Beaver Nation, We're all going to laugh at them!

From the Desk of the Fun Czar of Beaver Nation:

Greetings, Beaver Nation!

Hey, I know that we've had our ups and downs. We've had our bad times and our very good times! But I'm sending this to you because we share something in common that is so vitally important: We are Beaver Believers and there is a simple matter of --ahem-- a ROSE BOWL at stake here this Saturday, people!

Saturday is the most important Fall Saturday in Corvallis in at least two weeks. It's bigger than any of the wins against USC, bigger than the 2000 Civil War, bigger than all of the home games you've ever been to as a Beavers fan in the past 50 years! The Granddaddy of Them All is on the line and we are IN CONTROL of our fate!

Let's be perfectly clear: beating the team that only finished 5th in the Pac-10 each of the past two years really isn't really that big of a deal. It's about the far more successful, more interesting, more prestigious Beavers winning--especially this year.

After so many years of Oregon State consistently finishing ahead of them in the conference, so many years of having better and more talented players than them, so many years of beating them head to head, and so many years of listening to their unending whining and excuses for losing-- it's finally to the point that nobody in the country has any doubts about it. To anyone who can fog a mirror, it's quite obvious that the Beavers have the better program, better coach, and the best team. Nobody in their right mind would trade any of OSU's starting players for any of their starting players (especially the ones that they like to refer to as 'receivers').

We have had a good season of fan support and had a great fan effort against USC, but we need to show that we are the best fans once and for all.

They want you to boo them, but that is far better than what they deserve. They haven't won in our stadium for an entire generation so there's really not any reason to dislike them anymore. They have a program that is not very far removed from going 37 consecutive years without being nationally ranked. So they've already had one of their best years of all-time by achieving that this year. It will be a treat for their fans to travel to Las Vegas and sample some excellent buffet-style dining; they'll have a unique opportunity to watch their team set the record for most Las Vegas Bowl losses while also extending their Pac-10 record for most bowl losses and lowering their--already lowest--bowl winning percentage in the process. It's a run of good luck that couldn't happen to nicer people.

There is no need to give them the satisfaction of booing them. This year, when that team enters the stadium, we will do something different. Beaver Nation, we're all going to laugh at them!

Like this:

1) "That Team" Enters Stadium

2) Stand up
3) Point
4) Laugh

5) Repeat after half time

It is beautiful and unique, but most of all, it is honest. What football fan in this great nation doesn't laugh at them for their continual mockery of good taste already?

Turkey on Thursday, a far less delicious bird on Saturday!

Laugh at what? Our snazzy uniforms?

Seriously, let’s not bicker. Let’s just say, may the best, most prepared, best coached, most rested team win. OK? Now, let’s see which team that would be, hmmmm.

Wow!

I used to think duck fans were the worst, but this article really changed my opinion. Congratulations Beavers on stooping down to their level! This article is filled with nonsense. If I’m not mistaken, the Ducks and Beavers have alternated wins in the last decade or so, except for last year when the Ducks had something like 9 starters out…including something like the top three quarterbacks. And they still only lost in Overtime! The Beavers wouldn’t play a close Civil War in that situation. And let’s not forget that last year the Ducks (however much it pains me to say it) were the best team in the nation when everyone was healthy, and would’ve played for a NC, something the Beavers probably never have hope for. Also, don’t the Ducks hold the all-time series record?

But go ahead and think whatever makes you happy Beaver fans, because even if you were better than the Ducks, who cares, because you’ll never measure up to SC.

Excellent post Hank

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I often wonder why the “Beaver Nation” calls Duck fans a littany of names. It appears that it is the proverbial pot calling the kettle black.
In any case. I, for one am just looking forward to a good game. Win or lose, I will always be proud of our Ducks because I know they will play hard and as they have shown all season, they will never give up.
Good luck to both the Ducks and the Beavers. I know they will put on a show for all of us fans of the wonderful game of College Football. Sadly, the season is coming to a close. For me there are only 2 seasons. Football season, and waiting for football season. Sigh.

Man if I didnt want OSU to win for Cal-related reasons, you are definitely making me want to root for Oregon.

I can tell that you're new to this, Twist.

Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it.

Everything that I write about oregon is quite literally a mirror-image parody of what ducks fans like to say about Oregon State; every single thing. All that I’m doing is righting the paradigm and stealing it away from their obtuse obnoxiousness.

They’re fueled by their homer beatwriter and TV/radio announcers who do things like promote their defensive backfield as the best in the country—remember that they’re the only pass defense ranked behind WSU and UW. That’s just one tiny, tiny, miniscule example. Here’s a better one:

http://bronconationnow.com/an-open-letteremail-to-the-oregon-sports-network

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMS7O4xpLs0

That should give you a bigger picture of what the ducks’ local fans actually say in real life. Their fans really say those things and believe them when they say them.

They have this weird, unexplainable sense of entitlement that something is owed to them personally because a dude gave their school 150 million dollars. I think it’s hilarious. All Beavers fans think it’s hilarious.

duckies: we’re laughing at you, and we’re far from the only ones.

Not all Duck fans think this – but more likely a vocal minority. (See 3rd result)

My question to you is, where do you run into fans that you parody?

When has anyone mentioned that they have a sense of entitlement from Knight?

The beatwriter and Oregon Sports Network people, while they do contribute to the hype, aren’t the source. And I’m not sure what else you expect from the OSN (Other than more class). (I personally think Giansante is one of the biggest douchbags). Very respected sources, such as Phil Steele were more of the origins. Did UO fans buy into it coverage? Abso-(lawyers)-lutely, but I wouldn’t expect OSU fans to react much differently. It is a bit embarrassing.

