re: Oregon Fans at Game

I can't find the link, but last week the Seattle paper ran an interview with former Huskies coach Jim Lambright, and he went off on how crummy the Duck fans were. He said they were classless, and that he would not feel safe taking his family down there for a UofO game. Caught me pretty off guard. He was still bitter years later. Say what you want about Tiger fans...we are obnoxious, but we are friendly.

Agreed, Tiger fans were a BLAST to tailgate with @ Husky Stadium in 2009 and am looking forward to the return trip next year.

Here's the Lambright quote:

"As for Oregon, I hate their attitude toward visiting fans and teams. They take away, totally, the sportsmanship that one receives at classy, high-quality schools when you visit. Autzen Stadium is the only place that, in all of my coaching, where I have felt like I didn't want my family or myself to go to."

Also, I previously posted here picking LSU to win this game by standing by my belief that Oregon simply cannot win a game when it matters... (big openers such as Boise State or bowl games) and it still holds true. Congrats to a well played game. Sadly, the Pac 10/12 has to go all the way back to 1987 to find a team that has actually won a Rose Bowl not played by UW or USC...
