Yep. Some are wackos...

My Husky Hatred is Irrational...is YOURS?

(Pay no attention to who the author is)

Hmmm…

Is excluding purple from my wardrobe irrational?

Btw…I only wear orange when state law mandates it.

When living in Washington and attending a few Dawg/Duck games home and away I had a chance to compare the hatred of the Oregon and Washington to the IU/PUkes (purdue) rivalry. I would see the hatred, believe it or not, might be a little more intense back in the state of Indiana. Yet in 2003 I am sitting at Husky Stadium watching Gerry DiNardo's (BTN now) IU's Hoosiers play UDub.

Of course Washington has won the game by early in the 3rd quarter, when a Husky fan stands up in the section next to the IU Visitor section and yells "**** IU we HATE THE DUCKS" and is waving a 10' pole with a duck hanging by a noose around it's neck .... it brought the loudest roar from the crowd the game had.

Add on the Twitter posts I see now between Duck and Dawg fans ... I would say the hatred is real between you two ... but until you shut down an IU and PUke forum for two weeks due to personal threats in the Indy Star forum many years ago, the UO/UW hatred might rank #2.

I understand not wearing colors of rivals. I follow the same policy. So Drake, it is not irrational excluding purple and orange from your wardrobe ... it just makes sense to do so with the colors of our rival teams.

My employer had mandatory oran̈ge.coveralls provided for many years... I had a strange knack for "accidentally" ripped them in short order.

Funny. I'm not normally that careless.

My older brother kept inviting my son and I to got to football games in Seattle, to sit on a yacht with his buddy, who happened to be a high ranking fuskie administrator.

Just couldn't do it.
