The loss to Coug has me

By your reasoning, Michigan and Ohio State shouldn’t be rivals.
Washington/Oregon were by far the best rivalry in the P12. Not even close.
Sports-wise, UW and UCLA have little in common.

Poasting is hard.

It would be beyond idiotic to stop playing any of these rivalry games, for any of the parties, for multiple reasons. My cherry picking shows UW is 12-3 in the last 15 vs Cuog, and Oregon is 14-3 in the last 17 vs beev. Losing to little bro twice a decade isn't going to sink any ships.
When the Territorial Cup is played those two shit ass programs will get predictions on college gameday, highlights on primetime CFB shows, and a national broadcast.
They'll each make comensurately more money and get comensurately more exposure from that game than playing even better opponents throughout the rest of the year. They'll sell more beer, more hotdogs, more t-shirts, and won't have to take 4.5 hour flight to get there.We need money and hype, money and hype. Rivalry games bring both. If you want these games cancelled you are an idiot who wants your own program to be worse off, whether or not you're the 3-12 fan or the 12-3 fan.

These are all decent points. I think if you can replace it with a big non-conference game you're way better off. Give yourself way better national exposure and excitement and the chance to make a statement win or even loss early in the season as a program that needs that. If you're scheduling a big non-conference opponent you also will pack the stadium and give your fans chances for fun road trips every year. This is more complicated and less absolutely needed being in the Big 10 but still better than playing the Coug. An early season loss to the Coug just fucks up things so bad.

WSU is not a rival. Maybe it's different in Oregon.

Our? relegation and that of Beave means that money and hype will be in short supply within a few seasons. What these games will become, and they had some of this already, is the equivalent of the flagship programs playing a greased up Fresneck or SDSU. Nobody cares about those games UNTIL you lose one, then you get laffed out of the polls.
No upside remains for you? guys. Plenty of upside for my Cuog and for Beav, who will be licking their collective buck teeth every year for a chance to fuck the duck. It's like Colorado playing Colorado State. My Cuog and my Beave are on their way to becoming Colorado State. IOW, nobody cares.
But, please, UW, continue to schedule my Cuog. I have a case of grease in my garage and a chip on my shoulder the size of Mt. Rainier.

These takes are so fucking stupid

My dad who bled purple and gold never gave a shit about WSU and hated the game every year. He wanted to beat the California schools and Oregon
I carried on the tradition

Cuog told us? till they were blue in the face that they didn't ever want to have anything to do with UW after we? told them to find their own fucking ride home for a change. It was the perfect time to cut the cord and let cuog die the certain death they deserved. But no. The fucking bleeding hearts said we? can't let this happen to poor cuog. We? need to lift their sorry asses up as some sort of fucking penance.
It only seems like a rivalry because cuog is the guy in the bar that never passes out no matter how drunk he gets and no matter how many times he gets laid out for being a loudmouth dumbass. So, we? keep humoring him and — seven times out of 10 — we? keep laying him out.
To call it a rivalry is fucking stupid. Rivals beat you more than three times out of every 10 chances. This is not that.
