Oregon's Hatred of Washington: Justified

Even though these links were posted by RJ Schaer over at AOL Fanhouse before the 2006 meeting between the Huskies and Ducks, it doesn't make them any less relevant. RJ did a great job of breaking down the origins of the hatred between Oregon and Washington. It's nice to go back to these each year to remind us why their is such a hated rivalry between these two teams.

• #1: Stolen Roses - Not only voting against the Ducks but pressuring another team to do the same.


• #2: Cheat, Probation, Repeat as Necessary - Kind of makes you wonder what Slick Rick is up to down in LA?


• #3: Husky Fans Tackle Oregon Player - And they call the Oregon/Oklahoma game a controversial game?


• #4: 'Yell Leader' Rob Weller - Karma's a bitch, isn't it?!?


• #5: Husky Dancing - Just when the rivalry seemed to be loosing some of it's steam... Leave it to Neuheisel to throw some gas on the fire. Here is an article by Bob Condotta at the Seattle Times released before the 2004 game and prior to the current 4 game winning streak by the Ducks.


• #6: Hater Jim Lambright - Mike Bellotti, the perennial preacher of hate...


• #7: UW Lies about Inventing "The Wave" - Seriously? That's like saying Oregon invented the duck call.


• #8: The Seattle Bowl - Hmmmm.... Some more karma?!? Still not bowling....


• #9: DuRocher - Seriously who wants to earn something when they can have it handed over? What RJ didn't know at the time he posted this is that weeks later Karma would bite yet again (Though even a Duck fan can't cheer for that).


• #10: Things Left Out of the Other 9 - Only thing left to say is "Huck the Fuskies!"
