‘Idiot fans’
need to shut up
While holding on to last minute hopes that the Ducks would come back from a deficit to beat the Huskies on Nov. 16, I found the idea of returning home increasingly attractive. Not because we were losing. Not because I was drenched from the rain. Not even because I was hungry, but because of the idiot fans within hearing distance. The last thing my friends and I wanted to hear was Husky fans being cursed at, UW football players being referred to as the female genitalia, and other inappropriate and disgusting comments by University students.
I asked myself whether University students, supposedly our future leaders, could really be this uncivilized. I’m all about cheering on our team and even the occasional good-natured boo, but the idiot fans I’m referring to crossed the line during Saturday’s game.
A quick lesson to idiot fans (you know who you are): 1) Shut your mouth 2) Ask your mama to clean your mouth out with soap 3) Get yourself some duck tape to cover your mouth with 4) Idiot fan: If all else fails … leave Autzen.
We don’t want you.

Since, according to Friday’s article, students will likely have the opportunity to name that ridiculous new mascot, I have a few suggestions. How about “Sellout McQuacks-a-lot,” or maybe “Greedy McStupid.” Give me a break. Is nothing sacred? This University seems to be losing its institutional character and sense of humor as dollar signs begin to ring up in the eyes of administrators.
