Oregon has a new generation of football fans,none older than 35.They have experienced a very good decade,that somehow makes this fanbase forget that football was played before the BCS.Their envy towards UDUBS multiple Rose Bowl wins,and Co National Championship is what fueled this rivalry.The young pale faced, red headed population of Eugene started mouthing of at husky fans that date back to WWII.Phil Knight,their lone fan thru the 70's,80's and most of the 90's is what created Nike U.They have recruited with the Nike Brand very successfully,and use Uncie Phils money to build an impressive football sweatshop....One that will likely go into flames within a few weeks,as the old NCAA is comin a knockin.Paid street agents,among other things etc...Soon they will be back to being the nobodies they were in the 1900's.
As for the Cougs,the Apple Cup has been boring...they had a cute lil 3 year run around 2003...but they suck,its a boring team,and boise st. Should replace them.
