I've never understood Beavs fans who do not actively root against the ducks....I always assume they are not really into sports......when you have a rival, you do not ever root for them. It's how the whole thing works.

Who we profess to hate is a big part of building and solidifying an identity. This is typically done as a teen/young adult and is carried through life without review. It's a safe place to return to fit into groups and feel part of something larger. This is why many things people causally profess to hate are immature and silly to feel so strongly about as an adult. Not long ago a dude on a construction site told me how much he hates Jewel. She hasn't had a hit or been culturally relevant since 1998. She's spent her post lime light years working on housing and education. Whatever though, better than hating for a real reason lol Kinda funny that people are supporting Oral Roberts considering it's founded by the guy who created the prosperity doctrine offshoot of Christianity. Dude siphoned off millions from followers doing faith healing and telling them if they donated they would get rich as God favored them more. Most, if not all, of those kids playing for OSU don't know Oral Roberts from Orel Hershiser or oral hygiene. They just went there to play baseball. I assume you mean ORU? They definitely do. It's a private evangelical university. There's nothing wrong with them picking that university but it is interesting that some beavs would rather cheer for literally anything but the ducks. Could be Nazi youth college of genocide and some fans would be all about them taking down the Nike Ducks. |

It's how the whole thing works. The only exception I can think of is if you're a platypus Well maybe they don't have such an orange and green approach to life. If everything from a group is bad and you build one of your identities around hating that group then you are myopically locked into missing out in n relationships, events, ideas and joys that may have occurred otherwise. If I took that path I wouldn't have the love of my life or 3 kids that are a significant part of my world. It's not even in our best interest to always hate the ducks. Makes us look like jealous losers and it actively helps the conference as a whole when they succeed. I never root for them in a head to head but am I gonna cry when we get some cash cause they lost a Natty against an SEC team? Nah. I also wouldn't have cried if they won because maybe the conference would have gotten some respect in the post BCS era. |

I just got tired of the little brother s%#t.....or people from other places asking me why I have Beavs gear and not Ducks gear.....or countless other interactions with entitled duck bandwagon fans......Is Beaver Nation perfect? Hell no! I've witnessed plenty of bad behavior from Beavs fans.....but not to the degree I've seen from hole That said, um soooo glad my wife and I are both OSU alum |

Terrible actor. Plays the same weirdo in every part. He was outstanding in David Cronenberg’s The Fly. The Big Chill, the Right Stuff, Law and Order CI. |

If the *ucks ever schedule a game against the Nazi Youth College of Genocide, they’re on their own. |

Speaking of nazis vs nike u, I hate them as much as anybody on this board. I root for them to lose even when it's not in the interest of the Beavers. Having said that, am I going to root for hole over usc next year? I don't know. I doubt it but i guess I'll have to wait till game day, because I sure am salty at USC and UCLA for leaving and I may have to suspend my rule for a season because I'd like to see the LA schools crash and burn as they enter the Big 10. At least tsdtr is Pac-12 for now. Interesting dilemma.

We beat them in three of four games. They're making it to Omaha makes OSU look better. |

I never actively root for the Ducks. Ever. I have a strong dislike for everything Eugene.
Not because they have a billionaire alum who gives them every advantage he can to see them win. I want that here too.
Not because they wear a bunch of jerseys.
Not because their fans don't show up for their teams until they start winning. Ours don't either.
Not because they have players that get in trouble with the law. Every school has that.
I dislike them because they are the Ducks.

I agree with Nuke! If I were a duck alum, I'd root for the Beavers too!
Go Beavs!!
