Off The Pond | Oregon Duck Football and Those Other Sports Too » Terry Obee http://www.offthepond.net Mostly useless but at least a little fun Mon, 07 Nov 2011 16:15:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 The Rivalry According to YouTube http://www.offthepond.net/2009/10/the-rivalry-according-to-youtube/ http://www.offthepond.net/2009/10/the-rivalry-according-to-youtube/#comments Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:35:49 +0000 Nick, OTP http://www.offthepond.net/?p=1815 Who knew YouTube could write blog posts? My video version of this rivalry is decidedly one-sided so you won’t find anything remotely Husky-centric. Then again, YouTube is a modern invention and, considering Oregon’s won 10 of the last 14, Washington’s better days would probably be hard to find in the digital realm.

No explanation necessary here. You’ve seen it before and you’ll see it again until you die (YouTube Credit: chrispdx, but also winesfamily.blogspot.com which claims to have made the original video).

Labeled as “The Catch” in 1997, Patrick Johnson’s diving catch in the end zone gave Oregon back to back road wins in the series for the first time since 1935. This is a cool version that takes off of the NBA’s 2009 playoff theme (YouTube Credit: jtlight, I believe, of AddictedToQuack.com).

I’m a bit young for this one, but I’ve been conditioned over the years to know this 17-14 win in 1988 was due to Terry Obee’s late touchdown (YouTube Credit: jtlight again).

Oregon’s win over #6 Washington in 2000 lacked that defining play the others possess, but it deserves to stand up there as one of the biggest wins for Oregon over the course of the rivalry (YouTube Credit: keeerrrttt1, which is a user that apparently has a sticky keyboard).

Just for good measure, a smattering of plays from 2008 to serve as a reminder that this is the greatest period of Duck domination in the rivalry’s history even if it’s lacked any serious intrigue (YouTube Credit: duckuniverse).
