I had to go over and check their board after our game with the Bastard Huskies, and I am seeing the same changes of attitude I saw from USC fans. They claim that Oregon is doing it because of money, (no surprise) but Washington fans acknowledge there is great coaching going on in Eugene. The absence the extreme level of malice that I used to see for years...is astounding.

Frankly...it was hard to find much, and it was all pretty routine and underwhelming. Such a change from the past!

"If Demond had a played a good game, not even great, we probably win."

"UNike has a $40 million roster this season and the UW does not. Ohio State has far more blue chip talent than the UW does. The UW simply does not have that level of support in $$$ from its big wallet guys. Both OSU and UNike will be Top 5 in the CFP rankings..." (When USC and Washington fans complain about money...I laugh. There are more multimillionaires in the Seattle metro area than anywhere else in the US...other than Silicon Valley. All those tech companies? Huskies are lazy at raising money...)

"For us old timers, how the Ducks did it was identical to what we would do to them under Coach James back in the day especially down in Eugene. It is the same formula the casinos use with their slot machines. Set them for the houses advantage, turn them on, and eventually after enough times and button pushes the house always wins."

"This why I felt that there was very little chance that the Huskies could beat UNike yesterday. The talent difference is still just too great."

"I said last week that I hate Oregon. Nothing changed after this game. The simple fact was Oregon was better than us Saturday. It kills me to say that. But they beat us in every phase of the game: Offense, Defense, Special Teams, and Coaching. They made plays when they had to do it. It’s a shame because this was a winnable game, we simply didn’t perform well enough to win and they did. I don’t see Oregon as a top team going into the playoffs, but they did what really good teams do and were able to finish us off."

"Let’s go win a bowl game and carry momentum into 2026… and root for any team that plays Oregon in the CFP."

...not compared to THIS guy, anyway.

Ruh-Roh! Are Huskies Beginning to RESPECT Oregon?

NO!!! Say it isn't so!

In regards to Husky whining and complaints about NIL/portal funding of Oregon football, the Seattle sports scene reminds me of LA, or any other mega city where the victory hungry spot light siphons off support and interest to whoever is doing better.

Case in point: at Husky Stadium, I saw numerous purple puppy farm fans wearing Mariner and Seahawks hats or jerseys, and in some cases, both.

As in LA, the $$ is there. It just has no loyalty.

Kinda my biggest reason for not wanting the NFL in Portland. The Ducks and lesser so the Beavs are THE teams in Oregon.

Sure there are the Blazers but they chronically mismanaged and they are basketball so it doesn't have the same pull as the NFL.
