Oregon and has been systematically been acquiring every logging company and forest in their state.

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.

Hey if we’re bashing on difficult to decipher posts then I’m outta here.

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.

I've attended both schools and UW/UO is little league compared to Bama vs AU/LSU/UT etc.

glad I got out of Bend early in the season

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

Remind me what that was about?

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.
