Kinda western central Oregon to the northeast portion of Washington is quite a distance and not in the same footprint. Not a lot of UO fans wandering around in Spokane, they had to be imported for the game. Eugene to Spokane is 460 miles according to the internets. Storrs to Albany is 130. South Bend to Chicago is under 100. We're talking about an entirely different scale here, not to mention like I said there isn't a sizable portion of the local population predisposed to rooting for them. So, yeah, you're incorrect about that. Now Oregon playing in Portland would be an entirely different story, I'll give you that as being in their back yard, with very much of a pro-UO crowd in town.
