The Oregon-Washington matchup this week has triggered a lot of publicity for a number of reasons. It will be the 107th act in this historic Northwest rivalry and the 20th anniversary of The Pick, Kenny Wheaton’s interception that plays right before the action starts at Autzen Stadium during every home game.
But there’s more. It’s been 10 years since the Huskies came out on top in either Eugene or Seattle. The #LastTimeUWBeatUO hashtag has exploded on Twitter and even become its own website.
Here are some of the best posts from the last week:
