Which team do you dislike, why? personal experience friends drive you crazy? live close to the campus?

It's possible we ape the Fusky fans we detest. Washington still takes the cake, frankly... an arrogant lot that smells like fish.
Oregon State fans... I regard them as trying to bring Duck fans down to their level. It doesn't work that way, folks.
I went to school when Oregon was transforming from bad to mediocre in football. It's not like I don't have an appreciation for how this has been built, and the pace required... and, to a large degree, how much is left to go. No fan should EVER see their position as static. That's pretty much my comment on OSU fans... and you'd think there'd still be some pride remaining from their basketball runs in the 80s, but I'm not really seeing it.
Funny thing... hearing Boise State fans say "oh, we've passed you all up now, and we're aiming at (well, USC? Permanent BCS encampment?)." Reality will hit them soon as well.

Oregon has been there, done that and while they aren't the juggernaut I once thought they would be at this point, they seem to have a hot team every other year. They actually would be fine if they didn't choke down the stretch in the bad seasons. I give the edge to DA DUCKS!
Any National championship? I believe there was an Oregon kid last year by the name of Shane Webster who won a wrestling individual championship and took the quackers farther than they've gone in a while. And believe it or not I was pulling for OSU wrestling this year but they couldn't even muster up a better performance at the NCAA 'ships than Oregon did last year although they had a #16 ranking they are currently in 28th place.
And basketball?The only thing that could save OSU basketball right now would be to have AC Green and Gary Payton apply for another year of eligibility and reminiss fans of the glory years that will never happen again. Oregon might not win the whole shebang but will at least make the elite 8 and give Florida a run for their $$$.
Oh and baseball, who cares. I'd rather watch underwater basketweaving than America's pastlife.

That's probably the one time I thanked my lucky stars I couldn't make a game in Eugene (which happens much more often than not anyway).
I just hope that suit was used to burn down some building in Eugene as part of firefighter training.
