This whole west-coast-city-bashing thing is really getting out of hand

Anything west of Chicago, they think we live in log cabins and teepees.

If you’re a football fan, they remind you constantly.

Yeah, it’s just not fair that the entire Pacific Northwest has got only one NFL team (a mid one sadly) to support. Like, even Portland has the Trail Blazers basketball team (Seattle has women’s and UW and SeattleU have college basketball, but no NBA) but no football team- or Boise, or Spokane. Now college football on the other hand… we’ve got four teams that are all rivals of each other (Washington Huskies in Seattle, Oregon Ducks in Eugene, Washington State Cougars in eastern WA and Oregon State Beavers in Corvallis) and the Idaho Vandals as well, just across the state line from WSU. And UW and Washington state aren’t all that bad either.
