I'm not going to compare the Washington football program to Notre Dame or Penn State or Ohio State (although in the past 3 years the purple and gold have been far more successful than that trio.). Actually, I will compare it to Notre Dame, where half the fans sold their tickets to Nebraska fans 2 years ago. Off the top of my head, OSU, PSU, Tennessee, the Florida schools, Nebraska, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M probably have better fans. But thats about it.

I was simply comparing Husky football fans to fans of other Seattle sporting entities. In this comparison, the devotion of Dawg fans far eclipses the devotion of Mariner, Sonic and Seahawk fans.

As for a UO/UW game at Husky Stadium, unless it wasn't football, it was 3 years ago. Huck the Fuskies isn't uncommon; we got that from K-State fans and Texas fans at the Holiday bowls. If it was the UW victory at night 3 seasons ago vs. Oregon, then I don't know what our fans were doing. I do know, however, the Colorado fans were definately harassed in 1999. I know that Oregon alums who drive to Eugene from the state of Washington find their cars (thanks to their WA state tags) vandalized. I know that Oregon fans throw dog feces on Husky players in Eugene. And Oregon receives similar treatment from us. Its not the same level as other rivalries, but its the best of the worst the Northwest has to offer.

Back to the thread. Wear whatever the heck you want to Safeco field. No one cares. In fact, I hope there are lots of Yankee fans in the stadium this weekend. It will show how sad Mariners' ticket holders are for selling their tickets while their team plays some of the best regular season baseball in history.
