8 hours ago8 hr Administrator No. While my observation makes us uncomfortable, it may very well apply. When Washington was beating us year after year for decades, we looked at them as a rival, but they did not regard us as such. Only now do both sides view each other with intense rivalry. USC fans are viewing Oregon the same way that Oregon viewed Washington during those frustrating years; they look up to us as a rival, we did not view them as a West Coast rival until they start beating us on a regular basis.But their fans and their coaches sure make it fun to beat them!

I don't really view them as a rival. Ducks don't play them often enough. They are unlikeable sure. But a rival?"SC is the biggest brand on the West Coast, and whether it's correct or not, SC is The West Coast football Blueblood and the only team other than Oregon in the Pacific and Mountain time zones with a Blue Chip Roster.Now that SC has upped its recruiting game and portal-picking prowess, SC is Oregon's top West Coast competitor for talent, especially SoCal talent.Outside of the Eastern time zone, SC is Oregon's B1Ggest challenger for a spot in the PO.9/26/26 in LA is a program-defining game for SC and a game Dan Lanning knows he needs to win to continue Oregon's West Coast supremacy.The number of eyeballs on the SC game will dwarf those for all other 2026 games, except the 11/7/26 game against Ohio State in Columbus, with a good chance that GameDay and Big Noon will be in town.I think the game will kick off at 7:30 Eastern. The biggest SEC game on 9/26/26 is Texas at Tennessee, scheduled to be broadcast at Noon Eastern.Current Odds - Oregon -5.5 - Over/Under 58.5Great topic, thanks.
5 hours ago5 hr No. Hopefully the B1G will recognize the opportunity here. To be true rival requires an annual match-up imo. It's hard to get the juices flowing playing every third year.I have a ton of hate for Trojan. Especially after they tried to stick it to Oregon in the reshuffle. Cowards!This fued is ripe to be a full blown "kick'em when they are down" rivalry. Hopefully the B1G powers will recognize this and schedule yearly. I would love to stomp Trojan into the ground every November for sure.
5 hours ago5 hr No. Notre Dame is opening a new $100 million dollar football facility. USC officially opens their new gazillion facility August 5. The Oregon facility opened in 2018, as I recall.Would USC spent that much, for that elaborate a facility, if Oregon hadn't been making recruiting in-roads in So. Cal?

When the current scheduling format concludes in 2028, I hope that B1G HQ will have the four West Coast teams playing every season. If this means one more season to play every Big Ten opponent twice, so be it. One fewer trip to the Central or Eastern time zone for the 'Pac-4' and one fewer B1G team having to trip West.

The arrogance of their fan base is further reason to despise them. I had a roommate from USC in law school...he lasted for less than a year.....thank God. What a piece of work.
