Duck1984 No. 1 Share Posted November 24, 2021 A group of four of us are going to the Pac12 championship game Dec 3. We are Duck fanatics. We are native Oregonians. We want to see a rematch with Utah, but would accept an OSU vs Utah matchup. We DON’T care to see WSU play Utah, so do we need to root for the Huskies?

30Duck Moderator No. 3 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The idea of even wanting the Huskies to win is disturbing, and for the Ducks' interest, if the Cougars beat the Huskies, the Beavers lose their chance for the Rose Bowl. which will dampen their fire a bit.

I married into a Husky den, but converted my gal to the Duck side. I feel you, but REALLY don’t want to root for the Cougs either. And I hesitate to root for Utah, because they are Duck dream killers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But knowing many Beavers fans, beating the Ducks is more important than a Rose Bowl game to them. But do the players feel the same way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do the players feel the same way? In the past, Beavs have been pretty adept at putting the horse before the cart. The unforgettable 2008 C***l War is a case in point. But, Jonathan Smith is not Mike Riley and will have his team focused on us and not the brass ring. No way can I wish any success for the mutts. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck1984 Author No. 15 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I have pretty much decided that I don’t care who wins the Apple Cup. The Ducks will win the North, beat the Utes in a rematch for the Pac12 championship, and play in the Rose Bowl. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C J No. 16 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Yes, I am definitely rooting for the huskies over the cougs because my second favorite team is the Beavers. Hopefully the Ducks can take the game against the Beavers Saturday, but if not then I would still be pretty stoked watching the Beavers in the Pac12 championship game. They might have a better shot at actually winning that game considering they already beat Utah once this season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, what can I say, I grew up in a small town in SW Oregon traveling up to Autzen periodically starting in 7th grade. Our Junior High football coach was big on getting kids on the team up to Autzen to watch games in the late 80's. The UofO cancelled my academic program after measure 5 passed in the 90's so I had to transfer from Lane Community College to Oregon State to get my desired education. So long story short is I am a Duck fan from the time I was about 5 years old, but I did attend Oregon State. My solution is to root for both teams except when they play each other at which time I always root for the Ducks. Go huskies on Friday night!!!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 22 Share Posted November 24, 2021 If Oregon loses then I won’t really care, but I lived in Spokane for 14 years. Therefore, the Cougs always have my allegiance in the Apple Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoquack No. 23 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Better Cougar teams than this have gagged in the Apple Cup. While I'm rooting for them to beat the Fuskies, my confidence level is low. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Washington games she has senmen since she met me are the ones where Oregon is winning. She has seen more Oregon games than Washington games at this point. It only works because she doesn't care about sports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
