As someone who has been to plenty of UW / Oregon games at home and down there through the years....and witnessed plenty of altercations in and outside the stadiums.

Don’t the even get me started on the topic of UW vs Duck fan bases when it come to behavior, especially at Autzen. The cultures of these schools couldn’t be more different when it comes to location, tradition, and academic factors. And thus how it translates to what behavior you get from the majority of students and alumni involving the sports programs and games. I’m not saying everyone. But I’m still talking about the majority fanbases and that’s where the rubber hits the road.

It’s not even remotely close, especially after Uncle Phil and his corporation basically took control of that “school” and the Chip Kelly years which were probably the worse I’ve ever seen their assholery towards not just UW, but all visiting fanbases.

I could go on for pages on this subject, but it’s always leads to the same programmed set of lies and victimhood from their fanbase as responses. Queue the failed attempts at moral relativism and whataboutism.

While there is a small core of decent Duck fans out there that I take no issues with and there is a few decent ones on the hoop here that I won’t disparage.... That rep things in a laid back classy way.... I’d call them a silent minority that attempts to promote a positive attitude with its fanbase, it unfortunately gets buried under a mountain of Nike sleaze and alcoholic/drugged up assholery.

While their recent struggles has actually benefited their fanbase as it jettisoned a lot of the bandwagon aholes and humbled some of the loudmouths, I’m not gonna bet that the assholery and sociopathic behavior to visiting fans at games will not come back once they taste some major success again. Nike has too much invested to let the program go back to mediocre.

It's incumbent on us to "hate" each other.

In all fairness, the games I have been to have crappy fans on both sides. It's a heated rivalry and a lot of fun.

No one questions there are asshats in every single fan base and there are likely individual bad stories from every stadium in the country. Some of the ones I've read about from Colorado fans toward Nebraska fans back in the day were pretty unreal.

I haven't ever personally witnessed a UW fan going over the top toward duck fans in any of the games I've been to at Husky stadium. Normally the rivalry stuff is pretty comical more than mean. Worst I ever see are fans throwing bread and I've seen plenty of duck fans stopping to catch the bread and play along. It's harmless stuff. I've seen a few fans taken out at those games, but never saw why. There were two drunk duck fans taken out this last year from something that happened half a row over, but no idea who started what. It's still nothing compared to what I've personally witnessed or other stories from family and friends from things that happened down there. So we all have our own personal experience bias.

Honestly I've seen more bitterness from cougs at husky stadium than ducks, but that again is limited. Any time the cougs get a lead at husky stadium their fans are entirely out of control. But that's the nature of cougs in general.

Hard to say who the most arrogant or otherwise obnoxious fans that way are. Kind of a tossup between USC and UCLA in my experience. But some of that goes back up to 40 years so not as recent as the duck and coug stuff.

Yeah, but it's entirely irrelevant when teams weren't also facing each other for a substantial part of that. If you are going to go back to pre Pac10 era, then only the original 8 can be compared and no shit USC leads that over UW and UCLA.

is he planning on playing both?

Yes. Apparently he's good enough in basketball that it currently makes USC the #1 recruiting class in basketball for 2019 when added to 5 star Onyeka Okongwu and 4 star Isaiah Mobley.

It's possible that he concentrates on only 1 sport later, but right now the plan is that he will play both.

His schollie will count against the football scholarships for whatever that's worth.

yeah i knew that. scholarship always defers to whats considered the more prominent sport or something. Jordan Kent went to oregon on a track scholarship which got moved to basketball when he joined his dads team and then to football when he did that also.
