USC fans don't have the passion to maintain anything beyond a synthetic flaming candle in my experience. There's a misconception in SEC land that there aren't any fans on the West coast that care as much about college football as they do in the South. I don't find that to be true with Oregon fans. USC "fans" have the Lakers, Dodgers, Rams, Kings and their social media acclaim status to spend their free time on. Miami "fans" are the same. Maybe it's because they are private schools. I just feel like Oregon fans would show up to watch the Ducks during a seven win season. USC fans would check out and go watch the Lakers or Kardashians. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the difference between the USC Honk & the UW Honk are so stark. The USC fan is a frontrunner, the biggest frontrunner of all the bluebloods. Cue Jerry Reed, "When you're hot you're hot, when you're not you're not" is the theme song for USC fan, and even then, it's an inch thick. JuJu Watkins is a fantastic basketball player, but USC basketball? Jimmy Kimel could send out a camera crew, all day, and not find a single fan who could name the starting line up. Whereas UW Honk is just seriously delusional about UW's Blueblood status. The 91 championship team was great. Look through the season. But really. that's it. You have to keep going back, and back to find the span that UW dominated OBD, and the 70 point game, done under the coaching eye of Petersen, is the most classless act by a coach in my time as a fan. The constant whining about Knight, the "academic prowess" Kelsey Plum >Sabrina Ionescu. are you kidding? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant whining about Knight, the "academic prowess" Kelsey Plum >Sabrina Ionescu. are you kidding? When they hate you, it's a sign that deep down they respect you imo. I mean Oregon went undefeated but the fans only stormed the field once all year. Why? The opponent. Washington has a lot of wins as a program, but I don't see them as a storm the field opponent. The fact that Oregon is in their head with the 70 point game, or the Plum > Ionescu just shows you own a space in their head. I personally want to see fans engage in these emotional (not violent or hateful) actions against my team because it means they're good enough to take up that space. USC fans are just to blase to really care. They think their team should win, and outside of Notre Dame, Michigan or Ohio State, they really don't see anybody on their level. To them you have to have multiple championships and a 60 year plus run of being "elite". They'll keep up that arrogance no matter what. Oregon is a better program, and has been a top five program for two decades now. I think it's time to pay attention. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the passion, success, and money are reasons why Oregon will continue to recruit at an elite level. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
