Where were you the last time Washington beat Oregon in a football game? The year was 2003, in case you're interested.
I was working as a fill-in night appetizer chef at the Saucebox, a bullshit hipster joint on Broadway in downtown Portland. I think it may still be there, filled with a Mason Jar quantity of idiots night after night.
The scenesters were too hip to have a telly in the joint as they enjoyed their cocktails and boring conversations, so I had to hand my duties off to the other fill-in night chef and traipse across the street to a combo pizza hall and pool joint that had a couple of TVs blasting.
The game was in Seattle, and Washington tormented Kellen Clemens no end, beat the Ducks 42-10, I think.
It was a major disappointment, alleviated by my obligation to head back to the cafe and relieve my co-worker, who went off silently into the night.
I cleaned everything up and got out of there myself a couple of hours later.
And that was the last time UW beat the Ducks.
What will happen this Saturday? Only thing I know is I won't be serving a lot of crap appetizers to the rich asshole children of Portland's aristocracy, thank me stars.
