Hello from the Land of Cotton

Is it still tradition to put the best running back from each team on a wooden flatbed cart and take their measurements prior to each game?

Some schools call their rivals a backup option for the sake of putting them down, but in this case it really is true that the one thing all the students at UW and WSU have in common is that they applied to UW. (see uwrejects.com) When boomers went to college the academic stature was more comparable but UW really took off and has been hands down a superior option for everything the two schools offer in common for decades now. This gathers failures and rare late bloomers from across the state and assembles them in Pullman. There are other state schools, like Western Washington U, which are a step down from UW academically, but can still offer you a full university experience without having to go to WSU, so this futher funnels a special type of retard to Pullman.AtlantaGump said:I'd really love to hear a general breakdown of the Wazzu/Washington relationship. I've always read about how it's cultural between the Cascade divide and all that, but I've never read much from actual fans about it.
Are there a bunch of them on the Coast? Are there many Washington people in Eastern Washington?
All I know is Mike Price had no issues in Pullman and within about a week everyone in Alabama knew he was creating on sorority girls at bars on campus. I'm guessing he didn't suddenly develop that behavior on the red eye flight over. So, they must be pretty damndd isolated. And ignored.
Spokane is a decent sized city but outside of that there is not a lot going on east of the cascades so a lot of coogs move back west (accordingly you find relatively few Huskies in Eastern Washington). WSU has tried playing football games in Seattle before to make it easier for their fans to attend games. They have a hard time filling their 35,000 capacity stadium on campus. The real passion for coogs is not any successes they achieve, which are few and far between, but rather Husky failures. They live to try and upset us in the Apple Cup. That is their one joy in life and unfortunately their pathetic, miserable lives gain the sustenance they seek occassionally.
The Apple cup talk starts around 7:55 and captures some of the feel of the cultural differences and how they are really second rate.

I suggest Clermont Lounge for those types of activities. It lives up to its billing and chances are high you'll receive a lap dance from a 47 year old right next to Jon Ham or Robert Downey Jr.
"fvck" is the original Latin usage, so it mvst be OK
Clermont is on Ponce a mile or so east of Midtown. -

I, for one, say FVCK IT! Let the Toods stay except for the ones who suck.
Having grown up close to Auburn (on the right side of the Taylor Trophy issue!) and having my BFF live in the 'other' Auburn - I have plenty of anti-Auburn sentiment, so I'm naturally sympathetic. -

Unlike the rest of our conference who clings to our robe begging for morsels, we don't need or want to chant SEC SEC SEC all over the place. We are the SEC. So, we cast our eyes Westward looking for the next threat to the throne, and there be ye Huskies.
I've always liked Washington from afar. Awesome stadium, badass colors, seemingly passionate alumni base. You guys ain't half bad.
Fvck you though -
Let me also add how hilarious Oregon fall from grace has been. The cockguzzling of those little posers from the national media the last decade has been laughable.

Any Husky who knew enough to use a Mike Dubose avatar in an elaborate ruse would get two thumbs up from me
Did any of y'all go to Baton Rouge a few years ago? -

Yep ... great trip ... had no expectations from the game whatsoever ... made the inevitable anal plungering that much more enjoyable.AtlantaGump said:Any Husky who knew enough to use a Mike Dubose avatar in an elaborate ruse would get two thumbs up from me

I went to Baton Rouge, but I live in the "Land of Cotton" close to ATL (at the time I was in Dallas).
They yelled "Tiger Bait" at us and we had Seven Win as our coach, so we were completely fucked. It was around my bday so mostly an excuse to go carouse in NOLA and fucking carouse we did.
Baton Rouge is no joke: ask Boosie. Even he moved to ATL. -
It's a different place for sure. Bucket list trip (I went to the Saban return game in 2008), but not on my return list.Dennis_DeYoung said:I went to Baton Rouge, but I live in the "Land of Cotton" close to ATL (at the time I was in Dallas).

Speaking of Coach DuBose, I dated a girl in the Shaun Alexander era whose dad was a huge Bama booster (not like top level, but gave ~50k year) and I was a big Bama fan pre-Saban. Those were fun teams to follow. Antwan Odom and all those DTs out of Memphis you guys paid for.AtlantaGump said:

I even went to Shreveport for Saban's first Bowl Game vs. the Buffs. That was my first experience with actual Bama fans. I'll just let that one sit there.
Anyway, sad to see what's happened to the program under Saban.

I was in school during the Shula era and grew up going to games during the post Stallings Ncaa probation years. It was a nightmare (something Husky fans can relate to).Dennis_DeYoung said:

Most of us will never taking winning for granted due to the memories of that decade.
As for your experience in Shreveport, all I can say is we have our fair share of what we call sidewalk alums (others call them t-shirt fans). They are the ones who poison trees and shoot people when we lose. Fortunately they can't afford games like the Peach Bowl -
The Tiger Bait didn't really bother me after the game because we were ...Dennis_DeYoung said:I went to Baton Rouge, but I live in the "Land of Cotton" close to ATL (at the time I was in Dallas).

Before the game we tailgated with a fairly well connected City of Baton Rouge employee (I'll just leave it at that) ... we ran into this person on Friday leaving our hotel and he insisted that we attend his tailgate. We went to dinner and ran across another person inviting us to their tailgate ... when we said that we couldn't because we already accepted an invitation to another tailgate this second person laughed and told us it was the same tailgate.
Long story short, there had to be 300+ people at this tailgate and the stories spun to my Yankee friends (like @Dennis_DeYoung I had also lived in Dallas for a time) had them shooting looks at me as if to say that the stories that I had been telling them over the years that they thought were complete bullshit perhaps weren't so bullshit. I laugh any time I talk to those on the trip about the South and the good ole boy network. -
When your seats as a visitor are at the back row of the stadium seemingly 10k feet in the air ... it's hard to muster the desire to want to go do that again.AtlantaGump said:

That being said, going to a game on a Louisiana Saturday Night should be on every college football fans bucket list. -
Okay fuck you, it was a dude. Fine. Bama fans aren't comfortable with their sexuality yet so I was trying to make it Bammer friendly.RaceBannon said:

You have to ruin everything including hospitality. -

WSUs plays one meaningful game a season, the Apple Cup. They could go 1-11 but if their one win was the apple cup it was a successful season (this almost happened in 08 when we were 0-12 and WSU went 2-10 and beat us in an overtime game.)
Before the apple cup WSU fans go crazy with the shit talking. They love to cherry pick specific statistics to convince themselves they will win by 2+ TDs. Then when they lose by 4 TDs they always try and say the didn't care and that the huskies should have won because they are more talented. They also love their post game excuses. In 2015 they would have won if their starting QB would have played but of course since he didn't that explained the 41-10 ads whooping. This years excuse (although not as bad as last year) is that they lost their 2nd best WR. "If Carcraft would have played and the Huskies didn't have 3 goal line stops the score would have probably been 45-42 instead of 45-17".
Lather, rinse, repeat. Every fucking year the same sequence of events.
Until this year they had been living vicariously through our actual rival Oregon since Oregon had beaten us 100 years in a row. That's gone for them now too since we beat Oregon by 50 this year.
WSU is more of a little brother than a rivalry. -
