Neuhsisel was sneering fraud of a coach, too. Not much love lost when he departed from most UW fans.You're probably right. I just remember during Neuheisel's reign things got particularly nasty, at least here in Eugene. I remember hearing the Duck fans spitting on Dawg players and such, I was like when the *** did that happen?? This kind of animosity did not exist when I went to school precisely because, like you had stated, the Dawgs were just so much better they didn't even acknowledge the Ducks as rivals. The Ducks saw the Dawgs as a rival, but that feeling wasn't mutual.
I've admired and enjoyed the Ducks and Beavers with lots of great players from those programs. Who could forget the Power Munchin running backs from O St? The Rodgers Bros were exciting to watch as Jacquizz would literally herd his O line in front of him while picking holes behind. Defenders couldn't even see him until he hit a gap for extra yards. Also; Steven Jackson. A few Seahawks defenders would like to forget him.
