Unless you've grown up here, you just won't get it...

Go anywhere in Oregon and mention the "Civil War" and you may be surprised of the reaction you receive. You may get someone pumped up, yelling for their team in your face, saying why their so good and how their going to crush the other. You may get someone who looks at you like your nuts for bringing such a thing up in front of so many people, you don't want to start riots do you!? Very few people will actually start chatting about muskets and the south.

The Civil War in Oregon is Nationally known! College football folks ... you are either Orange or Green, don't let people fool you if they say they don't care who wins, as long as it's a good game. Their lying to avoid confrontation!

Tonight was a devastating night. Our team, Orange all the way baby, played like crap. Now most peoples pride wavers when their teams don't play up to par. They are embarrassed even to associate with "their" team. Me? I get really sad when my team doesn't play to the level I have witnessed and come to expect. I get angry, and confused, and hope that whatever the issue is, can be resolved before the next Saturday. Tonight ... tonight was rough. Standford pummeled us. I mean this in every aspect of the word. We just couldn't get a break. They nearly injured our Quarterback, they injured Dockery, about took out Wheaton, and immediately afterward, gave a beating to Quizz ... TWICE, after the play was over! Now I should say that although talented, I am not completely sold on Katz yet. He has a long way to come before he can carry this team the way Canfield could.

My point ... If you want to go on and on about how I should be proud an Oregon team is doing so well nationally, you should know now that I DO NOT GIVE A FLYING CARE ON THIS PLANET! I am a BEAVER! I am PROUD! I wear my colors with pride and am NOT ashamed to proclaim my pride, even after a game like tonight's! I am OSU damn it and nobody is going to change my mind. Good for the Oregon team that is #1 nationally, they play good from what I hear, however, if you think I will sit and watch their games and root for their team just because they have an 'O' on their shirts, you have another thing coming to you. I BLEED ORANGE!
