Doogs and Cuogs have to LEAVE, but this bored is Nebraska classy when @Stalin implores us to be.
I, for one, say FVCK IT! Let the Toods stay except for the ones who suck.
Having grown up close to Auburn (on the right side of the Taylor Trophy issue!) and having my BFF live in the 'other' Auburn - I have plenty of anti-Auburn sentiment, so I'm naturally sympathetic.

Us Bammers enjoy paying attention to college football nationally.
Unlike the rest of our conference who clings to our robe begging for morsels, we don't need or want to chant SEC SEC SEC all over the place. We are the SEC. So, we cast our eyes Westward looking for the next threat to the throne, and there be ye Huskies.
I've always liked Washington from afar. Awesome stadium, badass colors, seemingly passionate alumni base. You guys ain't half bad.
Fvck you though

Let me also add how hilarious Oregon fall from grace has been. The cockguzzling of those little posers from the national media the last decade has been laughable.
I like this guy

Any Husky who knew enough to use a Mike Dubose avatar in an elaborate ruse would get two thumbs up from me
Did any of y'all go to Baton Rouge a few years ago?

I went to Baton Rouge, but I live in the "Land of Cotton" close to ATL (at the time I was in Dallas).
They yelled "Tiger Bait" at us and we had Seven Win as our coach, so we were completely fucked. It was around my bday so mostly an excuse to go carouse in NOLA and fucking carouse we did.
Baton Rouge is no joke: ask Boosie. Even he moved to ATL.

It's a different place for sure. Bucket list trip (I went to the Saban return game in 2008), but not on my return list.

Speaking of Coach DuBose, I dated a girl in the Shaun Alexander era whose dad was a huge Bama booster (not like top level, but gave ~50k year) and I was a big Bama fan pre-Saban. Those were fun teams to follow. Antwan Odom and all those DTs out of Memphis you guys paid for.
I even went to Shreveport for Saban's first Bowl Game vs. the Buffs. That was my first experience with actual Bama fans. I'll just let that one sit there.
Anyway, sad to see what's happened to the program under Saban.
Bullshit

I was in school during the Shula era and grew up going to games during the post Stallings Ncaa probation years. It was a nightmare (something Husky fans can relate to).
Most of us will never taking winning for granted due to the memories of that decade.
As for your experience in Shreveport, all I can say is we have our fair share of what we call sidewalk alums (others call them t-shirt fans). They are the ones who poison trees and shoot people when we lose. Fortunately they can't afford games like the Peach Bowl

The Tiger Bait didn't really bother me after the game because we were ...
Before the game we tailgated with a fairly well connected City of Baton Rouge employee (I'll just leave it at that) ... we ran into this person on Friday leaving our hotel and he insisted that we attend his tailgate. We went to dinner and ran across another person inviting us to their tailgate ... when we said that we couldn't because we already accepted an invitation to another tailgate this second person laughed and told us it was the same tailgate.
Long story short, there had to be 300+ people at this tailgate and the stories spun to my Yankee friends (like @Dennis_DeYoung I had also lived in Dallas for a time) had them shooting looks at me as if to say that the stories that I had been telling them over the years that they thought were complete bullshit perhaps weren't so bullshit. I laugh any time I talk to those on the trip about the South and the good ole boy network.

When your seats as a visitor are at the back row of the stadium seemingly 10k feet in the air ... it's hard to muster the desire to want to go do that again.
That being said, going to a game on a Louisiana Saturday Night should be on every college football fans bucket list.

Okay fuck you, it was a dude. Fine. Bama fans aren't comfortable with their sexuality yet so I was trying to make it Bammer friendly.
You have to ruin everything including hospitality.

Where to fucking start.
WSUs plays one meaningful game a season, the Apple Cup. They could go 1-11 but if their one win was the apple cup it was a successful season (this almost happened in 08 when we were 0-12 and WSU went 2-10 and beat us in an overtime game.)
Before the apple cup WSU fans go crazy with the shit talking. They love to cherry pick specific statistics to convince themselves they will win by 2+ TDs. Then when they lose by 4 TDs they always try and say the didn't care and that the huskies should have won because they are more talented. They also love their post game excuses. In 2015 they would have won if their starting QB would have played but of course since he didn't that explained the 41-10 ads whooping. This years excuse (although not as bad as last year) is that they lost their 2nd best WR. "If Carcraft would have played and the Huskies didn't have 3 goal line stops the score would have probably been 45-42 instead of 45-17".
Lather, rinse, repeat. Every fucking year the same sequence of events.
Until this year they had been living vicariously through our actual rival Oregon since Oregon had beaten us 100 years in a row. That's gone for them now too since we beat Oregon by 50 this year.
WSU is more of a little brother than a rivalry.