If you want to imitate someone like Joe Giansante, that’s fine by me, but while you’re doing that, I believe you’re hurting the OSU fan base just as much as any of the Oregon media douchbags you hate/laugh at.

But maybe I’m wrong.

crystal ball

If only we had some way of knowing how OSU would do against Penn St.

Some Beaver fans seem to think because they beat USC that they will stomp Oregon. If you are watching this year you will notice that Oregon’s offense is better than USC. Be careful what you wish for. Its going to be a good game.

by cookemonster33 on Nov 28, 2008 5:17 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Is that why you were able to outscore USC's offense 10-44 ?

Oh wait….

And no OSU fans think we are going to “stomp” Oregon. In fact, if you read most the posts, we know it’s going to be a dogfight
It’s the Oregon fans that think they are walking into Reser and coming out with a 20 point win

So 1 person is changing your whole perspective on Beaver fans huh?

How about this in today’s Oregonian:
Likelihood of:
Oregon fan getting ejected at Autzen: 1 in 600
Oregon State fan getting ejected at Reser: 1 in 2,000
Game where most fans got ejected
Oregon: UCLA, 121
Oregon State: USC, 26
Weirdest reason for ejection
Oregon State: man walking into women’s restroom
Oregon: fighting over a seat, man sent to hospital

That is where we get our anti-Oregon fan sentiments from.
So don’t let one fan change your whole mind about OSU fans in general

New weirdest reason for ejection:

OSU student premeditates terrorist act, brings paint grenade to stadium, hurls it at band, gets arrested spends the night in jail and has to pay for a couple dozen OMB uniforms and some Reser stadium turf.

What's the difference between U of O fans and Beaver nation

CV3000, I’m trying to figure out why you hate Oregon fans soooo much. When you are full of confidence in your team, it’s OK. When Oregon fans do the same, it’s “obnoxious”, “arrogant”, and a sense of entitlement. Aren’t we all just supporting our team? Should we downgrade our own team just to make you happy? Beaver fans love their team, win or lose- good or bad. So do Oregon fans. You keep mentioning the financial support Oregon gets from Phil Knight as if it’s a bad thing. I’m sorry if this comes off as mean, but the more you keep talking about it, the more it appears that you are just jealous and wish OSU had a “Phil Knight”.
There will always be obnoxious fans (on both sides). I’ve read a lot of your posts, for quite a while now, and you seem to always have some hateful things to say, lumping all Oregon fans into the same stereotype, while at the same time lauding OSU fans as morally superior in every way. There are as many respectful, decent Oregon fans as there are OSU fans. We are all proud supporters of our team.
Let’s just hope our team never acts like some of the fans (on both sides) do.
I hope you enjoy the game tomorrow. It should definitely be one of the best Civil wars in a long time and I’m sure will be a dogfight.
Go Ducks!!!

OSU Football actually makes more money than uo football--by several million per year.

You can look it up on “equity in athletics” if you care to verify. That’s just a perfect example of inaccurate ducklore. We don’t need a phil knight; we have a Beaver Nation. We don’t base our self-esteem on one donor’s contributions—we have built something together that is better.

OSU has a billionaire philanthropist alumnus as well, but we don’t feel entitled to anything because of that; nor do we pull the wool over the eyes of the state legislature to receive donations from him. We would love his support, but we certainly don’t need it. He gives his money to building elementary schools and is building his own university from scratch instead of trying to buy one to serve as a billboard for his multinational slave labor organization. :-)

It’s nice that you have your opinions. And it’s alright if you don’t understand mine.

I will enjoy the game very much. I sincerely hope that your team wins… the coin toss.

CV3000

The only purpose your posts seem to have is to try to rile up Duck fans so that you can then berate them for their “arrogance”. I’m sorry for you that you keep talking about Phil Knight as a slave laborer, you continue to come across as jealous and spiteful. Again, you put your own benefactor as almost holy, while at the same time trying to villify Mr. Knight who has by the way, given his wealth to many other universties and charities besides Oregon and is by all accounts a fine humanitarian.
I can see that your posts will never be fair to anyone other than OSU. I will leave you with this… May the best team win today and in both of our bowl games, wherever they may be.
Go Ducks!!

Blowing huge holes in the dam

Believe it or not, my favorite storyline this past week leading up to the Civil War was the item about the off-season friendships between UO and OSU players, like Nick Reed and Andy Levitre. There’s a great deal of mutual respect between the players and the programs. This is a very good thing. The Beavers have a very good team—a very close, confident bunch, who play hard and never quit. As a fan, I don’t see how you can ask for more. I like your team and your coaches, and even many of your fans. Unfortunately, the tenor of this heated rivalry is more often characterized by the fringe loonies whose inappropriate ego identification with the success of their teams and poor understanding of sportsmanship threaten to make a mockery of the games. But I must confess that while I’m truly sorry that your Rose Bowl dreams were blown apart, I’m happy that it was Oregon that brought the dynamite. Just the same, you guys had a great run. Go stomp on someone in your bowl game and feel much better. Often it seems like many of your fans take more joy in Duck misery than you do your own success. That’s not a very good recipe for happiness. Both schools should be ecstatic that they’re closer to the top of the pile these days. With the meager resources in this state and the continual leveling of growing parity across the college football landscape, 9-plus wins per season will become harder to come by for everyone. Enjoy it now while you have it. In the meantime, I’m going to try to keep any smugness from creeping into my smile as I recount an historic Civil War victory by a team that finally played up to its considerable talent level. Growth like this are what athletics and competition are all about.
