I have been to Autzen twice during visits to family in Oregon. Duck fans are the most obnoxious, ignorant, and classless fan base in my experience. B1G Presidents knew this going in, but relented to Fox anyway and invited the misfits. Even at the Coliseum (in the Herd section nonetheless), I have been exposed to obnoxious behavior from duckies showing off their big vaginas, yelling and spitting in my ear. So, when I hear shit from ducks on the board, I get a punch twitch reflex. I know LA Duck and Tee are generally good dudes, so our banter is all in good fun. The Coliseum crowd is generally laid back, but I do wonder how some crowds at B1G venues will react to duck fan behavior. I do understand this boorish, ignorant, uncouth behavior is to be expected from such an uneducated fan base. College fan bases typically personify the prestige of the respective University. It doesn't help that Oregon University has such a low academic stature. Their freshmen admission test scores rank among the lowest in the world annually. Shameful. Misfits in an otherwise class conference.

Intersting poll on classless fans.
As far as SC goes, I can see how some visiting fans might find SC insufferable. What's with the no names on the jerseys? All the natty's, all the heisman banners, a sun glasses wearing obnoxious band that plays the same freaking songs over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over . you get the point.
Personally I love it. But then again. I drank the Kool-aid several decades ago.
Pompous asses is one thing. Violent drunks is another. And this is where whOregon takes it to a new level and seems to be proud of it for whatever reason. Maybe they just don't know how to behave because not only have they never been there before, maybe because they haven't been anywhere else before? don't care.
My advice to any BIG fan is just don't go to Eugene. It's not worth it. You won't have a good time. Go to the Washington game if you want to see the pacific northwest. Nicer people. Better stadium. More stuff to do. And besides, It's a real school. sc
I can give lot more reasons than that ....like lower academic standing, money bags overflowing for NIL, a big mouth egomaniac as a Head Coach ...oh forget that one Michigan also has one of those, players that play dirty and take cheap shots by the boat load.....but here is a reason the Big would want them....impact the recruiting ownership on the west coast for USC and UCLA which would have made them a lot stronger contenders in the Big. Put Oregon and UW in the Big and all of a sudden a whole lot of west coast teams are vying for the talent from the west coast....
Lol, people who haven't attended a game in Eugene think I'm exaggerating when I describe the game day behavior of Ore fans. Not all are bad, I fact, I've seen some duck fans walk up to their brothers/sisters and make the exact same statement, "stop it, you're embarrassing us." After seeing/hearing this in person about 10 times, I'm positive a few of the normal Duck fans have discussed the problem (on line maybe) in an attempt to find a solution. From my personal experiences, the poor behavior hasn't stopped.....
Remember DeCleater? He's going to Autzen this year. He's not dressing in SC gear, but he will report back on his experiences at Autzen, mostly how Duck fans treat SC fans wearing USC clothing. Lol, I have a feeling he will be taken back a little.... Ask TeE if you want an honest answer. LADuck will tell you Duck fans are well behaved,,,,, LMAO,,,,, JOKE. Yes, LADuck is a nice guy, but he will NEVER say one bad word about his team or it's fans.
You do realize what B/R is. right? A place for anyone to write an article. As this one is written by a UW alum. Biased much.
All I ask is you refer to the Ducks as UO or Univ of Oregon, or U of O. Please. No OU or Oregon University.
I don't even mind the Zeros or U of Zeros. But OU is Oklahoma.
At least when they come play against UCLA their meth fueled insane fan noise doesn't echo in the empty Rose Bowl. Qwack is whack.
