Still true?
 
Oregon kids born anywhere up until say 2000 hate Washington with a passion.

Washington kids born from say 1990 until now hate Oregon the same way.
it isn’t hard to figure out why.
Right now the rivalry is as healthy as it’s been since the late 90s/early 2000s and that’s great.
Oregon has lost 3 highly competitive games in a row. Can’t wait to see how the next 3-5 years unfold. Will be great for the region and the b1G10 conference, as I truly believe that only Michigan/tOSU will be a bigger ticket going forward.
 
Who knows what the next 3-5 years hold though based off the NCAA / NIL madness. UW could get a billionaire on board, Phil Knight may move onto Hades, Lan Danning could go back to the SEC, Fisch could get poached by an NFL team etc etc.

I’m not sure about Washington kids hating Oregon, I would more so say they’ve been enamored with the flash/flair of what Oregon has become. It’ll be interesting to see if the NIL movement will kill that and recruiting in the NW shifts.

Prior to college football starting in the mid 90’s…
Now the hatred for UW is real in Oregon, just not sure it’s the kids…

I can agree with most of this. But if you're Haie or BTP you hate Oregon more than just about anything else in your life and it manifests itself here.

If you're Race or some of the older guys you hate UW admin for allowing this rivalry to develop the way it has over the last 30 years because prior to that you had an absolute stranglehold on this region.

False.
Also false about kids growing up in Oregon after the 2000.
 
Zeroes fans still haven't realized that Nike is the National (albeit international) brand, not the Ducks. Without Nike Oregon is at best a regional NW Oregon brand.

But the reality is that Oregon does have Nike, so cope harder I guess?
 
People forget that when Nike first wanted to brand a college football team's uniforms (ie make a decision that was solely about good business), they went with the flagship university of the Pacific Northwest, the University of Washington. People forget that.

People forget that because it’s false.
Oregon and Washington both began their sponsorship deals with Nike in 1995 after having been with Russell Athletic prior.
